U.S. Marines Seek Class Relief from COVID Shot Mandate
TAMPA, FL - Liberty Counsel filed an amended complaint in federal court before Judge Steven Merryday seeking class action relief from the unlawful federal COVID shot mandate on behalf of 15 plaintiffs who currently serve in the United States Marine Corps. The additional Marines added to the existing complaint are in the Tampa District.
In the next couple weeks, Liberty Counsel will also be filing additional amended complaints adding service members from the various branches who are located in the Tampa District. Liberty Counsel will continue to press for class-wide injunctive relief for the all the military branches.
The plaintiffs are Marines who face a deadline to receive an injection that violates their sincerely held religious beliefs since all of the COVID shots are associated with aborted fetal cells. They have been refused any religious exemption or accommodation. These service members had until November 28, 2021, to become fully vaccinated. However, these dates have passed, and disciplinary actions have already commenced.
Relief is needed now to prevent these military heroes from facing dishonorable discharge, court martial, other life-altering disciplinary procedures, and termination.
