Oregon Police and Firefighters Sue Governor Over COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate

BY TOM OZIMEK September 4, 2021 Updated: September 4, 2021

A coalition of Oregon police officers and firefighters have sued Gov. Kate Brown over a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for state employees.

The plaintiffs—including the Oregon Fraternal Order of Police and the Kingsley Firefighters Association—argued in a lawsuit filed Friday in a Jefferson County court (pdf) that Brown’s executive order violates a number of laws and want it blocked.

“Plaintiffs seek an order declaring EO No. 21-29 is unenforceable because it conflicts with Oregon statutes, would result in a common law wrongful discharge of the Plaintiffs, conflicts with the Oregon Constitution’s guarantee of free expression, and conflicts with the United States Constitution guarantee of equal protection, free exercise, and due process,” the complaint states.

Brown issued an executive order (pdf) on Aug. 13 that imposed a mandatory vaccine requirement on all executive branch employees. In the order, Brown said that, to date, around 70 percent of the state’s executive branch employees had taken the vaccine voluntarily, prompted in part by state efforts like organizing onsite vaccine clinics and financial incentives.

Citing the rise in COVID-19 infections and noting that both private and public employers across the United States have imposed mandates, Brown said it was time for tougher measures in Oregon.

“With the Delta variant raging in Oregon, with the state’s ability to fully return to in-person work continuing to be hampered by the risks from COVID-19, having implemented a series of incentives aimed at achieving voluntary compliance, and with full FDA approval of the COVID-19 vaccine expected within weeks, the time has come for any remaining state employees and those who work alongside them in state government to get vaccinated,” she wrote in the order.

Ten days after Brown’s order, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave full regulatory approval to the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.

The order gives Oregon state workers until Oct. 18 to provide proof of vaccination or face consequences that could include dismissal.

The plaintiffs argued in the complaint that enforcement of the order would result in wrongful termination, and they have asked the court to declare it unlawful and block its enforcement.

“The individual plaintiffs are Executive Branch employees … who want to exercise control over their own medical treatment and are being forced to choose between their rights privileges and liberties as citizens on the one hand and their employment, careers, and financial futures on the other,” the complaint states.

The Epoch Times has reached out to the governor’s office for comment on the suit.

Brown’s spokesperson Liz Merah defended the executive order in a statement to The Associated Press.

“Given the seriousness of the situation, employer vaccine requirements have become an important tool, and state government plays a part. It’s critical to protect state workers, workplaces, and facilities, as well as members of the public who use state services,” she told the outlet.

The lawsuit comes as Oregon has faced a sharp rise in COVID-19 infections in recent weeks, with a seven-day average of 2,222 daily cases on Sept. 2, compared to fewer than 500 in mid-July, according to state health authorities.

Israel's 'Coronavirus Czar' Tells Citizens To Prepare For Eventual 4th Shot

As we've been detailing of late, the goalposts in ultra-vaxxed Israel keep perpetually moving after health authorities' recent initiative to demand all citizens get a third COVID jab. This even as this past week witnessed the small Mediterranean country reach yet more daily case records.

Despite the WHO coming out against countries giving their populations booster shots at this point, Israel has as of Friday issued a third dose to 2.5 million Israelis. Given the likelihood that this too will fail to blunt the growing numbers of infections, naturally the question is: so what next?

You can't make this up, health authorities are providing this "answer": "Israel’s national coronavirus czar on Saturday called for the country to begin making preparations to eventually administer fourth doses of the coronavirus vaccine," The Times of Israel reports.



The 'coronavirus czar', Professor Salman Zarka made the statements to Kan national broadcaster:

"Given that that the virus is here and will continue to be here, we also need to prepare for a fourth injection."

As if bluntly admitting that the country will continue with the very simplistic strategy of 'throwing more shots' at the problem, Zarka added, "This is our life from now on, in waves."

This also all but ensures that the controversial "Green Pass" system will also likely continue expanding and being "updated" indefinitely. Already authorities have said that this form of a 'vaccine passport' which gives the holder entry to specified public venues like restaurants, gyms, and publish worship spaces, is subject to expiration depending on if the holder received their second or third dose of the vaccine.


Israel daily new cases
Now Israelis can look forward to a "pass" that will be dependent on getting a fourth vaccine.

Presumably if a forth jab is in the works, the Green Pass will at the same time eventually be voided for people only on their third dose of COVID-19 vaccine.

Unvaccinated after two doses? Israel was also the first to start talking openly about the "pandemic of the vaxxed"...


Given the pass is good for six months since the last jab, this means Israelis might be ordered to get a fourth shot in a mere half-year... and on and on it will go, apparently.

We give it a mere months if not weeks before officials start floating a 5th future shot, or even a 6th. There will be no end.

Totally agreed. I didn't have the time to look at blockchain yet but since it is an online custodial service and not a real wallet, I won't bother with it. It's like a bank, might use your money as they like, including stealing it like mtgox.com.

No online "wallets", that makes sense. Not comfortable with a hardware wallet because it might be stolen, lost, etc.         

A desktop/mobile software wallet, that is the deal.

Thanks!

In the case of coinbase, they require the user's phone number and I find that bizarre considering the purpose of a crypto wallet. I'll try blockchain it's been around since the beginning.


Thank you for your thorough reply!
All I wanted to say is there are too many wallets to choose from, and being new to crypto, I want to open a wallet that is relatively easy to use ant that is secure compared to other available counterparts.

I remember back in the days somebody who was given bitcoin as gift so that he would use a wallet or a miner, It was a couple years back, i can't remember exactly what it was.

 

Hi!

This wallet thing is way too confusing for a newbie like me..

One simple question: Best free BTC wallet for a beginner that works both on desktop and mobile?

Thanks in advance!

Peace, everybody!
newbie here!

If only I agreed to open a wallet with a free bitcoin; yes, one entire completely free bitcoin totally free.
If only I listened to Yeti, good Lord..But at the time, who would've thunk it...In two thousand something, if somebody comes in and tells you that one bitcoin will be worth 47000 dollars would you have believed them?! Yeti must be rich now, good for him, smart guy.
