1. CHD files reply brief in Rutgers University Vaccine Mandate Case
The court should not have dismissed a lawsuit filed last year by Children’s Health Defense (CHD) and 13 students challenging Rutgers University’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate policy, according to the plaintiffs’ attorneys.
In a reply brief filed March 2 in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit, attorneys for CHD and the students argued the district court erred when it dismissed the case.
The appeal disputed whether, as a university, Rutgers has the authority to mandate vaccination. It also challenged the dismissal based on informed consent, contesting the notion that an experimental drug can be mandated at all.

3. Kennedy v. Biden Class action lawsuit filed!
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Children’s Health Defense (CHD) et al., filed a class action lawsuit against President Joe Biden and numerous other federal agencies in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, Monroe Division. The complaint alleges that the defendants have colluded with, encouraged and pressured social media companies to suppress speech that the government does not want the public to hear and to silence specific speakers who are critical of federal policy.
This class action, brought on behalf of all Americans who access the news from social media platforms, seeks nationwide injunctive relief on their behalf. Instead of seeking monetary damages, the claim asks the court to declare that the Defendants’ conduct violates the First Amendment and prohibits them from engaging in any form of social media censorship in the future.
