Today is vaccination deadline for Houston Methodist employees
KHOU 11 CBS Houston ^ | June 7, 2021 | Stephanie Whitfield

Posted on 06/07/2021 12:55:35 PM PDT by a fool in paradise

...The Baytown nurse is one of 117 healthcare workers now suing Houston Methodist. The lawsuit claims it’s illegal to force employees to participate in a vaccine clinical trial. Bridges said they have a hearing in federal court this week.

“If we can win that battle, we won’t be fired. If we don’t and they win, we will get terminated, but it will go to the Supreme Court as a wrongful termination lawsuit. We will fight this until the bitter end,” she said.

Bridges started a GoFundMe page to raise money for the group’s legal representation.

Dr. Marc Boom, CEO and President of Houston Methodist released the following statement:

“As of May 28, 99 percent of Houston Methodist’s 26,000 employees have met the requirements for the vaccination mandate. We are extremely proud of our employees for doing the right thing and protecting our patients from this deadly virus. As health care workers, it is our sacred obligation to do whatever we can to protect our patients, who are the most vulnerable in our community. It is our duty and our privilege.

It is unfortunate that the few remaining employees who refuse to get vaccinated and put our patients first are responding in this way. It is legal for health care institutions to mandate vaccines, as we have done with the flu vaccine since 2009. The COVID-19 vaccines have proven through rigorous trials to be very safe and very effective and are not experimental. More than 165 million people in the U.S. alone have received vaccines against COVID-19, and this has resulted in the lowest numbers of infections in our country and in the Houston region in more than a year.

We proudly stand by our employees and our mission to protect our patients.”

The FDA approved them as experimental.

Dr. Boom, the drug is still experimental (hence the EUA).
You are mandating employees participate in a clinical trial.
Where is your authority for that?

And to say the drug is safe is ludicrous.
I guess the deaths of thousands of people due to this “Vaccine” is fake news.

Since it's a Methodist hospital the nurse ought to claim that forcing her to get an experimental vaccination might mess up her ability to sell her baby for body parts after she aborts him.


Then the Methodists will jump up and down to support her right not to be vaccinated.

Why do you suppose Luc Montagnier, the world’s premiere virologist, is so concerned about these COVID-19 vaccines?

Dr. Marc Boom proves that he does not have leadership skills. Forcing people to take a shot is not ethical. Crediting a shot for decreasing virus numbers is not logical. Most employees probably got the shot in order to avoid dealing with the lame leader.

I’ll bet this Boom got a fake saline injection.

It is time to push back in every direction against tyranny both of governments and corporations.

But you would be fine if the government stepped in and said the hospital couldn't require the vaccine?
