Serious question- why don’t the bluest states just create and enforce their own workplace vaccine mandate?
The mandate that got shut down by the Supreme Court seems to cut firmly through party lines with Republicans being anti- mandate and Democrats being pro-mandate. But it appears that blue states could just copy and paste Biden’s vaccine mandate and apply it at the state level. This will have a hell of an easier time being legal than a national executive mandate. However, while I have seen a healthcare worker mandate being applied among states I have not seen a general workplace mandate among many states at all (if any).
