The Biden administration is signaling that COVID-19, and all current and future variants therein, are part of the new and permanent way of life. COVID-19 is being codified in the permanent regulatory state. The contracts for the continuance of the public health emergency supply procurements are coming through the Defense Department [Announcement Here]
Many people feared that various government agencies, those who used the pandemic to gain raw power over U.S. citizens, would never relinquish their new authorities. This latest announcement would indicate long term plans that are likely to end no sooner than when we stop taking off our shoes at the airport TSA checkpoints.
It’s a smart Machiavellian move to use the DoD as the regulatory mechanism for the permanent state of emergency, as their spending authorities carry wide discretion and are supported by both wings of the UniParty and permanent security state, ie. The Fourth Branch of Government.
(Via Daily Mail) – The Biden administration struck a $137 million deal to build a new factory in the U.S. to ramp up production of COVID-19 testing kits – but the new facility won’t be completed until late 2024 at the earliest.
MilliporeSigma, a brand formed by Germany’s Merck KGaA, will build a new factory in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, the Defense Department announced as the U.S. hit a high record of 489,267 COVID cases on Wednesday
While the contract gives the company three years to complete the facility, it is not immediately clear when it will ramp up to full production, which is expected to pump out 83.3 million tests per month.
‘Construction is expected to begin the second half of 2022 and initial planning and preparatory work is already underway,’ a MilliporeSigma spokesperson told DailyMail.com. ‘We estimate that the facility will be capable of providing lateral flow membranes in the latter part of 2024.’
The individual said that the production of lateral flow membrane is ‘critical for rapid diagnostic tests’ that will not only help with COVID-19 detection, but also with ‘any future public health emergencies.’ (read more)
Once we get on their Ronacoaster, we can’t get off until the ride’s over. And apparently, if we let the government keep going, the ride is never over.

Dr. Malone has always presented himself as an intelligent and thoughtful man of even & stable disposition.
This is being reported as the video {Direct Rumble Link Here} that got Dr. Robert Malone banned from Twitter. In this video, Dr. Malone makes very strong statements about the “irreparable harm” to children caused by the COVID-19 vaccine. WATCH:
I can see why the powers that be would respond to this video with such ferocity. What Dr. Malone states in this video is alarming in the extreme. He is specifically stating that any parent or grandparent who has permitted, facilitated or chosen to vaccinate their child, has permanently and irrevocably harmed them.
According to his statement, the consequences of that harm will surface in the future life and health of the child. These are remarkable words that stun the viewer when absorbed in their totality. If what Dr Malone is saying in this video is accurate, the consequences, not only to the children – but also to the larger society of all future generations, could collapse global social structures.
Think about the ramifications to families, communities and the construct of the global relationship of all citizens to their government, if what he is saying is accurate. Additionally, if these words are true, there’s no way any institution of government could ever admit them. The consequences are unfathomable.
The transcript of his remarks is available HERE and duplicated below:
My name is Robert Malone, and I am speaking to you as a parent, grandparent, physician and scientist. I don’t usually read from a prepared speech, but this is so important that I wanted to make sure that I get every single word and scientific fact correct.
I stand by this statement with a career dedicated to vaccine research and development. I’m vaccinated for COVID and I’m generally pro-vaccination. I have devoted my entire career to developing safe and effective ways to prevent and treat infectious diseases.
After this, I will be posting the text of this statement so you can share it with your friends and family.
Before you inject your child – a decision that is irreversible – I wanted to let you know the scientific facts about this genetic vaccine, which is based on the mRNA vaccine technology I created:
There are three issues parents need to understand:
The first is that a viral gene will be injected into your children’s cells. This gene forces your child’s body to make toxic spike proteins. These proteins often cause permanent damage in children’s critical organs, including
Their brain and nervous system
Their heart and blood vessels, including blood clots
Their reproductive system
And this vaccine can trigger fundamental changes to their immune system
The most alarming point about this is that once these damages have occurred, they are irreparable
You can’t fix the lesions within their brain
You can’t repair heart tissue scarring
You can’t repair a genetically reset immune system, and
This vaccine can cause reproductive damage that could affect future generations of your family
The second thing you need to know about is the fact that this novel technology has not been adequately tested.
We need at least 5 years of testing/research before we can really understand the risks
Harms and risks from new medicines often become revealed many years later
Ask yourself if you want your own child to be part of the most radical medical experiment in human history
One final point: the reason they’re giving you to vaccinate your child is a lie.
Your children represent no danger to their parents or grandparents
It’s actually the opposite. Their immunity, after getting COVID, is critical to save your family if not the world from this disease
In summary: there is no benefit for your children or your family to be vaccinating your children against the small risks of the virus, given the known health risks of the vaccine that as a parent, you and your children may have to live with for the rest of their lives.
The risk/benefit analysis isn’t even close.
As a parent and grandparent, my recommendation to you is to resist and fight to protect your children. (link)

Brandon Brown is the NASCAR driver who became famous for the “Let’s go Brandon” meme, after an NBC journalist attempted to gaslight the broadcast audience about the FJB chant taking place at the track.
It was announced recently that Brandon Brown and Brandonbilt Motorsports were having difficulty finding sponsors in the aftermath of the now viral story. However, it appears Brandonbilt Motorsports has found a new sponsor which is absolutely going to trigger the media and leftists; who, I might add, are not NASCAR fans in the first place.
Brandonbilt Motorsports announced today that LGBcoin, a cryptocurrency, will be Brandon Brown’s official sponsor for the 2022 season. WATCH:
Yes, the people who enjoy “Let’s Go Brandon” will officially be sponsoring Brandon Brown:
(Brandonbilt Press Release) – – Brandonbilt Motorsports (BMS) announced today that cryptocurrency meme coin LGBcoin.io (LGBcoin / $LGB) has signed on as the team’s full season primary partner for the 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) season.
The partnership marks the latest crypto outfit to back a NASCAR driver and team, a growing trend not only in motorsports but across all professional sports leagues. In 2022, BMS driver Brandon Brown will sport an eye-catching red, white, and blue livery with the logo and wordmark of LGBcoin aboard his No. 68 Chevrolet Camaro for all 33 races of the NXS season.
LGBcoin is a new, decentralized meme cryptocurrency similar to other meme coins and tokens such as Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, that has achieved a market capitalization of more than $300 million in less than six months. The patriotic coin dubbed “America’s Coin” aims to inspire positivity and unity, grounded in a strong belief of the American dream.
“We are thrilled to partner with Brandonbilt Motorsports and Brandon Brown for the 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series season,” said James Koutoulas, LGBcoin HODLer and founder of Typhoon Capital Management. “Brandon is not only an incredibly talented driver, but also a thoughtful individual wise beyond his years. His commitment and singular focus on his profession is inspiring and his personal story is one that we can all be proud of—an American story of success and perseverance. Brandon is truly America’s Driver.”
“We are proud to support Brandon this season, to help him continue his American dream,” said Koutoulas. “If we do our job right, when you think of us, and you hear, ‘Let’s Go Brandon,’ you’ll think and feel, ‘Let’s Go America.’”
After securing funding from a portfolio of crypto related entities during the 2021 NXS season, Brown becomes the first NASCAR driver to land multiple crypto deals and distinguishes himself as an early attractor for meme and crypto partnerships.
About LGBcoin.io
LGBcoin ($LGB) is America’s Coin: an ERC-20 digital collectible meme coin on the Ethereum Blockchain that allows owners to digitally voice their support for America and the American dream. To learn more visit LGBcoin.io. (full press release)
The media is going to go bananas.
The leftist communists are going to go bananas.
NASCAR, who has been attempting to virtue signal to the “woke” movement is likely to go bananas.

On economic matters, no one really knows what is about to happen, with one possible exception. It is demonstrably certain inflation into 2022 will continue increasing. Beyond that, after pumping $9+ trillion into the U.S. economic system under the guise of COVID relief, we are entering some very uncharted waters.
On a macro level, CTH has an idea what is likely to take place in the next three years; however, before getting to that, allow me to present evidence for the underlying supposition. As you can see from this Biden message, shaped entirely by politics, on an economic basis the people around him have no idea what the downstream consequences of 2020 and 2021 will present in 2022:
The team behind Joe Biden brag about the U.S. economy being the only economy to continue growing during the COVID-19 pandemic period. Their top line reference point is the Gross Domestic Product, or GDP. Their brag is the U.S. GDP did not shrink during 2021 and the COVID pandemic.
However, what they omit (for political reasons) is that massive U.S. spending and bailouts covered the GDP hole. More than $9 trillion was injected for stimulus payments, blue state bailouts, payroll protection programs, rent moratoriums, school subsidies, medical payments to hospitals, student loan payment pauses, vaccination purchases, covid sick pay and years of continually extended and enhanced unemployment benefits.
They also omit that none of this domestic spending would be possible if the global trade currency did not take place in dollars. Our value is propped up by the fact that almost all trade takes place in U.S. currency. If that system was not in place, congress could not spend this much money without collapsing the U.S. into a devaluation position resembling what happened previously in Greece.
The only way for Biden to avoid the direct economic consequence of this massive injection of $9+ trillion, which has created the illusion of a strong GDP by subsidizing consumer spending, is to keep injecting more money to keep the artificial GDP inflated.
Biden really needs congress to keep spending. However, it now looks like congress does not have an appetite to do this….. so, the consequences are coming.
The prior spending covered a hole created by a drop in total economic activity. Outputs dropped, payrolls dropped, consumer spending would have dropped, etc. In essence, the void in economic activity was subsidized on a massive scale by government.
The U.S. economy was essentially a $20 trillion GDP going into the pandemic period. Think of the GDP as total value. We do not know what the total contraction on the economy was due to the first subsidy; but we do know the aggregate response over the past two years has been to subsidize -or cover- the contraction with a $9 trillion blanket.
That $9 trillion in artificial GDP value is the most direct cause of inflation. There are other aspects related to energy policy making products more expensive (energy, gas, fuel, transportation, heating, cooling, etc), but the $9 trillion artificial spend is the largest factor of current inflation.
These two figures will become important moving forward. A $20 trillion natural economy, and $9 trillion in unnatural spending to maintain it.
In our economic studies, CTH has assembled a reference library from which we can draw guidance. The 2008 and 2009 bailout phase [TARP, auto-bailouts, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), QE1 and QE2 as well as the porkulous bill] provide some reference points for long term outlooks.
There is a general investing guideline consisting of a factor of seven. Seven years to double money, seven years to recover investment, seven years of depreciation etc. The number seven shows up in multiple macro-economic reference points. Seven is also represented by an approximate of 13%.
Spending at the level of 25% of our GDP (over two years) creates an inflationary pressure point of a similar size. Two years at 13% is 26% inflation. In real terms, that’s roughly where we are right now – we are somewhere in the 25% range in higher prices on goods overall. That aligns with the spending subsidy inside the U.S. economy.
If my review of the ’08/’09 spending impact is accurate as an overlay, it means our natural economic cycle will take roughly four years to make parity between real wage incomes and the inflation rate. It will take us four years to grow wages enough to cover for all this spending. Meaning, in four years the level of overall wages will be enough to finally catch the inflation currently recorded in the price of goods.
However, the problem arises in the near future. Without that $9 trillion spent, our GDP would have contracted. We now need to work through the value of that contraction in the economy. We need wages to rise to compensate for inflation; but unfortunately, we are about to enter a phase where employment is likely to contract.
Two-thirds of the U.S. GDP is created by consumer spending. Inflation, created by prior spending, is chewing up current wages and incomes. As a consequence, disposable income is wiped out. Consumer spending on non-essential products and services (luxury stuff) is essentially gone. That reality is going to lead to a natural drop in employment as non-essential goods and services are no longer in demand.
We covered the prior point where the drop in demand for less essential products would have happened with government spending. That subsidy is now drying up, and the hole we avoided is now in front of us. All of the people who work in the economic process of providing ‘less-essential‘ goods and services will now likely see lay-offs.
This could potentially set us on a collision course. If the employment condition worsens, there will be no need for upward pressure on wages. At the same time, wage pressure decreases the inflation pressure remains high. This dynamic means it takes even longer than four years to cover the hole of the previous spending.
We have talked about the predictable consequences of this dynamic for approximately eight months. Some of the data is now beginning to surface to support exactly what we were discussing last year. All of the artificial spending is drying up, and now the inflationary bills (chickens) are coming home to roost.
Each spike on the WolfStreet graphic below is government COVID spending. Massive influxes of artificial payments into the economy. The first spike is the Paycheck Protection Plan and initial economic bailout. The second spike was the second covid relief bill, and the third spike (the tallest) was the soon followed even larger covid relief bill.
The WolfStreet analysis shows how inflation is much higher than wage growth {DATA HERE}. Those spikes represent approximately $4.5 trillion in spending – subsidy infusions into the U.S. employer and employee workforce.
Inflation will continue chewing up wages through next year. However, it can readily be expected that total employment will start getting a lot more tenuous as consumers/workers hunker down and prioritize spending on higher priced housing, food, energy and fuel.

When CDC Director Rochelle Wolensky talks, she is speaking to a diminishing audience of branch covidians. As the official guidance from the U.S. medical community (NIH, FDA, CDC) shifts drastically, more people are awake to the political motives behind the rules. This reality is now becoming a serious issue for them.
Earlier today, CDC Director Wolensky spoke to several stenographers about the changes. On ABC she stated there was no recommendation to “test out” of quarantine after five days, because the CDC is now admitting the PCR tests are useless. As she stated, “PCR tests can stay positive for up to 12 weeks” after the infection. This is an issue now, because the politics of the quarantine has changed. WATCH:
In another interview the CNN stenographer, now sensing the dam collapsing, asked directly if this shift in quarantine guidance was due to the “business” or economic impacts of COVID as it relates to the ever-shifting science.
What we are watching, in real time, is a considerable shift amid those who are attempting to retain the false premise behind the COVID narrative. People are not jumping into the booster narrative, because the difference between vaccinated and unvaccinated is now nullified by the statements and guidance of the officials themselves.
It is going to get more difficult for the regime to keep pushing COVID-19 mandates, while they have to keep justifying their contradictory positions. The contradictions themselves do not make sense when contrast against the science, especially when the scientific outcomes undermine the original premise of the mandates, rules and guidance.
This is why it has become even more important, in this destabilized public opinion phase, for opposing scientific views to be suppressed.
The institutional government healthcare system is trying to retain credibility. However, the dam is breaking, and they have run out of fingers and toes to plug the gaps. Those in the executive suites have shifted their efforts to securing scuba gear, as indicated by Biden’s “there is no federal government solution”….
Continuing with the dam analogy, further credibility collapses will likely become exponential if the praetorian guard media start asking the obvious questions about where all this water is coming from, and we move into the phase of rapid sunlight.
The larger issue is not related to Twitter’s individual and arbitrary rules, but rather all Americans should consider that communication about COVID-19 is being restricted by various compliance officers operating on behalf of the state. We are living in a communication era of Orwellian proportions.
We are also entering into a very dangerous phase in our national history. People are eyes-wide-open to the vaccine propaganda, messaging and inherent conflicts from officials in the institutions of government and health.
While it may sound like a good outcome to have massive numbers of Americans awaken to their new reality, and that outcome results in a complete collapse in confidence with government officials, the downstream consequence of such severe destabilization comes at a much higher cost than the virus itself.
Dr. Malone can be found on the Substack platform where he shares the following message:
We all knew it would happen eventually.
Today it did. Over a half million followers gone in a blink of an eye. That means I must have been on the mark, so to speak. Over the target. It also means we lost a critical component in our fight to stop these vaccines being mandated for children and to stop the corruption in our governments, as well as the medical-industrial complex and pharmaceutical industries.
So, please spread the word – share this on your own twitter feed or whatever social media venue you wish.
Traditionally, the telegram account with my handle (rwmalonemd) is run by a someone else – it is not my own account. They have done a good job auto-posting from twitter and I have personally thanked the person who does this (I only have one of me and getting scientific knowledge and info pushed out is critical in this battle). It has 100,000 followers. Not sure how that will work now…
Tomorrow I am on the Joe Rogan show (I don’t know when it will air, probably tomorrow maybe)? Please spread the word that you can see me there next!
Marty Makary, MD, MPH, remains one of the most prominent critically thinking public health experts during this pandemic. A staunch supporter of COVID-19 vaccination, Dr. Makary, a prominent surgeon and editor-in-chief of MedPage Today, also raised the importance of balanced, more unbiased scientific reasoning, often making declarations that haven’t been popular with the dominant government and industry-driven pandemic narrative. For example, Makary has argued that a proper risk-benefit analysis should accompany any mass COVID-19-focused pediatric vaccination drive. Now the surgeon and researcher affiliated with Johns Hopkins University shares with the world concerns about indiscriminate booster campaigns—raising the specter of possible harm associated with such a one-size-fits-all approach embraced by the current U.S. executive branch and its scientific advisors.
While the government, backed by industry and all-too-willing academician advisors (undoubtedly hopeful of more public grants and other financial benefits) continue to promote the full acceleration of mass booster programs, little to no mainstream discussion appeals to the negative side of the health-related ledger: what are the side effects of these vaccines? What about long-term risks? Of course, little is known about long-term health impacts because these products are so new. They have only been in use in the population for about a year. Often, it can take a handful of years before the true health risks associated with medicinal products materialize. But perhaps a glimmer of awareness shines through with growing chatter about vaccination risks alongside all-encompassing benefits.
Recently Makary shared a message from Vinay Prasad, MD, MPH, who introduces a new paper in Nature uncovering differing adverse event risk factors by vaccine product.
Led by corresponding author Julia Hippisley-Cox from the University of Oxford, the study shares how the risks for conditions such as myocarditis and pericarditis are very real, despite the initial clinical trial results.Subscribe to the Trialsitenews “COVID-19” ChannelNo spam – we promise
The self-controlled case series study targeting vaccinated people 16 years of age and up in England analyzed cardiovascular adverse event incidence by vaccine product, including AstraZeneca/Oxford (ChAdOx1), Pfizer-BioNTech (BNT162b2), and Moderna (mRNA-1273).
The study authors discovered that the risks for myocarditis increase under the following conditions:
∙ After the first dose of AstraZeneca and Pfizer
∙ Subsequent to the second dose of Moderna over the 1–28-day post jab period
∙ Following a SARS-CoV-2 positive test
More specifically, according to this real-world data, myocarditis risks increases by the following:
Vaccine
Extra myocarditis event per/1 million
Stats
AstraZeneca
2
95% confidence interval (CI) 0, 3
Pfizer-BioNTech
1
95% CI 0, 2
Moderna
6
95% CI 2, 8
The authors reported these outcomes for 28 days following a first dose and an extra ten (95% CI 7, 11) myocarditis events per 1 million vaccinated in the 28 days after a second dose of mRNA-1273. In comparison, they find an extra 40 (95% CI 38, 41) such cardiovascular events per million 28 days after preliminary test indicating risks associated with COVID-19 itself. Indicating that overall vaccination could be less risky—but that precludes important subgroup analysis.
The UK-led study extends a growing study literature investigating COVID-19 vaccine-associated adverse events. In this case, significantly so, based on an analysis of 38 million adults in England receiving both the mRNA-based vaccines as well as the AstraZeneca product (adenovirus-mediated vaccine).
The study team discovered heightened myocarditis risk in subgroups (e.g., males under 40) as well as temporal association indicating risks after both the first and second jabs within a seven-day period post-vaccination.
The authors declared, “The excess risk was observed in men and women but was only consistently observed following both mRNA vaccines in those younger than 40 years.” The authors qualify that fewer people under 40 received the mRNA-based vaccines however other national health authorities have already acted, unbeknownst to most of the North American public.
Vaccine Limitations
Dozens of national health authorities have established parameters for vaccination during this unprecedented mass vaccination program. TrialSite provides some examples below that rarely make it into mainstream media in places like the United States, Canada, and even England.
Moderna
Due to heightened risks associated with mRNA-1273 for myocarditis and other events, numerous counties have placed either temporary or permanent restrictions on the use of this novel COVID-19 vaccine product.
TrialSite has reported how all the Scandinavian nations (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and even Iceland) have imposed limitations on access to this vaccine. In summary, health authorities in these nations have declared that the risks of cardiovascular-related events are too high for younger people, especially young males. TrialSite notes Moderna’s share price has been on a downward trend as reported by Yahoo Finance. Could traders have known something many others don’t?
AstraZeneca
Numerous nations placed holds, some permanent, some temporary, on this vaccine as TrialSite has reported ongoing. Even Wikipedia is updated on the “Suspensions” associated with this vaccine that had so much promise (more economical, easier to distribute, etc.).
This is not to say that this vaccine hasn’t helped in the war against COVID-19 but the health-related costs associated with the novel product are real. Numerous nations in Europe, not to mention South Africa, Canada, Indonesia, and Australia placed suspensions at one point or another due to safety concerns such as blood clotting and low blood platelets. Still authorized by Europe and other authorities, many nations however transition from a one-size-fits-all approach to a more tailored, risk-based approach to vaccination. Remember, the USA completely stopped the AstraZeneca vaccine program.
More Data from Oxford-led Follow-on Study
Back to the mRNA-based vaccines and the most recent Oxford-led study in the preprint (this means it shouldn’t be used for making definitive claims). Males under 40 years of age face a higher risk with the vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Modena than actual COVID-19 infection, thus raising concern that a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach to COVID-19 vaccination should be supplanted with a more tailored, precise approach. After all, that follows the trend in the science of medicine anyway.
Dr. Prasad discussed the limitations of the former peer-reviewed (Nature) study as the exact number of vaccines were known while the actual number of SARS-CoV-2 infections wasn’t certain at all. But with known limitations, he referred to the Oxford-led authors’ updated point of view uploaded to medRxiv for further clarification.
In this update, the authors found a heightened risk of myocarditis following one to 28 days after the third booster dose of Pfizer’s BNT162b2 (IRR 2.02, 95%CI 1.40, 2.91). Not surprisingly, the risks were highest in males aged 40 and under with all vaccines with the various observations in the updated study:

The authors report that while the risk of myocarditis is very real for those sick with SARS-CoV-2, the risk-benefit analysis contributes to a reasonable position against vaccination of people 40 and under. But why aren’t governing health authorities discussing this science? Dr. Prasad asks publicly why health authorities aren’t and associated political representatives are re-adjusting the “risk radar?”
Medicine is nuanced as Prasad declares and in his point of view “Profit, greed, and power…not so much!!” TrialSite suggests some truth in this argument—the evidence of some forms of regulatory capture is present during this pandemic. TrialSite has accumulated a vast trove of study results, news stories, and various analyses pointing in this direction. Moreover, the level and type of information suppression indicate some forms of collusion between government, industry, and the largest media corporations.
Industry received considerable incentive to develop products and should be held accountable when public finances are involved. Yet they also take on enormous risks—the drug development process is complex, time-consuming, and financially risky. TrialSite suggests for those that seek reform to better understand deeper, more systemic forces are at play during the pandemic including intense investor demand for high returns.
The pharmaceutical industry shouldn’t be unilaterally vilified but also must be held accountable as should public health authorities and government embrace the comprehensive, unfolding science—not just a subset of data or evidence to back a convenient narrative.
TrialSite continually educates that the pharma companies operate in a system that economically and financially punishes executives and their talent for failing to shrewdly exploit financially any rich, fertile profit conditions such as COVID-19.
On the other hand, a balance can be achieved if regulatory and executive branch agencies behave and act independently with the public interest as a goal. Hence the risks and dangers of regulatory capture. But what happens when government and industry get too cozy? Known by some as “Crony Capitalism,” this involves a move away from free-market ideals mitigated by independent and objective regulators to an intertwined dynamic, vulnerable to bias and even corrupted practices.
The pandemic exposed system vulnerability in pandemic response, including a tendency or impulse for some Western governments and health authorities to lean toward authoritarian-centric responses while not only ensuring windfall profits for the winners at the expense of at least some public health considerations. An example would be the ongoing imposition of PREP Act liability shields despite widespread mandates. What happened to consumer rights activism?
Some could argue the growing polarization in places like America only worsened the situation, conflating politics with the economy and public health. However, no orthodoxy, regardless of paradigm or hypothesis, will hasten the demise of the pathogen other than an objective, science- and evidence-driven approach factoring in real-world unfolding and ongoing intelligence. Suppression of data that contradicts or raises questions about the dominant narrative only worsens social and political divides leading to new forms of crises that governments seek to manage, most of the time unsuccessfully.
In what looks to be a calculated legal maneuver by the outgoing New York City mayor, a hearing is set for December 29th over a lawsuit by a New York Police Detective’s effort to stop Bill de Blasio’s vaccine mandate for municipal workers. The initial filing of the lawsuit was in the New York County Supreme Court, but lawyers for the de Blasio administration had the case moved to federal court. What’s unusual here is that it is standard practice to change court venues before a ruling. However, after NY County Supreme Court Judge Frank Nervo issued a restraining order against de Blasio’s vaccine mandate, lawyers for NY City immediately requested the case be moved to federal court.
As reported in the NY Post, the case involves Detective Anthony Marciano’s claim that New York City officials don’t have the “legal authority” to enact a vaccine mandate since the mayoral decree wasn’t approved by the State. Marciano claims he has natural immunity to covid. The article in the Post says a NY City lawyer claimed the restraining order was “misinterpreted” by Marciano’s attorney and, in fact, is not valid. But the city then moved to have the case heard in federal court.
TrialSiteNews reported the detective’s lawsuit could be the beginning of several against New York City regarding the mayor’s mandates. However, the city’s legal maneuvering could be a sign New York is looking for federal backup. The federal judge slated to hear the case is Jed Rakoff who, as reported in The New York Times, has a history of ordering vaccinations. In a ruling, Rakoff wrote the unvaccinated pose a danger “given their enhanced risk of infecting other people.” Regarding the Marciano lawsuit, Rakoff could invoke the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP), which is an emergency declaration utilizing “countermeasures to diseases, threats, and conditions.” The PREP Act cannot be challenged in court.
Marciano’s attorney, Patricia Finn, claims New York City’s legal move to get the case to federal court “looks like blatant forum-shopping intended to get around Judge Nervo’s TRO (temporary restraining order).” Given this is Bill de Blasio’s last week in office it’s likely the soon-to-be-former mayor’s mandates will be taken up by the incoming Adams administration. Eric Adams is a former New York City police officer.
