Gov. Kate Brown (D-OR) is being sued by police and firefighter groups over the state's vaccine mandate, according to FOX 12.
The governor's vaccine mandate announced August 19 is outlined on the state's website. It's worth highlighting that submitting to testing is no longer a valid alternative:
The language communicated above also suggests that those who have not yet gotten vaccinated will suddenly decide to do so once they talk to a doctor. That can certainly be a benefit to people who want to know more about the benefits and any risks to them getting vaccinated based on their own individual circumstances. It is far too simplistic though to suggest that the need for questions to be answered is the only reason why some people may not wish to get the vaccine.
Perhaps no hypocrisy is more ironic than the executive staff at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) emphatically calling for vaccine mandates in an opinion piece for The New York Times.
Gov. Brown also last week issued a mask mandate for most outdoor settings, regardless of vaccine status. It's a pointless mandate, and people know it. As Drew Marine reported last weekend for the local news outlet, "Many Oregon State Fair attendees went without masks as statewide outdoor mask mandate now in effect.".....snip~
