A person's choice to decline vaccinations does not outweigh public health and safety requirements in medical settings, a federal judge ruled in a Montana case.

The Montana law made it illegal for a person to be denied services, goods or employment based on their vaccine statusA person's choice to decline vaccinations does not outweigh public health and safety requirements in medical settings, a federal judge ruled in aU.S.

The Montana Legislature passed the first-in-the-nation law in 2021, about a year into the pandemic as some people, businesses and Republican lawmakers were pushing back on health care measures enacted to prevent the spread of the virus that has now killed more than 1 million people in the United States. Just over 3,600 Montana residents have died from COVID-19, state officials say.Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter.

Dr. Deborah Birx, former coronavirus response coordinator for the Trump Administration, testified Thursday before a congressional committee about early missteps in the pandemic. “Creating the sense among the American people that [COVID-19] would… have the fatalities equivalent to flu created a sense among the American people that this was not going to be a serious pandemic.”

The Montana law made it illegal for a person to be denied services, goods or employment based on their vaccine status. The law did not change vaccine requirements at schools or daycare facilities or eliminate a person's right to seek a religious or medical exemption. Republican lawmakers who supported the bill said it was needed in response to employers threatening to fire workers who would not get vaccinated.

Of course!

Wow, common sense reigns. In Montana of all places! 😂

Nope

How about vaccines that don't actually vaccinate you against catching or carrying a disease?

Don't accept, appeal to higher court.

So, the government continues to demonstrate that they believe individual citizens cannot be trusted to make their own choices?

N.J. public workers, towns push big changes to avert massive health insurance rate hikesThey warn property tax hikes could come from double-digit rate hikes on public worker health benefits that are set to go into effect January 1. The entire public system (Benefits/Pensions) is unsustainable. None of the Trenton trough feeders (D&R) have the fortitude to make the changes. The changes also include reducing the public workforce. Here's the best answer, and one that I regret not having done. Buy UnitedHealtcare stock. It is up over 900% in 10 years, and that's without dividends.

Utah's 2023 goals: Make health care more affordable, improve maternal healthAdvocates and community leaders in Utah's health care system gathered Wednesday to discuss issues they hope to resolve; as well as what they are doing to make a difference in the health system — through their own organizations or through policy changes at the Utah Legislature Let’s cap how much people can take others to court or maybe everyone has to pay something when they show up to the ER. Less people will show up to the ER for simple things as a common cold. Maybe people that get free healthcare should be required to teach a course or attend preventative health classes. If the people that have free healthcare can afford fancy cars, cell phones, cable TV, access soda, they should be able to afford to contribute to their healthcare!
