State Supreme Court found that being vaccinated 'does not' stop the spread of COVID-19
A New York state Supreme Court ordered all New York City employees who were fired for not being vaccinated to be reinstated with back pay.
The court found Monday that "being vaccinated does not prevent an individual from contracting or transmitting COVID-19." New York City Mayor Eric Adams claimed earlier this year that his administration would not rehire employees who had been fired over their vaccination status.
NYC fired roughly 1,700 employees for being unvaccinated earlier this year after the city adopted a vaccine mandate under former Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Many of those fired were police officers and firefighters.
FDNY-Uniformed Firefighters Association President Andrew Ansbro and FDNY-Uniformed Fire Officers Association President Lt. James McCarthy condemned Adams earlier this year after the mayor allowed an exception to the vaccine mandate for athletes and performers, even as firefighters were still being fired over their status. The pair called on the city to expand the exception to all New Yorkers.
"We're here to say that we support the revocation of the vaccine mandate that the mayor announced on Thursday," McCarthy said. "We think that it should be extended as well. We support the revocation of the mandate for the athletes and performers that work in New York City. We think that the people that work for New York City should also have the mandate relocated for them."
"If you're going to remove the vaccine mandate for certain people in the city, you need to remove it for everybody in the city," Ansbro said. "If you're going to follow the science, science is going to tell you there isn't any danger right now, and putting hundreds of firefighters, …

Nice
Victory! Onward!
GOOD!......................
The state supreme courts are the lowest - not highest - courts in NY. Just FYI.
This is going to be expensive! 😊
Good news!
Super sweet! Now, DOH-D gonna reinstate folks relieved of duty?
And so it begins....
Suck it, covidites...
Time to pay up
That is a strange ranking you have there in NY. Two levels above Supreme. Wow
At 150,000 each we are talking over $250 million. They spend than that housing the illegal immigrants.
That's why the unions representing these workers didn't go to bat for them and fight the mandates ... because the vast majority of the union members were Branch Covidian fools.
I think my state’s courts should add a disclaimer to every decision, “ this Supreme Court is the trial court not the highest court in NY”. Out of staters are rightly confused by the name Supreme Court.
Leftard post disaster retroactive so-called wisdom. Closing the barn door after the horses escaped. Creating the mess and then taking credit for ‘fixing it’.
Good for the fired employees though but totally unnecessary.
Not exactly that supreme then are they?
A shocker!
Now what about manslaughter charges for all those old folks homes who assisted, through zero care, those thousands of old folks into the ground...
good news- but now those who were coerced to take the jab should be able to sued for damages now too
Awesome!!
$$s most saddened.
cuomo says, “whattabout me?”
What if the "vaccines" actually DID stop infection/transmission, but still had their high incidence of adverse reactions, permanent damage to immune systems, or whatever? Based on this ruling, they could still be mandated because they did stop infection/transmission. But they would also still be dangerous, not to mention entirely unnecessary (because 99.7%+ of the population is not remotely threatened by "COVID").
NO MANDATES! Period.
