Council Receives Update on Federal Vaccine Mandate
COVID-19 vaccine mandates were a topic of discussion at Monday night’s Sheridan City Council meeting.. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.
City of Sheridan Human Resources Director Heather Doke updated the Council and Mayor Rich Bridger Monday night on the vaccine mandate for employers with over 100 employees to require their workers to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Doke said the City has a couple of different options to put them in compliance with the mandate.
Councilman Clint Beaver asked Doke about a policy that would need to be drafted as part of the mandate.
Doke said the City currently has around 180 employees and that number grows to over 200 in the summer with seasonal hires. City Attorney Brendon Kerns talked about the legislation that came out of the recent special session of the Wyoming Legislature.
On Friday, a U.S. appeals court upheld its decision to put on hold the federal vaccine mandate for companies with 100 or more employees to require their workers to be vaccinated for COVID-19.

The third dose in increases immunity, so after the fourth dose you are protected. Once 80% of the population has received the fifth dose, the restrictions can be relaxed as the sixth dose stops the virus from spreading. I am calm and believe that the seventh dose will solve our problems and we have no reason to fear the eighth dose. The clinical phase of the ninth dose confirms that the antibodies remain stable after after the tenth dose. The eleventh dose guarantees that no new mutations will develop, so there is no longer any reason to criticize the idea of the twelfth dose.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has suspended the implementation of its federal vaccine mandate affecting roughly 80 million workers in the U.S. after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit granted a motion to stay its COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS). The constitution wins.

With any luck the 10 Circuit will follow suit soon.

This is a very very serious problem forcing people to get vaccinated. I’m afraid that many nurses an staff will quit as a result putting such a shortage of workers that it will put many patients at risk. I never thought I would ever see a communistic approach by our government. It’s a sad day in America!
