On Friday, The Epoch Times<\/a> reported that even as an appeals court upheld vaccine mandates, private companies are dropping employee vaccine mandates.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

More and more businesses in recent days have walked back previous rules mandating COVID-19<\/a> vaccine sas a condition for employment in a bid to keep workers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Amtrak<\/a>\u2014a quasi-public corporation\u2014became the latest to rescind its vaccine requirement amid concerns about staff shortages and cut service in January. In a memo sent to staff that was\u00a0obtained<\/a> by The Epoch Times, Amtrak CEO William Flynn said the company would do away with the mandate that would have given employees until Jan. 4 to get fully vaccinated or go on unpaid leave.<\/strong><\/p>\n

About 500 out of more than 17,000 Amtrak workers remain unvaccinated, according to the memo. Still, the sudden loss of that many workers would have caused service disruptions, Flynn suggested, while noting that Amtrak was acting in accordance with recent court orders handed down against President Joe Biden\u2019s sweeping vaccine mandates.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Several hospitals and healthcare systems have similarly rescinded vaccine mandates for employees and cited labor issues that were triggered by the new requirements. In early December, Florida\u2019s AdventHealth announced the end of its vaccine requirement for some 83,000 workers, also citing the several recent court injunctions against federal mandates.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cDue to recent decisions by the federal courts to block the [Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services] vaccine mandate, we are suspending all vaccination requirements of our COVID-19 vaccination policy,\u201d AdventHealth Chief Clinical Officer Neil Finkler said in a letter to staff. The move came after the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services confirmed<\/a> to The Epoch Times that the agency suspended enforcement following two court orders several weeks ago.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Public pressure works. Any medical procedure has risks. It is up to individuals to weigh risk and benefit. Somehow those in our government seem to have overlooked the risk part. They have also chosen to overlook natural immunity. It’s time Americans began retaking control of their lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
