It is very important to note that in the state of New York, the trial court (the lowest level court) is called the Supreme Court. So while this ruling is notable, it is not the state’s highest court ruling on the matter. This ruling will be appealed by the government and likely reversed on appeal.

Going to be a bad look to reverse this one.

Who's going to hold the government accountable when they do whatever they want?

Firing people for a vaccination status will probably be remembered in a very dark light, both legally and morally.

Then I guess that's it for requiring vaccination to attend school (which I thought was a thing for decades)? Or, is it just the Covid vaccines that were evil?

I'm old enough to have had all of the childhood diseases in childhood, with pneumonia and an ulcer thrown in (grade school was stressful I guess). Skip all of the vaccines and boosters you want, but be prepared for a couple of years of concern about sick kids. And some of the effects can last a lifetime.

Or, is it just the Covid vaccines that were evil?

“Evil” is the wrong word, and is an attempt to simplify ad absurdum the reasons someone might not want the vaccine. These are some of the things that the Covid vaccines were, which those other vaccines aren’t:

- Months old

- New technology, more or less

- Subject to strange, changing messaging: it’ll protect you, then it won’t, then don’t wear a mask, then do, then maybe it won’t protect others, then there’s a (first, second) booster required and you still need a mask.

This can all be explained by science, I’m sure. But it’s disingenuous to pretend nothing was unique about the Covid vaccine to give people legitimate pause.

There have always been exceptions made for vaccine refusal in schools - until 2021 Marin County CA had one of the lowest vaccination rates in the country, and students got exemptions.

Also, the vaccines that have been traditionally required for school are proven to “work” in the sense that they immunize one against the disease, thus eliminating spread.

The COVID vaccines don’t do that. Most people who get COVID these days are vaccinated, and they still spread it.

A highly experiential vaccine with no known long term research. Almost no research trials at all. It came out after many people had already been exposed. Yet still forcing them to take it. Now we find out they did NOT test if it slows transmission. From evidence. It clearly doesn’t help.

Now a ton of weird heart issues are starting up in younger populations that weren’t at serious risk anyway. This isn’t science. It’s attempt to control people.

It should have been encouraged but not forced.

It’s completely evil how this topic was used to divide the nation.

Are people still pushing the children meme? COVID is not a threat to children.

Anti-vaxxers will be remembered with disgust and incomprehension.

ben_w4• 4 years ago

Now now, be kind.

The pushers of antivaxx perhaps, but even then the meme itself (bear with me) is strong enough that there were numerous enough anti-vaxxers to make a difference (and I'm not just counting COVID here).

For why the meme alone makes it important to be kind: Just because I can only explain the pushers with conflict theory and neo-phobia, and just because I find those things to be incomprehensible, (1) sane people can still be convinced by such people (my MMR was delayed because whatshisname did actually get published), and (2) it's common enough to count as part of the human condition.
