The U.S. Supreme Court this week declined to hear an appeal from an Air Force reserve officer who was removed from the service’s command after he wouldn’t get a COVID-19 vaccine.

Lt. Col. Jonathan Dunn, in a court filing, said he was previously denied a religious exemption and removed from his post because he didn’t want to receive the vaccine.
