Supreme Court strikes down covid mandate on private businesses, maintains mandate for most health care workers ☣️💉

 

I am not surprised by this ruling. The Biden Administration over reached on private businesses. Health care facilities are federally funded (mostly) so it "arguably"* has authority to impose restrictions on it. I hate all mandates and think they are counter productive and draconian, but at least SCOTUS refused to enforce (at least for now) the more draconian position.  

* Don't take this as me endorsing this. SCOTUS majority is flat wrong. Kavanaugh and Roberts went squish.

Instapundit: Kav and Roberts, wusses

The Supreme Court’s striking down the OSHA vaccine mandate is a relief. The Court’s upholding the HHS mandate for health workers, many of whom have prior immunity to COVID, is a catastrophe. This fight’s not over so long as any man, woman or child has to live under COVID tyranny.
