It looks like mandates take effect January 4, 2022. It will be interesting to see how many people walk their talk and how many fold because they were just posting on here to further politicize certain issues in the pandemic. I think some people are going to be walking back a few statements.

How does Covid Effect the Workplace? Official Gov Information about it!
This post is a reference for those who are interested in Official Covid information from the United States Government and (of course) how it may impact the workplace and layoffs.

So you have one person presenting a logical valid, fact-based scientific argument against vaccine mandates, then you have several posts from the opposing team presenting, uhh, Um, well, they are presenting something all right. Let's just leave it at that, lmao!
Wrong @bewm. Covid is now endemic, just like the common flu. There’s no mandatory flu shot mandate and nor will there be one for Covid. It’s just as pervasive as influenza and we will live with it forever. Those who believe their immune system is weak can go get their annual jab and those who are strong will work through it as always. Like all such viruses, we acquire some sort of herd immunity as our own bodies develop natural defenses to them. So quit with the mantra of calling for vaccine mandates. It won’t happen in this country because there are still a majority of us who use our logic and defend our rights.
The best advice is to never—ever—engage with trolls. Keep silent. Say nothing. Trolls want people to respond to them; that’s how they get their jollies. They crave confirmation that they have caused distress to someone.
Natural antibodies are not part of the discussion because the mandate is not about protecting lives. It is about seizing power that can be exercised in the future.
@9dfn, Sounds more like YOU regret having stepped up too soon. Here’s a word of advice to remember the rest of your life…. Always be prepared and well-informed, but there’s never a need to be in a rush for anything.
Gotta love the leftist jab-crazy fruits and democr.a.p phags who lie about being republicans so that people will read what they post instead of treating the post like the leftist progressive post that it is (ridiculous nonsense), lol!
Your buttboy Abbott is getting rejected just like you. Step up Cletus 💉, right where you like it, in your @$$
From the article you posted: “Although over 70 percent of the state’s hospitalized Covid-19 patients are unvaccinated”
People both deride and pity your lack of intelligence.
Texas schools can require masks after federal judge overturns Abbott’s ban.
Look into your future Texas 4ags
And I’m a REAL Republican
Texas Tribune reported the other day that Texas data shows that unvaccinated Texans make up vast majority of COVID-19 cases and deaths this year. Hmmm….
Yes, that's true, and the highest percent vaccinated states are now having the greatest number of cases. Makes you wonder about the motive for the mostly ineffective vaccines and the pointless mandates.
@8atz, I infected three people in my family with Covid after I got it. We have all been fully vaccinated. Is that sort of what you were trying so cryptically to convey?
Across all industries they’re finding that only about 1% of the working population is willing to be dismissed rather than getting a completely safe, life saving vaccine. Mandates work, I’m looking forward to the new year. 👍🏻
“Bidet” - hehe, “unconstitutional!” ~farts~, “you don’t understand freedom” ~infects someone who does of COVID~
I remember when you also complained about all the Trump executive orders … said nobody ever.
If you want to see censorship on this site just mention the racism displayed by a certain queen of woke....
Wow, the level of censorship on this site is really ramping up, especially around this topic. Many valid comments that have been removed.
“It’s unconstitutional if I don’t like it”.
Also, supports physically attacking the capital and ki----g law enforcement.
@5yfm, All I’ve got to say is Thank God you’re not an attorney on the payroll. Now get back to your mundane job, which has nothing to do with giving legal opinions.
@4mrj - We will just have to see what SCOTUS decides, but it seems to me that workplace vaccine mandates clearly fall under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution. If they are unconstitutional, wouldn't that make almost all of OSHA unconstitutional as well?
muh shekels!
To some people, their principles are more important than a paycheck.
“Liberty or death” not “liberty or a modest amount of inflated dollars”
The vaccine mandates may stop now that Governor Newscum has bells palsy from the booster. If enough high ranking politicians get sick, including the fake president, mandates may end.
@4axa+1dE7nGHK:
That was a sarcastic comment Mr Pedantic Pants. Get over yourself!
Sounds brave to ‘walk the talk’ and quit over the vaccine mandate, but really now???
Go ahead and quit a cush plus $150-$250,000 job n find a tiny company making $70,000 n work 50 plus hours a week. Yep, i am sure the company will take note of your protest n i am sure they will have a teal tuff time replacing you (not).
@4mrj+1dE7nGHK:
Actually you are missing the point that when States fail to protect health and welfare as they are required to do by law then the Federal government will step in.
@3lql, You are missing one huge point about vaccine mandates. It’s unconstitutional for a President to impose a vaccine mandate on a Federal level. The SCOTUS has made it known that health mandates can be imposed by the individual States only. So it seems the current injunction by a Federal Appeals Court will stand until the case can be heard in the higher court, and there’s another 16 injunctions coming up behind this one. Believe me, there will be no vaccine mandate across the land. This tyrannical government is beginning to come to a grinding halt. The people have had enough already, even Democrats are starting to question WTF is going on.
Supreme court justices have already opined that the vaccination issue should not be heard at the court level (Harlan). It's a State matter. What's more, state health agencies are mandated by law to protect the health and welfare of the public.
I work at a GOM covered facility and will be one of the first subject to our internal policy (FFD) on vax requirements. I will in fact walk the talk. No concessions here, so only about 25 days to go (Dec 1) before I my failure to comply is addressed by HR. Honestly its feels like welcomed relief, this entire saga of the functional transformation, covid, lockdowns, corporate edicts, governmental mandates and all the mental /emotional stress from situations external to me and antagonistic to my way of life is degrading my sense of wellbeing. Although I would have worked a few more years, I am fortunate to be able to leave with only relatively minor financial concerns. I'll probably just retire and live a more simple life than I had planned for but my peace of mind is worth it. Just really exhausted by all these external pressures and want to do my own thing with as little external influence as can be achieved. Good luck to everyone out there, I hope things work out for the better for all who must persevere.
Supreme Court already decided vaccine mandates are legal and don’t violate constitutional freedoms during a pandemic in 1905. Basically a person does not have a freedom to take away other peoples freedom (right to have good health).
I can assure you that unlike the people he accuses, the OP is one that talks the talk but does not walk the walk, otherwise, why would he post such nonsense?
In any case, It's good that those without the vaccine will not be subject to such totalitarian and non-science based political foolishness.
You are right it is not the Supreme Court but a stay for now anyway.
5th circuit court is not the Supreme Court.

Wow that brain is just fine. Yours on the other hand…not so well. Get your facts straight and learn how to read jwad.
OSHA vaccine mandate for larger businesses temporarily halted by federal appeals court

Don't get all caught up in the Sotomayor New York city deflection below. Not related.
Correction: Sotomayer declines blocking the mandate.
@2voj+1dE7nGHK:
False. Don’t know how your brain is managing to interpret Sotomayer’s blocking challenges to the COVID mandates in NYC as the Supreme Court putting a stay on the mandates.
5th Circuit is in Texas so no shocker about what’s happening there.
Not today Comrades. The Supreme Court has put a stay On Brandon’s unconstitutional mandates. You leftist loving commies will have to wait another day. Let Freedom Ring!
@1atf+1dE7nGHK
The 5th circuit already put out a stay on the new OSHA vaccine mandate:
"Because the petitions give cause to believe there are grave statutory
and constitutional issues with the Mandate, the Mandate is hereby STAYED pending further action by this court."
@1glu+1dE7nGHK
Same mindset made ppl OK with operating the ovens in 1940's Germany.
Normal people just "doing their job..."
Best thing to do is PRAY.
