Santiago/Getty ImagesNEW YORK — An NYPD detective is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to halt the city’s vaccine mandate for municipal workers, arguing that Mayor Eric Adams’ decision to exempt Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving and other athletes and performers proves it’s an arbitrary rule.
“The Vaccination Orders are clearly arbitrary and capricious because a basketball player or theatre performer recently excused from the vaccination by the Mayor, is no less or no greater a risk than a police officer,” he said in an emergency application to the court filed on Thursday. “Basically it sends a message that this is an arbitrary rule — that if you’re rich enough and powerful enough and high profile enough, that you don’t have to play by the same rules as everyone else,” VarmaMarciano took de Blasio and Varma to court over the matter in 2021, but his lawsuit now targets Adams and his health commissioner, Ashwin Vasan.
