KFF tracks all the various laws and regulations in the states:
27 states, all Republican-controlled, are challenging President Biden’s vaccine-or-test mandate for large employers. The vast majority of these states are also challenging #COVID19 vaccination requirements for federal contractors or health care workers.
I find that terrifying. “The Heartland” states run by Repubicans are actively and consciously dedicated to keeping their own death rates high. Wow.
A federal court on Monday temporarily halted the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for health workers at hospitals that receive federal funding.
The ruling by a Missouri-based federal judge applies to health care employees in the 10 states that sued to block the administration’s Nov. 5 rule. Those states are Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming.
U.S. District Judge Matthew Schelp, a Trump appointee, appeared persuaded by the states’ argument that the mandate would lead to staffing shortages.
Better to lose sick and vulnerable patients than lose an anti-science wingnut health care worker who speads the deadly disease to them.
I have no empathy left for these people. None. Sorry.
