‘9-1-1’ Actor Rockmond Dunbar’s Religious-Exemption Firing Case Goes to Trial

Jurors will decide if his refusal of the COVID-19 shot was a sincere matter of faith.

Overview

  • Judge Dolly Gee limited the case to whether Dunbar’s beliefs are sincere and ruled his medical records admissible to assess credibility.
  • Disney’s 20th Television argues his claim is insincere, citing records of steroids, twice-weekly synthetic testosterone, and anastrozole injections since 2018.
  • The court faulted Dunbar for failing to disclose most medical files during discovery, calling the omissions egregious.
  • CUW founder Walter Schilling is too ill to travel, so jurors will see his deposition describing the church’s no-medicine tenets and easy membership process.
  • Dunbar says his views date to at least 2014 and blend CUW with Buddhism and Yoruba teachings, testifying he “spoke to God” and believes vaccines would tether his soul to earth.
