ransomnote: Pressured and Threatened. Invited to a listening session where she could ask questions. Told later she could have been fired for the questions she asked. Told that as a leader it was not her place to question directives. Now constant daily harrassment. Pressured to 'voluntarily resign.'

"hi my name is katie and i've been an
oakland county resident for 35 years i'm
in my 11th year of nursing
and worked for henry ford since 2014.
i'm an educator on a general practice
unit where we do care for covid patients
most of which are fully vaccinated the
threat from my employer all started in
march of 2020 when i like many others
received an email stating that i was
deployed inpatient
to help during the pandemic and to care
for covid patients
if i did not accept i would be suspended
for three days offered the same
assignment and if i refused i would be
fired i was deployed for three months
and received no covid pay while caring
for covid patients
we did run out of ppe received one
surgical mass per week
and even had to wear trash bags as gowns
at one point in june of 2021 i received
an email from henry
ford threatening termination of
employment this time for non-compliance
with their cova vaccine mandate by
september 10th
the hospital offered covid listening
sessions for staff to ask questions
i attended and i did ask questions
respectfully shortly after i was greeted
by the
chief nursing officer and administration
stating they noticed i was at the
sessions and that i seemed
distressed they said i needed to take a
week off of work to think
i was told that as a leader it is not my
job to question policy
this was followed up with an email from
the cno stating i would be off work for
the week and i needed to report to her
upon my return
when i did return i was pulled aside for
a meeting with the cno hr and leadership
in the middle of my 12 hour shift with a
six patient assignment and a nursing
student
i was warned that i could have been
fired for my questions at the listening
session
i was warned that as a leader i must get
on board with what the system is doing
i was told not to answer any further
questions regarding the covet vaccine
i was offered help finding another job
and told that if i disagree with this
mandate i should be respectful to
leadership in administration and resign
my position
since then i've been pulled aside almost
every ship by management and asked
do you have questions about the mandate
or your termination
how do you feel about me posting your
position it's constant harassment
all managers have been sent a list of
employees on their unit who have not
been vaccinated
these staff are now being pulled aside
one by one and questioned
they are being pressured coerced and
intimidated into receiving the vaccine
they are being told they won't be able
to find other jobs in health care
and those in school are being told they
must comply in order to receive future
education
we have now been branded anti-vaxxers
and have a scarlet letter on our chest
i ask you what happened to hipaa is
medical segregation okay now henry ford
is offering a ten thousand dollar sign
on bonus for nurses and twenty five
dollars extra an hour for extra shifts
they are actively recruiting canadian
nurses and agency nurses to fill our
positions
we went from hero to zero essential to
expendable
please i ask you to consider who will
care for you when henry ford forces us
to voluntarily resign our position for
refusal of vaccine mandate
after working through this entire
pandemic risking our lives and staying
healthy
they will even make receiving
unemployment a challenge please
help us support our freedom of choice it
is the best things you can give to all
health care workers and to your
community
our body our choice and as we said when
we came here
for liberty and justice for all thank
you
[Applause]
 
kristen noble followed by beth felix
my name is kristen i am a resident of
oakland county i've been a registered
nurse for 10 years
all 10 years of my career i have been
employed with henry ford health system
i was not going to speak tonight number
one because i'm terrified of public
speaking
number two because this is the most
hectic time of the day for my family
but being here and letting my voice be
heard is more important the week i
returned from maternity leave in june i
found out about the system mandating the
cobit vaccines to employees volunteers
contractors and students
i'm appalled of such a decision to
mandate these non-fda approved vaccines
or we face termination
katie and i are co-workers and are
pretty much the only ones on our floor
who are publicly protesting and speaking
out
we are being the voice for others who
are too afraid afraid of having a target
on their back
to be harassed discriminated against or
coerced
afraid if they do not comply they will
lose health insurance for their families
afraid they will not be able to pay
their bills or put food on the tables
i myself was one of these individuals
afraid to speak up my husband and i had
many conversations about whether i
should take the vaccine or not
mainly for financial reasons ultimately
we decided i would leave my job standing
up for my freedom of choice
there are so many co-workers volunteer
students and vendors within the system
who feel the same way but are too afraid
to speak up
this is against the law so why are we
even having this conversation
is my body so it should be my choice i
shouldn't have to choose my job or a
vaccine
i am here asking you to help us instead
of helping divide us
these are people's livelihoods and lives
we are talking about
as nurses we are taught that we are a
patient's advocate and to always speak
up for them but here i am
in this moment i cannot advocate for
myself for my body
or for my choice with my employer if
these health systems are so worried
about the safety of their patients by
mandating all of us to be vaccinated
then why can a sick immunocompromised
patient on a general practice unit have
no limit on visitors
or restricted visiting hours and
visitors do not have to prove
vaccination status
why because that would be a violation of
hipaa for them to disclose their
information
so i ask who are we really protecting if
you'd agree
disagree with me that is the great part
about living in america the land of the
free
you were given choices hopefully you
will be so lucky that you do not have to
choose between your job or being
vaccinated
i ask that you will do your own research
outside of the mainstream media
my life is more important being able to
watch my kids grow up and be there for
them is more important than a job
i am willing to give up all of that i am
not willing to give up all of that for
the possibility of developing a
debilitating side effect or the
possibility of death
thank you for your time thank you

Dr. Peter McCullough is over the target and taking flack. He was fired by Baylor University and then Baylor somehow terminated his office (offsite rental) lease?

Dr. Hoffe was given a gag order, threatened to have his medical license revoked, had his hospital privileges revoked, and somehow his clinic burned down.

Please pray for all who come forward. May God shield them from the attacks of the enemy and bless them for their courage and self-sacrifice.

C’mon nurses!! Let’s goooo.

I’m prepared to be fired for not receiving the covid “vaccines” but I’m not sure the hospitals can pull it off.

I volunteer at the local VA and I’m around 5 nurses who take blood all day. Theyve been given the choice of either getting the shot or coming in 2 hours early to take the covid test once a week.

Three are looking for employment elsewhere during the day, between patients.

I told them they’re lucky that they have a choice. As a volunteer I either get the shot within 2 months or I can’t volunteer any more

I’m gonna miss volunteering.

A curious and motivated media would investigate any relationships between major health care providers, vaccine manufacturers, those who happen to invest in both, and any communications between them. The are serious conflict of interest matters in play for these industries who portray themselves as squeaky clean.

What the hell are you talking about? If it’s a”cult” why are so many healthcare workers questioning and deciding against vaccination?

Gotta stay strong. They can’t fire 30% of the workers in the country when there’s record unemployment with people refusing to go back to work. This is a game of chicken and we can make them flinch.

I think I can clarify.

The corporate medical community is a cult.

Employers are trying to set up “code of conduct” policy with the forced jab. Meaning if you don’t abide, no Unemployment Insurance... So wrong. Meanwhile bums are getting u.i. for staying at home and refusing to work... Our world is truly upside down.

I'm surprised Project Veritas hasn't done a “follow the money” undercover investigation on the linkages you mentioned. I think there are millions and millions passing under the table between all these sick incestuous “healthcare” relationships..
James O’Keefe? Come on, we need you on this pronto

If anyone is capable of such investigation it would be O’Keefe and company. But he needs someone to step forward from the inside. That would be someone with an inside view of stock trading.

The media will never do that. They get a lot of advertising bucks from big pharma.
