Montana Court Says Unvaxxed Cannot be discriminated against

A U.S. appeals court on Oct. 9 removed the injunction blocking a Montana law that prohibits discrimination based on vaccination status

Montana House Bill 702, enacted in 2021, states that it is illegal for a person or government entity to deny a person services based on their vaccination status.

It also bars employers from requiring vaccination as a condition of employment.

The lower court held that the ADA requires employers to know the vaccination status of workers and to discriminate against unvaccinated workers, but the appeals court stated that has not been established.

The findings “show at most only ’the existence of a hypothetical or potential conflict’ between the ADA and HB 702, that is, a perceived conflict that is too speculative on these facts to justify preemption,” U.S. Circuit Judge Daniel A. Bress wrote.

Chase Scheuer, press secretary for Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen said:

“This is great news for Montanans. No one should be subject to discrimination because of their vaccination status”

There is no mention of school vaccinations in this article but school mandates also need to be overturned.

    I don’t need any idiot government telling me that because I make certain choices that might be in my best interest and not theirs, it leaves me open to discrimination and sanctions. That is tyranny and the very reason government continues to fail as a viable choice for humanity to live under.
