A recent report indicates that Rockmond Dunbar, famed for his portrayal in the TV series '9-1-1', is set to appear in court on Tuesday to address his termination from the show. Dunbar asserts that his dismissal stemmed from his religious convictions, which oppose the COVID-19 vaccine. As a member of the Congregation of Universal Wisdom, he maintains that his faith forbids him from accepting vaccinations, viewing them as contrary to natural law. His character was written out of the series in November 2021, shortly after the implementation of vaccine mandates for the cast and crew. In response, Disney, the studio behind '9-1-1', argues that Dunbar's claim for a religious exemption lacks authenticity, pointing to his past acceptance of other medical treatments. The upcoming trial will examine the validity of Dunbar's beliefs and whether they are entitled to legal protections under federal law.
