On Monday, the Supreme Court turned away a group of healthcare workers who sought exemptions from their Boston-based hospital’s mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy. While left-leaning articles highlight that the court order against the health care vaccine mandate comes after Biden’s administration suffered a similar setback for a broader policy, right-leaning articles highlight that Judge Matthew Schelp of the Eastern District of Missouri issued an injunction halting Biden's Wuhan coronavirus vaccine mandate for Medicare and Medicaid workers in ten states.

A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlights that the court order against the health care vaccine mandate comes after Biden’s administration suffered a similar setback for a broader policy. Biden’s administration contends federal rules supersede state policies prohibiting vaccine mandates and are essential to slowing the pandemic.

The Hill published a centrist article reporting that the request was denied without comment by Justice Stephen Breyer. The workers had sought religious or medical exemptions but were denied on an individualized basis. 

A right-leaning article by Town Hall highlights that Judge Matthew Schelp of the Eastern District of Missouri issued an injunction halting Biden's Wuhan coronavirus vaccine mandate for Medicare and Medicaid workers in ten states.
