IT Specialist Awarded $12.69M For Denied Religious Exemption from Vaccine Mandate

 A Michigan federal district court jury last week awarded damages of $12,690,000 to an IT specialist who was fired from her position after she refused for religious reasons to comply with her employer's Covid vaccine mandate. In Domski v. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, (ED MI, Nov. 8, 2024) (Jury Form), plaintiff contended that her Catholic religious beliefs precluded her from complying because of the use of fetal cells in the development of the Covid vaccines. Plaintiff had been employed by Blue Cross Blue Shield for 38 years. Law Enforcement Today and WWJ Radio report on the jury verdict.
