JAN. 16, 2025 – In a case that has instantly drawn attention nor just throughout Massachusetts but across the United States, local attorney Atty. Richard C. Chambers, Jr scored a “huge win” this past week when the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit agreed with the Lynnfield, Mass. attorney’s argument in defense of his client who was terminated for not taking the COVID “vaccine.”
In a 20-page decision, the court reversed a prior ruling in which a magistrate judge had denied Atty. Chambers’ client Regina M.Thornton’s request for relief what what she termed an illegal firing due to her refusal on deeply held religious grounds to take the COVID “vaccination.”
In making the decision, the high court detailed the process of termination and the details of the religious exemption request timely filed by Ms. Thornton. Despite extensive, comprehensive details of her faith, of her belief about the origins of the “vaccine,” and the belief that taking a substance which was believed to be created in part using materials from aborted babies, the lower court had denied Thornton, siding with the company who fired her, Ipsen Biopharmeceuticals, Inc.
