Could be. Personally I don't recall getting flu shots until the 1980's or so.
Please forgive me for wasting your oh so precious time. :-)
Adults admit error without the sarcasm. "Could be"? Nope, IS, with citation. No need for forgiveness. It's my pleasure to so routinely prove you wrong. Thank you.
The Supreme Court has rejected an emergency appeal from health care workers in Maine to block a vaccine mandate that went into effect Friday.
Three conservative justices noted their dissents. The state is not offering a religious exemption to hospital and nursing home workers who risk losing their jobs if they are not vaccinated.
Only New York and Rhode Island also have vaccine mandates for health care workers that lack religious exemptions. Both are the subject of court fights and a court has allowed workers in New York to seek religious exemptions while the lawsuit plays out.
The high court has previously turned away students at Indiana University and teachers in New York City who objected to being vaccinated. Both the university and city allow people to seek religious exemptions....
But most health workers have complied, and Maine residents in general have been supportive of the vaccine. The Maine Hospital Association and other health care groups support the requirement.
Last week, Maine became the fourth state to achieve a milestone of 70% of all residents being vaccinated, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“These are the vaccines we were all hoping and praying for a year ago,” Mills said. “Now we have them, and we should take full advantage of them.”
... The court voted 6-3, with conservative Justices John Roberts and Trump-appointees Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett siding with the liberal justices....
That said, a lot of things are relative in post-Trumpworld, as O Really says.
The temporary restraining order preventing the state from enforcing its mandate on health care workers requesting religious exemptions has been lifted.
A federal appellate court sided with the State of New York, lifting the temporary restraining order and allowing the state to enforce the health care workers mandate....
