Liberty Counsel Fights Against Military Shot Mandates in Navy SEAL 1 Case

Liberty Counsel has filed a class action lawsuit along with a motion for a temporary restraining order and injunction against Joseph R. Biden, U.S. Secretary of the Department of Defense Lloyd Austin and U.S. Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas on behalf of members from all five branches of the military - Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard - federal employees and federal civilian contractors, who have been unlawfully mandated to get the COVID shots or face dishonorable discharge from the military or termination from employment.

In a sworn statement to Liberty Counsel, one Navy Chaplain stated, "I personally observed tremendous amounts of coercion, bullying, censorship, and intimidation being brought forth by the command to bear against the personnel who expressed objections of any kind to the COVID shot mandates, including religious objectionsAnd clearly, the military has lost more lives to the increase in suicide from 2020-2021 than to all of COVID in 2 years, but suicide has not been a focus."

On August 24, Secretary of Defense Austin sent out the "Mandatory Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination of Department of Defense Service Members" in which he stated, "The Secretaries of the Military Departments should impose ambitious timelines for implementation. Military Departments will report regularly on vaccination completion using established systems for other mandatory vaccine reporting."
