State Supreme Court reinstates employees fired for refusing vaccine

Very misleading story. To be accurate, it was a trial court that ordered the reinstatement. Unlike the Federal court system or virtually every other state court system in New York the highest level appellate court in not the Supreme Court. In New York State, the trial court is called the Supreme Court. The highest level appellate court iin New York State is the Court of Appeals and as matter of record the City is appealing the decision.
New York City appeals judge's ruling that could reinstate fired unvaccinated employees

Edit: I would also add that at least for now the only workers who are being reinstated are the named petitioners in the lawsuit.

Edit 2: What is "funny" is that OP didn't bother to do any research and he probably assumed that under the ruling the City would be immediately reinstating every terminated worker.

 

lets ask the cdc director who is twice vaxed, twice boosted, and now has covid how well the vaccines work.

 

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky tests positive for COVID-19 month after getting updated booster shot

 

Considering that the primary benefit of vaccines and boosters is the prevention of serious infections requiring hospitalization or even resulting in death I would say the vaccines work quite well. From the link.

 

"The science, moreover, as the court concluded Monday, shows the COVID-19 shots do not stop infection or transmission, which is the premise for any mandate."

If that was the sole basis for the requirement, it certainly doesn't seem to apply at least at this point. I suppose one could make an argument that reducing the severity of illness impacts readiness for city workers and first responders, but maybe that wasn't argued.

 

Yes I think this makes sense. I think the main argument for government involvement is transmissibility, as this makes the virus a communal problem rather than an individual problem.

 

but walensky said if you get the vaccine you will not get covid,liar

If she is not in the hospital or dead, then I would say her answer will be "exactly like they are supposed to". Just a shame so many Americans are too poorly educated to understand that.

 

I'm chuckling that the news source in the OP didn't know that New York's high court is the New York Court of Appeals.

 

They may have known. They just bet their readers didn't (correctly).

 

I haven’t been following her at all, but this part makes me wonder what is actually the state of our knowledge here.

“The CDC’s website, however, continues to say that vaccines only “reduce the risk of people spreading COVID-19” not that people “can’t” spread it post-vaccination.”

 

You do understand that you validated exactly what he said, right?

 

Hahahaha, so the wannabe dictator Obiden gets crushed yet again.

 

When the vast majority of Americans see the term "Supreme Court" they assume it was highest appellate court in the state. While technically accurate (the trial court in New York is called the "Supreme Court") the story was almost certainly intentionally deceptive with the intent being to create the illusion that the state's highest court ruled the policy of terminating employees who refused the vaccine was improper and mandating that the all of those terminated be reinstated. The only problem is that the decision was made by a trial level court in Staten Island, not the highest level appellate court in the state, it's being appealed by the City and the decision actually affects only those workers who filed the lawsuit, not every worker terminated for refusing to comply with the vaccine mandate.
