I'm convinced that the right way to fight back against mandates and censorship is lawsuits.

Corporations in particular are afraid of lawsuits because they have a lot of money. Sue them first.

But it's also useful to sue the government when they are violating our rights.

A nice suit started by https://www.americasfrontlinedoctors.org/ :

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT Court

AMERICA’S FRONTLINE DOCTORS

PETITION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER

vs.

XAVIER BECERRA, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, AND John & Jane Does I-V; Black & White Partnerships; and ABC Corporations I-V,

Defendants.

Dear Friend,

Today America’s Frontline Doctors filed a petition for a temporary restraining order against the U.S. Secretary of the U.S. Department of HHS, Xavier Becerra.

Here’s why:

Children are not guinea pigs: There is a statistically zero percent chance of young people dying of COVID-19. To promote an investigational product that has no long-term studies and no animal studies, to pressure parents and teens to use an experimental product that has not been fully approved by the FDA breaks all of the rules of medicine and the HHS’ own goal to protect Americans.

The expansion of the Emergency Use Authorization (EAU) for younger children is all risk and no benefit. HHS is ignoring the science and the data.

HHS is betraying its mission to, “enhance the health and well-being of all Americans…and by fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine, public health, and social services.”

Sadly, millions of parents are being misled by HHS Secretary Becerra and the FDA, and we are calling on the Federal Courts to stop Becerra and compel HHS to suspend the promotion and rush to administer a vaccine that has not been fully tested and approved.

COVID 19 Vaccine Side Effects: We’ve never seen this level of side effects for any vaccine without the FDA taking action. The Rotavirus vaccine was canceled for 15 cases of non-lethal side effects and the Swine Flu vaccine was canceled for 25 deaths. But now, by the CDC’s own data, we are seeing a 12,000 percent increase in deaths with these vaccines and they’re still promoting this to our kids.

Support the Science: Under the age of 20, the survivability rate for COVID-19 is 99.997 percent. More than 4,000 deaths have been tied to the administering of COVID-19 vaccines in the last four months as opposed to 1,500 total in the previous ten years for all vaccines.

This last fact alone should be enough to STOP this dangerous vaccine. But HHS, the FDA and the CDC are ignoring the science and they are putting the lives of our children on the line.

I noted a few weeks ago that a lawyer for the Los Angeles Unified School District had faced an obviously hostile panel of judges from the 9th Circuit while defending that district’s morally and scientifically insane Covid-19 “vaccine” mandate for its employees.

Soon after, the school board voted to drop the mandate, with board president Jackie Goldberg nonetheless shrieking like the dimwitted lunatic she is that the mandate had been entirely proper and wonderfully effective.




Yes, this is an image from September 26, 2023 ...

The LAUSD ended hundreds of careers with a shameful policy that attacked the principle of informed consent and the medical autonomy of its employees, then refused reasonable demands to change the policy, then dragged litigants through a long and expensive cycle of legal conflict — and then, facing not just obvious defeat but the prospect of making case law over the topic of their horrible behavior, they dropped the policy and told the court to consider the whole argument moot. Whoops, can’t make case law, now.

This is why it’s so hard to sue governments into behaving reasonably. If they’re winning, they play out the game. If they’re losing, they flip the board and scatter the pieces.

Finally, after LibsOfTikTok’s author, Chaya Raichik, had her lawyers send the Anti-Defamation League a spicily-worded demand letter, the ADL capitulated and removed Chaya from their awful “glossary of extremists.”




The so-called Anti-Defamation League has yet to call out any of the pro-Hamas protests or disgraceful politicians and insurrectionists, like Rashida Tlaib (D-Mi.). But Libs of TikTok sure got them going.

All Chaya ever did was republish crazy leftwing TikTok videos onto platforms that conservatives use, occasionally adding a snarky comment. But just that has been too much for the liberal machine, which has relentlessly tried to doxx and destroy the young conservative.

Now Chaya’s pushing back a little. Progress!

Murder, terrorism, and a host of abuses have been committed. On October 24, 2023, a request for a criminal investigation, particularly regarding the crime of Second Degree Murder while Committing Acts of Terrorism by Anthony Fauci and several other high-level federal officials, as well as Administrators of hospital systems providing care to patients in Florida, (“Accused”) was filed with the Attorney General of the State of Florida. The filing was made pursuant to the requests of 32 residents of Florida who are next-of-kin of relatives, and former healthcare providers, of deceased victims who perished due to the COVID-19 infection mismanagement and/or fatal “COVID countermeasure” treatments received while life-saving, treatments were suppressed & denied in Florida hospitals, nursing homes, and other facilities.

The two attorneys who extensively researched and compiled this brief, and many other concerned citizens, believe that it is essential that the Florida Attorney General and her staff conduct a thorough investigation to determine if the evidence contained in the filing (and/or other evidence found during the investigation) substantiates indictment of the Accused for the alleged, or related, crimes. If the evidence provides probable cause that crimes have been committed, then a Florida grand jury should indict these Accused and the state prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. Based on the currently available evidence, it appears that the most applicable crimes the Accused should be charged with are Second Degree Murder while Committing Acts of Terrorism and Florida RICO.

Presently, it is believed that no other request has been made to a state Attorney General similar to this filing with the Florida Attorney General. Based on the current legal landscape, if Fauci, et al are ever to be held accountable and punished for COVID-related crimes, such justice has to be delivered by a state or county level criminal court. For the truth of the victim’s and their families suffering to be heard and justice pursued on their behalf, we must not permit these horrific actions be left unchecked and unchallenged.

She Got the Best Covid Care the Government Allowed. She Is Among Thousands Who Died. Her Husband Is Suing.
Scott Mantel goes to court in what may be a landmark case for those who died when hospitals took government bonus money to give patients dangerous remdesivir while denying life-saving ivermectin.

She died seventy-seven days later, at age 52, after a brutal battle with both a virus and the hospital that took her in.

Now a lawsuit filed by her husband, Scott Mantel, asserts that Mount Sinai Nassau South Hospital blocked potentially life-saving treatment and bears responsibility for Bucko’s “wrongful death.” The case, seeking damages, may be the first of its kind in the nation.

At the center of Scott Mantel’s fight is ivermectin, an FDA-approved drug that showed promise in treating Covid, keeping people out of hospitals, and—the likely reason it was sidelined—thwarting the government’s plan for mass vaccination with an experimental mRNA technology. There would be no need for that approach if a cheap, safe, FDA-approved drug could successfully treat Covid.

Three years in, the battle to stop ivermectin has recently been called out in unheralded court rulings. One decision supported doctors who said the FDA had no right to effectively bar the use of ivermectin, which the agency wrongly portrayed as harmful and used only for livestock.

“FDA is not a physician,” the ruling said. “Nothing [in law] authorizes FDA to issue medical advice or recommendations.”

In another case, an appeals court said the White House “coerced,” commandeered, and intimidated social media platforms to go along with its Covid policies, likely in violation of the First Amendment. (That explains a lot, including my own suspension from Twitter on March 1, 2022, for a tweet that said, “Pharma is afraid of ivermectin. It should be.”)

Those cases, which are pending, demonstrate how Covid was micromanaged and suggest why people like Deborah Bucko needlessly died. In Bucko’s case, twice a court order was needed to force Mount Sinai to administer ivermectin, delaying urgent treatment by thirteen and eight days each. Twice Bucko was cut off after five days of treatment with ivermectin, even though she had improved significantly the first time, and the second round was prescribed for up to thirty-five days, records show.

She died awaiting a third court hearing.

https://thefederalist.com/2023/11/08/family-fbi-raided-for-dads-pro-life-advocacy-seeks-4-3-million-from-corrupt-doj/


A Pennsylvania family the FBI raided last September over the father’s pro-life advocacy filed two claims today for a total of $4.35 million in damages due to the FBI’s unconstitutional, “malicious,” and “corrupt” use of “excessive force.”

Mark Houck and Ryan-Marie Houck say in their legal filings obtained by The Federalist that their seven children continue to suffer as a result of the FBI raiding — with battering rams, ballistic shields, armor, and long rifles — the home of a nonviolent pro-lifer who didn’t own any guns and whose seven children were just waking for breakfast.

The Houcks “have lost three babies from miscarriages due to the stress of the FBI’s conduct and resulting prosecution” and subsequently been diagnosed with infertility, Ryan-Marie Houck’s filing says. She says she still cries for hours and the family’s high anxiety provoked by the raid has caused them to install security cameras and rarely leave home.

In the Sept. 23, 2022 raid, “Government agents aimed rifles and handguns at Mr. Houck from his porch and from behind vehicles in his yard and driveway,” Ryan-Marie Houcks’ complaint says. “They also aimed their weapons at Mrs. Houck, who slowly walked down a staircase to approach the Houcks’ front door. Mrs. Houck approached after Mr. Houck had already walked peacefully outside with his hands up. Any bullet that missed Mr. Houck could have struck Mrs. Houck or her children, who were stirring throughout the house and had gathered behind her on the staircase. The entire family was located directly downrange.”

The FBI said they put their guns away once Houck was arrested. The sunrise raid that included approximately 20 law enforcement officers was conducted after Mark Houck’s lawyer had informed the Department of Justice he would voluntarily turn himself in if requested. Mark Houck’s complaint says his 9-year-old daughter was terrified to find two officers dressed in black carrying rifles looking into their home through a back window. ...

A Pennsylvania jury acquitted Mark Houck in January on all charges the Department of Justice brought against him. The DOJ argued Houck had violated a federal law that prohibits physically obstructing abortion facilities. Houck and his son were 100 feet away from the facility when they were accosted by a pro-abortion escort.

Mark Houck’s complaint notes that, except for one single recent case, the DOJ has prosecuted only pro-lifers for alleged violations of the FACE Act used against him. The law is supposed to apply both to abortion supporters and pro-lifers, but the DOJ has almost exclusively used it against pro-lifers.

“The force used in the seizure of Mr. Houck was unreasonable. Mr. Houck had not been charged with a severe crime at the time of his arrest, nor had Mr. Houck ever been charged with a severe crime,” Mark Houck’s filing says. “Mr. Houck’s attorney had offered to accept a summons on Mr. Houck’s behalf in the event of an indictment. Mr. Houck did not pose an immediate threat to the safety of the officers or others. Mr. Houck did not resist arrest or attempt to evade arrest by flight. Mr. Houck has no history of being violent or dangerous. Mr. Houck, nor anyone living with Mr. Houck, was armed.”

Hold onto your butts, because this one’s a doozy. A lot of our focus has been on the RNA COVID-19 vaccines, especially the concerning phenomenon of negative effectiveness, but you may find it nice to see the similar DNA jabs getting trashed as well. The manufacturer of the AstraZeneca DNA jab is being sued in the British High Court, because it has apparently caused a bit too many injuries and deaths. In fact, it is reported that “it was recommend it no longer be given to the under-40s in the U.K. because the risk of receiving the jab outweighed the serious harm posed by Covid”. Wait, what? Read that again. What happened to “safe and effective”?! It’s not new to have court cases around the jabs (hi there), or to have people thinking the jabs aren’t worth the risk, but such things are now seen in mainstream news outlets, like the UK’s The Telegraph. Source. Even the BBC is interested. Source. And News.com.au in Australia. Source.

Lucky this garbage was never mandated, huh? Oh wait. Oops. Source. Sorry for the unnecessary deaths lol? Maybe the elites shouldn’t have knighted AstraZeneca’s CEO? Source. Maybe the BBC shouldn’t be so biased in their COVID reporting, so that they don’t need to ‘apologise’? Source. And to think, people like me were given shit just for mentioning some of the issues with AstraZeneca that were already being reported by the actual science and the mainstream news around two years ago. But now the Telegraph wants to win us over and even publish a related piece saying that “The young and healthy, who were at minimal risk from Covid, should not have been told they had to take the vaccine”? Source. Could you maybe have said that two years ago? Instead of acting like presstitutes to the great investor in COVID jabs, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation? Source. Source. Source.

Extra: Don’t act so shocked, we already knew the same few people own just about everything. Yes, even the drug companies and the mainstream news outlets, like Woody joked about.

Extra: When jabbed people have been injured and killed when they faced basically no risk from COVID, and unjabbed people like myself have been demonised, gaslit, and persecuted for making a sound personal health decision that is being increasingly validated, bullshit apologies are just not going to cut it. It’s time to pay up, bitches. We’re pissed af, we’re growing in number, and we’re coming for you. As they said in that great film about the GFC, The Other Guys, “I hope you like the taste of prison food. And penis.”

TEXAS IS SUING PFIZER! For Misrepresenting COVID-19 Vaccine Efficacy and Censorship

"The COVID-19 vaccines are the miracle that wasn’t."




From Ken Paxton’s November 30, 2023 Press Release:

“The facts are clear. Pfizer did not tell the truth about their COVID-19 vaccines. Whereas the Biden Administration weaponized the pandemic to force illegal public health decrees on the public and enrich pharmaceutical companies, I will use every tool I have to protect our citizens who were misled and harmed by Pfizer’s actions.”

“We are pursuing justice for the people of Texas, many of whom were coerced by tyrannical vaccine mandates to take a defective product sold by lies."

The legal complaint focuses on Pfizer’s claim that its vaccine was “95% effective” and argues that Pfizer's claim of 95% vaccine effectiveness is misleading, as it relies on relative risk reduction instead of the FDA's preferred metric, absolute risk reduction, which would show an effectiveness of only 0.85%.

All those who were fined for breaching Covid-era rules that were later declared unconstitutional will be reimbursed and their infractions will be deleted from records under a bill passed by the National Assembly on 20 September.

Between March 2020 and the end of May 2022 more than 62,000 infraction proceedings were launched under legislation that was subsequently ruled unconstitutional and the fines issued totalled €5.7 million, Justice Minister Dominika Švarc Pipan said in presenting the bill.

About 30% or just over €1.7 million in fines had been paid before enforcement was paused soon after the new government took office in June 2022.

Kaiser Permanente in CA is getting sued:

Kaiser is entirely complicit in the Globalist Vaccine Democide and Rockefeller medicine poisoning. If they go bankrupt, the doctors could wind up personally liable if any tainted monies endorsing the scourge can be seen to have fallen in their pockets, or there are documented bullying to take the vaccines out side of free choice and reasonable informed consents. I speculate there was a lot of 'vaccine capping' rampant at Kaiser, where doctors and personnel were rewarded for flogging vaccines.

Fraud, as usual, voids any legislated immunities. This is going to go on a long time and could bankrupt Kaiser and leave doctors in retirement pumping gas.

Of course, the Euro Demons who promulgated all this left the medical establishments knocked up and cold on the corner, and who knows if they will ever be called to count while their useful idiots tumble like dominos.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has now brought a suit to bring accountability for the fraud that resulted in record profits for the pharmaceutical industry. Last week, he filed a complaint alleging that Pfizer misrepresented Covid vaccine efficacy and “conspired to censor public discourse” in violation of Texas’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA).

While Big Pharma enjoys immense government-provided insulation from legal liability for vaccine injuries, it cannot lie to promote those products.

Paxton alleges that the $75 billion Pfizer has raked in through sales of Covid vaccines were the “direct and proximate result” of the company’s deceit.

The DTPA requires Paxton prove two questions to succeed in his case. First, he must establish that the company lied or failed to disclose known information concerning its Covid vaccine. Second, he must prove that the company’s fraud was designed to promote sales of the shots.

They need to move this case to a federal court, because that’s the court controlled by the criminal cartel masquerading as the US Government, and in that court they have absolutely nothing to worry about. When criminals investigate themselves, and find themselves guilty, they pat themselves on the back for the job well done and pay themselves a bonus.

https://notthebee.com/article/lawsuit-alleges-united-airlines-mocked-and-shamed-people-for-not-getting-jabbed-and-that-the-ceo-even-suggested-scarlet-letter-for-the-holdouts


United workers sue airline, say it mocked religious employees for not getting jabbed. Their CEO was particularly nasty, they claim.

Remember back in 2021 when about half of the country turned into evil, shaming vaccine experts who said you'd kill people if you didn't get the experimental shot?

Well, some workers at United Airlines haven't forgotten, and their lawsuit against their employer is a doozy!

A legal brief filed early Saturday in part of a larger lawsuit against the airline contains internal communications obtained in discovery, which shows management's effort to coerce religious employees to take the coronavirus vaccine at every turn. The effort was so blatant that one union president, Craig Symons, expressed to Scott Kirby and others that United was "over the line" and attempting to institute a "purge of religious orthodoxy," the brief revealed.

Scott Kirby, the CEO of United, was accused of attempting to purge religiously orthodox employees from the airline, and was incredibly frustrated by the religious exemptions to vaccines.

Yes, THIS guy wasn't a fan of his religious employees:



... United Airlines had the strictest of all mandates. They granted religious and medical exemptions to around 2,300 employees, but those employees weren't allowed to just continue their jobs. They were placed on unpaid leave and had all of their medical benefits stripped.

They didn't fire them, but they did stop paying them.

The plaintiffs won an injunction and can now work again, but United hasn't backed off of their policy. ...

He's also, in addition to being a drag queen, a self-loathing anti-white racist and anti-male sexist!



... At one point, Kirby allegedly proposed "requiring accommodated employees to walk around with special stickers on their badges broadcasting vaccination states," the brief states.

"Unsurprisingly, United's lawyers shot down this idea. And United acknowledged that Mr. Kirby's idea would ‘create conflict' in the workplace," the lawsuit alleges, citing internal communications. "In fact, even some HR employees were taken aback by Mr. Kirby's proposal, stating that putting stickers on unvaccinated employees' badges is ‘like the scarlet letter … Oh my goodness. Who are we???"‘

The vaccine mandates really brought out the absolute worst in some people, didn't it?
While some HR reps were apparently shocked at Kirby's attitude, others reportedly helped to perpetuate it throughout the company. ...

United also "employed religious language to coerce employees into getting vaccinated rather than seek a religious accommodation," the lawsuit alleges.

"United told employees that getting vaccinated was about ‘loving your neighbor and colleague as yourself,"' the brief alleges.

Where have we heard that before?

Maybe they got it from Francis Collins or any number of "progressive" Christians who guilted people into the vax!

“Late last week, the NSW Court of Appeal found that the Personal Injury Commission was correct in awarding Ms Diane Dawking (a special needs teacher) workers compensation for the psychiatric injury she suffered as a result of the Department of Education's repeated threat that if she did not inject herself with a drug still in clinical trials that she would lose her livelihood.”

According to a new lawsuit filed in December on behalf of two media organizations, those being The Daily Wire and The Federalist, as well as the State of Texas and AG Ken Paxton versus the U.S. Department of State (the State Department) through its Global Engagement Center (GEC) and various US government officials, it is alleged that the defendants are actively intervening in the news-media market to both censor and limit the circulation of disfavored press outlets. These illegal activities are being done covertly to suppress speech of the American press, and are a direct violation of the first amendment of the US Constitution. Furthermore, as the State Department is only authorized to spend taxpayer dollars for the administration of foreign affairs, this program also violates its Congressional mandate.

The lawsuit states:

The Daily Wire, LLC (“The Daily Wire”), FDRLST Media, LLC (“The Federalist”), (jointly “Media Plaintiffs”), and the State of Texas bring this civil action to halt one of the most egregious government operations to censor the American press in the history of the nation against the above-named Defendants for declaratory and injunctive relief, and other appropriate relief, and allege as follows:

1. The U.S. Department of State (“State Department”), through its Global Engagement Center (“GEC”), is actively intervening in the news-media market to render disfavored press outlets unprofitable by funding the infrastructure, development, and marketing and promotion of censorship technology and private censorship enterprises to covertly suppress speech of a segment of the American press.

2. Defendants have been granted no statutory authority to fund or promote censorship technology or censorship enterprises that target the American press, tarring disfavored domestic news organizations as purveyors of “disinformation.” There is no enumerated general power to censor speech or the press found in the United States Constitution, and the First Amendment expressly forbids it, providing: “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech or of the press.” U.S. CONST. amend. I.

3. The full breadth of Defendant GEC’s censorship scheme is currently unknown. At a minimum, Defendant GEC has funded, promoted, and/or marketed two American censorship enterprises: the Disinformation Index Inc., operating under the name Global Disinformation Index (“GDI”), and NewsGuard Technologies, Inc. (“NewsGuard”). These entities generate blacklists of ostensibly risky or unreliable American news outlets for the purpose of discrediting and demonetizing the disfavored press and redirecting money and audiences to news organizations that publish favored viewpoints.

4. Media Plaintiffs are branded “unreliable” or “risky” by the government-funded and government-promoted censorship enterprises of GDI and NewsGuard, injuring Media Plaintiffs by starving them of advertising revenue and reducing the circulation of their reporting and speech—all as a direct result of Defendants’ unlawful censorship scheme…”

“Yet, without authority and in direct violation of Congress statutory appropriation, Defendants have converted State Department resources and tools of warfare—information warfare—which were developed in the context of national security, foreign relations, and to combat American adversaries abroad, to use at home against domestic political opponents and members of the American press with viewpoints conflicting with federal officials holding the reins of this unlawful administrative power…”

“This lawsuit seeks injunctive relief to halt the unconstitutional and ultra vires actions of the State Department and put an end to one of the most audacious, manipulative, secretive, and gravest abuses of power and infringements of First Amendment rights by the federal government in American history.”

The North District Court of Texas has denied Pfizer’s motion to move the case to federal court against Pfizer for deceptive promotion and marketing. Texas petitioners can join the case until May 15, 2024, according to Karen Kingston, an independent medical-legal advisor and biotech analyst. The trial is scheduled for July 2025.

After the court decision, large losses in the value of their stocks befell Pfizer and their Chinese mRNA manufacturing partner (WuXi Biologics) and other Chinese biotech stocks. Pfizer has worked with these companies despite the well-known fact that they share data and intellectual property with the Chinese Community Party (CCP) and the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) in what the Chinese call the military-civil fusion. ...

One of many revelations: Did you know that the worthless PCR tests they stick up your nose have a much greater purpose? Often, the test swabs are sent back to their Chinese manufacturers, giving the Chinese Communist military an opportunity to study the DNA of Americans to tailor future biological weapons to our genetic makeup.

Shot-refusing employees that sued are winning their motions.

Based on privacy, religious, and medical reasons.

The MSM is not covering the fact that most employees are suing and settling with their past employers. That does not mean all succeed and our hearts go out to the brave clients and counsel who made an effort but could not find justice. Many of the latter will go on appeal and will help us all by reversing bad district court decisions. Here are a few litigation wins:

City of Glendale (1997) 14 Cal.4th 846, 895.

Varkonyi Case California: Varkonyi alleges that ULA’s refusal to grant a religious exemption constitutes discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. ULA now moves for summary judgment on Varkonyi’s two remaining claims, primarily contending that providing religious exemptions would impose undue hardship. Dkt. No. 54. Because a reasonable jury could conclude that the cost of granting the exemptions does not constitute undue hardship, the Court denies the motion. The Groff case changed the battlefield and was a key basis for the decision.

Wahl v. ABC-General Hospital.pdf (documentcloud.org): Here, the modern-day inquisition into the Plaintiff’s religious beliefs failed. Therefore, the Court denies summary adjudication of the issue whether Plaintiffs had genuine religious beliefs. ABC accommodated the Plaintiffs until the injections became available in Fall 2021. This cut against the corporate argument that it faced a hardship accommodating the employees. The measures Plaintiffs wished to follow had been effective from July 2020 through the fall of 2021, without having to stop production due to a COVID-19 outbreak. Based upon this record, the Court’s “hands are tied,” as they say. There are enough disputed facts that the jury, not the judge, must decide whether Plaintiffs could have been accommodated without an undue hardship to Defendant.

And in Oregon: Thompson v. Assante - The Court emphasized that religious beliefs need not be painfully detailed — which is what these bigoted employers request. A court should generally accept the assertion of a sincerely held religious belief…. The district court found the plaintiff's general assertion that his Catholic faith motivated his objection to the vaccine was satisfactory at the pleading stage to allege a religious conflict with an employment duty. The plaintiff did not need to explain in detail how the vaccine conflicted with his Catholic faith.

4. Media Plaintiffs are branded “unreliable” or “risky” by the government-funded and government-promoted censorship enterprises of GDI and NewsGuard, injuring Media Plaintiffs by starving them of advertising revenue and reducing the circulation of their reporting and speech—all as a direct result of Defendants’ unlawful censorship scheme…”

AWESOME.

Justice Glenn Martin found the Queensland Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll’s direction for mandatory Covid vaccination, issued in December 2021, to be unlawful under the Human Rights Act.

A similar Covid vaccination order issued by the Director-General of Queensland Health at the time, John Wakefield, was determined to be “of no effect,” with enforcement of both mandates and any related disciplinary actions to be banned.

In his decision handed down on Tuesday 27 February, Justice Martin held that the Police Commissioner “did not consider the human rights ramifications” before issuing the Covid workplace vaccination directive within the Queensland Police Service (QPS).

While the Covid vaccination directive to Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) workers was found to be lawful, Justice Martin said that the Director-General had failed to “establish that the direction he made is a term of employment of the applicants.”

Justice Martin chastised the Commissioner and the Director-General for their inflexibility in the implementation of vaccination directives and suggested that their actions were not properly supported by the evidence.

“Neither the Commissioner nor Dr Wakefield gave close attention to the possible range of solutions. Each was presented with a proposal for mandatory vaccination with little in the way of well-developed critiques of alternative means of reducing illness and infection,” stated Justice Martin in the decision. ...

The decision, which resolved three lawsuits brought by law firms Alexander Law and Sibley Lawyers, is the “tip of the iceberg,” said Bond University associate law professor Wendy Bonyton.

Prof Bonyton told the Australian, “There are other cases, based on similar grounds, similarly challenging the legitimacy of directions given during the pandemic. This one is interesting because it is the first one to go through…There will be more of these cases to come.”

Australian businessman and politician, Clive Palmer, who reportedly contributed between $2.5 to $3 million towards funding the lawsuits involving 74 police officers, civilian staff and paramedics, said he is considering further legal action following the win.
