#1 In a separate, simultaneously released ruling, the highest court of the land — in a 5-4 vote — allowed a similar vaccine mandate for healthcare facilities that receive Medicaid and Medicare to stand.

So forget the Congress and the Constitution. If you accept the federal dollar, you will do as we (Joe Biden) says.

#3 ...As much as I hate to say this, two cheers for the medical worker mandate. My wife is a CNA, my father in law just retired after 50 years as a physician, and they both supported health workers being vaxed.

My wife's position at least was very plain and clear: she worked with hospice patients - mostly elderly - in order to give them something resembling peace and dignity in their last days. The idea of her passing, even unknowingly, COVID on to one of these folks was utterly abhorrent to her. Mind you, this was before Omicron and its ability to carry without symptoms, but I believe the main point still applies - if you're going to work with the medically vulnerable, you have to take every possible precaution available.

And let me clarify - if any of my fellow 'Burgers reading this are health care workers and do NOT agree with the mandate, it does not change my regard or respect for you as I hope it will not change those things with you for me. This is something I believe reasonable people can disagree on.

#4 I wonder how all those healthcare workers who worked all the way through this bullshit without a vax feel about being fired for not bending the knee?

#5 Where and when did the Healthcare workers sign away their basic human rights?

#6 The "feds pay so feds make the rules" thing is flawed logic. There is no such thing as "federal money." There is revenue taken coercively from the citizens in the form of taxation. In that sense, it remains the citizens money, but the taint of passage through the maw of FedGov is used to justify lots of injustice.

#7 And so far none points that Congress wrote the law that the 5-4 majority relied on to back up the vax mandate for healthcare workers. That mandate does NOT apply to healthcare systems which refuse to accept federal money (very few of them exist). Congress is free at any time to amend that law to exclude vax mandates. None has pointed this out. 100% of the House and about 33% of the Senate is up for reelection this year, but this issue will most likely never be mentioned in the campaigns.

The right to be unemployed has not been impaired.

#9 So the dancing nurses will be more susceptible to miscarriage and strokes.

What a shame.

#10 The right to be unemployed has not been impaired.

They should be able to ply their trade and do what they are trained for. It should be between the worker - and the healthcare facility.
