Different countries are taking different approaches on the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. Austria is reinstating a lockdown, but only for the unvaccinated. According to The New York Times, it’s considered one of the first national lockdowns that specifically targets the unvaccinated. Latvia is banning lawmakers who are unvaccinated from doing their jobs. They are not allowed to participate in discussions or vote on legislation. They’re also getting pay docked for being unvaccinated.
In America, over 80 million people are affected under President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate for companies with more than 100 employed. But after a federal appeals court blocked it temporarily, businesses and employees are milling around in confusion. The three-judge panel wrote that the mandate likely “violates the constitutional structure that safeguards our collective liberty.” The appellate court’s ruling added that the mandate was “staggeringly overbroad.”
