I am horrified by attorneys who have the chutzpah to proffer specious arguments that have no medical rationale. Thank the judge who has a functioning brain

LAUSD lawyer must have gotten an A in obfuscation.

What an embarrassment! Thank you, Dr. Been for your laborious trouble to transcribe. That activity would have driven me to the brink!

A simpler, more fundamental argument applies to all vaccine mandates where the vaccine is known to kill a percentage of recipients: “Vaccines are known to occasionally cause deaths of healthy people. When an employee is required to receive vaccination as a condition of employment, that employee is economically coerced to participate in an activity where a percentage of employees are expected to die ‘in the course of employment’ as a direct result of the mandated activity. This goes against the fundamental principles of medical ethics and workplace safety. It may be objected that infectious pathogens also kill people, but these two categories of deaths are not ethically equivalent. Infection with a pathogen is not mandated, whereas deaths resulting from mandatory vaccination are mandated deaths, a legalised killing of some people for the prospective benefit of the majority. Critically, any discrimination against the unvaccinated amounts to a violation of the right to life, because a small percentage of the targeted population are expected to die as a result of this coercive treatment.” https://michaelkowalik.substack.com/p/why-vaccine-mandates-are-unethical
