Alaska Governor orders state agencies to ignore federal vaccine mandates, Nov 3, 2021:"Though the state of Alaska currently has the highest rate of COVID-19 cases in the country, Governor Mike Dunleavy is focusing on fighting federal vaccine mandates.
Dunleavy signed an administrative order Tuesday that prohibits all state agencies from participating in or assisting with federal vaccine mandates for employers.

Alaska Joins Case to Stop CMS Vaccine Mandate, November 10, 2021:"“This new rule is an insult to the personal freedoms of the health-care heroes who have been critical to Alaska’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy. “This is unconstitutional and yet another example of the Biden Administration’s overreach on issues that should be left to the states.”
Alaska Attorney General Treg Taylor and attorneys general from nine other states filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. The plaintiffs seek an injunction to prohibit CMS from enforcing the mandate on grounds that the rule violates the 10th Amendment, the federal Administrative Procedures Act and other federal laws."

Did Kathy Hochul's Vaccine Mandates Backfire in New York?

Love how they comment that they comprise "just 3%" of the workforce. Apparently they are being missed.
Upstate New York Hospitals Are Overwhelmed as Covid Cases Surge:"The state estimates that 33,000 health care workers, or just 3 percent of New York’s overall health care work force, left their jobs because of the vaccine mandate, which does not allow for testing in lieu of vaccination or religious exemptions. But because the sector as a whole was already short staffed, the additional job losses have hit hard. Ms. Hochul is being cautious about imposing additional mandates in other areas in light of the experience, she said Thursday at a news conference."

“In Kansas, an employee’s religious faith may not be put on trial in order to obtain the waiver to which the employee is entitled by law. It is particularly distressing when a public-sector employer, an agent of the government, sits in judgment of the sincerity of an employee’s religious faith. Under the new law now in effect, that is not only distressing, it is also illegal.”"

Gov. Kathy Hochul orders halt on elective surgery amid COVID spike, Omicron, November 26, 2021:"Gov. Kathy Hochul signed an executive order Friday to postpone elective hospital surgeries — something that hasn’t been done since the worst of the initial coronavirus outbreak last year.
Hochul said she made the move to deal with staffing shortages and boost bed capacity amid an anticipated “spike” in new cases and the emergence of the new Omicron variant in South Africa. The strain is named after a letter of the Greek alphabet."

What OSHA's suspension of implementing Biden's vaccine mandate means for employers, November 23, 2021:"Putting the brakes on this process sends a signal that the mandate may never take effect, said John Balitis, chairman of the Labor & Employment Department at Jennings, Strouss & Salmon PLC law firm in Phoenix.
The mandate, which is embodied in an Emergency Temporary Standard developed at Biden's direction, is a vulnerable measure, given OSHA's historical track record with Emergency Temporary Standards, Balitis said."

When the mandates are shot down, is this what we can expect next to address #VaccineHesitancy?
Rather than mandate vaccines, businesses should make it painful to resist COVID vaccination:"COVID-19 vaccination rates remain too low because we are going about this all wrong.
Rather than urge people to get vaccinated or mandate vaccines, a better approach is to require the unvaccinated to bear extra costs.
As businesses take the lead in implementing vaccine policies, their leaders can look to a successful model for urging people to get vaccinated. That is the way companies handle smoking."

The judge is expected to rule about a week after that response. The lawsuit was first filed on November 10, and this expedited process recognizes the urgency of the timelines created by this vaccine mandate."

The rule was released by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration on Nov. 5 and requires private businesses with more than 100 employees to ensure workers are either vaccinated or tested weekly for COVID-19, beginning Jan. 4. The random selection of the 6th Circuit could mean good news for challengers to the mandate, as 11 of the 16 full-time judges at the appellate court were appointed by Republican presidents."

St Luke’s Staffing Falling Short – Mandate is a Factor, October 19, 2021:"Vaccine mandates are impacting staff numbers
Neonatal intensive care nurse Kelly Rule was told by St. Luke’s that she needed to be “vaccinated” or be terminated. Choosing to not receive the injection, Rule worked up to the deadline, and then on Sept. 16 she handed over her St. Luke’s badge to Human Resources and her St. Luke’s email was turned off.
In a strange turn of events, after she was terminated and after the state’s “crisis standards” were activated, Rule received text messages from St. Luke’s saying she was being written up for a “no call – no show,” and they wanted to know why she had missed her shift and had not responded to the emails telling her to come in to work."

"American Council of Life Insurers (ACLI) Senior Vice President, Policy Development Paul Graham issued the following statement on social media misinformation relating to COVID-19 vaccines:
“A social media post appears to be behind the spread of entirely false information, suggesting a COVID-19 vaccine could be a factor a life insurer considers in the claims-paying process.
“The fact is that life insurers do not consider whether or not a policyholder has received a COVID vaccine when deciding whether to pay a claim.
“Life insurance policy contracts are very clear on how policies work, and what cause, if any, might lead to the denial of a benefit. A vaccine for COVID-19 is not one of them. "

Courts Clash Over Religious Exemptions for Vaccine Mandates:"Conflicting court rulings about Covid-19 vaccine mandates for health-care workers in Maine and New York could lead the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider its stance on what freedom of religion means for employees.
The two states both tried to mandate the shot for health-care workers without giving them the option to bow out due to their religious beliefs. A federal judge in Maine allowed the state to move forward without offering employees an exemption, while a district judge in New York extended an order that temporarily blocked the state from enforcing the mandate for workers with religious exemptions."

#Covid19Vaccines, what did clinical trials so far evaluate? Ability to prevent infection, transmission to others? No, just "prevention of severe disease" unfortunately, but future trials are looking to assess those and other "endpoints." Standardizing Clinical Endpoints for COVID-19 Vaccine Efficacy Trials:"According to the authors, while prevention of severe COVID-19 is an important and expected benefit of a vaccine, the broader encompassing endpoint of symptomatic COVID-19 disease is needed because severe cases are a relatively small proportion of cases overall and vary widely based on other factors. The statistical power to show adequate efficacy against severe cases may be lower than what is needed in non-severe cases." https://www.infectiousdiseaseadvisor.com/home/topics/covid19/consistent-coronavirus-vaccine-trial-endpoints-help-facilitate-meta-analyses/
