Here’s How the SCOTUS Hearing Went on the Vaccine Mandate
Can a Supreme Court oral argument get flagged for disinformation? Justice Sotomayor, who apparently only watches MSNBC, believes the omicron variant is as deadly as the Delta variant and that 100,000 children are in hospitals with many on ventilators. None of that is true.
The question was whether the OSHA vaccine mandate should be enjoined and it appears the majority of the Court is willing to do that. I listened in for much of the oral arguments this morning. Here are the details.
I'm so done with this 'mess'. I cannot understand why the media and many of our government leaders have resorted to this level of fearmongering. I do understand that Covid-19 is a devastating virus especially for the obese (which the media is FINALLY reporting on)and folks with other underlying health conditions.
My 67 year old husband just recovered from Omicron. My family has not been vaccinated, we chose to socially distance and use masks. My husband did a short consult for his former employer and apparently, despite everyone being masked, he was infected. He ran a 102 degree fever for a few hours Christmas Eve, and then had what we call a 'head cold'. He had a sore throat, a mild cough and felt a bit drained. His biggest complaint was losing his sense of taste for about two weeks - that's it. I and our two adult daughters have been right there with him and we have yet to experience any problems.
The amount of misinformation that is being spread by media and government entities is more frightening to me than the virus. It makes me wonder just what and how much has been ceded to the pharmaceutical corporations.
Regarding hospital capacity - and this is based on what I have heard from friends in the medical industry - most (if not all) hospitals are operating at reduced capacity due to staffing shortages which have been caused by hospital enforced vaccine mandates. Plenty of beds available, just not the staff to support them. One of the local larger hospitals has two entire floors that are empty - full of beds - due to the self induced staffing shortage.
