re: My brother is learning first hand about the vaccine requirement for employment debacle.

Yeah I'm not justifying it. This mandate will completely wreck our economy if it's allowed....it's almost scary how nicely this crash would play into the political elite reaping direct monetary benefits from China and Russia...I'm no conspiracist but you have to wonder if there's knowledge and intent here.

But companies that answer to shareholders have to mitigate risk, and some leaders (probably stupidly) have decided to err on the side of not losing the contracts over hoping the mandate is struck down.

Also there is just a metric shite ton of CYA memos and emails and "directives" going around corporate America right now. I'd bet 99% of it isn't worth the effort it took to type it out, it's simply a cover your arse tactic.
