Well, there that's better. I felt like I'd stepped into the Twilight Zone with OSHA actually doing something helpful and all. But we're back to normal now. They're useless as ever. I do wonder, however, what do you think are the odds workers will still be able to litigate successfully against employers for forcing them to get the vaccine if they suffer serious adverse effects? Will Workman's Comp be forced to pay? Could they collect disability, if as the three women I saw on The High Wire, they are so damaged they can no longer work?
Considering the very next question on that screenshot of the OSHA page, it all makes sense of you are building towards a socialist paradise in the US, right? You hold private companies liable for everything, you get them coming and going.
Businesses have to follow stupid NPI rules of signs and masks and plexiglass and stickers on the floor six feet apart, to protect employees and customers from contracting Covid on the premises. We knew last spring that the only way for businesses to reopen was going to have to be some sort of blanket legal immunity.
Didn't this really begin a long time ago with fights over paid and unpaid sick leave? Reading my son's UFCW newsletter, their leaders are throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks: never let a crisis go to waste. Take and hold territory. They follow in the footsteps of teacher's unions, looking to finally permanently reduce class size.

If Florida and Sweden didn't exist, modern civilization would be doomed.
Continued descent into hell
Would love to know who, specifically, in OSHA got paid off and how much they were paid to move this particular goal post.
i wonder how an 'employer' can make an experiment run by a frightened mob a 'condition of employment'.....?
OSHA had a choice. They chose wrong. They bent the knee...but to whom and for what purpose?
We have one body and one life. There will be other jobs.

Call it scientific socialism.
