Judge Blocks COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate for Entire Navy
By Zachary Stieber March 29, 2022 Updated: March 29, 2022?bigger?smaller >?Print
The U.S. militarys COVID-19 vaccine mandate has been blocked for all
Navy members seeking religious exemptions.
A preliminary injunction that previously covered 35 Navy SEALs now
covers some 4,000 others.
U.S. District Judge Reed OConnor, a George W. Bush appointee who
entered the original ruling in January, agreed to expand it in part
because all members who have applied for religious exemptions have all
been harmed in essentially the same way.
Each is subject to the Navys COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Each has
submitted her religious accommodation request, and none has received >accommodation. Without relief, each servicemember faces the threat of >discharge and the consequences that accompany it. Even though their
personal circumstances may factually differ in small ways, the threat is
the sameget the jab or lose your job, he said in a 27-page order.
The Supreme Court recently sided with the Pentagon in the case, ruling
that Navy commanders can consider a members vaccination status when
deciding on deployment.
The new ruling means anyone in the U.S. Navy whose religious
accommodation from the vaccine mandate was denied is now protected from
any sort of punishment or involuntary separation, things like that,
said Mike Berry, a lawyer with First Liberty Institute, which represents
the plaintiffs in the case.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in August 2021 ordered all U.S. troops to
get a COVID-19 vaccine, asserting vaccination would help the force stay
ready and prevent contraction of the virus that causes COVID-19 vaccine.
The mandate has remained in place even as the three vaccines available
in the United States have proven increasingly ineffective against
infection from the virus, SARS-CoV-2, and have also waned against severe >disease.
As of March 23, 3,320 active-duty Navy members have requested a
religious exemption from the mandate, along with 864 reserve members.
Zero religious accommodation requests have been approved.
The Navy has declined to comment on court orders, referring comment to
the Department of Justice. A government lawyer did not respond to a
request for comment.
Berry told The Epoch Times his organization wanted to expand the case to >cover all service members seeking religious accommodation but under
federal rules, they were not able.
The case is currently proceeding on multiple fronts. While OConnor
ruled on the motions for an expanded injunction and to certify a class,
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit is considering an appeal
from the Navy from the original injunction.
The Navy has kicked out 630 members so far for refusing to get a
COVID-19 vaccine.

The U.S. military’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate has been blocked for all
Navy members seeking religious exemptions.
A preliminary injunction that previously covered 35 Navy SEALs now
covers some 4,000 others.
U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor, a George W. Bush appointee who
entered the original ruling in January, agreed to expand it in part
because all members who have applied for religious exemptions “have all
been harmed in essentially the same way.”
“Each is subject to the Navy’s COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Each has
submitted her religious accommodation request, and none has received
accommodation. Without relief, each servicemember faces the threat of
discharge and the consequences that accompany it. Even though their
personal circumstances may factually differ in small ways, the threat is
the same—get the jab or lose your job,” he said in a 27-page order.
The Supreme Court recently sided with the Pentagon in the case, ruling
that Navy commanders can consider a members’ vaccination status when
deciding on deployment.
The new ruling means “anyone in the U.S. Navy whose religious

The only *healthy* way to stop the pandemic, thereby saving lives, in
the U.S. & elsewhere is by rapidly ( http://bit.ly/RapidTestCOVID-19 ) finding out at any given moment, including even while on-line, who
among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e pre-symptomatic or
asymptomatic) in order to http://tinyurl.com/ConvinceItForward (John

doctor in hopes of stopping this pandemic. Thus, we're hoping for the
best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations and others like the Omicron, Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota,
Lambda, Mu & Delta lineage mutations combining via
slip-RNA-replication to form hybrids like

So how are you ?
