HHS’s Becerra Warns ‘People Will Die’ if SCOTUS Knocks Down Vaccine Mandate — ‘Will Be on Their Conscience’

Trent Baker 11 Jan 2022

Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra on Monday issued a grave warning if the U.S. Supreme Court were to strike down the Biden administration’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) mandate on COVID-19 vaccination for employers with 100 or more employees.

The court began hearing oral arguments on two separate legal challenges this week.

Becerra told “CNN Newsroom” that “people will die” if the mandate gets struck down. He added that would be on the justices’ “conscience.”

“[H]opefully the plan is that the Supreme Court will recognize that the federal government, the Biden administration has the authority to require these vaccines,” Becerra said. “We know they work. They save lives. We’ve proven it. Here at HHS, with 88,000 workers, nearly 100% of our workers are vaccinated already.”

Host Victor Blackwell asked, “And if they don’t?”

“And if they don’t, well, I think that will be on their conscience,” Becerra replied. “I think there’s some clear authority, legal authority, for us to move forward as we have proposed — both for the private sector workforce and for the health care workforce. And we understand that if we don’t get people vaccinated and covered this way, people will die, and if you’re a health care worker, for sure.”

Umm...they are already dying....

[GtHawk]

An incompetent competent AG for CA and a totally unqualified HHS Secretary says what? All these incompetents from Captain Dementia on down can't do anything except accuse, blame, guilt trip and fear monger...when they aren't playing the victim and race cards that is.

Live free or die.  This Becerra guy is the antithesis of the slogan as he doesn't represent your interests.

  "Choose to live and you choose to be a responsible, informed and active citizen in YOUR government and the people YOU have chosen to represent your interests within that government."

Work, how? THey do not stop people from getting or spreading the virus. that's an epic FAIL.

"They save lives" Unsubstantiated. People with the jabs are still dying. Some are dying of the jabs.

You haven't proven squat.

I don't care how many of you workers have the jabs, that's irrelevant. It's a measure of compliance, not health.


All of this is irrelevant to the basic Constitutional issue of whether the Federal Government has the power to demand that anyone put something irrevocably, in their body. The same government required a Constitutional Amendment to first Ban, then reinstate the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
That that Amendment was required indicates the Government did not have the power to demand that people consume or not consume ANYTHING, because it took a Constitutional Amendment to accomplish that. That authority was revoked with prohibition.

Wow.  What a load of steaming b.s.

People will also die because of the mandate - either because they get sick because of the vaccination, or because they lose their job for standing on principle and human rights, and starve.
