Tal Axelrod – The Hill Dec 19, 2020
A key federal agency said this week that employers can legally require their workers to get the COVID-19 vaccine and prevent them from entering their workplaces if they refuse.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in guidance issued Wednesday said that requiring a test would not violate the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990. The law bars employers from requiring medical exams such as blood tests that seek information on an employee’s physical or mental condition, but the EEOC said a COVID-19 vaccine does not fall under that category.
“If a vaccine is administered to an employee by an employer for protection against contracting COVID-19, the employer is not seeking information about an individual’s impairments or current health status and, therefore, it is not a medical examination,” the commission said.
“There are many reasons that may explain why an employee has not been vaccinated, which may or may not be disability-related,” it added.
Public health experts have said they predict employers will play a key role in helping bring the nation to a critical degree of widespread immunity as vaccines become more widely available. Two vaccines, one from Pfizer and BioNTech and another from Moderna, have already been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is anticipated to greenlight the administration of the Moderna vaccine in the coming days.
Still, even with permission from the EEOC, employers must be cautious about any information that may be gleaned from prescreening questions, which the government said must be “job related and consistent with business necessity.”
A requirement for employees to receive the COVID-19 vaccine could play an important role in combating what experts say is an alarmingly high rate of skepticism toward the shot.
While vaccines are considered one of the most crucial tools to finally reduce the spread of the disease, a Gallup survey last month found that just 58 percent of Americans said they would receive a vaccine.
To boost public confidence in a shot, Vice President Pence, second lady Karen Pence and Surgeon General Jerome Adams all received the Pfizer shot on live television this week, and President-elect Joe Biden will do the same next week.
While the vaccines provide a light at the end of the tunnel, the nation is still heading into what is anticipated to be the deadliest phase of the virus before they are widely available in the spring and summer. Public health experts have expected a spike in cases to emerge following Thanksgiving and Christmas, and the country has at times reported more than 3,000 deaths in a single day.
Sure, they can require it, but these employers will face legal action. The employer believes the official script, but a well-informed employee will have a very strong case. I heard this debate based on the UK and the legal expert didn’t hold the view that employers could force employees to be vaccinated, given that this was a contractual change… let’s say a healthy employee reluctantly has the needle and dies within hours of taking the poison… husband or wife then sues the company for millions & I doubt public liability will cover this.
The regime has quickly and fairly quietly dropped medical staff from their priority list & they’ve done this because they know that most doctors and nurses will never have the Covid cure.
They’re running out of time. The economic collapse of the US is accelerating, unstoppable and almost upon them. People taking the vaccine are already falling ill to it and there’s another 7. odd billion to go. Making others like employers and concert venues enforce the vaccine shows their own ability to enforce it is failing. It’s like calling in the reserves early in a losing battle.
I don’t see how they can achieve it. They won’t give up because it means arrest and trials for them all, but it might already be falling apart for them. I think our odds improve by the day while theirs are fading.
Thanks ‘Tal Axelrod’ (echo echo echo) for the high definition fear porn. Now you can go crawl back in your dark little cave. Your tribe has done a great job of rounding up the sheep for slaughter. Baaaa!
Welcome to your Talmudic Technocommunist Tyranny
Ratchild: How can we inject the goyim with nanobots so we can digitally connect them to the Starlink grid, & have omnipotent control over them?
Mongrelberg: Just invent a hoax virus/vaccine as the cover story, which will impel most of them to get ‘vaccinated’, not knowing our ulterior agenda. Those who refuse, we will deny them access to stores, bars, restaurants & employment, until they’re vaccinated.
The vaccine has not been tested thoroughly tested so is therefore experimental vaccine which you are not required to take.
The Nuremberg Code… Article 1 which the US is a signatory.
The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.
“A key federal agency said this week that employers can legally require their workers to get the COVID-19 vaccine…”, and I can legally shoot to death anyone trying to inflict serious bodily injury or death upon me. And I will do exactly that.
