Today, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee mandated the Covid vaccine for all state and private healthcare employees. These people must all be vaccinated by October 18th or lose their jobs. There is no provision for regular testing for unvaccinated people. Religious exemptions will likely be allowed, though there are scant details on who accepts exemptions and on what grounds. Likewise, there are no details on how compliance will be enforced, though I have heard that the state Dept. of Health has records for all of those who have been vaccinated. It would be easy for them to compare databases and know who has not complied.

This topic is very close to home to me. It is simply incredible that any governor can be allowed to get away with such a wide mandate. What will the next mandate be? Is there no rule of law in our country anymore?
