Yeah there's really not a lot to be said about this stuff anymore. I was in a restaurant last night - a kind and well mannered 25 year old male was yammering on about how the face mask mandates are all about "control" and that he's not going to be one of the "sheeple." Then when addressed by staff was just polite as hell. It was very jarring.

I understand the frustration about mask wearing when it comes to sitting vs walking around in a restaurant (seems idiotic to me but whatever) but I don't think that's about control....it's our institutions struggling to address the issue. That should be a concern for all as well...

the question is, "can the federal government put standards on federal contractors?" i think this question has been answered many times already with a yes. there's plenty of legislation that allows the government to put standards on federal contractors. wages to discrimination to yes, health standards.

i wouldn't make much of this

You know, in the early days of vaccination campaigns, you can at least forgive people for being skeptical of big pharma, and particularly a new technology that most have not ever interacted with.

But at this point, how many billions have been vaccinated with so very little side effects or damage?

As for the lawsuit itself, I think Galt is correct. I don't see how the government cannot mandate vaccines for its own employees.

Entirely political. If trump had been re-elected the vaccination rate would be double-digit percentages higher. They'd be calling the vaccine a "Freedom Jab" and getting little American flags tattooed on their injection sites.

Maybe....or it would've had the inverted result where the Dems are more hesitant because it was rolled out too quickly and they don't trust the government under Trump to create a vaccine without potential health complications. Then the MSM would capture every case of myocarditis and televise it around the globe 24/7.

I could see that. Easily.

who the f**k has their own doctor? i call and get appointment with next available and always have. oh, and i'm autistically vaccinated

there are many people who hate the educated class. they hate what David Brooks calls the Bohemian Bourgeoisie. you know the people (like me) who are all about meritocracy and then also stack the deck in their children's favor but also say it's all meritocracy? the people running everything in our lives, the tech people? the people who have control of our media in all forms and everything about life frankly?

my aunt -- thank satan she won't be there for christmas as my mom has decided no vaccine means no invite -- hates educated people. which is our entire family. my mother has a doctorate in education. usually we have to listen to this woman talk about what a waste of time education is. i don't understand why she's ever f**k invited she's so f**k annoying. her husband is just drunk all the time -- he threatened, while armed and tanked, to shoot my ex wife many years ago -- and he's bad enough but the worst person is my aunt. instead of listening to people with educations they put tinctures or whatever on their joints to cure cancer or whatever f**k moronic shit like that. my family all jokes that their bodies are temples (my uncle weighs at least 350 and my aunt chain smokes) and that's why they won't dare touch vaccines to sully those pristine specimens of humanity

the issue isn't that they don't have "their doctor" it is that they distrust the entirety of people who are smarter than them, which is the overwhelming majority of the nation

ANYWAY

I think it's hilarious that the republicans have gone completely insane over this and are now giving out unemployment benefits to people that have been fired for cause or quit of their own volition if they claim it's because of the vaccine. party of welfare queens
