RawNews1st – ‘Significant Proof’ Air Force Has Discriminated Against Troops Seeking Religious Exemptions to Vaccine Mandate: Court
“Air Force members seeking religious exemptions from the U.S. military’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate have provided ‘significant proof’ that the military branch has discriminated against them, a federal appeals court ruled on Sept. 12.
A U.S. district court in July blocked the mandate for thousands of Air Force members who remain unvaccinated and have had their religious exemptions denied or not acted upon. In response, the government asked for an emergency stay.
When that was denied, the government went to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit, arguing that the ruling was wrong.
An appeals court panel said in its decision released Monday that plaintiffs had to provide significant proof that the Air Force had a policy to deny all requests for religious exemptions, and all indications are that they have.”
