Late last month NY State announced that Healthcare workers will no longer be exempt from the Covid-19 vaccine due to religion!
This ongoing court case stems from former Governor Andrew Cuomo’s order that ALL hospital and long-term care facility workers were required to get at least one dose of the vaccine by September 27th reports CNN.
“New York’s mandate forces an abominable choice on New York healthcare workers: abandon their faith or lose their careers,” said attorney Cameron Atkinson, who represents three nurses,” reads an official forwarded statement.
“They have committed their futures to God’s hands, and we remain optimistic that the United States Supreme Court will strike down New York’s discriminatory mandate as violating the First Amendment.”
Sources have confirmed that a total of 16,000 health care employees in New York State have been granted religious exemptions PRIOR TO Friday’s court ruling, the state’s health department confirmed to the outlet Friday night.
