They see the writing on the wall.
A New York court just recently ruled that the layoffs of unvaccinated workers was abiitrary and capricious, given the lack of scientific evidence that vaccination prevents transmission of Coronavirus, and has hence ordered restitution and backpay.

The judge in question was pretty much expected to rule this way, and it's pretty likely it'll be overturned on appeal.

There’s almost zero basis for this ruling to be overturned

There's a lot of people in this post with zero knowledge of basic public health law or policy, and it's a great illustration of how we got into our depressing COVID trajrexfory lol

There's plenty of basis for the ruling to be overturned, he's generally an outlier in terms of opinions.

Insofar as when you’re infected, sure. However, the original vaccine (and at the time of the mandate) reduced your chance of getting infected by 5x. So yeah, still indirectly reduces transmission.

Are we more concerned with the merit of the ruling or the popularity of the judge? Get a grip

I don't see much merit in the ruling or proposed remedy.
The judge being frequently out of step with his colleagues is quite notable, as it's a bunch of his colleagues that will decide an appeal. If they all ruled pretty similarly, we could say it's unlikely for an appeal to succeed. If one guy is frequently way out of line with the views of others - it's much more likely for his decisions to get overturned on appeal.

Woah you're telling me a conservative judge ruled against the city of New York????

I feel like anytime someone uses the word "scientific" then you know some bullshit is going to come right after.
