SUPREME COURT ALLOWS VACCINE MANDATE FOR N.Y. HEALTH-CARE WORKERS

A divided U.S. Supreme Court left in force New York’s requirement that
health-care workers be vaccinated against Covid-19, refusing to order exemptions
for 20 providers who say they object to the shot on religious grounds.

The rebuff follows a similar rejection in a Maine case in October. Justices Neil
Gorsuch, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented in both cases.




The court acted after weeks of internal deliberation.



The high court order comes amid a cultural and political firestorm over Covid
vaccine requirements. Republican-led states including Florida are moving to fine
companies unless they let workers opt out, pushing back against President Joe
Biden’s plan to require private employers to ensure workers are vaccinated or
face federal occupational safety penalties.



A federal appeals court has put the Biden rules on hold, and that issue is
likely to reach the Supreme Court soon as well.



New York is among a handful of states that require vaccinations for health-care
workers without allowing a faith-based exemption. New York’s mandate, issued
Aug. 26 by the Department of Health, requires health-care workers to be
vaccinated if they are in close contact with patients, residents or other
workers. The rule exempts people who have a medical reason for not getting
vaccinated.



Two groups of doctors, nurses and other providers contend the mandate violates
their constitutional rights. They say they are Christians opposed to the three
available vaccines because they have links to cell lines derived from aborted
fetuses. They told the court they either have already lost their jobs or will
soon lose them. 

The Moderna Inc. and Pfizer Inc. mRNA vaccines were tested using a cell line
that originated with an aborted fetus in the 1970s. The Johnson & Johnson
vaccine uses a different cell line during production and manufacturing. None of
the vaccines contain aborted fetal cells.



New York told the justices its rule was warranted in light of the continuing
threat posed by Delta variant of Covid-19. The state pointed to the risk that
health-care workers could transmit the virus to vulnerable patients and
residents or exacerbate staffing shortages by infecting colleagues.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor previously let New York City require school employees to
get shots.



The cases are We The Patriots USA v. Hochul, 21A125, and Dr. A. v. Hochul,
21A145.
