The Supreme Court of New York has suspended the mayor's mandate for New York City workers, pending a court hearing set for December 14.

Patricia Finn, an attorney who describes herself on Twitter as"The Good Health Lawyer New Yotk ," launched the legal challenge against the mayor's mandate. She regularly espouses anti-vaccination views on her social media accounts.

On November 1, de Blasio said the city workers mandate was working and vaccination rates had risen to 85 percent for the NYPD, 88 per cent for emergency medical services, 83 percent for the sanitation department and 77 per cent for firefighters. The expansion also obliges children aged 5-11 to provide proof of vaccination to enter indoor dining, fitness, entertainment and performance venues. Those changes are due to come into effect on December 14.

Kymon5 Crazy! Crazy. All the mayor is doing to protect the city . New York need protecting . Every time someone does good look at demos try to stop what is best for the people of New York.

There has to be a long game here with all of these attempts at mandates. They have to know courts will shoot it down. Are they hoping this will cause people to start to question and undermine the authority of the courts?
