Loading ...Judge Blocks Vaccine Mandate For Navy Members Seeking Religious Exemptions
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.”
