Prohibiting COVID-19 vaccine mandates in private employers
A Blog about No Vaccine Mandates 2023
A Bit of Background
The following backgrounds help summarize the author's views on both the general topic: Federal and more specifically No Vaccine Mandates 2023 as it relates to that topic.
Brief Summary of Federal
This should be a fairly limited bills area for management the overall structures like highways, military, federal buildings, federal laws, and the like. However it has become the micro manager of all micro managers. They get involved in areas that no federal government should be involved in, and shift more power upward. This has led to each party trying to run over the other party in the eyes of the voters, all the while doing everything possible to maintain their power. They do this by holding onto all of the money, and claiming they know best how it should be spent. But they run debts so badly that no one should be looking to them as an example of anything other than the way to overspend and go further into debt.

Prohibiting COVID-19 vaccine mandates in private employers
Published: 2023-11-17
If an entity takes funds from a COVID relief package, then they may not mandate that their employees receive a COVID-19 vaccine. If they do or did mandate this, then they must return the funds. This includes funds from the following:
- CARES Act;
- Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2020;
- Families First Cornavirus Response Act;
- Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act;
- Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021; and
- American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
My issues with this bill are twofold. First, it sets rules based upon past events. It's going back in time to tell business what they could not do if they were to take funds, but not telling them until later. Just wrong. Second, it tells private companies what they may or may not do. Either way, mandating or not, this is just wrong. This is not a safety issue and should not be mandated, but company may choose to do what they want. The government, at any level, should not use their power to coerce the company to do what it wants.
