BIDEN v. MISSOURI 

THOMAS, J., dissenting 

* 

* 

* 

These  cases  are  not  about  the  efficacy  or  importance  of 
COVID–19  vaccines.    They  are  only  about  whether  CMS
has the statutory authority to force healthcare workers, by
coercing  their  employers,  to  undergo  a  medical  procedure
they  do  not  want  and  cannot  undo.  Because  the  Govern-
ment  has  not  made  a  strong  showing  that  Congress  gave
CMS that broad authority, I would deny the stays pending 
appeal.  I respectfully dissent.
