Joe Biden's Covid vaccine rules to set off barrage of legal challenges

My bet is that with respect to that statutory authority, they're on pretty strong footing given the evidence strongly suggesting the degree of risk that (unvaccinated individuals) pose, not only to themselves but also unto others, said University of Connecticut law professor Sachin Pandya.
