Former BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee (BCBST) employee Tanja Benton has been awarded over $680,000 by a Tennessee federal jury following a verdict that the insurer failed to offer reasonable accommodation for her religious beliefs.

The jury concluded that BCBST “did not prove by a preponderance of the evidence either that it had offered a reasonable accommodation to Plaintiff or that it could not reasonably accommodate the Plaintiff’s religious beliefs without undue hardship.”

The total damages awarded to Benton amounted to $687,240, which included $177,240 in back pay, $10,000 in compensatory damages, and $500,000 in punitive damages.

In a related case, a group of employees terminated by BCBST for a Title VII violation concerning religious discrimination linked to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate are currently litigating against the state’s largest health insurer.

Thanks for that Alzheimer’s link. I had missed that and I had previously predicted as much. No surprise that they’re censoring books (par for the course, “gotta protect the players”).

I’ve been critical of the ALZ scheme for years, much to the chagrin of those whose confirmation bias blinds them to the realities.

That is a perfect example of the TOTAL corruption of the research funding system, which is now controlled by corporate interests having corrupted NIH (fauxi et al, PROVEN) and, as a consequence, all ‘science’ ought be questioned.

The glaring tell, of course, is the reaction when ‘they’ are challenged.

e.g., “anti-vaxxer,” “anti-science,” etc., etc....all the ad hominem. This includes the other sciences (e.g., archaeology, astrophysics, etc., even geology).

I am still dealing with the side effects of NOT getting jabbed. You know - peace of mind knowing I don’t have some ticking time bomb flowing through my veins.

Thanks for the ping!

Thanks for the ping!

I’m looking for the lawsuit against China for those of us irreparably harmed by COVID, itself.

Never jabbed. I refused to drink the Kool Aid.
