Yeah looks like they split the baby so to speak..striking down vaccine mandates for businesses but allowing them for health care workers and those who work at healthcare facilities
Which would include anybody who even just works far behind the scenes of a nursing home that gets federal money
My step sister is one of those in management who is looking at the end of a 27 year career because she simply cannot get the jab, due to the number and types of antibiotics that have been given her over the years
She got a religious exemption, but that’s even at risk
Which is hilarious based on the providers that are ordering vaccinated and Covid-positive workers - to work.
Health care facilities are actually bringing people back who are vaccinated but have covid.
There you go.
Justice Thomas’s last line of dissent:
These cases are not about the efficacy or importance of
COVID–19 vaccines. They are only about whether CMS
has the statutory authority to force healthcare workers, by
coercing their employers, to undergo a medical procedure
they do not want and cannot undo. Because the Government has not made a strong showing that Congress gave
CMS that broad authority, I would deny the stays pending
appeal. I respectfully dissent.
Simple, straightforward, elegant, correct.
Justice Alito’s last line of dissent:
Today’s decision will ripple through administrative agencies’ future decision making. The Executive Branch already
touches nearly every aspect of Americans’ lives. In concluding that CMS had good cause to avoid notice-and-comment
rulemaking, the Court shifts the presumption against compliance with procedural strictures from the unelected
agency to the people they regulate. Neither CMS nor the
Court articulates a limiting principle for why, after an unexplained and unjustified delay, an agency can regulate
first and listen later, and then put more than 10 million
healthcare workers to the choice of their jobs or an irreversible medical treatment.
Therefore, I respectfully dissent.
No, it says federally funded.
So perhaps there are some facilities with no funding?
And what does “funding” mean? Does that mean it’s ALL about the feds, or that some things are sometimes extra funded by feds?
