Chilling thought, isn't it? My mind writhes at all the possible outcomes of this.

Personally, I'd like to see everyone get vaccinated. I'd rather be vaccinated than not. Though I can still contract Covid, chances are in my favor of not getting deathly sick and dying from it.

But to force this issue the way the government is doing? Yikes. I've never seen anything like this. Only healthcare workers should be mandated, and that mandate should ONLY come from the faculties they work in, not from the federal government.

Those two were such schmucks. They acted like bullies.

Original date was set for Jan 4 but the red state lawsuit pushed it back, the states that filed the lawsuit defeated the emergency.

The "emergency" was nothing more than a manufactured excuse to bypass all the procedural requirements for such a rule. There was no emergency in play to begin with.

How and why anyone can vote for it is beyond my understanding. I really hope SCOTUS makes the right decision here and smacks Brandon another blow and put this forced mandate in the history books as another loss for him and his big pharma cronies.
You can say the same thing about republicans though. They enact polices that people feel are draconian like taking away a women's right to choose. This is taking away their freedom. I think we all have a different definition of freedom. I don't feel a vaccine mandate takes away any freedoms. It's a health issue, and has nothing to do with freedom. We all got the mmr vaccine. This is how we stopped measles, mumps and rubella. Do you consider this a forced vaccination. Of course not. When there is a solution to mitigate the spread of a deadly virus, which has consumed our country for two years, then you take it. It's not about taking any freedom away. But the supreme court will rule against it so you have nothing to worry about.

Yet it was supposedly an emergency many months before that original January 4th date.

Liberals will never answer this question.

They consider the unvaccinated to be second class citizens.

Just another group they look down on. I guess they got tired of vilifying minorities as to too dumb to vote on time or get an ID.

Why can't the people who keep bringing up MMR/polio/smallpox wrap their head around the fact that if there was a covid vaccine based on those tried and true technologies, and that it WASN'T MANDATED, most people would get it.
