The Mandate On Health-Care Workers Is Still Unjust

 Biden declared war on 80 million unvaccinated Americans, portraying them as Public Enemy Number One (except for postal workers, who the White House exempted from the mandate due to the clout of postal unions). Biden castigated the unvaxxed: "We've been patient but our patience is wearing thin."

Biden’s vaccine lies

  • The Biden administration has consistently portrayed vaccines as a panacea
  • Shortly before dictating the mandate, Biden promised, “You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations."
  • Biden did not formally issue his vaccine decrees until November 5, when his appointees unveiled a 150,000+-word Federal Register notice announcing his “jab or job” ultimatum
  • Team Biden explained that it was mandating vaccinations because the “most important inducement [for vaccination] will be the fear of job loss."

Healthcare workers fight back

  • Thousands of healthcare workers were fired for refusing to get injected
  • Biden responded to shortages of critical personnel by sending in a thousand U.S. military personnel to assist hospitals but provided zero relief for most healthcare facilities
  • In its brief to the Supreme Court, the Biden administration declared that the vaccine mandate was "critical to preventing outbreaks of (COVID-19) that had devastated Medicare- and Medicaid-participating facilities earlier in the pandemic."

Biden admits "no federal solution"

  • Biden also admitted in late December that there is no federal solution to COVID-19
  • During oral arguments, Justice Elena Kagan declared that the Biden policy is saying to healthcare providers "the one thing you can't do is to kill your patients."
  • However, the Biden mandate presumed that vaccines were the sole source of good health and protection and ignored postinfection immunity because of perceived "uncertainties... as to the strength and length of (natural) immunity."

SCOTUS vaccine rulings a mixed bag

  • On January 13, the court voted to uphold the vaccine mandate for all healthcare workers by a 5 to 4 vote.
  • The court's healthcare mandate ruling declared, "Ensuring that providers take steps to avoid transmitting a dangerous virus to their patients is consistent with the fundamental principle of the medical profession: first, do no harm."
  • Unfortunately, federal policymakers were exempt from the "do no harm" admonition.
