Recently on January 13th—the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Biden administration cannot enforce a requirement for employees at large businesses to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or undergo weekly testing and wear a mask on the job. (apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-business-health-eb5899ae1fe5b62b6f4d51f54a3cd375)
The Supreme Court’s conservative majority concluded that the administration overstepped its authority by seeking to impose Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA’s) vaccine-or-test rule on U.S. businesses with at least 100 employees.
More than 80 million people would have been affected.
However, the court is allowing the administration to proceed with a vaccine mandate for most health care workers in the U.S.
There is an undeniable tension felt across the nation between vaccinated and unvaccinated people.
As the Omicron variant of COVID-19 produces a spike in cases nationwide, about three-quarters of Americans are already vaccinated against the coronavirus, and two-thirds of those have gotten booster shots.
Federal, state and private mandates have created difficult situations. (www.foxnews.com/politics/vaccine-mandates-us-vulnerable-omicron-surge)
If workers in some businesses, industries or branches of the military did not comply with mandates to get vaccinated by a certain deadline in order to combat the spread of COVID-19, then they have been let go or discharged.
Due to this reason, these businesses, industries and military branches have struggled dealing with the loss of certain personnel.
We have also witnessed employers trying to handle the lack of employees and existing employees testing positive for coronavirus and/or becoming very ill with the virus.
Mask and vaccine mandates have helped reduce the number of positive cases somewhat, but we haven’t seen them become a definite solution towards completely absolving coronavirus.
Why is AFA against vaccine mandates?
To clarify, AFA is not against the vaccine itself; they are against the mandates.
Every employee has a sacred right of conscience.
