How about unvaccinated staff pose a risk to patients who are in the hospital and likely immunocompromised?

I agree if they fired people wfh that was stupid, but for doctors and nurses? Yeah they are a liability for other patients.

Except they are firing people. My company just announced all remote employees must be vaccinated. What does that mean? That is what their lawyers told them the vax mandate means. The same vax mandates that are getting nurses fired. Why can't people just come out and say it that the federal government mandates in their current form are illegal?

Because 1) they're not illegal and 2) they're quite useful to society as we want to make sure everyone gets vaccinated.

Nonsense. You have no evidence to show they're not illegal.

To show they're illegal the burden of proof is on you.
