NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor on Monday denied an appeal from a New York Police Department detective who asked for an emergency injunction to keep the city from firing him over its mandate that municipal employees be vaccinated against the coronavirus.

Detective Anthony Marciano has a lawsuit pending against the city in a federal appeals court, and his attorneys last week had petitioned Sotomayor, who oversees emergency appeals from New York and some other states, for the injunction while the case is being resolved.

Marciano is part of a small group of employees who didn’t qualify for a medical or religious exemption to getting the shot, but still refused.

There have been more than 1,000 New York City employees fired for refusing the vaccines, and some requests for exemptions have yet to be decided.

Legal challenges to the rules have mostly been unsuccessful.

The city’s law department said it was happy with the ruling. Marciano’s attorney, Patricia Finn, said she would ask the entire Supreme Court for a review.

Marciano is part of a small group of employees who didn’t qualify for a medical or religious exemption to getting the shot, but still refused.

Religious exemptions haven’t actually been offered against the dangerous c19 shots, and a steep hurdle has been placed over doctors who are able to find reasons to offer medical exemptions, in that they now often lose their licenses if writing more than a few, or even one or two.

There have been more than 1,000 New York City employees fired for refusing the vaccines…

There are way more than 1,000, yet even these are referred to here as: ‘a small group of employees who didn’t qualify for a medical or religious exemption‘. Not right, just not right. Additionally, there are tens of thousands of others in the NYC work force who cannot claim an exemption either right now. This must be changed. Vaccine theory has never been proved, and forcing a medical procedure is against the Nuremberg Codes – and coercion through loss of employment is also criminal.

A police detective who does not follow the rules seems to bear watching. What other rules is he ignoring?
