ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- A corrections officer is suing a New Mexico county over a requirement that first responders and other employees be vaccinated, setting up another legal fight during a pandemic that is testing local and federal public health laws.
Isaac Legaretta says in a complaint filed Feb. 26 in federal court that a directive forcing Dona Ana County employees to take vaccines that are not yet fully approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration violates federal law.
Legaretta is facing termination for declining a vaccination. His attorney, N. Ana Garner, is seeking an injunction to keep the county from firing or disciplining the officer before a ruling is issued. The attorney said that while she's not aware of a similar lawsuit in the U.S., she would be surprised if there was none.
The complaint centers on the FDA’s authorization of the vaccines for emergency use, noting that the clinical trials, which officials will rely on to ultimately decide whether to license vaccines, are still underway. It could take two years to collect adequate data to determine safety and effectiveness, the complaint said.
The complaint cites guidance from the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including statements made by federal health officials during a public meeting last year in which they said vaccines under emergency use authorizations may not be mandated.

But, Dr. Mengele ( er, Fauci ) says the proletariat must get the magic shot.
U vil’ not be permitted to travel if U do not !
The legal guild will be making a fortune from litigation over these covid vaccines for decades and we the taxpayers will foot the bill.
Papers Please.
No Papers? I'm sorry, but you cannot work, eat, travel, shop or even live here.
Truckstop chiropractors are going to have a field day filling out fake versions of that sh!t for $25 apiece.
The certain outcome is he’ll either get the vax, or he’ll give up his job.
And this will apply to ALL LEO and military.
Right or wrong, you can take it to the bank.
I dont think theres been a law suit yet for religious reasons...
It is illegal under federal law to force vaccination so long as the EUA is in effect. If the FDA approves the biologic then all bets are off.
Think about the Military. Not all the troops want the experimental therapy. If there was an organization with the ability to force its members to be vaccinated, the military is it. They would be told to do it or face Article 15 or a Courts Martial.
Those who have refused it are getting pressured to take it but are not being forced, yet.
