Issue 1: Does OSHA have the authority to make such a mandate?
Issue 2: Unlike other PPE, an injection permanently alters a person's biology, or at least that is the intent.
It cannot be removed at the end of the work day. Considering there is a liability waiver for the manufacturer,
That permanent alteration cannot be addressed in civil court if the results are harmful.
Issue 3: Allowance for religious or other (medical) objections is not being made in some workplaces.
Issue 4: The testing/mask option may not be available in some workplaces because of other OSHA regulations: In my workplace all outerwear is required to meet NFPA 2112 Flame Resistance protocols. To my knowledge, there are no masks which comply with NFPA 2112. Because the confluence of these regulations would offer no choice but to be injected or lose my job, I would suffer loss of employment by decree, regardless of competence, should I have a religious or medical objection to taking the shots.
