Justice Gorsuch Pens Scathing Dissent After SCOTUS Allows New York Vaccine Mandate To Stand

Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch penned a scathing dissent after the court ruled in favor of allowing a New York vaccine mandate for healthcare workers.
Justice Gorsuch was joined in his dissent by Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, but two other Donald Trump appointees, Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, sided with the liberal justices in allowing the mandate to stay, The Washington Examiner reported.
The court voted 6 -3 to reject a request that came from 20 anonymous doctors and medical faculty workers, the majority of whom were Catholic, to grant a religious exemption to the vaccine mandate.
“These applicants are not ‘anti-vaxxers’ who object to all vaccines,” Justice Gorsuch said. “Instead, the applicants explain, they cannot receive a COVID–19 vaccine because their religion teaches them to oppose abortion in any form, and because each of the currently available vaccines has depended upon abortion-derived fetal cell lines in its production or testing.”
