CDC removes guidelines concerning COVID shot
The CDC has finally admitted their COVID guidelines were incorrect. According to reports the CDC quietly changed their guidelines to reflect what several doctors were once villainized for during pandemic lockdowns. The new guidelines are now more focused on those at risk for severe illness such as the elderly and those with previous underlying health issues. The guidelines include an admission by the CDC that those who have natural immunity from COVID-19 have “some degree of protection against severe illness from their previous infection.” This statement basically agrees with previous reports by several immunologists who criticized the Biden administration. Most were angered that the administration did not acknowledge natural immunity and pushed for people to take the shot as the only way to fight against COVID-19. Discrimination lawsuits are expected to increase following the change in CDC guidelines; thousands around the U.S. lost their jobs for refusing to take the shot. States including New York and California even went as far as banning people from public areas such as gyms, restaurants, and medical facilities if they had not taken the shot. The head of the CDC, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, admitted the organization failed in their role sharing COVID- 19 information which critics believe directly led to restrictive mandates nationwide.
Federal judge sides with Marine Corps troops in lawsuit
A federal judge has ruled in favor of members of the US military over recent military shot mandates. A federal judge has granted a temporary injunction against the Department of Defense concerning the COVID shot. The injunction will suspend the mandate for all members of the US Marine Corps reservists and active duty from having to take the shot. Members of the Marine Corps who filed the lawsuit are being represented by the Liberty Counsel. The justice in the case commented on the Corps’ lack of granting religious exemptions to soldiers who refused the shot. Justice Steven Merryday called the choice of choosing between religious beliefs and the ability to serve in the military as a systemic failure by the Marine Corps. Only 11 religious exemptions were granted out of the 37-hundred Marines that applied for this request. Merryday continued saying those who refused the shot would still be physically able to fulfill their obligations and this refusal did not affect their ability to serve.
