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."

“the vaccine is de-facto forced for those people”
Poor helpless people! Unable to make real choices!
Bull shit. If you aren’t man enough to walk away from a job, you are a serf. Period. There is no getting around that. Your employer IS your MASTER because you’ve invited him to be one. If you cannot walk away, you are a slave.
You own your body.
You can also QUIT if you don’t like something about a job! That wasn’t an option for me much of my time in the military, but in civilian jobs? You don’t like something? It isn’t worth it to you any longer? QUIT! Stop whining and QUIT!
Take control of your own life instead of letting others rule as your master. If you are unable to walk away from your job, you are a SLAVE. Fetch it, boy!
You are right.
None of that justifies your endorsement of poison vaccines that have deadly effects.
Excellent points.
VaxNazis are responsible for unprecedented destruction.
Enjoy your little commie utopia.
You’re a disgrace.
“Enjoy your little commie utopia.”
I want people to take responsibility for their own lives. You are the freak who wants government to control everyone’s employment.
The hospital is NOT 100% vaccinated, BTW.
Allegedly there are exemptions for pregnant women and religious exemptions.
The judge drew conclusions that were not his to arrive at in absence of a trial.
Sue.
