OP: The judicial order only states that the people working for the department of defense as civilian and active duty military members will not be fired while they waiting on rulings on their religious exemptions. The order has nothing to do with the Biden vaccine mandate going away.
A Washington, D.C., district court judge issued a minute order Thursday asking the Biden administration to agree that both civilian and active-duty military plaintiffs will not be terminated while they await a ruling after they sued the administration over religious exemptions to COVID-19 vaccines.
"None of the civilian employee plaintiffs will be subject to discipline while his or her request for a religious exception is pending," read a minute order from District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly.
