New York City workers fired for refusing COVID jab ask Trump, Vance, RFK Jr. to reinstate them
From LifeSiteNews
Their letter ‘brings attention to the fact that Mayor Eric Adams is the number one obstacle preventing unvaccinated workers from being brought back to their jobs and getting compensated.’
A group of former New York City workers representing thousands who were fired or displaced from their jobs for declining the city’s unconstitutionally mandated COVID-19 vaccine based on religious or medical grounds sent a letter to President-elect Donald Trump, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, and Health and Human Services Secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr., asking for help with being reinstated to their jobs.
“The letter (included below) draws attention to the plight they have been fighting for more than three years in the courts, in the streets, and in City Hall trying to get back to doing what they do best — working for the City of New York,” explained Michael Kane, writing at the Teachers for Choice Substack.
“Firefighters, cops, teachers, sanitation workers, medical professionals and more have asked the incoming presidential administration for help getting back to their employment,” Kane wrote. “The letter brings attention to the fact that Mayor Eric Adams is the number one obstacle preventing unvaccinated workers from being brought back to their jobs and getting compensated.”

Dear President-Elect Trump and Vice President-Elect Vance,
In the Fall of 2021, thousands of well-performing New York City employees, including but not limited to firefighters, police officers, teachers, social workers, sanitation workers, medical doctors, nurses, plumbers and doormen were unlawfully placed on leave without pay and subsequently terminated by the duplicitous leaders of New York City for non-compliance with the unconstitutional COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
Many City workers had to choose under duress to take the shot in order to keep making a living. Others were coerced into early retirement, waiving their labor rights or resigning. This mass reduction in the City’s workforce has caused a critical staff shortage. Former Mayor Bill de Blasio, his then Health Commissioner Dave Chokshi, Mayoral Expert Advisor Jay Varma, Mayor Eric Adams and his then Health Commissioner Ashwin Vasan are only some of the political leaders and health bureaucrats who violated our constitutional and labor rights. The two former NYC Department of Education (DOE) Chancellors, Meisha Porter and David Banks, embraced the vaccine mandate and cooperated in removing DOE employees, as did the UFT President Michael Mulgrew and AFT President Randi Weingarten. Much has changed in the past three years, and there are many revelations now that we were lied to about almost every aspect of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Thousands of unvaccinated workers nationwide have gone through hell due to the COVID-19 vaccine mandates. For the past three years, New York City workers had our wages illegally seized, which has led to the loss of income, loss of property, loss of medical insurance, poverty, humiliation, emotional distress and family discord. Many of us have gone from having a good income with a plan for retirement to meet our basic needs and secure our family well-being, to living hand to mouth, losing our homes and other assets, having to move in with family, and even move to other states and countries. Some of us were foreclosed upon. Some ended up in the shelter and welfare systems. At least one committed suicide.
The morale and mental health of all City workers, both public and private sectors, have been dealt a severe blow by the vaccine mandate firings. Many City workers have taken legal actions against the City of New York and other parties involved in the hope of correcting the irreparable harm. Some courts and juries have rendered decisions in favor of the unvaccinated workers, but relief has not been awarded because the City of New York and Mayor Eric Adams keep appealing the decisions at the taxpayers’ expense, which is a reckless use of public funds.
According to available records, in 2023, Mayor Adams hired 30 additional attorneys at a taxpayer cost of $5,000,000.00 a year, just to keep up with the lawsuits filed by the fired employees who tirelessly worked during the COVID-19 pandemic, without vaccines and PPE. His actions are beyond outrageous and disheartening.
Based on Court decisions rendered in Michigan, California, Illinois and Colorado, New York seems to be the only state that has not awarded relief to the unlawfully terminated workers. Despite all the cruelty and financial hardship unvaccinated workers are faced with, we are standing firm in our pursuit of justice. We know that you are committed to uphold the Constitution as it pertains to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for We The People.
Therefore, we respectfully ask that you please help City workers, members of the military and all other citizens who were unlawfully forced out and fired as a result of the vaccine mandate.
Sincerely,
****
The 250+ signatories of the letter, who have thousands of years of service to the city between them, have come together under the umbrella of “NY Workers for Choice,” representing Bravest for Choice, Teachers for Choice, Finest Unfiltered, Court Workers for Choice, Cops 4 Freedom, Educators for Freedom, Strongest for Freedom and Medical Professionals for Informed Consent.

Canadian parents wary of COVID, flu shots for children
From LifeSiteNews
Government research has found that Canadian parents do not plan to inject their children with COVID or flu shots, pointing to the ineffectiveness of the shots and potential side effects
Canadian parents are remaining wary of COVID and flu shots for children despite ongoing publicity campaigns.
According to in-house research by the Public Health Agency obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter, many Canadian parents do not plan to inject their children with the experimental COVID shots, pointing to the ineffectiveness of the shots and potential side effects.
“Continued monitoring of parental knowledge and views around Covid-19 and influenza are important to adapt public communication and education accordingly,” the report said.
“Monitoring parental attitudes is essential to predict expected vaccine take-up and guide education and awareness efforts to promote vaccination,” it continued.
In Canada, COVID shots are both approved and encouraged for all children over six months of age, despite the fact that the latest Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 shots for children under 12 were only granted emergency use authorization in the U.S.
The research asked parents if they planned to give their children updated COVID shots, to which only 17 percent said they “definitely will”; 26 percent said they “probably won’t”; and 28 percent said they “definitely won’t.”
Those who planned to refuse the reoccurring shots revealed they were “concerned there was not enough research on the vaccine,” questioned the effectiveness of the shots, mistrusted the government information surrounding COVID shots, or their doctor had never mentioned it.
Similarly, 19.5 percent reported being “somewhat hesitant” to give their child the COVID shot, while 21 percent said they were “very hesitant.”
Likewise, parents were hesitant to give their children annual flu shots, over concerns of it being unnecessary and potential side effects.
According to 2021 data, only 17.49 percent of children ages five to 11 in Canada have received at least one dose of the COVID injection. Additionally, of elementary school-age kids who have had both doses of the COVID shots, only 0.6 percent are counted as “fully vaccinated.”
Parents’ hesitancy to jab their young children comes after research has proven that the COVID shots are not only unnecessary but pose serious health risks, especially to children.
Since the start of the COVID crisis, official data shows that the virus has been listed as the cause of death for less than 20 kids in Canada under age 15. This is out of six million children in the age group.
The COVID jabs approved in Canada have also been associated with severe side effects, such as blood clots, rashes, miscarriages, and even heart attacks in young, healthy men.
The mRNA shots have also been linked to a multitude of negative and often severe side effects in children.
A report from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) showed at least 21,000 side effects, with 24 deaths of American children ages 12 to 17 after COVID shots.

Ottawa cop sues CBC after she was suspended for investigating link between COVID shot, infant deaths
From LifeSiteNews
Ottawa Police Service detective Helen Grus is suing the CBC for $875,000 for publishing ‘false’ and ‘harmful’ articles regarding her probe into the link between COVID vaccination and sudden infant deaths, according to True North.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is being sued by an Ottawa detective who investigated the deaths of babies following the rollout of the experimental COVID-19 vaccines.
Ottawa Police Service detective Helen Grus is suing the CBC for $875,000 for publishing “false” and “harmful” articles regarding her probe into the link between COVID vaccination and sudden infant deaths (SIDs), according to information obtained by True North. After it was revealed that Grus was conducting these investigations, she was suspended from performing her duties by the Ottawa Police Service’s professional standards unit, which filed a disciplinary charge against her, forcing her to defend her actions in front of a tribunal.
“(Grus’s) concerns regarding a potential link between the novel COVID-19 vaccinations and an increase in sudden death of infants were well within her remit as a police officer to preserve life,” Grus’ lawyer Bath-Shéba van den Berg wrote in a statement to True North about the lawsuit.
“Babies died suddenly, in circumstances identical to the adverse events reported by Pfizer’s clinical data,” she continued.
“It is the duty of (the) Ottawa Police Service to properly investigate the sudden deaths of infants, which includes asking whether, or not the infants or parents took any COVID-19 vaccinations. Failure to ask about medical history is tantamount to a negligent investigation,” van den Berg added.
According to the lawsuit, the CBC launched a “adverse campaign of publishing harmful, malicious, and harassing newspaper articles containing false statements” against Grus through a series of articles published in 2022 and 2023.”
A March 31 article referred to Grus as an “anti-vaccine Ottawa police detective going rogue.” The CBC also claimed that Grus contacted the coroner to learn the vaccination status of parents, which Grus later testified at her disciplinary tribunal did not happen.
Additionally, lead PSU investigator Sgt. Jason Arbuthnot revealed that parents were informed of a confidential and internal police investigation involving Grus, prior to the publication of the CBC’s articles, contrary to the sequence of events offered by the outlet.
Grus and her lawyer argue that the probe into the deaths was within Grus’ sphere of authority as a member of the sex assault and child abuse (SACA) unit, which is tasked with investigating deaths of children under five. Additionally, protocol for SIDs includes gathering information regarding the medical history of parents, including all street, over-the-counter and prescription drug use.
Grus revealed she was prompted to investigate the link between SIDs and the COVID shot after an unusual number of infant deaths occurred in 2021 following the COVID vaccine rollout.
Grus’ tribunal trial remains ongoing and she will attend another tribunal hearing Tuesday as lawyers from both sides present their closing submissions.
