A federal judge tossed out a lawsuit from more than 100 hospital employees who sued Houston Methodist over its policy requiring all staff to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
The workers alleged in their lawsuit that the hospital was "forcing its employees to be human 'guinea pigs' as a condition for continued employment." They also accused the hospital of violating the Nuremberg Code of 1947, likening the vaccine mandate to Nazi medical experimentation on concentration camp prisoners.
US District Judge Lynn Hughes was not sympathetic to either argument, writing in his order of dismissal Saturday evening that none of the employees were forced or coerced to take the vaccine. He also noted that the hospital cannot violate the Nuremberg Code because it is a private employer, not a government.
"Equating the injection requirement to medical experimentation in concentration camps is reprehensible," Hughes wrote. "Nazi doctors conducted medical experiments on victims that caused pain, mutilation, permanent disability, and in many cases, death."
He added that the workers were free to accept or reject a vaccine and that they would "simply need to work elsewhere" if they chose the latter.
"If a worker refuses an assignment, changed office, earlier start time, or other directive, he may be properly fired. Every employment includes limits on the worker's behavior in exchange for his remuneration," Hughes wrote. "That is all part of the bargain."

Apparently they can be forced as this judge just upheld. Again i didn’t say it was right or wrong but it is a fact. I e left covid to be more widely required very soon
I am almost through the second volume of Washington Irving's "The Life of George Washington" (5 volumes). The last few pages I've read is where his badly defeated army, after the fall of Fort Washington due to General Greene's foolhardiness, is at the Delaware River that he is about to cross the first time. Most of the few thousand farmer soldiers retreated from their disheartening loss with no shoes, blankets, or tents in the month of December.
It was more daunting than we could ever imagine for the newly independent United States. He had to take on the most mighty superpower of his time. We ourselves are now the most mighty superpower and we have his example to guide us.
Correct. You can also work without a hepatitis vaccine and a flu shot(in most).
I’d be interested to read about actual named hospitals that have fired employees solely for not getting these shots.
“In 2020 there was an absolutele increase of deaths by 19%. This number would usually be 1% year over year at the highest. What caused the increase in deaths.”
Sadly, you claim covid did that and nothing else. Not exactly a doctorate level scientific mind to make such a wild conclusion that the death counts were real or that covid was to blame.
So, as you can see our task would be more daunting, as we would face those same things George Washington's army also dealt with, as far as weather conditions go. But they possessed equal fire power, muskets, as their combat opponents had. Sure, they were vastly outnumbered and were up against a far more experienced opponent in the art of warfare, but the opponent had no quick method of enlarging, or even re-enforcing, its presence in a quick manner when troops on the ground were killed in action. They also did not engage in warfare as the British did, and that engagement helped to offset the mismatch in manpower, and experience.
We have none of those working in our favor, but we would be much like George Washington's army in terms of small manpower and inexperience in warfare.
Just as Karl Marx and Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov Lenin wished.
Try to gain control, you’ll feel better.
You obviously have a behind-the-scenes bet with another troll about trying to get me to react.
Pay up, you fail.
And, you're projecting on "All vaccines all the time."
For the party invites, they haven't dropped off, because I almost never attend parties anyway.
This is a perfect scenario for the start of something I’ve been predicting ever since this idea of employer vaccine requirements first came up:
1. Nobody working for an employer requiring a COVID vaccine who doesn’t want to be vaccinated has to get fired.
2. Instead, recalcitrant employees may decide to take an indefinite leave of absence due to “work-related stress” over the COVID vaccine requirement and the employees’ fears of the vaccine.
3. The employer faces a flood of disability claims, with an army of ambulance-chasing lawyers behind them.
4. SSDI, state disability insurance funds, and private insurance companies are forced into insolvency.
5. “COVID Stimulus Bill #736” — whenever it is passed — includes several trillion dollars to bail everyone out.
6. The former employees who refused to get the vaccine get a “retirement payment” of thousands of dollars every month for the rest of their lives.
“He is not a moron; he is corrupt, based on personal experience.”
You had a case before him or know of one? Please tell.
Great observation.
Epitome of a troll.
So, you “can’t say it’s right or wrong”? Why not? What seems to be the problem?
If MD Anderson was going to require all employees to get a Covid vaccine, they would certainly have done it by now. Your comment is just wishful thinking to justify your extensive lack of knowledge
The President/CEO of MD Anderson is a real doctor with a large resume in medical research, not some guy who is just a bean counter and administrator.
MD Anderson is not going to require a COVID-19 vaccine because it is run by really smart people.
MD Anderson does lots of clinical research into potential vaccine treatments for cancer.
See my post #132.
Hydroxychloroquine is part of a treatment cocktail. It serves one primary purpose, which is to be a transport mechanism for zinc into cells, to prevent viral replication. If given without zinc, it is set up for failure. If given without other components, such as IV vitamin C as antiviral, blood thinners, corticosteroids, thiamine and vitamin D, it is set up for failure.
It is a little like saying that vitamin D3 is bad for you, when to be truly beneficial, it needs to be given with vitamin K2 and magnesium.
You people simply don’t want therapeutics to work. That attitude cost us 500,000 lives. How arrogant and evil of you all.
i am not intellectually challenged and am well aware of what MD Anderson is thank you for the insults. If CMS requires vaccination MD Anderson will
comply. Period. If the state requires health care workers to be vaccinated they will comply. They may require it on their own once it is FDA approved in a few months. I have been in health care 35 years and in leadership a fair amount of that time. Call someone else stupid
I don’t think it will ever be *mandatory*
It will be highly promoted, may say you have to wear a mask if unvaccinated, They may not hire if unvaccinated. But its doubtful they will actually fire employees for not taking it. Especially now that the recent study from Cleveland Clinic states that immunity from having the illness is as effective or better than the vaccine.
I suspect demonstration of sufficient antibody titer will be accepted in lieu of the vaccine
MD Anderson is so big and so highly respected, no organization would dare attempt to require them to force their employees to get a COVID-19 vaccination.
MD Anderson could just tell such an organization to stick their order where the sun doesn’t shine.
You think some no-name bureaucrats have enough pull to go up against MD Anderson? Not in a million years.
