Previously, the U.S. federal government introduced a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination order, which stipulates that federal government employees and contractor employees who do business with the federal government must be vaccinated. However, this provision has met with considerable resistance in its implementation.
On the 29th local time, 10 "red states", that is, Republican-ruled states, jointly filed a lawsuit against the US federal government and raised objections to the mandatory vaccination order of the new crown vaccine.
According to the US "Capitol Hill" reported on the 30th, these 10 states are Missouri, Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming, which jointly filed a lawsuit on the 29th, saying that the federal government must end this obvious ultra vires. The lawsuit mentions that the COVID-19 vaccination compulsory vaccination order usurped the autonomy of U.S. states and is illegal and unconstitutional.
New York firefighters threatened senator staff with suspension
In New York City, hundreds of firefighters held a protest on the 28th to oppose the mandatory vaccination order. The ABC also mentioned in the report on the 30th that 4 New York City firefighters were suspended after threatening the staff of a state senator's office in New York because they were unwilling to be vaccinated. It is understood that the 4 people went to the office of a New York State senator during their work, when the senator was not there, and the 4 firefighters asked for his home address and told the office staff that New York City would "have blood on its hands" because of the new crown vaccination mandatory vaccination order.
The lawsuit was dismissed after the Maine paramedics filed
Maine announced a mandatory vaccination order in August, which applies to employees of hospitals, nursing homes and other health facilities, and is scheduled to take effect on October 29, local time. Some healthcare workers in Maine filed a lawsuit earlier this month because of their reluctance to get vaccinated, but it was rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court on the 29th.
Since Democratic President Biden came to power, there has been a constant discord between the federal government and the Republican -- "red states" over anti-epidemic measures, and political struggles have been staged within the states. The American people have also been wrapped up in it, quarreling and suing over the most basic prevention and control measures such as wearing masks and vaccinations. Whether or not to implement these measures has become a struggle of values, rising to the level of whether to "infringe on individual freedoms". Activities such as anti-masks and anti-vaccines are emerging in an endless stream. In fact, it is precisely because of the inability to form a scientific and unified consensus on epidemic prevention that the epidemic situation in the United States continues to deteriorate, and the American people are ultimately suffering from it.
