. . . people need to know their rights. There were no legally enforceable mandates for the vaccine. The problem is most people don't have the pocketbook for legal fees to fight an employer on illegal activities.
HIPPA. I don't have to inform an employer of any medical condition.
Companies and randoms can NEVER ask you for medical records without consent. And it cannot result in a firing.
Yeah, it doesn't look like a Covid reckoning or correcting will be happening from the Surgeon General, does it?
He also nominated Makary for the FDA who is a great pick and a staunch branch covidians critic. Probably more important than SG, so maybe she won't be able to do much damage in this mostly representative, not decision making role.

MSNBC says Trump’s new FDA head Marty Makary has pushed debunked misinformation, such as COVID vaccines causing myocarditis.
The problem is NBC News & the CDC themselves have previously reported that COVID vaccines indeed cause myocarditis.
The internet is forever, clowns.

Well yes, but most employers and universities simply broke the law and demanded that all employees and students submit and provide a proof card, and fired and expelled those who did not.
WookieMan But you see that it took that one woman something like four years to sue and get a settlement.
And most of those cases are still pending, or were dismissed for yet other bullshit reasons.
More Trump Effect. Yesterday, Reuters ran a story headlined, “Wall St closes higher; small-caps hit record high after Trump nominates Bessent.” As the market’s reaction to his nomination as Treasury Secretary showed, Scott Bessent is highly qualified. He’s smart, he is a heterodox thinker, and became a quiet Trump supporter since before it was safe to do so. The biggest problem is that Scott managed one of George Soros’s many investment companies between 2011-2015. Scott worked for Soros even longer than that, and enjoyed a warm personal relationship with the far-left billionaire.
As ever, the situation is not as simple as it looks. Claims circulated on social media that Elon Musk strongly opposed Bessent’s nomination. If so, Elon was more diplomatic in his only public comment:
... Citing a Wall Street Journal article, conservative journalist and author Miranda Devine (700K followers), called Bessent a “quiet disrupter” who quit working for Soros in 2015 when he could no longer avoid the politics, and said the two men have not spoken for years.
No, I honestly don't think a woman should have that job.
Jay Bhattacharya will be the next NIH Director, and health research policy will be better off for it.
Jay’s nomination by President-Elect Trump to be Director of the National Institutes of Health has been a long time coming and is a hopeful signal that national health research policy is headed in the right direction.

I agree.
It's weird that Trump would nominate both Nesheiwat for SG and Bhattacharya for NIH, people who are at opposite ends of the Pfizer pfellation spectrum.
I just don't know how to interpret that contradiction.
Watching Fauci’s subtle and not so subtle insubordination, I realized that the Deep State had succeeded in taming Donald Trump by hemming him in with a public health emergency and supplanting his executive power by Rule of Medical Experts. ...
Now the real question is whether Trump will—after he is sworn in—change his tune and proclaim that he is open to considering the evidence that Fauci et al. sold him a bill of goods.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, she worked on the front lines in New York City treating thousands of Americans and helped patients in the aftermath of President Donald Trump's Historic Operation Warp Speed that saved hundreds of millions of lives.
It's pretty obvious that Trump even now is still fully owned by Pfizer, with comments like this just a few days ago when appointing pharma-shill Nesheiwat:

You can scan Substack and you’ll see an array of arguments against Trump’s picks, and many for good reason. There are dubious pharmaceutical ties, previous statements and beliefs, and a history of disconcerting actions, to say the least.
But the fact remains, the enemy is scared, and in the case of the recent NIH nominee, Jay Bhattacharya, there is a clear distinction between those who want one thing and those who want a totally different, draconian, life-controlling, life-sapping, other thing.
Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Francis Collins (who has cavalierly dismissed excess deaths due to the jab) do not like Bhattacharya in particular, thanks to his “Great Barrington Declaration” that has received 940,000+ signatures to date.
Trump names loyalist Kash Patel to serve as FBI director
WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has picked Kash Patel to serve as FBI director, turning to a fierce loyalist to upend America’s premier law enforcement agency and rid the government of perceived “conspirators.” It’s the latest bombshell Trump has thrown at the Washington establishment and a test for how far Senate Republicans will go in confirming his nominees.
“I am proud to announce that Kashyap “Kash” Patel will serve as the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” Trump posted Saturday night on Truth Social. “Kash is a brilliant lawyer, investigator, and ‘America First’ fighter who has spent his career exposing corruption, defending Justice, and protecting the American People.”
Trump picks billionaire Massad Boulos, Tiffany Trump’s father-in-law, as advisor on Middle East and Arab affairs
President-elect Donald Trump announced Sunday that he will tap his daughter Tiffany’s father-in-law Massad Boulos as his Senior Advisor to the President on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs.
“Massad is an accomplished lawyer and a highly respected leader in the business world, with extensive experience on the International scene,” Trump, 78, wrote on Truth Social.
“He has been a longtime proponent of Republican and Conservative values, an asset to my Campaign, and was instrumental in building tremendous new coalitions with the Arab American Community,” he added.
Boulos, who was born in Lebanon, runs Nigeria-based Boulos Enterprises, which produces and distributes mechanical equipment and motorcycles. His net worth is estimated in the billions of dollars, according to reports.

I was sorely tested yesterday when news broke of President Trump’s nomination to head the Drug Enforcement Agency: Florida Sheriff Chad Chronister. During the pandemic, Sheriff Chronister arrested Tampa Pastor Dr. Ronald Howard-Browne, who defied Florida’s short lockdown order and held several religious services anyway.
Sheriff Chronister also enforced a local covid curfew, and ordered punitive policies aimed at coercing unvaccinated deputies under his command to get the shots.
On the other hand, he may not have enforced all laws as enthusiastically as the covid laws. In at least one local news story, reporters indirectly quoted Sheriff Chronister as promising to focus on “public safety” rather than federal immigration laws. He didn’t come right out and say he wouldn’t help deport illegals, apparently, which was smart because that kind of thing, promising not to enforce the law, can get you removed from office in Florida.
Though vowing to focus on public safety, Chronister did release 165 ‘low level, non-violent’ prisoners during covid.
As to his politics, Chronister apparently donated $15K to Obama’s campaign, but more recently endorsed Governor DeSantis during the Republican primary, so he’s likely now a Republican. Still, Chronister is not well-liked by local conservatives who call him a woke Democrat plant. This Twitter thread helpfully rounds up a long list of anti-Chronister information.
I get it; Sheriff Chronister only enforced the laws at the time. We celebrated as heroes those Sheriffs who (rightly, in my view) refused to enforce what they concluded were unconstitutional laws. There may be more to the story; this Twitter poster claims Sheriff Chronister went back to the church and publicly apologized.
Apology or no, Sheriff Chronister was no covid hero. But more than that, Chronister’s covid policies alone raise serious questions whether he is ideologically aligned with the incoming Trump Administration.
As the more controversial Trump nominees have occasionally cropped up, I’ve repeatedly encouraged GTMTTW (give the man time to work). Now, I’ve been forced to take my own advice, which is pretty bitter. If I were in the Senate, I would vote not to confirm Sheriff Chronister.
I’ve said my piece, and I won’t make a song about it — I will assume Trump has a good reason for selecting this person for DEA, or maybe Chronister really has changed. But we don’t have to like it. During his confirmation hearings, Sheriff Chronister should be required to answer for his own words and decisions.
And he should have to wear a mask the whole time.

Trump’s DEA pick – who locked up a pastor during COVID-19 pandemic – withdraws from consideration after conservative backlash
President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Drug Enforcement Agency announced Tuesday that he will not take the job following conservative backlash to his nomination.
Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister – described by some conservatives as a “COVID tyrant” – bowed out just three days after being selected by Trump to lead the nation’s primary agency for combatting illegal drugs.
Chronister’s record as Hillsborough County sheriff – particularly at the height of the COVID-19 – came under scrutiny soon after his nomination.
On March 30, 2020, Chronister ordered the arrest of Ronald Howard-Browne, the pastor of The River at Tampa Bay Church, for allegedly flouting COVID-19 lockdown orders by holding services at his church.
