Court ruled university’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate violates Constitution

A federal court has ruled that a Colorado university’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate violates the U.S. Constitution. The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in 2021 required COVID-19 vaccination of all students and employees. It initially offered religious exemptions to anyone who applied, but later would “only recognize religious exemptions based on religious beliefs whose teachings are opposed to all immunizations.” Officials, for instance, said that Christian Scientists would qualify for an exemption but Buddhists would not. They also said that exemptions would only be granted to people who never received any vaccinations. “The court of appeals ruled,” “that no government entity has the right to appoint itself as a doctrinal tribunal that defines which religious beliefs count as deeply and sincerely held and deem those religious beliefs valid or invalid.” - More info: https://www.drtrozzi.news/p/wins-of-the-week-ep22-with-ted-kuntz
