Businesses react to ruling against Biden vaccine mandate

For companies that were waiting to hear from the U.S. Supreme Court before deciding whether to require vaccinations or regular coronavirus testing for workers, the next move is up to them.

Many large corporations were silent on Thursday’s ruling by the high court to block a requirement that workers at businesses with at least 100 employees be fully vaccinated or else test regularly for COVID-19 and wear a mask on the job.

...

Dan Simons, co-owner of the Founding Farmers chain of restaurants in the Washington area, said vaccine mandates are “common sense.” He requires his 1,000 employees to be fully vaccinated; those who request an exemption must wear a mask and submit weekly COVID test results.

“If your priority is the economy, or your own health, or the health of others, you would agree with my approach,” Simons said.

...

Labor advocates were dismayed by the ruling.

“This decision will have no impact on most professional and white collar workers, but it will endanger millions of frontline workers who risk their lives daily and who are least able to protect themselves,” said David Michaels, who led OSHA during the Obama administration and now teaches at the George Washington University’s School of Public Health.

For their part, labor unions had been divided all along about Biden’s attempt to create a vaccine mandate,

...

Among 543 U.S. companies surveyed in November by insurance broker and consulting firm Willis Towers Watson, fewer than one in five required vaccination...Jeff Levin-Scherz, an executive in the firm’s health practice, said most companies with mandates will keep them because they are working. He said nothing short of a mandate can get vaccination rates to 90%, and “you really need a very high level of vaccination to prevent community outbreaks.”

Okay then. 80% of companies won't require a jab.

Employees who prefer a forced vaxx work place can choose from the remaining 20%. And I bet that number gets less and less.

And Ol' Dan will pay his young workers a buck two ninety-eight an hour to permanently risk their health on an experimental Clot Shot.

Bet Ol' Dan has a medicine chest full of Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, and no Clot Shot...

All these “learned and important folk” in the article seem to be missing the fact that the quaxxines are impotent against The OMNICROM...

Hilarious gaslighting

Buried in the article they admit only 1 in 5 businesses require “vaccination”

But everyone they quote is upset that the FedGov will not be forcing them to do what they are already doing

IOW most businesses agree....that mandates are not needed

But you wont get that from a cursory reading of this piece of agitprop

For Biden’s attempt to shut down the American economy this is where the rubber meets the road. It’s put up or shut up time. Companies will gamble on whether profits will rise or fall with company requirements to vaccinate. And that’s the way it should be. I’m betting that companies without wholesale customer contact will not force vaccinations.

“endanger millions of frontline workers”

If Ms. Frontline Worker Democrat is endangered, it is almost always because she refused to get vaccinated or boosted.

People have an individual choice to protect themselves well via vaccination against Covid.

“You really do need a high level of vaccination to prevent community outbreaks”

Where in the he!! has this idiot been?! The clot shot neither prevents one from getting the Wuhan Flu nor does it keep one from spreading it.

Least able to protect themselves? Has this guy not counted the number of medical places willing to inject every warm body that walks in the door? How many pop-up "vaccination" clinics there are all over? How can any person not "protect" themselves with these shots if they so choose? How does forcing everyone to get the injection help protect those who can already get as many shots as they want?

That stuff is all my priority, but no I don't agree with you because I'm not also stupid. You're stupid, and a ninny, and a nanny. Basically a CO² machine.

MmmmHmmm. Take another toke, and the booster will seem like common sense.

If every employer recommended taking quercetin, zinc, vitamin D, vitamin C and either hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin will be a long way to be done with this fucking bullshit

Per this article, the Moderna 2-dose VE (vaccine efficacy/percentage reduction in infection rate vs the unvaxxed) against omicron infection was 30.4% (5.0%-49.0%) at 14-90 days and declined quickly to 15.2% (0.0%-30.7%) at 91-180 days and 0.0% after 180 days.

The FDA said the minimum acceptable VE for covid is 50%.

It is stunning, that three lawyers felt that the govt was in the right to make businesses mandate that employees take these shots or get tested.

Make no mistake, the media and the Biden Administration (the same, of course) will use this ruling to create a “Corporate Anti-Vax Enemies List” to do everything at their disposal to sic their dual propaganda and regulatory apparatchiks on companies that don’t “comply.”

You can already see the AssPress cheering for it in this story.

Any company that keeps pushing these VAX mandates on their employees is going to suffer financially. Customers will boycott them and employees will flee from them. Nobody likes a dick.

Nonsense.

They are no more a danger now than they were this time last year when there was no vaccine. And likely they are already immune.

They are doing a phenomenal job completely and fully ignoring and side stepping natural immunity.

They never, ever even mention it, as if the concept does not even exist.
