vaccinations for all healthcare workers in facilities that participate in Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Rogers, who was appointed by President George W. Bush, said Saturday Florida’s complaint didn’t show the state would suffer “irreparable injury” if the mandate went into effect, noting the Florida plaintiffs said they “anticipate” the requirement will hurt the state and its workers but did not provide any evidence that it actually will.
The judge also shot down Florida’s argument that the federal government could strip funding from the state for its noncompliance with the mandate, saying “there is no evidence to suggest” the federal government would immediately revoke any funding when the policy takes effect. Rogers disputed Florida’s claims the vaccine mandate would violate the state’s sovereignty by clashing with state policy, ruling their argument “lacks merit.”in an email the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate is “outrageous” and the governor’s office is “working closely with the Attorney General’s office and exploring all our options.
