This happened two days ago. I will remove this if someone has already posted it
Apparently it's perceived as a "medical procedure"
A federal judge in Texas ruled Friday that the Biden Administration cannot enforce its vaccine mandate for federal employees, issuing an injunction that halts the requirement nationwide.
Judge Jeffrey Brown found the president had no legal authority to require feds to get vaccinated, saying that while he has broad power over federal employment policies, those authorities arent sweeping enough to justify the September executive order that implemented the requirement.
This case is not about whether folks should get vaccinated against COVID-19 the court believes they should, he wrote. It is not even about the federal governments power, exercised properly, to mandate vaccination of its employees. It is instead about whether the president can, with the stroke of a pen and without the input of Congress, require millions of federal employees to undergo a medical procedure as a condition of their employment. That, under the current state of the law as just recently expressed by the Supreme Court, is a bridge too far.
