Federal judge upholds Indiana University's Covid-19 vaccination requirements

STAT News
When the FDA grants emergency use authorization for a vaccine, many questions about the product cannot be answered. Given the open questions, when Congress granted the authority to issue EUAs, it chose to require that every individual should be allowed to decide for himself or herself whether or not to receive an EUA product. The FDA and CDC apparently consider this fundamental requirement of choice important enough that even during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic they reinforced that policy decision when issuing their guidance related to the Covid-19 vaccines.
This means that an organization will likely be at odds with federal law if it requires its employees, students or other members to get a Covid-19 vaccine that is being distributed under emergency use authorization.
State law often prohibits retaliating against an employee for refusing to participate in a violation of federal law. Organizations that require Covid-19 vaccination in violation of federal law may face lawsuits under these state laws not only to block the policy but also for damages and attorneys’ fees.

Want to make something mandatory for individuals. Just have the FDA make something emergency use only.
New threats to liberties. So sad.

Wonder if IU medical has any ties to the development and profits from covid vaccinations?
Federal law specifically states that any medical treatment approved under an EUA can only be voluntary and it applies to all people in the United States.

If that's the actual law, then isn't the IU actually breaking the law therefore making this a criminal matter which should have law enforcement involved?

Texas upholds a Houston hospital's C19 shot as a condition of employment. I am against mandates of this vaccine. Get it or don't, while EUA, it's supposed to be a personal choice. At least a hospital has a veeeeery weak, though still invalid, leg to stand on from a risk of exposure standpoint.
A university mandate being upheld is pure garbage. Can't even plead risk. 18-22 year olds have near zero risk or morbidity and mortality from C19. Hey-Zues Murphy. Wonder if they mandate an annual flu shot? If they aren't, making the C19 injection a condition of enrollment is ever further far fetched.

I'm getting really damn tired of these lawsuits that don't go after the proper legal infraction.
