The court's opinion, penned by Circuit Judge R. Nelson and supported by Judge Collins, asserts that the mRNA shots, marketed as vaccines, do not effectively prevent the transmission of COVID-19 but merely reduce symptoms in those who contract the virus. This crucial distinction undermines the foundational premise of the vaccine mandates enforced by various governmental and educational institutions.
Quote:
Judge Nelson pointed out that the mandate was inconsistent with the Supreme Court's century-old ruling in Jacobson v. Massachusetts, a case that upheld the state's right to enforce smallpox vaccinations due to their proven effectiveness in preventing disease spread. In contrast, the mRNA COVID-19 shots do not offer such public health benefits, thus failing the criteria established by Jacobson.
The ruling points out that traditional vaccines are designed to provide immunity and prevent transmission, which is not conclusively proven in the case of mRNA COVID-19 shots.

So, look at what the CDC did. Here's the definition the CDC used on 26 August 2021:Rather than admit the COVID-19 vaccine is not working as advertised, the CDC took a page out of Orwell's 1984 and opted for new spin language.
- Vaccine "a product that stimulates a person's immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease."
- Vaccination "the act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease."

Here is the new definition:
- Vaccine "a preparation that is used to stimulate the body's immune response against diseases."

Judge Collins, in a concurring opinion, highlighted that compulsory medical treatments for individual health benefits infringe upon the fundamental right to refuse such treatments. This perspective aligns with the constitutional principles protecting personal liberty against unwarranted governmental intrusions.
The opinion is in the link. Four years for such a common sense decision. And coming from the 9th Circuit, no less.
