Very interesting, because I always wondered what exemption an atheist would've applied for. Medical? I worked with a guy who applied for a medical exemption and they told him to: "go to the hospital to get the vaccine, so if something happens you'll already be at the hospital 😀" so what would an atheist do if he objected to the vaccine? They went so far out of their way to "protect" religious rights, they totally forgot about atheists!

If I was the head of the NY Times, I would hire you in a heartbeat.

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I doubt I'd be covering this topic if I took that job, though. LOL.

Wow the judge sounds like he understands the law better than most Americans!

Any mandate is apartheid period.

"Can I ask you, why does due process require just religious and medical exemptions? I mean, isn't your broader claim that the condition is being applied unlawfully in general, even to people who don't have a religious objection or a medical objection? "

Hello Gabriel Dalmau, I am pained by the great injustice you have suffered in New York City, but I also salute you, and thank you very much for speaking out, and so well as you have.

I wanted to tell you also that, as part of my project of transcribing censored and shadow-banned testimony from 2021-2023, I transcribed your testimony here:

https://transcriberb.substack.com/p/gabriel-dalmau-sanitation-worker

and also transcribed your 2022 public testimony here:

https://transcriberb.dreamwidth.org/51029.html

I wanted to share the 2022 transcript with you at the time, but I did not know how to contact you.

P.S. The List of Transcriptions, with all the selected testimonies from the NYC council hearings to date (more are in-progress), is here:

(I use Substack simply to spotlight the transcripts. I actually post them over on https://transcriberb.dreamwidth.org. If you're ever curious to read more, the why and wherefores of my transcribing censored and shadow-banned videos from 2021-2023 are here:

My best wishes to you and all the NYC workers, indeed all people who lost their jobs because of the mandates. May justice prevail.

Hello Transcriber B. Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it. We have all certainly endured a grave injustice at the hands of our elected officials and union leadership. My hope is that we will all be made whole once again, and be able to move forward with our lives. Thank you for your work and helping to spread the message of what we are going through. May true justice prevail, indeed!
