Judge Dismisses Lawsuit of Fired Officers Over COVID Vaccine Mandate
Two former Bellingham police officers, Michael Scanlon and Jonathan Weiss, had their lawsuit against the city and police department dismissed by a Whatcom County Superior Court judge. The officers, who were fired for not getting the COVID-19 vaccine despite having religious exemptions, claimed religious discrimination. They argued that the city violated the Civil Rights Act by not providing alternative measures like masking or testing. The judge, however, ruled that the citys vaccine mandate was necessary for public safety, especially during high virus spread, and dismissed the case with prejudice.
