SYRACUSE, New York (LifeSiteNews) – Seventeen medical health professionals are asking the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York to enjoin enforcement of the State of New York’s patently unconstitutional vaccine mandate for health care workers.

“What New York is attempting to do is slam shut an escape hatch from an unconstitutional vaccine mandate,” declared attorney Christopher Ferrara, Thomas More Society Special Counsel. “And they are doing this while, knowing that many people have sincere religious objections to vaccines that were tested, developed, or produced with cell lines derived from aborted children.”
