Now that Mayor Eric Adams has created an exception to the private sector vaccine mandate for the city's professional athletes and performers, a flurry of new lawsuits is expected to be filed.
Demarest Gold added that while there might be a valid reason for the mandate change — athletes generally play on a court or field, away from the general public — she nonetheless said plaintiffs will argue "disparate treatment."
Louis Gelormino, an attorney with Staten Island law firm F&G Legal Group, has brought a few so far unsuccessful challenges to variousmandates, including a private-sector class-action lawsuit. He said the mayor's move has effectively created two different classes of people. In his view, one class is now benefiting from the so-called "Kyrie Carveout" and another class can still be fired from their jobs for refusing a vaccine.
