Montana Judge Blocks Vaccine Mandate Protections for Healthcare Workers

US District Judge for the State of Montana, Donald Molloy, made his preliminary injunction from March permanent against healthcare workers seeking protection from vaccine mandates through HB-702, the vaccine non-discrimination law.
On Friday, Molloy ordered that the state cannot use provisions applied to Montana Code by HB-702 to defend the interests of Montana healthcare workers and that the state was, “permanently enjoined from enforcing Montana Code Annotated § 49-2-312 in health care settings. Defendants are further enjoined from enforcing the law as it relates to the COVID-19 vaccine against all health care facilities and individual practitioners and clinics subject to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services Interim Final Rule so long as that Rule remains in effect.”
Molloy said that health care workers concerns about medical privacy and health freedom and even vaccine efficacy did not outweigh the public’s interest to stop the spread of COVID-19. Molloy cited “safe, effective vaccines” as reason why “hardships” on healthcare workers were justified.
“The public interest in protecting the general populace against vaccine-preventable diseases in health care settings using safe, effective vaccines is not outweighed by the hardships experienced to accomplish that interest,” Molloy stated.
COVID-19 vaccines do not stop the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 or prevent illness.
The plaintiffs in the case against HB-702 included Providence Health Hospitals, Western Montana Clinic, Five Valleys Urology, the Montana Medical Association, and the Montana Nurses Association.

Malloy is and has always been a hack, leftist judges are continually blocking the people’s voice and stopping our legislators from doing their job for the people of Montana.
We need major reform and a purge of the Montana Supreme Court.
Crazy that he even admits they don’t work?!?!
He doesn’t admit that they don’t work, unfortunately. Molloy must be living in the same bio-security-state bubble the rest of the Montana Democrats and health officials continue to live in. They still believe the “vaccine” is “safe” and “effective.”
There ya go. Distroy montanas health care system on yet another front. If the shot doesn’t do the job first our gov instututions will! People are wise to its deadly effects. Proven to be a useless shot in prevention or transmission. (Opposite the outcome & definition of what a vaccine is suppose to do) This judge is either woefully misinformed? Or worse wilfully ignorant. Yet because of the fear ginned up by so called professionals?… (Who by the way have an agenda of financial gain and or control) Our judicial branch falters.. The machine of tyranny marches on in montana. All brought to you by the billions made by Pfizer & Big pharma.
Will they appeal? Liberal judges are the bane of Montana.
Looks like the AG’s office is on the back foot and is formulating their next response. From reporting elsewhere:
