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."

Schelp of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri issued an order requiring the federal government to respond by Monday, November 22 to the lawsuit of Nebraska (and states joining) challenging the Biden Administration’s vaccine mandate for healthcare workers.

 Attorney General (Nebraska) Provides Up-to-Date Information on Lawsuit Against Health Worker Vaccine Mandate, 

November 19, 2021:"With devastating irony, the CMS vaccine mandate will undermine this purpose by forcing healthcare providers to lay off essential clinical employees, including a significant number of registered nurses who are already incredibly in short supply. All of this will severely limit services, reduce the number of staffed hospital beds, and force patients to potentially travel hundreds of miles further for medical care."

Employers could face $1 million in damages if mandated medications cause harm, November 12:"“Many Oklahomans may not know that COVID-19 vaccines have already been given liability protection from the federal government,” Standridge said. “If an employee is required to receive the vaccine or some other medical treatment as a condition of employment and it causes that person harm, our citizens need to know they’ll have some recourse that will provide them with meaningful relief. That’s what my legislation will do.”"

Biden's vaccine mandate (OSHA) to go before Cincinnati-based Court of Appeals, November 17, 2021:"The legal battle over President Joe Biden's federal vaccine-or-test mandate will be heard before the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals following a lottery drawing by a federal judicial panel.

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."
