I searched but couldnt find specifically what I was looking for.. I know that the OSHA vax mandate has been stayed by the sixth circuit, BUT can companies still enforce their own mandates? or could it be considered an OSHA violation since OSHA is not even allowed to enforce mandates? but there isnt an OSHA rule that states they CAN'T have mandates so I am unclear if you can point to OSHA if a company tries to mandate being vaxxed..
Specifically I am wondering if any one on here works in film production (Los Angeles) and if companies who were requiring vax mandates (like Disney & several big ones) have had to stop requiring vaccination proof lest it be an OSHA violation? thanks in advance.
Technically they would be liable for injuries — the EUA doesn’t make them immune. but this hasn’t been challenged in the courts. And the courts enforcement is arbitrary.
If it were me, I’d say I’ve complied with the EUA statute. And I’d leave it at that. And if they want proof of vaccine, I’d give them the informed consent document with the boxed checked “decline” and my signature.
Could you also argue that the EUA is no longer needed because it is provable that other medicines work, like Ivermectin and Hxq? The only reason the EUA was used was because it was supposedly an emergency, now some 2 years in we know that these other meds work, it could be easily argued given the stats, the latest out of Scotland for the last 28 days has 74% of hospital patients with CV are fully vaxx'd whilst a whopping 89% of deaths from CV in the last 28 days were also fully vaxx'd!
I'm just throwing out some thoughts here and in no way fully understand the legal side of it all.
of course you're right, we knew when they were actively surpressing therapeutics it was to justify an EUA, but that's more of a larger criminal conspiracy. the argument over the EUA is not going to help an individual avoid their employer's policy.
but an employee should formally ask, in the name of equal treatment, how are they going to protect the workplace from the vaccinated, given these high infection rates with new variants that the boosters don't protect against?
Just imagine how much more sense it would all make if them figures were the other way around, then companies may have an argument, but currently nope.
