The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a challenge by Missouri and nine other states - mostly Republican-led - to President Joe Biden's COVID-19 vaccine mandate for workers in healthcare facilities that receive federal funds.

The justices turned away an appeal by the states after a lower court declined to immediately consider their claims that the vaccine rule violates federal administrative law and tramples over powers reserved for the states under the U.S. Constitution. The Democratic president's administration issued the rule in November 2021.

The federal healthcare worker rule requires vaccination for about 10.3 million workers at 76,000 healthcare facilities including hospitals and nursing homes that accept money from the Medicare and Medicaid government health insurance programs for elderly, disabled and low-income Americans. Missouri sued alongside Nebraska, Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming - winning an injunction against the requirement in those states.

'that medical providers take steps to avoid transmitting a dangerous virus'. Yeah, but the thing is, the vaccine never prevented the transmission at all, therefore mandating it is for medical workers is useless.

The Supreme Court decided that the medical profession should take steps in avoiding transmitting a deadly virus to its patients? Although the vaccine does not prevent you from spreading the illness...SMH

we knew that was going to happen. Thank heavens that's as limited as the scope of reach is.

you're gonna take your jab and like it
