Why is there no discussion of limited liability for companies regarding Covid 19? The topic was hot early on but not a peep now. Companies are being forced by federal mandates to inoculate their employees. Why, as Southwest is learning, would they jeopardize their operations for an unlawful requirement? There is no force of law behind Bidens’s edict. What is behind it is the powerful Democrat funding group; the trial lawyers of America.
Whether you comply or ignore the mandate, the spigot will open up for a deluge of personal injury lawsuits. That is, those who refuse to get the vaccine will sue for wrongful termination, back pay, resumption of careers and whatever else the lawyer can throw in. Those who took the vaccine and had adverse reactions will get medical malpractice thrown in with the charges of violating right-to-work laws. Those who work at companies that did not follow the mandate will be represented by lawyers arguing their client was put a severe risk and God forbid, they contract the disease, get sick, have to be hospitalized and die….well you can see the zero’s adding up.
Having shuffled any discussion of limited liability for employers off to the garbage bin, the possibilities for litigation have ballooned and all at the expense of we citizens. Just another example of how this administration is looking out for we little people and how the Republicans retreated once again.
