A series of recent court rulings have addressed the legality of COVID-19 vaccine mandates in various contexts. In British Columbia, Supreme Court Justice Simon Coval upheld the extension of vaccine mandates for healthcare workers, stating that while the mandates obstructed certain freedoms, these were secondary to essential public health objectives. Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry was justified in extending the mandate. In contrast, a federal arbitrator found that Canada Post's mandatory vaccination policy for remote employees was unreasonable, leading to a favorable outcome for 37 suspended employees. Terminated healthcare workers in British Columbia won't be returning to work anytime soon. Meanwhile, in the United States, the Court of Appeals struck down the University of Colorado's COVID-19 vaccine mandate, declaring it violated the U.S. Constitution, specifically the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause. This ruling could set a precedent for future attempts to enforce vaccination requirements on college campuses.
