Quote:The Supreme Court’s ruling against the Biden vaccine mandate for large employers was not only a devastating blow to the administration, but it did major damage to the media’s narrative about Covid vaccines.

The White House on Thursday pivoted to dismiss the Supreme Court ruling as the end of the vaccine mandate and continued to urge major companies to further the administration’s corporatist policies.

“The Supreme Court’s decision on the OSHA mandate essentially means that in this pandemic it is up to individual employers to determine whether their workplaces will be safe for employees,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed. “And whether their business will be safe for consumers.”

“So, President Biden, you will see this in his statement, will be calling on and will continue to call on businesses to immediately join those that have already stepped up, including one-third of Fortune 500 companies,” she continued. “To institute vaccination requirements to protect their workers, protect their customers and communities.”

The White House issued that statement on Thursday evening.

“As a result of the Court’s decision, it is now up to States and individual employers to determine whether to make their workplaces as safe as possible for employees, and whether their businesses will be safe for consumers during this pandemic by requiring employees to take the simple and effective step of getting vaccinated,” the president said in a statement.

He added that the Supreme Court ruling “does not stop me from using my voice as President to advocate for employers to do the right thing to protect Americans’ health and economy.”

“I call on business leaders to immediately join those who have already stepped up – including one third of Fortune 100 companies – and institute vaccination requirements to protect their workers, customers, and communities,” Biden said.

Except that major corporations are already deciding that they do not want to continue to run the best and brightest out of their industries, while continuing to wreak major unnecessary disruption in their companies.

General Electric Co on Friday said “it has suspended COVID-19 vaccine or test requirement for employees after the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling,” Reuters reported.

In December, numerous companies suspended their vaccine mandates during a lower court’s stay pending the Supreme Court’s decision.

“A growing number of health care systems and other companies, including Amtrak and General Electric, are suspending mandates that require employees to be vaccinated against Covid-19,” NBC reported.

“Most employers do not have the luxury of losing 5 percent or 10 percent or whatever percent of their workforce doesn’t want to get vaccinated,” said Barron, who works with the law firm Cozen O’Connor. “In this environment, it’s very tough, especially in jobs like health care or other industries where it’s a very tight labor market.”

Quote:most EVERY major company will dump its requirement for mandatory vaccination. You want to know why? Because the government mandate gave the companies cover for any liability that might arise from requiring the vaccine. With no government mandate---the liability for those adverse reactions---or long term potential negative effects that we dont even know about yet---potentially falls on the company that required the vaccination

We carry over the 100 because of multiple offices, but they went out of their way to say "We're not telling you you have to vaccinate, but just be cautious and use general decent habits if you don't".

Funny thing is I Think our HR dept was expecting the mandate to survive the court challenge this week, despite warnings from other depts, cause they sent out a reminder about "how to go get your vaccinations and boosters" the day before the oral arguments..

Before its over---most EVERY major company will dump its requirement for mandatory vaccination. You want to know why? Because the government mandate gave the companies cover for any liability that might arise from requiring the vaccine. With no government mandate---the liability for those adverse reactions---or long term potential negative effects that we dont even know about yet---potentially falls on the company that required the vaccination. The vaccine makers are working under a emergency use approval---so their liability is near zero---but if you are forcing workers--who dont want to take it--to get vaccinated---and using termination as a tool to gain compliance---then the company could easily find itself in the cross hairs of a future liability lawsuit.

He doesn’t care about anyone but himself. How about all those empty chairs around the dinner table Joe? Liar should be engraved on his tombstone. Malarkey is his response to folks struggling with inflation. As hundreds of thousands are evicted this week HE will simply place blame elsewhere because it’s not him being evicted. The guy is a bought and paid for political hack. Nothing more.

3 more years of incompetent inept leadership will undoubtedly do irreparable harm to this country that will take decades to overcome if ever.

Thanks to all the clowns who cast their vote for him leading us to the brink.

I work for a Fortune 500 company that requires a vaccine or frequent testing. Both groups have individuals that tested positive for Covid. 40-50% of our workforce has been absent this week due to Covid.
