A judge ruled in favor of three parents and their right to refuse coerced vaccination for their children to attend school. Nevertheless, the ruling is limited to just those families.

In a victory against forced vaccinations, a mother of a four-year-old recently won her case against the state.
LifeSiteNews reported that Miranda Guzman, along with two other parents, were granted a temporary injunction against the forced vaccination of their children. The little ones will now be permitted to attend schools in Raleigh County, West VA without being vaccinated.
“Circuit Judge Michael Froble ruled that the state’s mandatory school vaccine law is invalid without a religious exemption to the law,” West Virginia Watch reported. “If there were any question, he said, the state’s Equal Protection for Religion Act of 2023 makes it clear the law should make exceptions for religious beliefs.”
On Thursday, a state judge ruled in favor of Guzman and the other parents. Guzman “maintains profound religious objections to injecting her four-year-old child, A.G., with the vaccinations required,” the lawsuit stated, as previously reported by LifeSiteNews. Nevertheless, the ruling is restricted to just these parents, according to West Virginia Watch. Still, the case opens the door for other parents who oppose the vaccine policy.
“The court finds that only requiring school kids in the public school to have vaccinations, but not requiring adults and other people and having learning pods and having athletic activities that does occur really diminishes any kind of argument that compelling state interest in only making sure that children in the public school or attending public schools are receiving their mandatory vaccinations, and that they are disregarding their rights for exercising their religion,” Froble wrote in his ruling.
The case set in opposition the state’s Department of Health and Governor Patrick Morrisey against individual school districts. Morrisey says that the 2023 Equal Protection for Religion Act requires schools to give exemptions.
But the school districts and board officials contend that such a provision is not spelled out in the law. A proposal to enshrine those exact exceptions into law did not pass the legislature this year. There could be a hearing in the next two weeks on a permanent injunction, West Virginia Watch reported.
