    I think the mandate’s true purpose is to end the pandemic in the US and save lives.

      So you agree with the court's assessment that the mandate's purpose was to "ramp up vaccine uptake by any means"?

        What is the ultimate purpose of ramping up vaccine uptake?

        But ending obesity would save 10x as many lives. Therefor saving lives is obviously not the point at all.

        I'm sorry to pile on, having already replied to you twice, but your flamewar comments in this thread have been one of the worst cases of on-tiltness and breaking the site guidelines that I've run into in quite a while (and that's saying something!) Fortunately your previous commenting history looks great. Please don't do this again. I realize that divisive topics entail strong feelings, especially when encountering views that we consider to be deeply wrong—but that's when it gets more important to follow the site guidelines. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29214068 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29214068 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29214041 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29214041

        The ends don't justify the means. There's a vast difference between a measure designed to directly improve safety in the workplace (ie. "let's make vaccines mandatory if you want to work, so there won't be workplace infections"), and a measure designed to punish non-complying citizens (ie. "let's make vaccines mandatory if you want to work, so non-vaccinated people have to vaccinate, otherwise be ruined financially").

      There is no pandemic. There is only low single digit thousands of 'deaths' that did not have co-morbidities such as being shot in the head, hit by a car or having terminal cancer "with covid". Not my words - this is straight out of CDC. Also, we now know "Dr." Fauci funded gain-of-function research at Wuhan, again his own agency's admission. The only thing we need to do to end this pandemic is arrest and fully prosecute the following people: * London Breed * Gavin Newsom * Dr. Fauci * Barbara Ferrer * Rachel Walensky (many more but that's a start)

  The 'pandemic emergency' ended last July when this became an endemic disease among many mammalian populations, including humans and deer.
