There's a curious echo here:

* the vaccine trial runners (subscontractors like Ventavia) could not get / did not have enough people to handle the adverse event influx when they started jabbing trial participants

* OSHA will not have enough people to handle even a trickle of reported violations

It was disgusting reading the judgement of a judge here in Victoria, Australia who sentenced a man who "escaped" hotel quarantine to months in prison for "endangering lives" by getting on a tram during his brief stint of freedom - during a lock down (ie very low tram occupancy). My guess is the escapee was asymptomatic and the judge was talking out his ass about things he could not possibly know and that were most likely patently untrue. (Ugh I had to find the article, and it's worse than I remembered: https://www.9news.com.au/national/coronavirus-victoria-nathan-hetherington-jailed-before-melbourne-magistrates-court-for-trying-to-escape-quarantine-at-albert-road-clinic/a744c7f1-589d-4e10-8c9c-f71dea49087c)

22 year old guy, so yeah, most likely a dodgy PCR +ve, but ICE addict so who knows???

My point being: wtf is with the judiciary? I mean, the US has a fantastic constitution compared to the no personal protection we have here in Australia, but it almost appears useless in the light of recent SCOTUS decisions? Constitutional law seems as equally complex as immunology to me.

If we get out of this alive I feel we really need to work on individual protection legislation that is really simple to defend and use.

So in order for a vaccine mandate to occur there should be 3 things in place. First the disease should be so deadly and a threat to healthy citizens, Second there's should be no approved treatments for the viral infection, and third the mandated vaccine should be safe and efficacious at stopping the disease. Not one of these 3 things is actually true.

The lone dissenting opinion is excellent. I love it when people preface "you're an idiot" with "with respect". The main question now is whether scotus will take the case, and if they do, how quickly. The damage grows daily until this is resolved, and probably for a while thereafter. Eventually the response will turn violent. Maybe sanity will return before it gets too bad.

Many corporations will gleefully get on board. They’re thrilled by this appalling decision.

I've read elsewhere (SWC) that since there was a negative vote on the decision, the Sixth Circuit will most likely take on the case en banc. I certainly hope so. Sidebar: only a Corona Karen could have penned such an idiotic decision.
