The Supreme Court recently issued its decisions in two federal vaccine mandate cases, Biden v Missouri and National Federation of Independent Business v. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Several states and interest groups sought emergency relief on regulations issued by OSHA as well as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

The OSHA rule mandated large employers to require vaccination or regular testing of their employees. CMS required vaccination of staff at health care facilities participating in Medicare or Medicaid programs. The Court granted a stay of the OSHA rule pending merits review in the Sixth Circuit, but stayed an injunction of the CMS rule allowing it to go into effect.

Joining today to discuss these decisions are, in order of appearance:
1) David Dewhirst, Solicitor General, Montana
2) Professor Dorit Reiss, James Edgar Hervey '50 Chair of Litigation, UC Hastings Law
3) Professor Ilya Somin, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University
