These companies paused their vax mandates because the federal vax-or-test mandate for companies with 100+ employees has been paused due to ongoing lawsuits.

Well stated and agreed.

And that allowed them to put it out in the Federal Register on November 4 and it became rule on November 5 with no review using "emergency powers".

See how that became a rule overnight ? Normally comment period is 30-60 days before final ruling.

So it's not really about protecting people. It's about power and control.

Yes, the original article posted at the beginning of the thread specifically cites that.


So the Constitution wins.


Lefty Authoritarianism loses.

You thought the large corporations in the US cared about protecting their workforce? Why would you think that?

Probably the first lawsuits from those injured by vaccines have started to roll in and guess who is going to be sued. Biden? Fauci? Oh, noooos. It'll be the corporations who coerced their employees into getting vaccinated who are going to pay the price for this.

Biden is not your friend folks. We tried to tell you.

We will be truly redeemed when we put Fauci and many charlatans at the head of HHS, NIH, FDA, and CDC on trial for corruption, conspiracy (in suppression of off-label pharmaceuticals). But this will probably not happen.

But anyways, still good news. May the bell of freedom chime, even if it's hard to hear it sometime.

In a perfect world, this would all be televised.

In a more-perfect world, so would their executions.

So yes, disband it all, and have every drug be accessible without a prescription. Safety can still be done, and doctor's recommendations can still be heeded, if needed.

But I'm done when Fauci/etc used taxpayer dollars (through tax write offs for donations) to obtain 66 million doses of HCQ, stockpile them at BARDA, and deny their distribution to save American lives. In some cases, millions of doses were destroyed.
Silly idea, work hand in hand with say UK, Germany, Canada etc on new drug approvals. We could have a much smaller FDA as a small sanity check at the end.

Then again, this might reduce a few avenues for big pharma to bribe... er I mean lobby congress for favorable laws.

From a strictly logistical point of view, mandates are a hideous idea.
