Daniel Cameron: Religious right for airmen to be exempt from COVID vaccine

Cameron led a coalition of 21 states in filing a brief in support of military service members' religious liberty rights to be granted an exemption from the military's COVID-19 vaccine mandate. "Sacrificing to serve our country should not require members of the military to forfeit their right to religious liberty," Cameron said. "Attempts like those made by the Air Force to punish airmen for their sincerely held beliefs directly violate their constitutional rights as Americans."
