 When someone is coerced into getting a vaxx against their personal beliefs, whatever they are, it causes irreparable harm.  They can’t reverse it, they can’t get it out of their bodies.  That and the fact that they are being forced to choose between their livelihood and their religious convictions.

Several United Airlines employees had filed for an injunction since they were being put on leave without pay due to their approved religious exemption from getting the vax.  The original injunction was not approved due to the judge (Pittman) using solely a financial litmus for the term ‘irreparable harm’.  The US 5th Circuit Court of Appeals recognized a second harm and sent the decision back for reexamination.  Two of the three judges on the panel, Oldham and Elrod, laid it out.

In response, Oldham and Elrod distinguished two separate aspects of irreparable harm in the United case, which informed their decision to reverse Pittman’s ruling.

“The first is United’s decision to place them on indefinite unpaid leave; that harm, and any harm that flows from it, can be remedied through backpay, reinstatement, or otherwise,” the judges wrote. “The second form of harm flows from United’s decision to coerce the plaintiffs into violating their religious convictions; that harm and that harm alone is irreparable and supports a preliminary injunction.”

Finally the courts are starting to recognize this injustice for what it is.
