Does this block the federal mandate for all NY health care workers, or just the ones with religious exemption claims?
UTICA, N.Y. (AP) — A federal judge temporarily blocked the state of New York on Tuesday from forcing medical workers to be vaccinated after a group of health care workers sued, saying their Constitutional rights were violated because the state’s mandate disallowed religious exemptions.
Judge David Hurd in Utica issued the order after 17 health professionals, including doctors and nurses, claimed in a lawsuit Monday that their rights were violated with a vaccine mandate that disallowed the exemptions.
“Governor Hochul is doing everything in her power to protect New Yorkers and combat the Delta variant by increasing vaccine rates across the State. Requiring vaccination of health care workers is critical to this battle,” Crampton-Hays said.

I mean this is a huge story! It should have more traction after 5 hrs relative to other meaningless posts. Lurk no more Fren.
They want a federal judge to do this.
Otherwise it goes to Supreme Court and forever enshrined to having no vaccine mandates.
"Seventeen medical health professionals had asked the court to enjoin enforcement of New York’s mandate" just a coincidence I suppose...
