At the same time, the court is allowing the administration to proceed with a vaccine mandate for most health care workers in the U.S.
“OSHA has never before imposed such a mandate. Nor has Congress. Indeed, although Congress has enacted significant legislation addressing the COVID–19 pandemic, it has declined to enact any measure similar to what OSHA has promulgated here,” the conservatives wrote in an unsigned opinion. Both rules had been challenged by Republican-led states. In addition, business groups attacked the OSHA emergency regulation as too expensive and likely to cause workers to leave their jobs at a time when finding new employees already is difficult.
So the Supreme Court will not protect the health of the general society, but will protect the rights of those that endanger the rights of others. The unvaxxed can kill with immunity and the rest of us schmucks have to sick back and take it. The Supreme Court is no longer relevant
Yet they can mandate what a woman does to her body. Shameful
The sheer word “block” delivers NPR bias
I have been getting dark purple spots on my arms. They come and go. I've been forced to have the 2 shots. Has to be unrelated, right? The vaccine is safe, right?
Thank god. That mandate was horse shit.
Right wing donor interests set out to capture the Supreme Court. It worked. Now, the Court’s 6-to-3, donor-chosen supermajority is delivering big wins for those interests, and Americans can smell what Justice Sotomayor aptly characterized as the ‘‘stench’’ of a captured Court.
Supreme Court Justidiots!
Biden isn’t concerned with covid. He’s ignoring the thousands of covid illegals pouring over the border every day.
They knew that alot of people would quit their jobs and they didn’t want that. you shouldn’t make grown adults get a fuckin shot anyway. It’s their life and their choices
People Vaccinated and boosted or infecting each other and some unvaccinated but they have mild symptoms
The shot heard 'round the world.
🇺🇲💪🏼
So they at least have some sense. Good.

I was forced to get vaccinated or face “possible” termination in my NYC job because of the bitchass DeBlasio, NOW this shit happens? -___- like come one. My job did not asked me for proof of vaccination after they sent the stupid mandate email in december -__- I got vaxxed.
We should by all means fight rules like this. Obama warned us about the internet rulings and we did nothing. Stay tuned folks. The government will find a reach around. Not the fun kind either.
Thank GOD
Same thing Campaign contributions investigation solves all problems immediately
Based.
Way to go SC!
I work for a retail and Home Depot is saying that people who work there don’t have to get vaccinated but they have to show that they are negative every time and if not they can’t work! Which is stupid rule! Already half the workers have COVID! This I think is a stupid rule for hd
Next step: Unvaccinated people, when getting sick are not covered by insurance, cannot use public transportation, cannot fly, cannot enter the country, cannot enter Federal facilities, including post offices, etc.!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
When vaccinated keep getting covid and realize the get just as sick as in 75% of case’s of non vaccinated they will realize like Dr. Fauci said everyone will catch covid eventually. This country has empty food shelves and 10 fold increased prices and manipulation at its finest
I wish that the people making these laws were forced to work in a factory wit half of employees not vaccinated. I am forced everyday to work with people who do not wear a mask properly and my employer of more than 6000 people does not in force their own policies. God save us all.
America is about freedom, not mandates. Not having a few people force their will on others. And while this is a victory, the fight isn’t over. Unfortunately, some employers are going to continue on. There needs to be a whole new bill of rights for workers.
So let me see if I understand this ruling medical workers are mandated to be vaccinated but the others who aren't being mandated have the right to demand that they be taken care of by those who are so damn worn out from these ungrateful people, BS!
aphotomama Trying to understand. No vaccine or testing mandates for the general business population where the virus is likely to spread quicker but mandates stay in place for HCW’s that have been the most stressed and overworked treating people who aren’t mandated. Yep makes sense.
Thank you, Donald Trump - can you imagine how this would have gone with tree of HillaryClinton ‘s political hacks on the court?
Boooo for health care workers
Yay
Good. At least one country’s highest court has some anti-totalitarianism still in it to deny the global elite money suppliers who only care about maintaining a stranglehold on their wealth and privilege at everyone else’s expense.
Stop mandating period! This is supposed to be a free country. The government is forcing dedicated health workers to leave their jobs and our health care system is in shambles due to lack of trained professionals. 70% vaxxed and covid is more rampant than ever = vax is ineffective
If you firmly believe the vaccine works, then get it..... don’t worry about what other people do... I know that this is fucking impossible for some people:
Mandates were never constitutional. Vaccines do not slow omicron transmission at all.... there is literally no point in getting the 3.... 4 jabs now? Please try to think critically here... if something isn’t effective, you don’t mandate it
They aren’t Supreme anymore. Just another arm of the Federalist society
Are the three justices not wearing masks the ones that voted for the mandate?
So decades of precedent and rule of law mean nothing to the GKKKP.
Considering how New Zealand's vaccines are doing, currently. It's understandable that the rule was blocked.
This is the kind of shit we get when Notorious RBG has the sheer audacity to die! The very nerve of her! Anybody know some strong necromancy spells?
But, S. C. justices and other GOP supporters will continue to blame Pres Biden for the virus/variant spread. They also blame him for the inflation. Business leaders are in control of 'goods'. They didn't get the policies this time. So they are getting theirs through inflation.
Cases will now skyrocket. Looks like we are going to be in this for another year or two 😞
I have freedom from stupidity with vaccine mandate. Big Pharma makes 18 billion with these vaccines that do not help
These people done convinced yall that if you take the vaccine you wont transmit the virus or you less likely to transmit the virus they lied to us we all caught omicron vaxxed and unvaxxed that mean it dont work if you wanna blame somebody how about you talk to the manufacturer
Republicans don’t get to whine about the economy, covid deaths or anything else, for that matter. Clearly they want miserable lives. No respect for this court!
Its a mystery why people are leaving their jobs!! Not
Thank you for saving our lives. We know the vax causes blood clots, heart attacks and heart inflammation. Hundreds of athletes have dropped dead on the field. Thank you for sparing us that same end.
It should be a testing mandate alone since sick vaxxed people are being forced back to work
I have all of the shots. I'm not wearing a mask. I'm so over it. The worse of it is over. Get back to living people.
People in the picture are wearing masks, and they have already been vaccinated.
So whether any agree 2 be vax'd for their own purposes 2 disregard others CHOICE because of your fears/BELIEFS is beyond asinine & horses on criminal. So when these MANDATES begin 2 extend beyond COVID because of gov agenda those who stood silent should have 0 complaints at all
Hahaha suck it Biden 🤣
A victory for businesses and the American people!
The real conversations about the origins of COVID-19 are so devastating to the US government that you would literally have to have them broadcast from the safety of a remote podcast in Moscow. Snowden KremlinRussia_E Wake Up Americans!
YES HAHAHAH
Do people really not realize that even if EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN was vaccinated, COVID would still run rampant through our country because variants continue to originate in other locations? Inc. third world countries with low vaccination rates (i.e. in Africa, Asia)? 🙄
Let's just build a new America ... I know someone who owns a man made island... it's a start
The vaccinated and the unvaccinated both carry and transmit the virus. I don't know why everyone is acting like they are protected by someone else's injection with a low-and-diminishing-efficacy vaccine, or why they want to disallow lawsuits if the vaccines do cause harm.
Hi
These aren't judges, they're just shameless political pawns. Lowest credibility ever
THIS IS WHY IT ISN'T OVER
The US Supreme Court rules in favor of Un-Equal Protection Under the Law! Medical professionals get zero rights to choose to be vaccinated. All other professions, retired, unemployed, illegal immigrants get to choose. Even those on Medicaid and Medicare. This makes no sense!
TimKennedyMMA So those of us in Healthcare have less freedom. Sounds great
W
You can’t mandate a new and untested vaccine (mRNA) which has 60-70% adverse side effects including death. We need more option we want COVAXIN which is built based on traditional and proven technology and it’s available in 60 countries but not in US because of big Pharma’s 💰
Why are we arguing the vaxx. If people don't want the vaxx, that's OK. If they go to the hospital they should be denied care. We all know most of them are Republicans;therefore, they might not vote.
Does that federal court order apply to the territory of PR? We have an abusive governor with the people of Puerto Rico.
This is so stupid so I have to continue to be around people who don't want to protect me
Yes! Yes! Yes!
For some reason, i get the impression that many of us confuse our rights with those that are in the best interest of our country. It is sad.
PattyArquette Trumps three SCOTUS appointments bites us in ass once again😡😡
Thank god for the Supreme Court. New World Order encroaching hardcore
ANY vaccine mandate in the US is an insult to all who have fought and/or died for the freedoms of this country. POTUS we own our bodies, NOT the government. Now, send everyone FREE N95s and At home Covid-19 tests. Continue to do so until we get back to new normal. N95sForAll
Ridiculously mad
Pretty rich that, (see photo) no one but the speaker can be in the Scotus hearing room maskless. While SCOTUS alone can decide that everyday workers in the real world can’t get that same guarantee. What do you say to workers who live in states with uncaring, AWOL governors?
COVID vaccine mandates are necessary because the protected need to be protected from the unprotected by forcing the unprotected to use the protection that didn't protect the protected. 😂👍🖕
McConnell court risks lives of all Americans. They don’t care. To say that OSHA can’t require vaccinations is absurd. ExpandSCOTUS to depoliticize it.
Supreme Court lost it relevance. It is a partition hack and needs to be rebooted.
The Supreme Court just reminded Joe Biden that America has a President, not a king. LetsGoBrandon FJoeBiden FJB
Now we will see if Biden has balls. scotus has no constitutional authority to interfere or usurp executive authority. OSHA can deem a facility unsafe if conducive to a contagious potentially fatal disease & shut it down
LAME
hmmm so businesses are also restricted from encouraging sane practice?
L Supreme Court I’m tired of wearing these damn masks everyday for school my acne breaking out more cuz of it smh 🤦♂️
If we don't get stuff done, we'll all be victims of climate change soon enough, cuz it's already here kiddos! I'll be dead, but the rest of ya will be TOASTED, ROASTED!
EXPAND THE COURT!!!! NOW!
The argument presented was weak. Essential employees should have been the argument and make sure the country is running with food, deliveries, and essential things.
I am an American and fought for my country on distant shores. I believe in the constitution that made our nation great. Now we have a court.. they call themselves supreme.. who for the most part are political puppets .. some should not be there.. I believe some should resign
Many business already mandate vaccine or test rule 😂so that is a joke 🤷🏻♀️they are not stupid .
Yay! Take your mandate and stuff it.
To think if an ailing RBG had stepped down when she should have under obama, Trump wouldn't have had three Supreme Court picks and rulings like this -- and the current abortion challenges -- wouldn't quite be the issue we see now. Her rock star status cost her ideology. Shame.
'The court will allow a vaccine mandate for workers at federally funded health care facilities' ..any hospital that took a loan from uncle sam SCOTUS is blind if they think they can actually mandate
Good
This goes for everyone in the comment section who cannot handle the truth which is the federal government CANNOT OVER STEP ITS U.S CONSTITUTION LIMITS. its a known fact people or should I say 'leftists' to be more accurate.
And in the meantime, President Biden Has sent people to give states (mine included) because there are not enough HCW’s to staff hospitals. I know of three admissions from one urgent care facility to area hospitals within 12 hours. There are multiple UCs & EDs and all are slammed.
Oh great... Now we are all going to die from the COVID19 just by showing up to work...👎👎👎
Freedom of choice! 🙏
This is great news, Let’s make America great again
Lulz
Well, the “conservative” judges are anything but conservative. In fact, they will be responsible for more people dying. Nice Pro-life stance. Hypocrites.
This is BS. It’s about saving lives. Just get the damn shot, y’all.
HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
Is it unconstitutional? Oh yes it is! SCOTUS
And once again, Biden loses in the courts.
Love it
The only lives this court cares about have the means ($freedom$) to work from the safety of their own homes or travel to a liberal state for reproductive care. Essential workers and their families have no right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness or anything else.
“6-3 huh? Shocking!” -Nobody
NM
Hope these people realize that their insurance will start going up when they are not vaccinated.
Don't come crying to me when OSHA mandates circumcision for both male and female health care workers for cleanliness and disease prevention.
This is ridiculous and dangerous!
Private businesses can impose mandates. And individuals can choose to not work there, not consume their products, and encourage like-minded friends and family to do the same. Freedom is really cool!
It's about time Joe Biden realizes that he is not the king that he thinks he is.
While not surprising, it's still a corrupt, activist court led by political operatives.
Let's go Darwin!
Good
So if you have 100 or less employees, it's still mandated?
Better hope this thing doesn’t mutate again. Better hope this is the last pandemic in human history
Funeral home and casket maker stock trending up.
OK, why should there be a difference between health care workers and say, teachers?
Scotus is disgusting. Just think the are protected by mask mandates and they say this. HYPOCRITES
This ruling has nothing to do with Covid. It’s about executive authority and when can the president bypass Congress. The Supreme Court got this right. Executive authority must be limited.
Knew that was going to happen. Freedom and your choice to die than see ya!
SupremeCourt is on the side of Corporate Money and against healthcare. The Conservative judges should all be held responsible for every death and the payment of the hospital bills for every unvaccinated person who becomes infected.
The scotus is a joke. Ever since they decided that Corporations are 'equal' to citizens which allows an unfettered amount of money into politics they've been undermining the Constitution and Civil Rights of Americans. The GOP appt's to the Court are political hacks. JoeBiden
I am quickly reaching the point where I'm fine with Republicans killing themselves.
Up next, measles, tetanus, polio... Dragging us back to the Dark Ages because The Enlightenment was to them, a mistake.
People that called Donald trump a fascist are mad that the government won’t be enforcing a federal mandate
JuliePace Why does SCOTUS have vaccination and testing requirements for people entering the court? What's good for them is not allowed for employees in these businesses? SCOTUS' workplace is protected, but these conservative and partisan justices say the hell with the rest of us.
Damn what a roller coaster we’re on. Not sure how much more we can take.
cperruna
All I have to say is the “Right Wing” judges just did our county a dis-service. But what would we expect, that they do the right thing to get people vaccinated! I can’t wait for Term Limits! Pathetic!
Makes me wonder whose side they’re on - us, or the virus?
but but the morellonomicon variant!!! what will the decepticons do. watch in the next episode of dragon ball
👀👀👀👀
Ayyyy score one for common sense! 🦅
Yeah sure but A24 has 'X' coming out!! Goddam!
