Kondilis v. City of Chicago

Plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against their former employer alleging that their constitutional and statutory rights were violated by the employer’s Covid-19 vaccination policy. Plaintiffs’ claims were not based on a denial of a religious exemption, which they were granted, but rather that their rights were violated when they were required to input their vaccination status and Covid-19 testing results into a database. The district court dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim and the Seventh Circuit affirmed. (RIPPLE and KIRSCH, concurring)
