People who were forced to get the jab against their will are going to opt out of the booster if their company policy changed during that time. Their plan to have corporations do their bidding was short sighted, overall ineffective,  and pissed off millions of people in the process.

It is legal for a company and State to require a vaccine that IS FDA approved. The government requiring it does not shield the company from enforcing the illegal mandate. The company has a responsibility to their employees, the employees do not work for the government. The company should be the ones suing the government, not their employees. Since the mandate was illegal and there is no FDA approved vaccine, anyone who sues should win whatever damages they have. Anyone who was forced to get it and can prove they were forced or lose their job, should also be able to sue but would be harder to prove they didn't willingly get the shot.

Companies would be sued under 2 things, EUA and denying exemptions.

The government and companies could be held responsible but that will take years for those trials to happen if they ever would.
