fight the power

Over a thousand concerned Koreans are bringing a class-action lawsuit against ROK authorities because of the vaccine-pass mandate that I've talked about.

Over 1,000 people have jointly filed a lawsuit against the government’s requirement of presenting proof of vaccination in multi-use facilities on concerns over discrimination against unvaccinated people, sources said Sunday. 

A total of 1,023 plaintiffs filed the suit Friday with the Seoul Administrative Court against Health Minister Kwon Deok-cheol, Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency Commissioner Jeong Eun-kyeong, and Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon to challenge the so-called vaccine pass.

Under an administrative order, people are required to present their vaccine records when entering restaurants, cafes theaters, cram schools and other indoor multipurpose facilities. 

Unvaccinated people must show negative COVID-19 test results issued within 48 hours in order to use such facilities. 

The plaintiffs, including doctors, accused the government of forcing people to get vaccine jabs by barring unvaccinated people from much of public life and requested an injunction to nullify the administrative order. 

Read the rest. And here's hoping these people make some sort of dent. Probably not, but at least they're going to give this a college try.

I'd like to sign up for this lawsuit, too, frankly. As a non-citizen, though, I probably can't.

  1. God, I hope people wake up and fight back while they still can. This is pure madness.
