Vaccines work, and so do mandates, but Republican politicians are among those who are muddying the message. Many of the lawsuits portray vaccine mandates as a form of federal tyranny— downplaying the extent to which the spread of an infectious disease affects the freedom of others; as Biden says, staying its mandate “would likely cost dozens or even hundreds of lives per day." The Supreme Court, for its part, may focus on whether OSHA is the proper body to issue such a rule; public health is traditionally a state concern, but OSHA does deal with workplace risks." Good article discussing this moment.
