This administrations knows full well many will not abide by their bully tactics. And they are ready and anxious to help these employers replace freedom loving Americans with the tens of thousands of illegal aliens and un-vetted afghani's fill these high paying jobs. Thus destroying this country.

It has to be a line in the sand time in our history folks. It really does. If you want a country that your kids can prosper in. You best stop this non-sense very soon.

FDA Says No Need For Boosters As Moderna, J&J Plead Case

After a detailed review, the FDA's scientists have decided to hold off on approving Moderna's vaccine for a booster jab, the latest bad news for the company's bottom line. Documents published Tuesday show that Moderna's two-dose vaccine course generates enough immunity from the virus and the delta variant that a third dose is "unnecessary".

The decision creates the possibility that the agency could approve Pfizer for a booster jab but not Moderna.

This situation creates a moral hazard for these drug companies:

1. If a version is indeed effective, then no booster is required. Ergo, lower revenue.

2. if a version is not as effective, infinite boosters are required. Ergo, higher revenue.

Whatever happened to all the variants that were going to kill us all more deader than the previous variant?

It seems that the news cycle doesn't have much to say about that anymore.

Jen Psaki: Biden Wants to Use Pandemic to ‘Make Fundamental Change in Our Economy’

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki proudly declared on Tuesday that Joe Biden is using the pandemic to inflict “fundamental change” on the American economy.

When asked during the White House press briefing whether some programs in Biden’s $4.5 trillion budget proposal should get cut, Psaki rejected the notion, asserting that the pandemic was the perfect opportunity for Democrats to exploit the pandemic.

“The president wants to make fundamental change in our economy and he feels coming out of the pandemic is exactly the time to do that,” Psaki told reporters.

“If we don’t do it now, if we don’t address the cost of childcare… if we don’t address the climate crisis, if we don’t ensure that universal pre-K is a reality now, we’re not going to have the same opportunity to do it for some time,” she added.

Now, a year after promising to end the pandemic, Biden is using the ongoing crisis to inflict a grotesquely bloated budget on the American people.

During the same press briefing, claimed that the vaccine mandates—that are causing staff shortages in multiple industries—are “good for the economy.” She went on to ridicule allegations that the “little hubbub” over the weekend at Southwest Airlines was about the regime’s draconian vaccine mandates.

“I know there was a little hubbub... about Southwest airlines. We now know that some of those claims were absolutely false and actually the issues were completely unrelated to vaccine mandates.”

The lack of availability means vaccine mandates based on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval are unlawful, lawyers representing clients challenging the requirements say.

Well this is the point I'm raising with people at my present company. It was stated that [paraphrasing], "Once the FDA has an APPROVED vaccine, employees will be required to take it or be terminated by [insert date]". OK...so the FDA-approved vaccine is Comirnaty. That particular vaccine IS NOT EVEN AVAILABLE in the United States. So tell me how, in the name of ZEUS' BUTTHOLE, can a company terminate people for not taking a "vaccine" that's not even available on the market?!?!???? JSMH...

Nope.
Just lets you know the mandates aren't really about 'health', they are only about control.

Guess Which Fortune 50 Company Won't Make Employees Get Vaccinated?

By Alex Berenson
Unreported Truths

Hint: It’s arguably the most science-driven of all.

Intel.



Not only that, vaccinated employees cannot say they do not want to work with unvaccinated employees. (Policy 8.4)

Not only that, Intel FORBIDS managers from asking for vaccination status. (Policy 8.13)

Not only that, Intel ACCEPTS antibodies as a full substitute for vaccination for people who must quarantine after a Covid exposure or for travel requirements. (Policy 1.2)

True story.

Judge Orders United Airlines Not to Put Workers Seeking Vaccine Mandate Exception on Leave

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...Il9smtzw5Ft6EPa7R10s

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered United Airlines not to place workers seeking an exemption to the company’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate on unpaid leave.

The temporary ruling was issued by U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman so workers who filed for an exemption aren’t unduly harmed before he can hear oral arguments in the case.

Six United workers sued the company last month over its plans to put on leave any employees who requested religious or medical exemptions. The suit said the employees were effectively told they’d be terminated if they sought exemptions and alleged that the company was violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA.

“United’s actions have left Plaintiffs with the impossible choice of either taking the COVID-19 vaccine, at the expense of their religious beliefs and their health, or losing their livelihoods. In doing so, United has violated Title VII and the ADA by failing to engage in the interactive process and provide reasonable accommodations, and also by retaliating against employees who engaged in protected activity,” the suit states.

United and the plaintiffs reached an agreement that the company would not place exempted employees on leave during a Sept. 24 hearing, Pittman said, obviating the need for an immediate ruling. He planned to hear arguments on a motion for a preliminary injunction on Oct. 8 but United the day before the hearing filed a partial motion to dismiss, alleging the court lacked jurisdiction over some of the claims.

The hearing was reset to Oct. 13. Ahead of the arguments, Pittman said he concluded it was necessary to issue a temporary restraining order that is effective through Oct. 31.

Absent entry of the order, “the parties’ stipulation will expire before the Court can rule on whether a preliminary injunction is warranted,” the Trump nominee wrote.

“If the parties’ stipulation were to expire without temporary injunctive relief in place, nothing would prevent hundreds of workers from ostensibly either: (1) being compelled to take a vaccination in violation of their religious beliefs or medical restrictions, or (2) being placed on indefinite unpaid leave by United,” he added.

United said earlier this month that 320 workers in the United States, or 0.5 percent of the U.S. workforce, were not in compliance with its COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

United told news outlets after Pittman’s order that “vaccine requirements work and nearly all of United’s U.S. employees have chosen to get a shot.”

“For a number of our employees who were approved for an accommodation, we’re working to put options in place that reduce the risk to their health and safety, including new testing regimens, temporary job reassignments, and masking protocols,” the airline said.

Mark Paoletta, an attorney representing the plaintiffs, told The Epoch Times in an email that United’s “refusal to provide reasonable accommodations to its vaccine mandate violates the federal civil rights protections of our clients, the hard working men and women at United,” adding, “We look forward to our clients’ rights being permanently protected.”

I’m chatting with an Intel employee now. He verified that there’s no requirement yet, but they are not recognizing antibody tests as a vaccination substitute. That was discussed in a conference call.

Report – OSHA Sends Worker Vaccine Mandate Rule to White House for Review

Several news outlets (Bloomberg below) are noting the Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), has submitted the worker vaccine rule to the White House for review prior to publishing as an ’emergency temporary standard’.

While this may be seen as disappointing by many, the moment the rule hits the federal register, it will be subject to lawsuits before implementation. Until the DoL/OSHA rule hits the books, the mandate is nothing except a statement of intent.

Once the emergency rule is put into the register, then various state attorneys general and private sector employers or employees will be able to seek injunctions and challenge the legality. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis stated yesterday his legal team is awaiting the rule to be published to trigger his state’s legal challenge.

(Bloomberg) […] The standard implements the president’s Sept. 9 order for a regulation requiring businesses with at least 100 employees to mandate workers get fully vaccinated or be tested weekly for Covid-19. Biden also asked for the rule to provide paid time off for workers to get vaccinated and to recover from any side effects.

An emergency standard bypasses what is normally a years-long regulatory process. To do so, OSHA must establish that the vaccination or testing requirement was necessary to protect workers from a “grave danger.”

“The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has been working expeditiously to develop an emergency temporary standard that covers employers with 100 or more employees to ensure their workers are fully vaccinated or undergo weekly testing to protect employees from the spread of coronavirus in the workplace,” a DOL spokesperson said in an email. “On Tuesday, October 12, as part of the regulatory review process, the agency submitted the initial text of the emergency temporary standard to the Office of Management and Budget.”
