Why would a mandate depend on employment? Shouldn't a public health issue be dealt with by public health measures?

The reality, as we have now seen, is that vaccine mandates of an experimental approval drug are unlawful at the federal level.

Thus attempts to have companies do it in a patchwork fashion were an attempt to end-run the issue (yes my employer does a huge amount of government related business).

Except thats being attacked too. Sometimes private "market forces" are easier than government.

> vaccine mandates of an experimental approval drug

Not experiemental.

> unlawful at the federal level.

Unlawful for a federal employer to require, not unlawful.

You're quoting my middle paragraph inappropriately and thus ascribing a meaning I never wrote, to it.
