Reply to comment by HoneydewOk1731 in Massdot is allegedly asking Unvaccinated workers to come back to work by WetLump

There's plenty of basis for the ruling to be overturned, he's generally an outlier in terms of opinions.

Insofar as when you’re infected, sure. However, the original vaccine (and at the time of the mandate) reduced your chance of getting infected by 5x. So yeah, still indirectly reduces transmission.

Are we more concerned with the merit of the ruling or the popularity of the judge? Get a grip

I don't see much merit in the ruling or proposed remedy.

The judge being frequently out of step with his colleagues is quite notable, as it's a bunch of his colleagues that will decide an appeal. If they all ruled pretty similarly, we could say it's unlikely for an appeal to succeed. If one guy is frequently way out of line with the views of others - it's much more likely for his decisions to get overturned on appeal.
