Interview with Leslie Manookian

Leslie Manookian of the Health Freedom Defense Fund discusses the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education’s decision on Tuesday, September 26, 2023, to overturn the employee Covid-19 vaccine mandate that had been enforced since August 2021. The Health Freedom Defense Fund, led by Leslie Manookian, is currently embroiled in legal challenges against the Los Angeles Unified School District. The organization has faced hurdles, notably from the courts, which have been attempting to dismiss the case, perceived as unfair by the Fund. Recently, Manookian submitted a formal opposition to the court’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit. Should the outcome favor Manookian, it holds the potential to significantly alter the legal landscape regarding the enforceability and legality of vaccine mandates.
