evidence: US appeals court rejects CU’s vaccine mandate, cites ‘religious animus’ by: Heather Willard [...] DENVER (KDVR) — A U.S. Court of Appeals ruled on May 7 that the University of Colorado Anschutz School of Medicine‘s COVID-19 vaccination mandate and refusal to include a religious exemption were unconstitutional under the First Amendment, according to court documents. [...] According to the appeals decision, the court found that the administration "decided that ‘it is ‘morally acceptable’ for Roman Catholics to take vaccines against COVID-19 and that any Roman Catholic objections to the COVID-19 vaccine are ‘personal beliefs,’ not ‘religious beliefs.'"
