The Department of Justice on Monday published an opinion indicating that coronavirus vaccine mandates are legal despite only being approved for emergency use.
The judgment was brought to light as areas across the country have either mulled or implemented shot mandates in some capacity amid a surge in cases. The Food and Drug Administration’s emergency use go-ahead “does not prohibit public or private entities from imposing vaccination requirements for vaccines that are subject to EUAs,” the DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel wrote. Citizens have a right to be “‘informed’ of certain information, including ‘the option to accept or refuse administration of the product,'” though businesses, government, and other entities are not prohibited from requiring doses from Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson and Johnson, all of which have received only emergency use authorizations, the DOJ added.
None of the shots have been given a set date for full FDA approval, though health officials, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Joe Biden’s chief medical adviser, are confident the vaccinations will be given the OK from the government body. However, both federal and local entities have opted not to wait for the FDA to mandate vaccinations.

The only problem is that the constitution says it’s not legal.

Hint – made up quotations from antivax conspiracy websites do not count.
That’s a very “iffy” argument, before there is a full FDA approval, which will be challenged in courts, without a doubt.
On the one hand, an employer is allowed to dictate the terms of employment, as long as those are reasonable and do not place the employees in risk.
While that is the state of today’s Coronavirus vaccines, the very fact that they haven’t yet been fully approved allows the refusers to claim possible risks.
Perhaps, the DOJ is paving the ground for mandates after the imminent authorization of the vaccines. However, doing so preemptively only adds to the anger and refusal of the unvaccinated crowds.
Paul Pelosi did nothing wrong.
Even after full FDA approval, this is still so un-American and absurd.
Full FDA approval does not mean 100% safe. As long as its not 100% safe, no political entity has any right to require it.
If an employer chooses to require it as a condition of employment, that’s a different matter. While still wrong, at least there you can opt out of the shot and can try to find employment elsewhere.
But for a political entity to require it is simply wrong, even after full FDA approval.
