Feds: YOU must be vaxxed — but WE don’t have to be

Who watches the watchers? When it comes to the vaccination status of the federal government’s vaccine cops, it turns out: no one.
In January, a 5-4 Supreme Court decision ruled that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services could continue requiring the healthcare providers and suppliers it certified to ensure their staff — including employees, volunteers and anyone else providing care — are vaccinated against COVID-19 if they wanted to remain eligible for federal funding.
Initially, the surveyors who oversee compliance with this mandate were also required to be vaccinated, but in a June 16 memo, CMS simply gave them a pass: This “guidance does not include any possibilities of penalties for noncompliance,” and the federal government “prohibits facilities from inquiring about surveyor vaccination status,” it wrote.
Meaning: The government’s own mandate enforcers aren’t expected to follow the very rules they’re enforcing.
