But the rapid spread of the variant has created a level of disruption in many Americans’ lives not seen since the early days of the pandemic. Staffing shortages have forced schools and businesses to close and have led to absences in police and fire departments with large numbers of sick first-responders.
They fired first responders who wouldn't get jabbed, complain about shortages but then WANT SICK AND INFECTED WORKERS TO RETURN TO WORK. Does that make a lick of sense?
Fire workers who refuse the jab because they might get sick and pass it on to patients.
Ask already infected and sick workers to return to work where they will almost certainly pass it on to patients.
It sure does not look like wanting to protect patients is the motive for wanting first responders vaccinated.

As for the second decision, I look at it this way. If I was a patient, and I had to choose between being cared for by someone who tested positive but was asymptomatic and wearing an N95 respirator, and not being cared for by anyone, I think I'd choose the former.

Those do take months to resolve, hence my statement of it taking a while. But it was actually a request for emergency blocking of a law/policy, which are decisions that aren't really final judgments on legality/constitutionality, but rather decisions on whether something can go into effect while the actual case itself gets examined in more detail by courts. Those cases obviously get decisions much more quickly, but they normally don't get oral arguments I don't think so I incorrectly assumed it was a full case.Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.

Biden Administration Making Lists of Religious Vaccine Objectors
A tiny administrative agency in the District of Columbia announced a new policy Tuesday that will likely serve as a model for a whole-of-government push to assemble lists of Americans who object on religious grounds to a COVID-19 vaccine.
The Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia—a federal independent entity that assists officers in the District of Columbia courts in formulating release recommendations and providing supervision and services to defendants awaiting trial—announced a new records system that will store the names and “personal religious information” of all employees who make “religious accommodation requests for religious exception from the federally mandated vaccination requirement.”
The announcement does not explain why the agency needs to create this list except to say that it will “assist the Agency in the collecting, storing, dissemination, and disposal of employee religious exemption request information collected and maintained by the Agency.” In other words, the list will help the agency make a list.
The announcement also does not say what the agency will do with this information after it has decided an employee’s religious accommodation request.
And neither does the announcement explain why the Biden administration chose to test this policy in an agency with a majority-black staff, who are both more religious and less vaccinated than other groups. So much for the president’s commitment to “racial equity.”
We’re starting to suspect that President Joe Biden is not keeping his promise to have the most transparent administration in history.
What’s really going on with this announcement at this tiny agency? Likely, the Biden administration is using it to stealth test a policy it intends to roll out across the whole government.
Almost nobody has ever heard of the Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia, and very few people pay close attention to it or are covered by its policies. Indeed, at of the time of publication of this article, the announcement has been viewed only 16 times.
However, had Biden announced, for example, that the Department of Labor intended to adopt this policy, it would be big news. The Federal Register where announcements like this are made would be flooded with comments that the department would have to address.
That would, of course, delay the policy’s rollout. With the Pretrial Services Agency, Biden likely expected that the policy would land quickly and without a splash. As it is, the notice of a new announcement provides less than 30 days for public comment.
Biden may not be winning points for transparency, but he’s doing his best to win first place in subjecting Americans with sincerely held religious beliefs to differential treatment.

Ouch...
Public trust in the covid cult and its criminal peddlers...
- Dr. Anthony Fauci: 31%
- Federal health authorities like the CDC and the FDA: 50%
- President Biden: 15%
- The news media: 10%
Brace yourselves. You know what a wild desperate animal does when it gets cornered.

I am too. But I'm even more surprised there were more votes for "not strict enough" in regards to covid mandates and apparently there were only about 33% Dems surveyed.
Tucker has been slamming the Republicans for their plans for when they take over the House, as none of their top agenda items have anything to do with pushback against mandates and gov't overreach. But I can't blame them much, because I saw a poll that said about 2/3 of their constituents also don't put those concerns high on the list of issues they want fixed.Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.
