The Facts

  • The US Navy on Wednesday settled a long-running lawsuit with SEALs and sailors who refused the COVID-19 vaccine on religious grounds.

  • As a part of the agreement, the Navy will erase the record of sailors who declined to comply with the COVID-19 mandate and protect the servicemembers' careers against discrimination on the promotion board.

  • The agreement also requires the Navy to pay $1.5M in attorney's fees and publish a public statement on its website about its acceptance of religious beliefs.
