Vaccine Victory: Mississippi must provide the option for a religious exemption to Mandatory Vaccine Law

This ruling sets a legal precedent with the potential to change the entire nation.

HISTORIC WIN FOR MISSISSIPPI AND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

RELIGIOUS EXEMPTIONS FOR ALL VACCINES WILL NOW BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR MISSISSIPPI SCHOOLCHILDREN

On April 18th 2023, Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), with their legal team led by lawyer Aaron Siri, had a historic win in federal court.

As a federal judge tasked with interpreting the United States Constitution, Judge Sul Ozerden issued a measured written opinion today recognizing that the First Amendment of the United States Constitution demands that a religious exemption option be provided if the state offers secular exemptions (which it does).

Practically, what this ruling means is that, by July 15, 2023, Mississippi must provide the option for a religious exemption to the state’s vaccination requirements for schoolchildren.
