Why experts say vaccine mandates are legal and more are on the way

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

With the delta variant surging, some businesses have begun announcing COVID-19 vaccine mandates for employees with some exceptions on religious and medical grounds.

The announcements have led to relief for some and strong opposition and protests for others as well as a handful of states introducing legislation to block them.

While there may be opposition to those policies, ultimately the mandates -- which also come as efforts stagnate to reach the remaining unvaccinated Americans -- are on solid legal ground, public health experts contend.

Long-standing legal precedent

States have over a century of legal precedent for mandating vaccines, according to Koh, who currently serves as a professor of the practice of public health Leadership at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health.

The courts have not determined if the federal government can issue a vaccine mandate, however, the Supreme Court's decision in the 1905 case Jacobson v. Massachusetts gave state governments the power to issue such a mandate.

1. Well if the blue states

Enact mandates,the red states won't mandate it does nothing to change the situation we all are in.

Red state republicans want to keep murdering people via the covid.

How can we make red states get real and painful consequences for thier anti social actions of thier people and the psychopath leaders getting off on murdering people?

If the federal government has trouble enforcing mandates already?
