Judge dismisses firefighter group's lawsuit over L.A. vaccine policy

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge dismissed a lawsuit brought by a group of L.A. firefighters over the city's COVID-19 vaccine requirement.

, claimed the vaccination mandate violates their right to privacy under the California Constitution. The lawsuit said the city doesn’t have the power to “order forced vaccinations of its employees or residents” and that “the vaccine mandate is both unnecessary and ineffective in protecting the public.”

“And it confirms the concerns we had about Judge Linfield’s ability to be impartial during the previous hearing in which he made similarly inflammatory comments,” Howard said. “It’s time for everyone in the city family to step up,” Feuer said. “Cases are finally coming down. Getting vaccinated and boosted can help us continue this encouraging, and long overdue, trend.”
