Asa Hutchinson and Bill de Blasio Spar Over Vaccine Mandates: 'It's Keeping People Alive', Dec 12, 2021:"During the appearance on CNN's State of the Union on Sunday, host Jake Tapper noted the two political leaders' different opinions on the issue, and then turned to Hutchinson.

"New York City has sweeping mandates for workers and businesses and it might sound too sweeping for some people, but 71 percent of residents of New York City are fully vaccinated," Tapper said.

"Arkansas has no mandates and only 50 percent of your residents are fully vaccinated. Does that not show, Governor Hutchinson, that vaccine mandates work?""

Most reported U.S. Omicron cases have hit the fully vaccinated -CDC, December 10, 2021:"The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that of the 43 cases attributed to Omicron variant, 34 people had been fully vaccinated. Fourteen of them had also received a booster, although five of those cases occurred less than 14 days after the additional shot before full protection kicks in. 

While the numbers are very small, they add to growing concerns that current COVID-19 vaccines may offer less protection against the highly transmissible new variant."

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.

Mr. de Blasio said the aggressive measure, which takes effect Dec. 27 and which he described as the first of its kind in the nation, was needed as a “pre-emptive strike” to stall another wave of coronavirus cases and help reduce transmission during the winter months and holiday gatherings."

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 #ThankYouForYourService

 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."
