In a groundbreaking decision filed today, NY State (NYS) Supreme Court Judge Gerard Neri held that the COVID-19 vaccine mandate for healthcare workers is now “null, void, and of no effect.” The court held that the NYS Dept. of Health lacked the authority to impose such a mandate as this power is reserved to the state legislature. Furthermore, the court found that the mandate was “arbitrary and capricious” as COVID-19 vaccines do not stop transmission, vitiating any rational basis for a mandate.

Children’s Health Defense (CHD) financed this lawsuit on behalf of Medical Professionals for Informed Consent and several individual healthcare workers. Sujata Gibson, lead attorney, said, “This is a huge win for New York healthcare workers, who have been deprived of their livelihoods for more than a year. This is also a huge win for all New Yorkers, who are facing dangerous and unprecedented healthcare worker shortages throughout New York State.”

CHD President Mary Holland stated, “We are thrilled at this critical win against a COVID vaccine mandate, correctly finding that any such mandate at this stage, given current knowledge is arbitrary. We hope that this decision will continue the trend towards lifting these dangerous and unwarranted vaccine mandates throughout the country.”

We are off to a great start in 2023.

God bless RFK Jr. and the CHD. Coming from a long line of rock-ribbed Republicans who couldn't stand the Kennedys, I'm amazed but also thankful to have him on our side. He is one of the good guys.

Curious are you Jeff Childers? Jeff C

No, our host comments under "Jeff Childers". I've been using "Jeff C" for about ten years on numerous blogs, and on half a dozen Covid substacks for the past three years. It's my real name and initial. Every so often I post a note here saying I'm not Jeff Childers, particularly if I say something that gets people riled up.

Besides if Jeff Childers wants to post on his own blog he doesn’t need to replace his last name with his initial. He says it like it is because that’s who he is.

While this is a great win, my first question is, do all the workers get their jobs back?

Or do the hospital and clinics still get to mandate it as a condition of employment? This lawsuit says, if I understand it, that NY dept of health can’t mandate it. But the hospitals, doctors and clinics are already now conditioned to require it. And THEY have gotten away with it. So is this a big win? Nothing is ever cut and dry and the legal jargon and word salads we are seeing make me question how this will actually effect the people.

Expand full comment

That’s certainly a great question. I would like all companies and government entities to be forbidden from mandating any medical intervention!!

Expand full comment

THIS is what needs to go to court. This is what needs to be on trial. I’m tired of employers making this a condition of employment. All of these ridiculous MANdates started because the government started doing it. THAT empowered private businesses and crazy owners into doing it too. Now the govt is being reigned in, but the businesses are allowed to continue. This is wrong. It was ALWAYS wrong.

Vaccine Science and Public Health Law needs to be legally reviewed. Turtles all the Way Down. We are being lied to about our basic biology, esp. virology. I will say this, there is no better way to defeat a nation than to turn its own military against it. Our nation is suffering the equivalent of an autoimmune illness due to the illusion that biological "countermeasures" would ever be effective.

I am with you. I'm in CA and gave up a teaching job bc of the mandates. I feel like sending the new info to administrators and asking "STILL want to mandate those shots?" Because at this point if they are reading these studies they HAVE to see, they could be liable. Don't they?

Actually in many cases they were arm twisting employers to require it. Depending on state.

Expand full comment

Yea that’s true too. I know Oregon threatened businesses with all kinds of threats of losing their business licenses and liquor licenses etc etc.

Somehow these businesses have to have a way to fight back agains the govt. I know there will be businesses who will absolutely require it even when they are no longer threatened. Those businesses need to go out of business. But until there is a law in place or a law suit won that says a private business cannot require a medical intervention as a condition of employment there will be owners who continue to do it and hide behind the govt to cover their a$$

Expand full comment

And I’m tired of people (among them pro business Republicans) who keep saying it’s the right of these companies to do business as they see fit and if employees and customers don’t like it, they should just not work there or do business with them. Really? How is requiring a medical intervention part of “doing business”? They say it’s to keep employees and customers safe and healthy but first of all, there is no evidence it accomplishes that, and second of all, even if it does, how far can a business go with that idea?? Where does it stop? It is way beyond what they should be allowed to control.

This is a tough call BUT. Somewhere each and everyone us has to draw a line in the sand. That line is called No More.

The question is, how much abuse will people take until they the people put an end to the diabolic conditions being DEMANDED of us ... by government and those who are in fact and deed above the government.

Those 'above' are the CONTROLLERS. These possess seeming endless immunity from prosecution and operated with unlimited anonymity. Their imposed demonic demands and conditions are anti-life. And their only product is war, destruction and unlimited misery ... all bundled together.

indeed. NO one should be obliged to do whatever bodily mandates a boss puts on his employees. No abortion, no jabs, and why not have some ruling like in Europe, where you get a partly pay if you are sick? I fEurope can do it why can America not do it? And why do all the high ups get health care and the low downs have to pay disastrous amounts for insurance? We are not cars !

true. but that is nothing new. Workers have always been considered second class. Children of a lesser god. Remember all the times in history, where the poor and the oppressed were run under foot, looted, abused, enslaved, you name it. Any government that starts a war looks down upon the plebs, because no one sends their own children and grandchildren to war. A few exceptions - Alexander, at the head of his troops, a few others, even Napoleon went along. Now they make pleasure trips to countries at war, and the heads of these countries come on trips too, leaving their countrymen to die on the field.

Companies might start rethinking the jab as an employment condition once injured employees start filing lawsuits.

Technically they are!!! you can't discriminate against race, religion, blah, blah, blah and your employer has not legal right to know anything about your health status! I always thought even allowing employers to test for drugs in your system was illegal unless maybe you'd be working with heavy equipment?

Expand full comment

And companies (mostly in healthcare) have required the flu shot for years, so that set a precedent. That’s how people defended this, by saying it was the company’s right to protect their workers and do business as they saw fit (even if that tramples on human rights and even if there is no evidence the intervention protects anyone). That’s why I think it needs to be explicit that no company or agency can require any medical interventions for employees or customers.

Expand full comment

Agreed. I posted the same thing on another thread on here somewhere. That opened the door but they seem to allow more exemptions for flu shots and/or there are fewer people complaining about that since those shots have been around forever. But, need to get back to "things in my body as per my choice not anyone else's" i.e. my body, my choice applies to everything not just abortion.

Expand full comment

Yeah I know but they still did it because people allowed them to 😕 Some because they were so proud of their jabbed status that they wanted to show how superior they were and others because they feared for their livelihoods… but allowed nevertheless.

Good luck trying to hire fired nurses back! I doubt if very many want their job back. Would you want to go back to work for an employer who just said FU?

Expand full comment

No, as a Registered Nurse I wouldn’t go back. Too much corruption, collusion and, in many cases, malpractice has been exposed in the healthcare system and I want no part of it. Important tenets of healthcare have been kicked to the curb including informed consent, best practice standards, the patient’s bill of rights, respect for the inherent dignity of human life and the Hippocratic oath (“above all else, do no harm”). It’s been a heartbreaking realization but the current system is broken and corrupted and until corporations, individuals and the government agencies involved are held criminally accountable I see no signs that it will change.

Exactly. Just like the recent news that the military can no longer mandate the jabs. The military, shortly after the announcement, made sure to remind everyone by saying they can STILL determine treatment of its personnel under "combat readiness" guidelines. Anyone who's ever been in the military knows full well what that statement really means. In other words, if you're an unjabbed soldier under a pro-jab commander, good luck bud & budette.

While I understand what you are saying, how many judges remained silent because no case was brought before them? I kept asking where are the law suits? Where are the lawyers? In 2020 when it was apparent what they were doing, where was everybody? No law suits. No nothing. How can a judge stop something that never makes it to his court room?

Even Jeff put it out there that he would represent any church that was being forced to be closed by the govt for free! And not one church leader came to him looking for representation. So is Jeff a hypocrite because no one came to him? We know the answer to that one 😂

I agree, the judge isn’t responsible for people not bringing cases before him. The judges who threw cases out or who made ridiculous poorly reasoned judgments against plaintiffs who brought cases are, though. But in this case I see no reason to criticize him.

If you ever wonder if a scenario such as this one might feel like we are living in the Twilight Zone, here’s my confirmation that we truly are. When I was 16 I stepped into a hotel elevator alone with Rod Serling. I couldn’t resist asking him if the TZ he wrote about was real. He looked at me, smiled and took a drag on his cigarette and said, “yeah kid, it is real”.

Welcome to the fifth dimension.

Yep. They were coerced and many felt they had to take it to feed their families. They still should have said no. Sleazy Joe's mandates were pure evil.

Excellent question. I'm a nurse in NY and though I no longer work in a clinical setting (I'm actually in a med-mal law firm), my friends in the clinic setting would say that the hospital systems used the DOH directives as cover for their mandates. We'll see if they now reverse. Last I knew, staffing levels in our region are still quite precarious and the systems have been paying huge payrolls to keep enough nurses on hand. We'll see...

I was told just yesterday as I was leaving work, that my employer is recommending we wear masks again. They usually send out an email right around Friday at 5pm.

This is fantastic news. Most major airlines still have the mandates in place. This is shocking considering the safety signals even the CDC is now admitting. Pilots flying hundreds of passengers per day and are still subjected to these mandates. New hires (mostly young pilots) are subjected to these mandates. This must stop for the safety of the crew and passengers. I hope and pray these are the next mandates to be lifted.

Expand full comment

And colleges!!! The mandates need to be lifted for the sake of the young adults.

Expand full comment

Not to mention people on the ground in the (hopefully not!) event that both the pilot and the co-pilot, who would be under great stress, both suffer a coincidence on the same flight! I don’t think I’ll be flying anywhere soon. Driving sounds like the better option.

In all seriousness, flying right now would scare me. I watched a short video this morning of someone saying that the elites are asking for unvaccinated pilots for their private jets. I don’t know if that’s true, but if it is, the writing is on the wall and we need to really think about our own method of travel. It’s time to start hiring the unvaccinated.

I’ll ask my unvaccinated pilot friend who is retired and now flies privately.

I’d be interested in finding out if that’s true. I have a cousin who lives in Florida who’s a pilot for either a private plane or a charter service (is there a difference?) so I’ll see about sending him a message too.

Like you, I’m not flying anytime soon. I’ve read that airlines have a rule that disallows pilots to take any medicines that have been on the market less than 2 (?) years. But they violated that rule. Has anyone else heard this?

That will never happen, Wendy - and that is also another "devisive tactic" which will play into the hands of the evil agenda of the power potentates to DIVDE AND CONQUER!

This is great news as New York State has been one of the vilest in enforcing these anti-Constitutional edicts. They were always "arbitrary and capricious."

But the agenda has been moved forward with many already dead or injured or will have debilitated lives going forward. Where is the justice for those?

Expand full comment

I agree. 😞 While we are licking our wounds and trying to figure out how to move forward the agenda has done the damage they wanted. Maybe not as much as they wanted because courageous people started fighting back….but the damage is lifelong and continues behind the scenes. They are still doing things we can’t see. We are always behind the 8 ball. They are always way ahead with their evil criminal agenda. 😔

Expand full comment

I suspect this strategy of admitting things was table-top war gamed and this was a planned response on how to respond when damning information came out and the public began to react. I'm sure they also war gamed how to move forward and continue their nefarious plan to continue to seek their objective.
