Navy SEALs Win Legal Victory Over COVID-19 Vaccine Refusal on Religious Grounds, Reach Settlement

Jul 25, 2024, 01:23 PM

Navy SEALs and sailors who were fired for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine on religious grounds have won a significant legal victory against the Biden administration. The Navy has settled a lawsuit with these personnel, allowing them to have their records corrected and protecting them against discrimination on promotion boards for the next three years. This settlement follows a broader trend of military personnel seeking accountability and relief for issues related to COVID-19 vaccine mandates. In a related development, a military review board has granted 'full relief' to a 24-year-old soldier, SPC Karoline Stancik, who developed a debilitating heart condition linked to the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. This decision came after an investigation exposed allegations of abandonment by the Army and National Guard.
