Haven't heard about...

So, it's in the news.  YOU have heard about it.  New York state fired medical workers that didn't get vaxxed.  I'm not surprising you with anything.

Which is odd if you ask me.

They are being replace by National Guard workers.  Not all the military has been vaxxed yet, so futher oddness.

Anyway.  Nurses.  Physician Assistants.  Even Switchboard Operators.  But what I haven't heard about is doctors.  Did they not fire unvaxxed doctors?  Kinda curious.  Maybe they don't want doctors to get upset for some reason.  They'll report 'medical workers' and doctors are covered in that, but no one interviews a Doc, asking him about why they aren't vaxxed.

Curious. 

And is it spelled vaxed or vaxxed?

Ah, wait, I see:

A federal judge last week gave a reprieve to 17 health care workers, including doctors, nurses, therapists and medical residents who sued the state, extending a temporary restraining order for enforcing the mandate against them until Oct. 12.

The reprieve only applies to them 17, not the rest of the healthcare workers in the state.  But it looks like doctors are impacted, they are just shy of reporters, I guess.

I'm also confused about the legal authority to do this.  Did the governor declare an emergency, claim emergency powers for herself, and then just make up edicts that have the force of law.  What's the limiting principle on this?  Why can't the legislature vote on some of this?  Or did they and I missed out on that part too?

Just wondering.

"What are you talking about T-Bolt.  The legislature passes a law about emergencies so action on it wouldn't be delayed."

Oh, yes, but, what if he goes nuts?  Does the legislature convene and vote on something that is veto-proof to withdraw his powers?  What if one of his edicts is no one can travel and meet like in a legislative body, making convening impossible?  State constitutional crisis.
