It’s hard to count the obscenities in the Klain-Jill Administration’s attempts to use OSHA to mandate vaccines: defining people as ‘workplace hazards’ for potentially carrying a cold virus, defining them as such when the bloody vaccine is not sterilizing, and attempting to impose obligations on employers without regard to whether they employ people in multiple states or not. (The eviction moratorium was issued by an agency with no jurisdiction over landlord-tenant matters made obligatory on parties who seldom if ever do business with out-of-state parties and seldom if ever are parties to proceedings anywhere but in state courts (municipal courts, modally).
The mandate is because of fear. The officials making the mandate fear that if they get the virus, then they die, and if they die, then they go to the hell whose existence they have denied all their lives but which they so richly deserve. It’s really that simply.
Could I be hoping for too much or is this the beginning of a return to sanity?

Sorry, makes no sense to me. Rochelle Walensky is not in a high risk subpopulation and she can get the vaccine herself if she’s so bloody hep on it.
It all seems like inept mom logic. I said you gotta do it so you gotta do it (even if it makes no sense).
Evidently, the vaccines are ineffective. The numbers of so-called breakthrough infections and deaths prove it.
This, like everything they committed since March 2020, is simply political gamesmanship [let’s see what we can get away with];and now they’re using the lies to deflect and distract from the scores of crises they’ve unleashed on Americans.
Christian Charity! Pray for them.
Imagine suffering eternal torment in Hell handcuffed to Mao.
@Art Deco, maybe you’re right: “It all seems like inept mom logic.”
It could also be about control and power.
It’s also interesting to note the groups exempted from this administration’s mandate:
—Members of Congress and their staffs.
— White House staff.
— employees of the CDC.
— OSHA employees
— US Postal Service employees
— Employees of both Pfizer and Moderna corporations.
The science that explains how employment by these organizations confers immunity that renders vaccination unnecessary is not clear to me. But then I lack a degree in Woke (aka ‘politically expedient’) Immunology. Woke Immunology also supports the assertion that gathering for Mass in the time of plague is bad, but gathering to protest for BLM is laudable.
All federal workers are already required to get the vaccine. It’s next to impossible for the executive branch to pass requirements on the legislative. Pfizer and Moderna are not exempt from the mandate, as far as I can tell, but the actual OSHA mandate probably won’t be upheld anyway. But both companies have vaccine requirements.
The mandate is about control. There is not logic behind mandating vaccines. I’m worried that they are mandating for our children who, if they catch the virus, have a higher immunity post illness than any vaccine could offer.
Government do not know what they are doing. It’s policy on the fly.
All federal workers are already required to get the vaccine.
Postal service employees are not. Another indication, in case you needed one, that the public sector unions are about the only people Democratic pols listen to.
“Government do not know what they are doing. It’s policy on the fly.“
I’m afraid they know exactly what they are doing.
I think the USPS is considered a company, and as such would be covered under the mandate (if it stands up). They’re on that weird legal edge, like, I don’t know if the Tennessee Valley Authority is required to get the vaccine as federal, or if they will be as private. And this isn’t about public sector unions avoiding the vaccine, because most states already require them for teachers.
There are multiple categories of “Postal Workers” for the post office.

My state doesn’t require it for teachers & in fact has banned the requirements for all state agencies. The majority of states do not require this to my knowledge. See article below.
“As of Sept. 28, two states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico have ordered all teachers to get vaccinated. Another eight states have said teachers must get vaccinated or undergo regular testing.”

The teachers unions represent Karen Bibulous, MEd. The postal workers unions represent postal workers; about 1/3 of all postal workers are black.

It’s a company with one shareholder.
Teachers unions (especially public sector teachers unions) are what you get when you take the most corrupt union you can think of and have its leaders say “You know what? I think we’re being too subtle about being operatives for the democrats.”
Their main purpose is blatant politicking for whatever the current fad of the day is. The only time they will take action for their employees is when it hurts your kids. So they’ll step in to save the job of the teacher who used CRT to say that your kid is a white supremacist who should kill himself. But not for the teacher next door who’s doing his best to actually teach history, science or math.
Unions in other industries often do more harm than good but they at least address the biggest complaints of their members.
I am a fool. I had read that statement that The Christian Teacher quoted, misreading it as “28 states”.
