Judge Denies Injunction for WA FFs Fired for Vaccination Refusal

Oct. 13, 2022
The judge said 'public interest' is greater than Seattle firefighters' request for injunctive relief.

A judge rejected an injunction filed by Seattle firefighters for not getting the COVID vaccine.

Judge Matthew Williams denied a motion for injunction, which would have protected the firefighters from being fired for refusing to get vaccinated, according to FOX 13.

He said the firefighters failed to prove irreparable injury from their termination, and argued that "public interest" is greater than their desire for injunctive relief.

The vaccination mandate remains in effect until further notice.
