The Americans lodging complaints against coronavirus vaccine mandates are a diverse lot a sheriffs deputy in North Carolina, nursing home employees in Wisconsin and students at the largest university in New Jersey.
But their resistance is woven together by a common thread: the involvement of a law firm closely tied to the anti-vaccine movement.
Attorneys from Siri & Glimstad a New York firm that has done millions of dollars of legal work for one of the nations foremost anti-vaccination groups are co-counsel in a case against the Durham County Sheriffs Office. Theyve sent warning letters to officials in Rock County, Wis., as well as to the president of Rutgers University and other schools.
The legal salvos show that a groundswell against compulsory immunization is being coordinated, at least in part, from a law office on Park Avenue in midtown Manhattan. And they offer a window into a wide-ranging and well-resourced effort to contest vaccine requirements in workplaces and other settings critical to the countrys reopening a dispute with sweeping implications for public health, state authority and individual rights...........................

There's no way it isn't organized....
Smallish newspaper...different, but related covid articles bring in tons of non-regular posters to the page and they are all ant-vaccine, anti-maskers. Each article seems to bring in a new set of posters.
