Vaccination Deadline Sure to Backfire
In yet another maneuver that is sure not to go over well with voters, White House Sets Jan. 4 Shots-or-Tests Deadline for Workers.
OSHA has issued a federal rule mandating Covid-19 vaccinations or at least weekly testing for workers at U.S. companies with 100 or more employees.
The requirement made public by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration on Thursday will take effect Friday when it’s published in the Federal Register. The first compliance deadline for employers—providing time off for workers to get inoculated and ensuring those who aren’t vaccinated are wearing masks—is Dec. 5. Workers must be fully vaccinated by Jan. 4 or submit to testing.
The emergency temporary standard, which OSHA justified by citing the “grave danger” posed by the lingering Coronavirus pandemic, requires covered employers to develop, implement, and enforce a mandatory Covid-19 vaccination policy or a policy requiring employees to choose either to get vaccinated or to undergo regular Covid-19 testing and wear a face covering at work.
It’s one thing for private employers to make rules for their employees and a totally different thing for government to cram down its requirements on businesses.
And I am a firm supporter of the right of companies to set work rules for their employees.
But I am not in favor of government cramming its rules down the throats of every company with 100 employees.
Midtem Disaster
Democrats are already headed for a midterm election disaster.
I fully expect this decision will add to their misery in the House and it may easily cost Democrats the Senate as well.
Finally, there is a very good chance the Supreme Court will strike this OSHA play down further adding to the pain.
Biden is hugely out of touch with political reality as noted in Democrats Take 180 Degree Wrong Message From Elections.
Regardless of what the Supreme Court does, this is a voluntary kick your own ass move.
Thanks for Tuning In!

Or an overwhelming success?
Perhaps we were all fooled into believing it would stop infections with the real end-goal to intentionally allow everyone to get infected and build up a real immunity without overwhelming the hospitals and morgues? Future vaccine side effects a TBD?
Berenson has a big megaphone. He has more than 200,000 followers on Twitter and millions of viewers for his frequent appearances on Fox News’ most-watched shows. On Laura Ingraham’s show, he https://video.foxnews.com/v/6238761250001#sp=show-clips the vaccines, suggesting that Israel’s experience proved they were considerably less effective than initially claimed. On Tucker Carlson Tonight, he https://www.mediamatters.org/coronavirus-covid-19/tucker-carlson-guest-falsely-claims-israels-vaccine-rollout-hasnt-worked-fact that the vaccines would cause an uptick in cases of COVID-related illness and death in the U.S.
The vaccines have inspired his most troubling comments. For the past few weeks on Twitter, Berenson has mischaracterized just about every detail regarding the vaccines to make the dubious case that most people would be better off avoiding them. As his conspiratorial nonsense accelerates toward the pandemic’s finish line, he has proved himself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfCMtaNiMDM:
But now, they’re too full. Even in parts of the country where covid isn’t overwhelming the health system, patients are showing up to the ER sicker than before the pandemic, their diseases more advanced and in need of more complicated care.
Months of treatment delays have exacerbated chronic conditions and worsened symptoms. Doctors and nurses say the severity of illness ranges widely and includes abdominal pain, respiratory problems, blood clots, heart conditions and suicide attempts, among other conditions.
But they can hardly be accommodated. Emergency departments, ideally, are meant to be brief ports in a storm, with patients staying just long enough to be sent home with instructions to follow up with primary care physicians, or sufficiently stabilized to be transferred “upstairs” to inpatient or intensive care units.
Except now those long-term care floors are full too, with a mix of covid and non-covid patients. People coming to the ER get warehoused for hours, even days, forcing ER staffers to perform long-term care roles they weren’t trained to do.

“Comprehensive investigations revealed consistent pathophysiological alterations after vaccination with COVID-19 vaccines”
“Here, we report, besides generation of neutralizing antibodies, consistent alterations in hemoglobin A1c, serum sodium and potassium levels, coagulation profiles, and renal functions in healthy volunteers after vaccination with an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.”

You were in top form last night, a great advocate for not mixing alcohol with meds.
Wonder how many other rulings we should “go back to 1905” to stand behind…
