Oklahoma was granted a temporary restraining order that blocks Ascension Healthcare from terminating employees who were denied religious exemptions from the firm’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
Oklahoma Attorney General John O’Connor had filed for a restraining order against the company’s requirement. On the night of Nov. 12, a Tulsa district judge granted the request, according to the O’Connor’s office.
“This evening, the Tulsa District Court granted the State’s Application for Temporary Restraining Order in our case to keep Ascension Healthcare from carrying out its plan to fire employees who were unfairly denied religious exemptions from their nationwide COVID-19 vaccination mandate,” the Republican attorney general said in a statement. “This is a win for religious freedom and our office will continue to fight against unlawful religious discrimination.”
Some Ascension employees who worked during the pandemic, he said, sought a religious exemption to the vaccine but were unfairly denied.
“Healthcare heroes who sought a religious exemption on this and other sincerely held religious belief grounds have been flatly rejected by Ascension,” O’Connor remarked. “In so doing, Ascension committed religious discrimination against Oklahoma healthcare heroes who oppose abortion.”
Ascension Healthcare operates in 19 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, including across Oklahoma. The company has not responded to a request for comment. The company is based in St. Louis, Missouri.
The firm, however, issued a statement to media outlets over the weekend that it mandated the vaccine because “we want patients to be assured and comforted with the knowledge that our doctors and nurses, other clinicians and associates, working in one of our hospitals or other sites of care, will either be vaccinated against both COVID-19 and influenza.”

Last years Heroes, This years Zeroes.
Awesome.
Odd that all the deaths they want to talk about and use for their agenda are all occurring after the shots became more widespread.

Yeah, right.
No....they want to receive as much $$$ from their BigPharma owners.
We’d like to find a doc/hospital system that has UN-jabbed docs/nurses/staff, rather than be in contact with these super-spreaders.
Ping!

BS. My GF is a nurse at one of L.A.’s most prestigious (and expensive) hospitals. The patients (mostly) dont give a rip if the nurses and doctors are not fake-vaxxed. They just want to be treated period. The surgeons she told me, around 80% are not fake-vaxxed. They;’ve seen too many patients die in the past year when they were jabbed and it’s mostly JandJ. Those clowns should be prosecuted.
Why are you directing that at me. I didn’t say anything about that.
But I do agree that the immunity given to the drug companies should be rescinded and folks should be allowed to go after them. As for being prosecuted, no telling how many folks should be in prison, for a very long time, over this fraud.
