Vaccine mandate challenge reveals deep divides in the Supreme Court - PBS NewsHour

[Rhiannon12866]

The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday heard lengthy arguments challenging the Biden administration's vaccine and testing requirements in the workplace. The rules at stake are at the heart of the government's pandemic response and could have significant implications for roughly 100 million workers. As with all issues surrounding the pandemic and vaccines, they spark strong opinions. John Yang reports.

1. The wealthy and powerful GOP elite are all vaccinated.

They just don't want the regular folk to do the same.

2. The thing is, the fewer who are vaccinated, the more it spreads and the more get sick and die

Why that doesn't get through to these idiots is a mystery to me. They're putting themselves - and their families (especially young kids) - in danger despite their being vaccinated.

3. They are confident about getting the best treatment and prevention.

They send their children to private schools where masks are required.
Or hire a nanny to do home schooling.

Private boutique physicians and latest treatments are no problem.
Private round the clock nurses, home visits by doctors.

They don't really live the same way the rest of us live.

4. That's true, the anti-maskers like Cruz and DeSantis send their kids to schools with mask mandates

5. Of course they do. The highest level of safety and protection money can buy.

The rest of the population is totally expendable.

6. I just don't get it

I am forced to buy car insurance.
I am forced to educate my kids
I am forced to vaccinate my kids.
My company says I can't smoke pot or drink on the job or use nicotine.
Why can't I drink and drive. I will go slow. I promise.
But getting a vaccination for COVID is the step to far. Bunch of wack jobs.

7. Excellent point. It's a matter of national safety.

A friend of mine returned to college a few years ago and was required to get the MMR vaccine before she could attend classes. There was no controversy, just something you did, vaccines have always been required to attend school. But then this was before TFG.
