Also, I'm surprised how often judges side with vaccine mandates.
In reference to the Covid tests in lieu of the vaccine, you better hope it's not the one where they have to stick the giant Q-Tip into your brain! If I had to do that every week I'd stop being an antivaxxer real quick!
I'm no expert on the Supreme Court either but the way I read it is they can choose not to block a courts decision, or to stay that decision so the Supremes can take up the case - and Barrett didn't block it. I was really surprised she didn't want a crack at it actually. There was a case in Boston I believe back a hundred years ago that has been the guidance for vaccine mandates. Vaccine mandates were always a conservative position as far as I can tell. Up until recently it was a bunch of crunchy hippies who wouldn't get their kids vaccinated for a variety of reasons. My how times change...
