"By holding that laws that do not mention or target religion may still violate people’s religious rights in certain cases" SCOTUS has sent "message to vaccine resisters: You can challenge the constitutionality of any denial of a request for a religious exemption.
In response, vaccine resisters have kept litigation flowing."

"More worrisome, a decision by the Supreme Court that rejects its own precedent on vaccine mandates and ignores the distinctions between medical exemptions and religious exemptions will reverberate far beyond the Covid-19 pandemic."
"Whether or not the court intended to unsettle the constitutionality of vaccine mandates, it has done so. A ruling requiring religious exemptions ... will create more uncertainty and encourage people to demand a religious exemption to any health law they do not like."
