The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that Americans have no right to resist draconian state-level vaccine mandates. The ruling effectively means that public health officials can never make a mistake when it comes to setting vaccine policy. According to the court, Americans have no recourse when their state decides to force them to take any vaccine. This is a shocking blow against medical freedom, bodily autonomy, and informed consent for all Americans.
The case was Curtis v. Inslee. When reports started coming out in 2021 about people dying and getting incredibly sick from the mRNA COVID “vaccines,” more than 80 nurses at PeaceHealth refused to take the jabs. PeaceHealth is a private, non-profit health organization in Washington state.
Former Washington Governor Jay Inslee, who is a raving communist, mandated the shots for all state employees. His mandate required the shots; otherwise, you would be fired from your job. Every state employee in Washington state was forced to choose between their job and getting jabbed.
As we reported in 2021, Governor Inslee was so gung-ho for the vaccine mandates that he set up concentration camps for the unvaccinated in his state. Do you remember what his plan was? Inslee was going to take unvaccinated children away from their parents, stick them in the concentration camps, and forcibly give them the Covid mRNA shots.
Fortunately, the plan never came to fruition. But Inslee built the camps. That actually happened.
When the nurses at PeaceHealth in Washington refused to take the jabs, they were all fired. They sued Inslee on the grounds that they were coerced to take an “investigational” medicine. The plaintiffs cited the CDC’s vaccine program agreements, the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) act, the PREP Act, and other existing case law, alleging that they were unjustly fired and they were not offered religious or medical exemptions for choosing not to take the jabs.
The court rejected every argument. They claimed the nurses had no constitutional right under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to refuse to take the COVID jabs, and that their private employer had every right to fire them for it. The court also stated that COVID vaccine mandates were a “rational” public health policy, and therefore no one in the public or private sectors had any grounds to refuse them.
Inslee’s vaccine mandate only applied to Washington state employees. PeaceHealth implemented a policy that mirrored the mandates for its private employees. Since the Ninth Circuit is a federal appeals court, the ruling effectively means that as of this moment, no American is safe from the next vaccine mandate that is imposed. Only a ruling from the US Supreme Court will be able to overturn this.
The courts have now asserted that vaccine mandates are “rational,” even when religious and medical exemptions are limited. Religious exemptions were treated as a joke by the Biden regime and Democrat governors.
Out of 2.1 million uniformed military personnel, the Biden regime only granted fewer than 4,500 religious exemptions. Many service members relented and took the shots, rather than have it destroy their military careers. Nearly 10,000 were kicked out of the military for refusing the COVID jabs, after the Biden regime claimed that they were “not Christian enough” to request a religious exemption.
And good luck to anyone who thinks they can find a non-brainwashed doctor who would give them a medical exemption. The Biden regime tried to prosecute Dr. Kirk Moore in Utah when he gave out nearly 2,000 fake vaccination cards to children and parents. People like Dr. Moore are exceedingly rare in the modern medical community.
This devastating ruling from the Ninth Circuit now means that all workers—government and private—are at the mercy of state policies and their employers. There is no federal protection for workers if their boss or their state government decides to mandate vaccines, including dangerous experimental ones like the mRNAs.
Unless you are an independent contractor or you have a boss who is not a communist jerk, you can be forced to take the next experimental so-called “vaccine” that comes along. This is a huge blow against medical freedom and the MAHA movement. The plaintiffs have not yet decided whether they will appeal this ruling to the US Supreme Court. Let’s hope they do.
