Not Vaccinated? Get Ready to Pay
Anne Pollak
(Bloomberg) -- As the latest Covid-19 wave flares up, countries are starting to take a tougher stance toward those who haven’t been vaccinated.
From sending those without shots into lockdown, to forcing them to pay their own Covid medical bills, here are some of the steps being taken to try to encourage more people to get immunized.
Lockdown in Austria
The country with one of the lowest inoculation rates in western Europe may soon announce a nationwide lockdown for the unvaccinated or those that haven’t recently recovered from the illness, according to Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg. The hardest-hit province of Upper Austria, located between the German and Czech borders, plans to implement the measure starting Monday. Under the new rules, those who haven’t had shots would only be allowed to leave home for work and to buy essential goods.
Medical Bills in Singapore
In Singapore, those who choose not to get their jabs will now have to pay for their own medical bills if they get Covid. Patients who receive therapeutics and stay in intensive care units may have to pay about S$25,000 ($18,460), according to a median estimate released by the health ministry.
Cash in Lithuania
Many countries in Europe require vaccination certs to enter bars and restaurants, but Lithuania has gone a step further. Citizens over 16 must provide Covid immunity certificates to enter any restaurant or cafe, shopping malls, cinemas, beauty salons or any other public indoor premises or events. The rule will be tightened further from end of December and will apply to everyone over 12-years.
The government also plans to starting paying 100 euros ($114) to people over age 75 who get their two doses between Sept. 1 and Nov. 30, or who get a booster shot before March 31.
Mandate in U.S.
U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration issued an emergency rule forcing large private employers to require vaccination or regular testing. The Labor Department said the mandate will apply to companies with 100 or more employees and set a Jan. 4 deadline. Failure to comply could trigger fines of as much as $136,000.
About 5% of unvaccinated workers left their jobs when their employer imposed a vaccine mandate, according to an October survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Estonia Firings
Many public agencies required that employees get vaccinated or face dismissal. Fifty unvaccinated employees of the police and border guard agency are suing their agency over this policy and on Thursday a court granted them temporary relief pending further review of the policy.
Estonia also requires vaccine passports at public venues such as restaurants and gyms – negative tests are no longer accepted.
Forced Leave in Ukraine
In Ukraine, teachers and government officials who aren’t fully vaccinated have been sent on unpaid leave from earlier this week. Restaurants, shopping malls and fitness centers are allowed to operate only if 100% of their staff got shots. Public transport across the country is available only for vaccinated people. -

Isn't stl1 also worried about white supremacist terrorists? Or is that just Technologist?
Look at history, and all the crazy wars that Anglos have fought for no reason. And the panics that they have had about unrealistic threats. Being a insane paranoid lunatic nutjob is an old Anglo tradition. It's their culture, star trek. -

Not that covid is 100% fake however. For instance Survival Russia had it a few weeks ago (about the same time I did), and had to get supplemental oxygen in hospital. And I still have a socially embarrassing and annoying persistent cough from it. It's a real, and very annoying, disease.
Personally I hope to see the people who made and funded it hang. -

2021-11-14 at 3 PM UTCNov 12: The Fifth Circuit Court Has Reaffirmed a Stay on OSHA's Vaccine Mandate.
The Agency may "take no steps to implement or enforce the Mandate until further court order"

"...From economic uncertainty to workplace strife, the mere specter of the Mandate has contributed to untold economic upheaval in recent months. Of course, the principles at stake when it comes to the Mandate are not reducible to dollars and cents. The public interest is also served by maintaining our constitutional structure and maintaining the liberty of individuals to make intensely personal decisions according to their own convictions—even, or perhaps particularly, when those decisions frustrate government officials.
"The Constitution vests a limited legislative power in Congress. For more than a century, Congress has routinely used this power to delegate policymaking specifics and technical details to executive agencies charged with effectuating policy principles Congress lays down. In the mine run of cases—a transportation department regulating trucking on an interstate highway, or an aviation agency regulating an airplane lavatory—this is generally well and good.
"But health agencies do not make housing policy, and occupational safety administrations do not make health policy. Cf. Ala. Ass’n of Realtors, 141 S. Ct. at 2488–90. In seeking to do so here, OSHA runs afoul of the statute from which it draws its power and, likely, violates the constitutional structure that safeguards our collective liberty.
"For these reasons, the petitioners’ motion for a stay pending review is GRANTED. Enforcement of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s “COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing; Emergency Temporary Standard” remains STAYED pending adequate judicial review of the petitioners’ underlying motions for a permanent injunction.
"In addition, IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that OSHA take no steps to implement or enforce the Mandate until further court order."

Circuit Court Judge Kurt Engelhardt wrote that "the mandate is staggeringly overbroad" calling it "a one-size-fits-all sledgehammer that makes hardly any attempt to account for differences in workplaces (and workers)." https://news.yahoo.com/court-affirms-hold-biden-vaccine-194357513.htmlThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

It’s not mandated till January 4th, so this is holding nothing up. It very well may end up in the Supreme Court where there is already a precedent for this😁
No different that any other vaccine mandate. Once approved by the FDA, it’s just like all the other vaccines in the govt’s eyes.
