McMaster University wins court decision over student vaccine mandates

This ruling, the first on the merits of vaccine mandate policies in Ontario courts, focused on McMaster University’s decision-making process when it rejected vaccine exemption requests from the students.

Lorian Hardcastle, a health law expert at the University of Calgary law school, told the National Post this may be the first in a wave of COVID-19 related cases making their way into the courts. “I expect to see, in the coming months, various cases looking at not only vaccines but issues around masking and freedom of assembly,” Hardcastle said.

Last fall, when McMaster University implemented mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations, the four students applied for vaccine exemptions on religious grounds, arguing it violated their God-given right to bodily autonomy. The exemptions were rejected by the university and the students were unenrolled from their courses until they were vaccinated or the mandate ended. In court, McMaster University’s counsel argued the students were using “political objections dressed up as religious argument.”

This is a disgusting decision. That is against the charter ... Our liberal institutions have gone to the shifts

Religious organizations are becoming very politicized

Evil

VaccineChoiceCA Sadly what is happening is courts aren’t deciding according the definition of law. They are deciding in their opinion. Our laws say this is illegal but the courts do what they are told or what is considered popular or what they fear

Horrible.

Perfect

This is great! 🎉🎉
