Children\u2019s Health Defense supported the lawsuit filed by William Ouweleen which challenged the constitutionality of the emergency mask mandate requiring unvaccinated people to wear masks while vaccinated people could go mask-free.<\/h3>\n

(Children\u2019s Health Defense<\/a>) \u00ad\u2013 The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) on Aug. 27 repealed an\u00a0emergency mask mandate<\/a>\u00a0after a\u00a0lawsuit<\/a>\u00a0was filed Aug. 5 in federal court challenging the regulation.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit was brought by William Ouweleen, vintner for\u00a0the oldest dedicated sacramental winery in America<\/a>. Ouweleen challenged the constitutionality of the NYSDOH regulation\u00a010 NYCRR 66-3<\/a>, which required unvaccinated people to wear masks while vaccinated people could go mask-free.<\/p>\n

Prior to filing the lawsuit, Ouweleen was twice cited by patrons of the winery for not wearing a mask, and was informed by the local health department he could be fined or closed down, or both, if additional complaints were received.<\/p>\n

In the complaint, Ouweleen alleged the regulation violated his constitutional rights and was not justified by science, citing\u00a0confirmation<\/a>\u00a0by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that vaccination does not prevent transmission of SARS CoV-2.<\/p>\n

In addition to challenging the mandates on equal protection grounds, the suit challenged mask mandates in general.<\/p>\n

Attorney Sujata Gibson filed the complaint on behalf of Ouweleen.\u00a0Children\u2019s Health Defense<\/a>\u00a0(CHD) supported the lawsuit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is simply no reason to issue different requirements for vaccinated and unvaccinated New Yorkers\u201d said CHD Chairman and Chief Legal Counsel, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.<\/p>\n

\u201cPublic health officials around the world acknowledge that these vaccines are for personal protection only. This mandate wasn\u2019t evidence-based. It was meant to coerce people into taking experimental vaccines and to shame and bully those that exercise their federally guaranteed right to opt-out.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
