The Supreme Court has once again put the so-called coronavirus “emergency” ahead of the rights of religious employees. It should not have done so.

In a 6-3 decision on Monday, the court rejected a request by 20 New York healthcare workers, nearly all of whom identified as Catholic, to grant a religious exemption to the state’s vaccine mandate. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch disagreed, with Gorsuch writing the dissenting opinion.
