Judge tosses OK Governor's lawsuit challenging Biden vaccine mandate for National guard troops, pointing out such troops ALREADY have 9 OTHER vaccine requirements, and COVID Has Killed More Americans Than ‘All of the Wars the United States Has Ever Fought’. Judge Denies Challenge of Vaccine Mandate for National Guard: COVID Has Killed More Americans Than ‘All of the Wars the United States Has Ever Fought’ https://lawandcrime.com/covid-19-pa...f-the-wars-the-united-states-has-ever-fought/ A federal judge sided with the Biden administration in a lawsuit filed by Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) over the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for National Guard members. Senior U.S. District Judge Stephen P. Friot, a George W. Bush appointee, appeared to have little patience for the arguments advanced by the Sooner State, as he denied Oklahoma’s motion for a preliminary injunction to block the mandate. Friot rejected the notion that mandated vaccines for COVID-19 are unduly burdensome, pointing out that it “is the one–in addition to the nine that already apply to all service members–intended to protect service members from the virus which has, in less than two years, killed more Americans than have been killed in action in all of the wars the United States has ever fought.” Friot was clear to point out that his ruling is based on “federal law, not common sense,” but that “either way, the result would be the same.” The plaintiffs in the lawsuit were Governor Stitt, Oklahoma Attorney General John M. O’Connor (R), and sixteen anonymous Oklahoma Air National Guard members. Plaintiffs challenged both the federal military vaccine mandate and Executive Order 14043, the vaccine mandate for federal civilian employees. Friot ruled that Oklahoma has no standing to bring the lawsuit on behalf of its citizens, as the federal government is presumed to operate in the interests of all citizens. The court continued, holding that Oklahoma failed to show standing in its own right because “the State has not made a clear showing of how EO 14043 or the military vaccine mandate has caused, or will cause, economic injury to the State.” Rather, reasoned Friot, Oklahoma alleged that it would lose “State tax dollars” when federal employees lose their jobs because they choose not to be vaccinated. Such an injury, that fails to go “beyond sheer speculation,” is insufficient to confer standing, explained Friot. Friot did accept Oklahoma’s argument that it has tangible injury in the form of having insufficient National Guard personnel at the ready. “89 percent of the airmen in the Guard have been vaccinated, while only 40 percent of Army guardsmen have been vaccinated,” noted the judge in his ruling. While this shorthandedness is a sufficient harm to confer standing, the judge noted, it is not one in which the court’s ruling would remedy. “Even if the court were to enjoin defendants from en-forcing EO 14043,” the judge pointed out, “the Guard members remain subject to the separate military vaccination requirement,” the ruling continued. Friot made clear that his ruling was not limited to procedural deficiencies. He wrote: The COVID vaccination mandate should be understood against the backdrop of other military immunization mandates–which date back as far as General George Washington’s mandate that troops in the Continental Army be inoculated against smallpox. Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin is “the highest civilian official having direct responsibility for the readiness of the Nation’s military forces,” and he deemed the vaccination mandate “an essential military readiness requirement for all components and units of the military, including the Oklahoma National Guard.” Friot found “no basis upon which this court might second guess that judgment.” Furthermore, Friot noted, “From day one of the military vaccine mandate, the Guard was included.” Including the National Guard was essential as a part of maintaining “a healthy and ready force.” The vaccine mandate goes to the heart of federal supervision of the military, wrote Friot, writing, “This, in the midst of a global pandemic, goes to the heart of ‘the discipline prescribed by Congress,'” to regulate its military. Judge Friot continued, dismissing Oklahoma’s multiple constitutional arguments, and holding that no public interest would be served by blocking the federal vaccine mandate. He reasoned: [T]he court would be hard-put to find that the public interest would be served by entry of an order prohibiting the implementation of a vaccine mandate which adds one FDA-approved vaccine to the list of nine that all service members are already required to take–that tenth vaccine being the one which has been shown to be remarkably effective in mitigating the effects of the pandemic which has affected millions of Americans, including thousands of service members. Other challenges of Biden administration vaccine mandates for employers are on the Supreme Court’s docket and scheduled for argument in the new year.
GWB, how is that vaccine mandate thingy, mask mandate thingy and conventional treatments will lick the Corona Virus pandemic? Oops, your Usurper-in-Chief just abandoned the fight against Corona Virus after his numerous promises when he was running that he would lick Corona Virus? Now, he says, it is not a Federal problem and the states governors have to deal with it. Wow, just when you think Joe Biden has reached the depths of ineptitude, he just goes down even deeper. The scary part, Joe Biden still has to hit rock bottom in his bottomless pit. In other news, GWB and other ET trolls still clueless while, Corona Virus spreads even on those with booster shots. What are you going to do next idiots? https://www.yahoo.com/gma/us-shatters-covid-case-records-232529112.html
More good news for GWB and other ET trolls, your Usurper-in-Chief, Joe Biden and his crew denied you fools one more promising treatment option. What could go wrong, right guys? Let us wait and see. https://www.yahoo.com/news/maryland-doctor-says-people-apos-022139819.html
I remember several on these boards railing at the unvaxxed medical workers. Wouldn’t go to a hospital that employed the unvaxxed, blah, blah, blah. Hope none if you live in Rhode Island. Rhode Island went from firing unvaccinated health care workers to allowing the COVID-positive to work After implementing a coronavirus mandate for health care workers this fall, Rhode Island has now opened an option for COVID-positive health care workers to continue working if their facility is facing a staffing crisis. https://www.foxnews.com/us/rhode-island-vaccine-mandate-covid-positive-employees-works
Right! I also remember some folks saying that once these mandates were in place and started seeing staffing shortages, they'd have to reverse policy. Hmm.
The depth of your stupid is astounding. You need to see somebody about vascular dementia. My father in law has it and he went from driving a car to getting speeding tickets to no car allowed for him to yestersay we learn he was putting pesticide next to where he feeds the dog and the dog barfing everywhere for a week until his eight year old granddaughter noticed the area smelled of chemicals. Water runoff through God knows what, all disposed of this morning. No more chemicals allowed for him. He loves that dog but his vascular dementia is at the point you are going towards. If somebody is diagnosed as Covid positive but they feel well, in an emergency they can treat people who are confirmed covid positive also. This is basic, basic thinking but you are just farting in the bath and giggling.
Let's check to see how Israel is doing. Y'all know Israel. The alleged gold standard of getting tough with covid measures. And the first to vaccinate the entire population, and with shot after shot after shot. ‘Israel could be completely unprotected against COVID-19 in a month’ - report “Within a month or two, the protection in Israel could be almost back to where it was before vaccines,” reads a report. https://www.jpost.com/health-and-wellness/coronavirus/article-689749
