Supreme Court Allows Vaccine Mandate for New York Health Care Workers

 

WASHINGTON โ€” The Supreme Court on Monday refused to block New Yorkโ€™s requirement that health care workers be vaccinated against the coronavirus even when they cite religious objections.

 

As is often the courtโ€™s practice in rulings on emergency applications, its unsigned order included no reasoning. But Justice Neil M. Gorsuch filed a 14-page dissent saying that the majority had betrayed the courtโ€™s commitment to religious liberty.

 

Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. joined Justice Gorsuchโ€™s dissent. Justice Clarence Thomas also said he would have blocked the vaccine requirement, but he gave no reasons.

 

The Supreme Court in October refused to provide relief to health care workers in Maine who had made an essentially identical request in a challenge to a similar state requirement, over the dissents of the same three justices.

First Sergeant Symposium

Published Nov. 17, 2021

By Airman 1st Class Sarah Williams

17th Training Wing Public Affairs

 

GOODFELLOW AIR FORCE BASE, Texas โ€“

 

Goodfellow first sergeants hosted the Fall 2021 First Sergeant Symposium during the week of Nov. 1.

 

The symposium is held twice a year and is focused on preparing technical sergeants and master sergeants with the skills they need to serve as interim first sergeants.

 

โ€œThe symposium is important,โ€ said Senior Master Sgt. Erica Pratt, 17th Force Support Squadron and Wing Staff Agencies first sergeant. โ€œIt gives them an insight into what the job entails and what their responsibilities are.โ€

 

Members from the Goodfellow AFB First Sergeant Council, Airman & Family Readiness Center and multiple base organizations spoke during the symposium to provide insight on the additional responsibilities that come with being a first sergeant.

 

The symposium also included a commander's panel that was used to spark a communication link between commanders and future first sergeants. Commanders relayed what their junior enlisted need and what they expect from their unit first sergeants.

 

โ€œAn additional duty first sergeant is on the front line helping Airmen if they are in a difficult circumstance,โ€ said Capt. Chris Mitchell, Goodfellow AFB special victims counsel. โ€œIf they know our services, they can point the Airman to us to make sure they have the knowledge.โ€
