Judge blocks Biden vaccine rule, citing “liberty interests of the unvaccinated”

A federal judge yesterday blocked a Biden administration COVID-19 vaccine mandate for health care workers, granting a request for preliminary injunction filed by Republican attorneys general from 14 states.

US District Judge Terry Doughty ruled that the government lacks authority to implement the rule that "requires the staff of twenty-one types of Medicare and Medicaid healthcare providers to receive one vaccine by December 6, 2021, and to receive the second vaccine by January 4, 2022." Providers that don't comply face penalties, including "termination of the Medicare/Medicaid Provider Agreement."

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) mandate regulates over 10.3 million health care workers in the US, of which 2.4 million are unvaccinated. The Biden vaccine rule is being challenged by the attorneys general from Louisiana, Montana, Arizona, Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio. The Republican AGs' lawsuit was filed against CMS and the US Department of Health and Human Services.

The preliminary injunction they won applies nationwide except for 10 states that "are already under a preliminary injunction order dated November 29, 2021, issued by the Eastern District of Missouri," a court order said. Those states are Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, New Hampshire, Nebraska, Wyoming, North Dakota, and South Dakota.

What states did not participate in this lawsuit and were not covered by the earlier preliminary injunction — i.e. got swept into this decision?

California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District Of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

    She was for eugenics not based on race through birth control and abortion (but explicitly spoke against euthanasia of the already born). While Catholics might think that is equivalent to industrialized murder of races or ethnicities you don't like regardless of any other attribute of theirs ala the Nazis, most of the world is not that far gone. Do you have any other "Sanger liked Nazis" arguments other than false equivocation?

    We have a loser here. Margaret Sanger was most certainly invested in eliminating the Black, or Negro race.

    "We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population..."
    -- Letter to Dr. Clarence J. Gamble, December 10, 1939, p. 2

    “I accepted an invitation to talk to the women's branch of the Ku Klux Klan... I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak...In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered.”
    -- Margaret Sanger, An Autobiography, published in 1938, p. 366

    "... these two words [birth control] sum up our whole philosophy... It means the release and cultivation of the better elements in our society, and the gradual suppression, elimination and eventual extinction, of defective stocks -- those human weeds which threaten the blooming of the finest flowers of American civilization."
    -- Margaret Sanger, "High Lights in the History of Birth Control," Oct 1923.

    “All of our problems are the result of overbreeding among the working class... Knowledge of birth control is essentially moral. Its general, though prudent, practice must lead to a higher individuality and ultimately to a cleaner race.”
    -- Margaret Sanger, "Morality and Birth Control," Feb-Mar 1918.

    I'll grant that Sanger didn't lead KKK parades, nor did she visit the death camps in Germany to personally kill a few Jews. She probably didn't address black people to their faces as "nigger" or "Boy". But the bitch was far more racist than you can imagine. She often talked about the "weeds of society". To her, that meant Blacks, Slovaks, Asians, Native Americans, probably Mediteranean Euros, possibly even Germans. Let's remember that just a few generations ago, Germans weren't "white". Even in the 1950s, Slovaks weren't "white", nor were Italians. Sanger dreamed of a White World, just like Hitler did. A White World has room for Englishmen, Frenchmen, the Nordic peoples, and very little else.

      The "I'm not technically white so I can't technically be a cissy racist" defense.

        Wrong again. If a defense were needed, it would look more like, "You ignorant fools who can't tell an Englishman from a Slovak are in no position to judge anyone."

      That's a lot of words when you could have just said "no."

      P.S. there is a pretty major hint in that last quote.
