Religious freedom and personal liberty were at the center of a recent lawsuit against Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.
A jury has awarded Lisa Domski more than $12.5 million in damages after the company fired her for refusing, on documented religious grounds, to get a COVID vaccine as a condition of employment.
At a time when abortion rights advocates and others would say individual liberties are under attack, Domski attorney Jon Marko was asked if the outcome of this case strengthens that argument.
“I think that this case transcends politics and I think that there’s a way for no matter if you’re on the right or the left or the middle or wherever you are to come together and say you know a corporation should not tell us what to do with our bodies,” Domski said. “A corporation should not tell us what to do with our hearts and souls. They shouldn’t judge whether somebody’s religious feelings, whether their conscience is sincere or not.”
Domski opposed getting vaccinated because of the use of cells taken from an aborted fetus during the vaccine’s development process.
