Analysis: Biden’s Vaccine Mandate Isn’t Technikcally a Vaccine Mandate

Mon, 2021-11-08 09:46 — mike kraft

Biden’s Vaccine Mandate Isn’t Really a Vaccine Mandate The new OSHA pandemic regulations that just dropped are a work of semantic art with a conservative Supreme Court in mind. The New Republic

...

In nearly every statement other than Biden’s, and in many news reports on the matter, the OSHA rule was described as a “vaccine mandate.” But this is not actually correct. The new rule is better understood as a testing mandate with a vaccine exception—and that distinction could be crucial as it works its way through courts of law and public opinion.

Experts are warning that the push to vaccinate kids has already been seized on by groups looking to spread anti-vaccination messages.

Thu, 2021-11-04 10:26 — mike kraft

Dr. Natasha Burgert is well aware of the concerns parents have about the Covid-19 vaccines.

The Kansas pediatrician, who is a spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics, said she’s already been counseling some parents about their fears. And she worries that they are entering a particularly sensitive time — one that anti-vaccination activists could exploit.

“If the anti-vaccine industry starts doing what we anticipate, with those very graphic and emotionally charged videos, and bringing out their supposed experts, I think it’s going to affect a new group of parents,” she said.
