Why a conservative Supreme Court overturned one vaccine mandate but upheld a second

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

The Supreme Court issued rulings on two critical cases involving the Biden Administration's vaccine mandates amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The justices said the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is not allowed to implement a rule requiring employers with more than 100 workers to have their workers either get vaccinated for the virus or test weekly and wear a mask in the office. In the other case, the court upheld a vaccine mandate imposed by the Department of Health and Human Services on health care facilities that receive funding from Medicare or Medicaid. We wanted to dig into these decisions on their merits, and look at what they mean for the future, so we caught up with Craig Green, Professor of Law at Temple University's Beasley School of Law.
