. >> question for you from william in middletown, connecticut.s are these mandating companies, assuming he means the companies affected by the forthcoming rule, protected from lawsuits like the federal and state government, hospitals, municipalities, et cetera? >> yes, and that's one of the real advantages of this rule. i talk to many large employers. i speak to large employer groups all the time. many large employers who wanted to increase vaccination rates among their employees would check with their general counsels and the counsel will say, if we require everyone to get vaccinated, we're going to get sued. and we may succeed, we may fail, but it's going to cost you money. you don't really want to get into that. now, these employers can point to the federal government and say, look, we're required to do this. this is not a choice. so if you want to sue someone, sue the federal government, not us. this protects all these employers. lets them focus on what they need to focus on, which is the work they need to do, and not worry about being sued.
