It's not stopping my company from demanding it.
There's a difference between gubermint mandates and corporate mandates.
A federal judge in Georgia on Tuesday temporarily halted the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal contractors across the country.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge R. Stan Baker, an appointee of former President Trump, is the latest in a series of legal setbacks for President Biden as his administration seeks to blunt the effects of a global pandemic that has killed more than 788,000 people in the U.S.
“The Court acknowledges the tragic toll that the COVID-19 pandemic has wrought throughout the nation and the globe,” Baker wrote in a 28-page ruling. “However, even in times of crisis this Court must preserve the rule of law and ensure that all branches of government act within the bounds of their constitutionally granted authorities.”
Baker, whose order blocks the mandate while the case plays out in court, said the challengers were likely to prevail on their claim that Biden exceeded his authority with the public health measure.
Federal contractors were facing a Jan. 18 deadline to be fully vaccinated.
Late last month, a Kentucky-based federal judge issued a narrower ruling that blocked the federal contractor mandate in Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee. Tuesday’s ruling effectively extended the freeze nationwide.

Well, it will likely fall apart for corporations if the mandates keep failing. Simply because they will have a hard time filling positions as people will migrate to companies that don't require it.
Give it time.
GE, 3M, and Verizon have also stopped forcing vaccinations…

And, oh yeah, HCA, the largest hospital chain in America. So that’s over a half-million employees set free right there.

This follows the federal district court stay of the Biden vaccine mandate for federal contractors
I knew to be cautiously optimistic. I’ve read that employers are being advised to move forward with the mandate even though it is currently being challenged in court.Religious exemption
My company waited two days after the judges ruling then sent an email that they’re moving forward as a company with the mandate. I’m seeing what options I have but not sure if there are any. Hopefully others have more success. It sucks that my livelihood is being threatened by this. All in a days work for the authoritarian leftists destroying our Country.
Time for a beer or two
Realistically how well will a religious exemption work? My company will be conducting interviews for all religious exemption requesting employees with senior management who will then decide to grant or deny. I’m not religious enough to pass an interview where they’re going to be judging if my responses are religious enough.
I’m cautiously optimistic this ruling sticks moving forward. Judge states this mandate serves as a regulation of public health rather than actually benefitting procurement of federal contracts.
