SMITHTOWN, New York—As New York State’s mandate for all health care workers to be vaccinated against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus went into effect on Sept. 27, several unvaccinated health care industry employees and their supporters held a rally outside St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center in Smithtown, Long Island.
The rally began at 11 a.m., and one of the first two participants to arrive was Karen Roses, a patient care technician at a Northwell hospital in Riverhead, New York.
