^^^ It's another big step in the right direction.

Unfortunately,
–many already succumbed to the threat
–many still face private employer mandate not due to federal mandate
–many still face local gov’t mandates (NYC for ex.)
–many schools have mandates

Federal Court Blocks Another Biden Vaccine Mandate, This One Demanding That Federal Contractors Get the Jab

The judge ruled that the grant by Congress to the Executive of authority to procure goods and services obviously did not include the power to force people to get vaccinations against their will.

A federal judge in Georgia issued a nationwide injunction that prevents the U.S. government from enforcing a COVID-19 vaccine mandate on federal contractors, temporarily shutting down the last remaining vaccine requirement by the Biden administration.

U.S. District Judge Stan Baker in Savannah, Georgia, said Congress did not clearly authorize the president to use procurement to impose a vaccine requirement on contractors that will have "vast economic and political significance."

The lawsuit was filed by the states of Georgia, Alabama, Indiana, Kansas, South Carolina, Utah and West Virginia as well as a trade group for contractors.

The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Good - now companies can't hide behind the faux Federal mandates. If you want to say FU to your employees, you have to own it and live with the consequences without anyone else to blame it on.

And just think of all the companies that are now going to advertise that they are “no vaccine required“ now to hire people!

All these companies are going to fall over themselves trying to distance themselves from these mandates, you watch

Since the fed mandate is eliminated does this mean that if an employer continues to force the issue they can be held liable for every single medical problem that results?

It just occured to me. The Gov't came out with a random date of December 6th to have all employees vaccinated. And on Dec 7th a nationwide injunction is put in place.

It wasn’t a “random date”

It was 90 days from the day Biden signed the EO

Impactful Video Showcases Hollywood Vaccine Propaganda as Contrast Against Adverse Vaccine Outcomes

“Something is not right“… There’s a website tracking professional sports figures worldwide who have died or been seriously injured by the vaccine. Each instance is cited and recorded and the total number of professional athletes –just this year– who have died or suffered serious vaccine injury is now almost 300 [DATA LINK]

In a similar effort a video has been created to remind everyone how much propaganda effort was put forth as a result of collaboration between the U.S. government and Hollywood [much of this I had never seen]. {Direct Rumble Link Here} The vaccine push is then contrast against the mounting examples of serious injury from the vaccine. The final video is quite powerful. WATCH:

How to open the eyes of anyone who still thinks Covid vaccines are working as promised

Alex Berenson

Let’s say you wind up talking about the vaccine. (I know, what are the odds?)

And let’s say the folks you’re talking to are not crazy vaccine fanatics who think the only problem with Australia’s interment camps is that they don’t go far enough. They’re reasonable people. Maybe they’ve even been vaccinated and are not sure about boosters, or what to do about their kids.

They’ve heard nearly all Covid deaths in Britain are in vaccinated people. But they’ve also heard about the Centers for Disease Control report that the unvaccinated are at much higher risk. They’ve heard about the new variant too, of course.

So many numbers. So much science! And despite the last 20 months, they still believe the public health authorities wouldn’t exaggerate the threat of Covid or manipulate data to scare them.

They are legitimately confused. And you have about five minutes before halftime is over to help them understand the truth.

What do you do?

First, don’t talk about all-cause mortality. We don’t know yet what’s driving that (though I have some upsetting charts to drop soon), and it’s just too weird and scary for most people to consider.

Second, don’t overwhelm them with detail. Marek’s disease, antibody-dependent-enhancement risk, healthy vaccine user bias, age stratification, clinical trial design manipulation, unadjusted confounders, declining titers, B-cell maturation, booster schedules, anti-idiotype antibodies, spike protein migration, vaccine induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia - don’t go there.

Even trying to explain that the CDC changed the definition of a vaccine - and yes, the CDC sure did change the definition of a vaccine - may be tough.

Instead, try one simple question. The simplest possible. The public health equivalent of Ronald Reagan’s, Are you better off today than you were four years ago?

The question is this: If the vaccines work, what’s going on?

Remind them: We are almost a year into mass vaccination campaigns. Even before they began, public health experts and media and politicians explicitly and repeatedly promised that vaccines would end the epidemic if enough people took them.

Now the United States and especially Europe have vaccinated vast numbers of their citizens with mRNA and DNA vaccines that appeared hugely effective in clinical trials. In many European countries, over 90 percent of all adults are vaccinated.

Yet not only has Covid not disappeared, many of those same countries, like Denmark, are now seeing record levels of infections.

And deaths are soaring too - deaths in Germany trail only last winter’s peak.

The truly sad thing in all of this is the fact that the data is there for all to see. Numbers don’t lie, just our media and leftist political trash leaders. Even more distressing are the numbers of reasonably intelligent people that admit that natural immunity from recovery vastly trumps the “vaccine”, and yet voluntarily go out and get boosters.

Some do it to keep their jobs. Some do it to reduce symptom severity (that is not what a vaccine is supposed to do; it’s what over the counter cold medications do), and some still labor under the false notion that “vaccination” will someday put an end to this nightmare. Meanwhile, having recently recovered from the bad cold, I mean Covid, like to point out that my body is incapable of harboring the virus. My natural immunity blows any of the “vaccines” out of the water. And to this, my more intelligent “vaccinated” friends agree. All while resigning themselves to getting boosters in a timely fashion so they get “less sick”. Madness.

It is madness. The whole damn thing. I wish I could live long enough to find out exactly what Fauci, Gates, all of them, had in mind with this virus and "vaccines".

And that is NOT conspiracy theory. They wargamed a pandemic in October 2019. What did they know, or have planned? Regards 18DAI

Well, I was going to join a local doom/sludge metal band (metal but real slow), and it was going great until I got covid. First question, of course, was “are you vaccinated?” I’m not, and lost three new friends real quick like. Sucks, they were nice guys aside from the idealogical problem. We were going to go on tour this coming summer. Bucket list item with a pen mark next to it.

Flying to Albany in a few hours with my mother. Going to pick up my father’s ashes and was going to see about getting some lunch with my sister before we drive up to the family home. I quote: “I’d love to spend time with you, but I’m not at all comfortable being indoors and/or unmasked with either of you. It may be 14 days from symptoms starting, but the virus is evolving, and I’m not going to risk it since I’m pregnant. We could spend time outside masked, but the weather doesn’t look great.”

So, I’m going to send her a text to leave the ashes on the doorstep, we’ll drop off the junior hockey set I brought for her unborn son, and leave with the ashes. She need not risk even waving hello through the window, lest Covid be transmissible through double pane glass. After all, the virus is evolving.

That sucks, Smudge. It's too bad the virus is evolving.... but the propaganda continues to trump the science. Your natural immunity provides more protection than their injected immunity. They are safer from you now than if you had been injected. But they won't know or understand.

Well, The Atlantic has settled the question. This week, the magazine raised the question all the pro-vaxxers are fretting about in a story headlined, “Is It Safe to Hang Out With the Unboosted?”

Oh man, I wish they wouldn’t make me laugh so hard.

The subhead reads, “How to make everyday risk assessments when there are many shades of what it means to be vaccinated.” Many shades! Just like the color of people’s skins! You see what this means, right? Yep. More invidious structural racism on the left.

You see, things are starting to get complicated for pro-vaxxers. The Atlantic explains to its fretful readers that “what it means to be vaccinated encompasses much more variety [now.]” Variety! In case you weren’t keeping up with current events, the magazine explains to its audience how confusing things are now: “some people who have gotten their initial doses haven’t gotten a booster dose, and some people mixed and matched the brands of their first shots and their booster. What’s more, everyone is on their own personal timeline, depending on when they got their shots.”

Whew. It’s getting hard to be a pro-vaxxer.

I know what to do! We need an app! An app to tell you if its safe to hang out with your friend! You can’t do it yourself. “Because of boosters,” the Atlantic explains, “the term ‘fully vaccinated’ doesn’t indicate as much about someone’s vaccination history as it used to.” Waning injection efficacy “adds another element of complexity: Some ‘fully vaccinated’ people might abruptly revert back to the category of partially vaccinated.”

Abruptly! In other words, you could be right in the middle of dinner, about to snake another grilled asparagus down into the feeding hole, when BLAMM, your friend suddenly stops qualifying as fully vaccinated anymore. How do you handle that awkward social faux pas without choking on a fig-glazed duck wing?

Furthermore, the Atlantic warns its readers that things are going to get worse: “Indeed, as complicated as vaccination statuses are now, they might become even more complicated in the future.” You see, if people end up needing a new TYPE of vaccine — because of Omicron — it’s going to get super busy all up in here: “people’s vaccine sequences would be even more varied: Some would be getting their fourth shot, while others would get an Omicron-specific dose as their first.”

My goodness. How do these folks navigate day to day life? Can you imagine walking around, obsessing about this kind of stuff?

Anyway, it gets better. After the headline went viral, the Atlantic defended their choice of language in a strongly-worded update. By which I mean, they sneakily edited the headline without telling anybody and changed it to “How to Socialize Safely in the Booster Era.”

Nothing says you meant it like stealth-editing your story after catching flak on the internet.
