But note whose health the agency claims to be concerned with in its rule: Unvaccinated workers, not their vaccinated colleagues who are at risk of being infected by them in a shared indoor space. Essentially, the feds are taking a “for your own good” approach to justify their mandate, forcing the unvaxxed to get immunized to mitigate their own personal risk of illness. They could have come at this from the other way, arguing that because the unvaxxed are more likely to infect others, have higher viral loads, etc, they need to be vaccinated to reduce the risk they pose to all of their colleagues.
“For your own good” is an awfully slippery slope for federal health regulations. Obesity is a “grave danger” to the health of an obese person but not to the health of those around him. Based on today’s standard, shouldn’t OSHA be able to set workplace rules aimed at preventing overweight employees from gaining weight on the job? No vending machines at work, for instance? Or no access to vending machines if you’re above a certain BMI?
It’s a dud and won’t hold up in court. My GF and other friends already asked their top management and it’s a dud. The may force a mandate but will give exemptions to all who request. But it depends on the attitude of company you work for.
Fear is the only power the government has.
well there you have it. You will be vaxxed to protect you from the vaxxed. They spread and shed so will you. Makes perfect sense. Actually there should be a scale at the drive through to weigh your car so it can check weight to fat arsed person ratio.
At the register with a height meter or you have to provide your BMI card that has to be updated by your doctor monthly and taxed accordingly.
