New York City sets sweeping vaccine mandate for all private employers, Dec 6, 2021:"Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a sweeping coronavirus vaccine mandate for all private employers in New York City on Monday morning to combat the spread of the Omicron variant.

Manchin backs GOP-led effort to overturn Biden’s vaccine mandate for private employers, Dec 3, 2021:"“I do not support any government vaccine mandate on private businesses,” he said. “That’s why I have cosponsored and will strongly support a bill to overturn the federal government vaccine mandate for private businesses.”
Mr. Manchin argued that while he supported every American getting vaccinated against the coronavirus, it was inappropriate for the federal government to make demands of private employers."

Gov. Kay Ivey warns Biden, OSHA vaccine mandate could create 'economic damage' in Alabama:"While voicing her opposition to the vaccine mandate, which is facing numerous court battles, Ivey urged OSHA to discontinue the mandate "sooner, rather than later" as it increases "vaccine skepticism in Alabama" and continues to "disrupt the State's economy."
She also stated she believes a final standard based on the ETS could be "harmful to businesses in Alabama" as "significant percentages of Alabama's workforce have not received at least one dose" of the vaccine."

WHO: Omicron in 38 Countries, No Deaths Reported, December 3, 2021:"No deaths have been reported so far in connection to the COVID-19 strain, another WHO spokesperson told reporters Friday.
“There is a suggestion that there is increased transmissibility, what we need to understand is if it’s more or less transmissible compared to Delta,” Van Kerkhove said. The Delta variant is the dominant strain throughout the world, she said."

Vaccine holdouts in Navy, Marines hit 19,000 as deadline passes to comply with mandate, Dec 3, 2021:"As many as 19,000 active-duty Marines and Navy sailors chose not to get vaccinated against the coronavirus by their shared Nov. 28 deadline, a dilemma for military leaders who have threatened to expel personnel refusing to comply with the Biden administration’s mandate.
In both services, the number of holdouts is around 9,500, according to official counts. And while the Marines’ margin of 5 percent unvaccinated had been anticipated, it was an unexpected outcome for the Navy, which in announcing its final tally this week acknowledged that officials had uncovered last-minute “discrepancies” with its data-tracking system that revealed a larger pool of unvaccinated sailors than had been projected. As recently as last week, official data showed that 99.8 percent of sailors had at least one shot by last Sunday’s deadline. The true number is just over 97 percent. These personnel now join more than 8,000 in the Air Force who declined to get vaccinated." https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2021/12/03/vaccine-mandate-navy-marines/ #Army #Navy #AirForce #Marines #SpaceForce #HoldTheLine #MedicalFreedom #NurseUp #StopTheMandates #Unvaccinated #Vaccinated #VaccineMandates #Covid19Vaccines #ThankYouForYourServiceSaturday, December 4, 2021
Governor’s (Arkansas) middle ground on the vaccine mandate, Nov 10, 2021:"Hutchinson said the current situation puts employers in a difficult situation of choosing between obeying a state law (which doesn’t include penalties) and obeying a federal rule with fines of up to $13,600 per violation. Federal law, as he noted in a media briefing Thursday, trumps state law. On the other hand, the state law will go into effect in January, while the federal mandate is tied up in court. So whose law do businesses violate? He suspects many will take a wait-and-see approach."

Losing your job because of vaccine mandates? You can collect unemployment benefits in these states (Florida, Iowa, Tennessee), December 3, 2021:"Only a few months after terminating federal pandemic unemployment benefits early, several GOP-led states are now expanding jobless payments to a different group of people affected by Covid-19: unvaccinated residents who are losing their jobs due to vaccine mandates.
At least three red states -- Iowa, Tennessee and Florida -- have recently passed laws extending eligibility to these folks as part of broader measures restricting employer vaccine mandates."
