Topic: Presidential Waiver

1 chapters across the catalog

The 2003 case of Doe v. Rumsfeld established that even military service members cannot be forced to take an experimental, non-FDA-approved vaccine without a specific presidential waiver. The court ruled that such a waiver can only be granted in cases of direct threats to national security. This precedent is used to argue that civilian mandates for experimental COVID-19 vaccines are legally indefensible.
