Montana only state to ban vaccine requirements for employees

Source: ABC News

While many large companies across the U.S. have announced that COVID-19 vaccines will be required for their employees to return to work in-person, there is one state where such requirements are banned: Montana.

Under a new law passed by the state’s Republican-controlled Legislature earlier this year, requiring vaccines as a condition for employment is deemed “discrimination” and a violation of the state’s human rights laws.

Montana is the only state in the U.S. with a law like this for private employers, said Hemi Tewarson, executive director of the National Academy for State Health Policy.

The law has raised concern among employers across the state as Montana struggles with a rise in COVID-19 cases that is once again straining the state's health care system.

As Republicans march quickly to the fringe, more and more sane people are realizing that there are deadly differences between the 2 Parties.

Every god damned one of them should be shamed in public, and thrown in prison for using COVID politically.
A vaccine is available to bring an end to COVID, but because they aren't running the country, they will continue to let American's die.

Gianforte is a piece of shit. Matt Rosendale is a piece of shit.

But lots of people in Montana voted for these assholes.

It somehow went from four straight Democratic wins in governor elections (2004, 08, 12, 16) to this covidiocy.

easiest way to make them feel happy is to blame all of their troubles on someone or something else. It acts like a drug on their pathetic and simple brains.
