Supreme Court declines to block New York vaccine mandate
Source: CNN
(CNN)The Supreme Court turned away two emergency requests Monday from health care workers, doctors and nurses in New York to block the state's vaccine mandate.
Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas dissented.
The dispute arose when three nurses and a group called We the Patriots USA, Inc, challenged the mandate, arguing that it allowed exemptions for those with medical objections but not for people with religious objections.
The rule, which is currently in effect, covers workers in hospitals and nursing homes, home health agencies, adult centers as well as hospices. Several doctors who say they have treated many patients with Covid filed a separate request with the justices.

(92,061 posts)their dissent that those wanting the exemption were NOT anti-vax, but just against the Covid vaccine, because it is from "fetal blood lines" from the 70's. That is a lie. It is TESTING that was done on those vaccines in the early development against those cell lines that were used to determine their feasibility, but the actual vaccine manufactured is NOT derived from any "fetal blood lines".
That Alito, Gorsuch, and Thomas choice to accept the false premise demonstrates just how unhinged they are.
Some of the following over the counter medicines that were TESTED on derivative cell lines:
Advil, Aleve, Benadryl, Claritin, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Robitussin, Sudafed, Tylenol, Colace Lidocaine, Maalox, Mucinex, Mepyramine, Pepto-Bismol, Preparation H, Senna, Tums, Atorvastatin, Azithromycin, Amlodipine, Albuterol, Cerivastain, Canagliflozin, Dapagliflozin, Enbrel, Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, Levothyroxin, Losartan, Lisinopril, Metformin, Metoprolol, Oxbryta, Omeprazole, Remdesivir, Simvastatin, Sacubitril, Tenapanor
In other words, the use of fetal cell lines is very "common" in TESTING for many modern medicines
We have three SC justices who are out of their minds, and living in the dark ages. If it were up to these three SC judges views, a lot of medicines would be banned.
