A federal jury in Detroit awarded more than $12 million Friday to a former Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) employee who was terminated after declining to get a COVID-19 vaccination, citing religious discrimination.
According to the verdict form, Lisa Domski, who worked at the insurance company for more than 30 years as an IT specialist, received $10 million in punitive damages against Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. The jury also awarded her approximately $1.7 million in lost wages and $1 million in noneconomic damages.
Domski claimed she was a victim of religious discrimination after the company denied her request for an exemption from its 2021 vaccine policy. She maintained that the requirement conflicted with her Catholic beliefs.
Court records show Domski worked 100% remotely during the pandemic and 75% remotely before COVID-19 emerged in 2020. Her attorney, Jon Marko, argued that even without vaccination, she posed no risk to others due to her remote work arrangement.
"Our forefathers fought and died for the freedom for each American to practice his or her own religion. Neither the government nor a corporation has a right to force an individual to choose between his or her career and conscience," Marko said in a statement. "Lisa refused to renounce her faith and beliefs and was wrongfully terminated from the only job she had ever known. The jury's verdict today tells BCBSM that religious discrimination has no place in America and affirms each person's right to religious freedom."
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan had implemented its vaccine policy in October 2021, requiring all employees to be fully vaccinated for COVD-19 or obtain a religious or medical accommodation. The company denied any discrimination during the trial. In earlier court filings, the insurer questioned whether Domski held a sincerely held religious belief.

I could use $12 million about right now after all that I went through since COVID-19(84)......but that’s a story I’m not willing to tell
Wait, make that $812 million....butter is like $3.50 under Joe Biden, so.....
Gotta get me a gubmint job.
My friend called last week from the grocery store. He said "I know you only use butter and they have it on sale for a dollar for a 4 stick pack. Do you want me to get you some?" All I wanted to know was what was the limit he could buy. He got to my house with 5 lbs. of Imperial. He thought if it came in a stick, it must be butter.
BTTT
lolol
Local store went for $2.99 four sticks of their store brand - I got a couple -— a couple of weeks ago - trying to stock a little extra for Thanksgiving since I’m hoping to make just a few things
A little (small) glazed ham, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing - probably some creamed corn, rolls and corn muffins. That ought to do it.
Oh, and a can of that cranberry with the ribs from the can - that’s a classic right there
I DID NOT say anything about Mac ‘n’ Cheese....oops
Lisa Domski was smartski to not take the shotski. Now she’s richski.
“Catholics are not against vaccines.”
But they are against abortion, and cells from aborted babies were used in the vaccines.
I’m not sure how rich.
She’s likely unemployable now.
Her lawyer/s get what, a third, a half?
The tax man gets a huge chunk of what’s left.
She won’t be poor, but depending on how long her lifespan is, I wouldn’t call her rich.
The attorney’s argument: “Our forefathers fought and died for the freedom for each American to practice his or her own religion....”
Personally, I believe our FF fought and died for us to have the personal freedom to say “no” to any intrusion into our bodies.
