One of the comments there :

really feels like Calvinball at this point. Like I know it's just a stay order, but those citations are light compared to what you'd expect from something this high profile. Large parts of the order are just straight-up downplaying the fact that COVID has been one of the leading causes of workplace deaths in the last year.

Imagine actually fucking writing this about what was one of the top 3 causes of death in the US in September 2021: "And of course, this all assumes that COVID-19 poses any significant danger to workers to begin with; for the more than seventy-eight percent16 of Americans aged 12 and older either fully or partially inoculated against it, the virus poses—the Administration assures us—little risk at all."

Even if there's caselaw in favor of this stay, I can't see it for the forest of denialist bullshit because it's so painful to actually read an analysis like this. As a layperson, it's incredibly unenlightening. How do I know there's not some balancing tests they're just brushing by because they're just downplaying it this much?

What is with their obsession with just randomly including the date as a supporting argument in their rants?

Is it that they're so divorced from reality they have to constantly remind themselves, "hey, at least I know what month it is!", or are they just so destitute of other supporting arguments that they just made up a rule that on certain dates they're automatically correct?

Y'know, like Calvinball.

It's actually done for a reason, I think - they're yet again trying to hype the urgency.

Look, here's recent data showing things are bad! Can we take away what's left of your civil rights now?

How about now?

How about now?

Easy refutation: Prove it wasn't the flu.

Remember, the testing method they use has already been proven unreliable.
