More than 170 health care workers at a Houston, Texas, hospital were reportedly suspended for two weeks without pay this week for choosing to not get the coronavirus vaccine by the hospital’s Monday deadline, which the hospital requires of its workers.
The employees will be fired after the two weeks if they don’t get vaccinated, FOX 4 in Dallas reported.
Houston Methodist Hospital President and CEO Marc Boom said that 99% of it more than 25,000 workers had been vaccinated by the deadline.
"It is unfortunate that today’s milestone of Houston Methodist becoming the safest hospital system in the country is being overshadowed by a few disgruntled employees," Boom said in a statement, according to KHOU-TV in Houston.
Boom announced the suspensions in an internal memo obtained by The Washington Post on Tuesday.
"I know that today may be difficult for some who are sad about losing a colleague who’s decided to not get vaccinated," Boom wrote in the memo. "We only wish them well and thank them for their past service to our community, and we must respect the decision they made."

Out of 25000 workers?
“Houston Methodist Hospital President and CEO Marc Boom said that 99% of it more than 25,000 workers had been vaccinated by the deadline. “
I thought it was about 50% of the workers who were or were not vaccinated?
P
Wonder how much of this is about a principled stand or a slick way to collect unemployment?

I would say 100% of this is about a principled stand.
If you read the first 2 sentences...
“More than 170 health care workers at a Houston, Texas, hospital were reportedly suspended for two weeks WITHOUT PAY this week for choosing to not get the coronavirus vaccine by the hospital’s Monday deadline, which the hospital requires of its workers.
The employees will be FIRED after the two weeks if they don’t get vaccinated, FOX 4 in Dallas reported.”
Yeah, what about the bill Gov Abbot signed on Monday, hmmm?>
Fired = qualifies for unemployment.
Fired = qualifies for unemployment.
Not sure where you live, but in IL, no you don’t get unemployment if FIRED.
In Texas, where the hospital is located, looks like don’t get it if fired:

FIRED:
If the employer ended your employment but you were not laid off as defined above, then you were fired. If the employer demanded your resignation, you were fired.
You may be eligible for benefits if you were fired for reasons other than misconduct. Examples of misconduct that could make you ineligible include VIOLATION OF COMPANY POLICY, violation of law, neglect or mismanagement of your position, or failure to perform your work adequately if you are capable of doing so.

“The first shots were given in March 2020, about 15 months ago, during the Phase 1 clinical trials.”
The official release, for emergency public use, wasn’t until December of 2020, so 7 months. There’s still no understanding of long-term side effects, nor whom the “vacci es” could harm, as no studies were conducted to isolate potential underlying health conditions that it could impact. Those studies are underway though, as the guinea-people start to show adverse reactions months after the injection.
Also, the flu magically disappeared and Biden won the election “Fairly”, all while existing “safe” medicinal methods were blacklisted by physicians and dogged by the media politicians (HQ/Ivermectin/Zinc/D3) as unsafe or ineffective all of a sudden.
As for Israel, well, we’ll know soon how that works out won’t we. Each passing day there’s more revelations about the “vaccines” darkside.
You didn’t really expect an answer... did you?
I might be becoming suspicious of everyone’s motives?
Which I really don’t like being that way.
I've been offered twice where I work. Declined both times....
I had the 19...got over it. Been in the grills of 10's of patients...
Have not seen a 19 patient in 2-3 months....
The question in my mind is why they pushing so hard out there on this?
Cases spiking? You mean every hospital admittance with flu like symptoms, then yes, spiking. Hospitals/ERs..etc. were racking up the tax payer funded kickbacks, by calling all sorts of things “COVID”. Such a spike that most hospitals had many empty COVID quarantine floors, then yes, it was spiking.
I never bought into the whole “sky is falling” BS. When its your time, it’s your time and only the good Lord knows when that is. But I agree, I’m just as disappointed in my fellow man for falling into the paradox that is trust in man.
“Companies can force their employees to take experimental drugs. Until the state government decides that they can’t.”
Correction:A company can demand their employees take experimental drugs...its up to the employees whether they chose to meet those demands or not.
I’ve already decided long ago not to accept any covid vaccines...my company will have to fire me.
But no one is going to force me to do anything.
Hey, troll, wondered what’d happened to you.
Not really.
I saw some of the “protest” footage—many young women standing with signs...Trying to get hospital administration to change their position.
If I were a man or woman in my 20s or 30s and wanting to have children, I would not get the vaccine. Actually, I have a 30 yo family member who works at a healthcare facility. Mandatory vaccination would be a deal breaker for them~They would find a new position.
Oh yes.
They kept telling us the hospitals here were packed etc too. It’s as if they didn’t know that we might know of some people working in said hospitals and could hear some eye witness reports. The lies during the last year plus have been astounding.
That’s the big question, why push so hard?
I have a good friend who is an Oncologist at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston. She is definitely not taking the vaccine.
Nope.
I’ve asked forms of that question around 20 times and the silence is deafening.
One guy admitted he didn’t know, and continued with a reasonable discourse about risk, knowledge, unknowns, etc. At least he had the willingness to admit it: Nobody knows.
