Vegans will be exempt from mandatory vaccination rules in Britain because their beliefs are protected by employment law, legal experts have claimed.
According to a report in the Daily Telegraph, ethical veganism was ruled to be a protected characteristic at a tribunal last year, which means that employers would risk legal action if they order staff to be vaccinated.
Following the revelation, actor and leader of The Reclaim Party Laurence Fox publicly announced that he now identifies as “trans vegan.” (Am sure others will soon follow!)
Summit News reports: Workers with other religious beliefs could also cite their status as a protected category in order to avoid employers forcing compulsory jabs.
“Some ethical vegans may disagree with vaccinations on the basis that they will inevitably have been tested on animals. Ethical veganism has previously been found by an [employment tribunal] to amount to a belief, capable of being protected,” said a spokesman for the Lewis Silkin law firm.

His upbringing was poor but he was determined and won a scholarship to Oxford University. However his headmaster reputedly wrote in his report to the University "this boy will not benefit from a university education", therefore Lewis lost the opportunity to study at Oxford. Lewis Silkin first worked as a tally clerk in the London Docks. One day he spotted a notice in a window of a firm of solicitors, a notice seeking a 'bright lad'. He was appointed as a clerk.
