Larsen delivered the dissenting decision on pp 39-57. The dissent opinion is very compelling regarding certain aspects of the OSHA rule, in particular to rules beyond the workplace (e.g., OSHA’s authority is limited to workplace safety - not remotely, home based work). In addition, it addresses weaknesses in OSHA’s determination of the existence of “grave danger”. Looks like there may be grounds for appeal… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no precedent for a permanent alteration of our bodies as a requirement for work (my words). https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/21a244_hgci.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Newsweek magazine: “According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, a total of 98.1 percent of companies in the U.S. employ fewer than 100 people, with companies with less than than 10 employees accounting for 78.4 percent.” Reported “BY EWAN PALMER ON 9/10/21 AT 9:06 AM EDT” There is a ton of general interaction with the general public by employees of small firms or self employed persons. So why should only certain company employees face mandatory vaccination or be subject to testing or termination?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
