The president of a group dedicated to ending federal COVID jab mandates is warning that ignoring the government’s continued overreach will enable an even more totalitarian “power grab” at the next opportunity.
Marcus Thornton, president and co-founder of “Feds for Medical Freedom,” spoke with LifeSiteNews correspondent Jim Hale on Monday about why it’s so important that his organization, which was behind a legal injunction that saved over 400,000 jobs, is continuing a legal battle to fight for Americans’ constitutional rights.

Thornton, who Hale noted leads “a coalition of more than 8,000 federal employees and contractors spanning nearly every federal department,” has helped secure major success through a lawsuit that led to a judicial block of the Biden administration’s COVID jab mandate for federal employees.
His advocacy, however, has come at a cost, making clear that the fight for medical and religious freedom isn’t over.
“I have no regrets,” Thornton told Hale. “But in reprisal, I’ve been subjected to a series of escalating retaliatory actions by my employer,” which has most recently culminated in the attempt to remove him from his position overseas and send him back to the U.S., “without any justification or basis in fact,” according to Thornton.
Hale highlighted the federal government’s equally disturbing continued challenge to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals decision that blocked its jab mandate, the fruit of a lawsuit spearheaded in part by Thornton.
