Houston hospital suspends 178 employees who refused Covid-19 vaccine

Protesters wave at cars during a forced vaccine protest at Houston Methodist Baytown Hospital in Baytown, Texas, on June 7, 2021.A Houston, Texas, hospital has suspended 178 of its staff members who have refused to abide by its mandate that employees be fully vaccinated by Monday.

There are 285 unvaccinated employees who received a medical or religious exemption, and another 332 who were granted deferrals. “I feel like they kind of bullied us into this little corner like you have to do it or you don’t have a job. This is my only source of income,” Rivera said.A lawsuit was filed by 117 employees at the end of May against the hospital, which argued that Covid-19 vaccines were “experimental” and that Houston Methodist could not force an employee “to accept an FDA unapproved vaccine on penalty of termination or other sanctions.

Jared Woodfill, the attorney who filed the lawsuit in Montgomery County, said he intends to file with the state court. Woodfill maintains that the hospital violated the law by requiring its employees to take a vaccine that has not received full approval and that his clients are threatened with termination following the suspension.

Vaccines have been required for more than a century. Those people should be ashamed

Unethical and morally wrong 😑

Good for them!!! Don’t let them try to control your body!!!! Go work somewhere else!!!!

Good. Nobody has a right to a job.

🤘🤘🤘

It's the right move. Their individual rights end when their actions threaten the lives of others.

No one is forcing them to work there.

.... BRAVO !! These employees are free to get a job someplace else.. where there are no rules... what about.. working for Trump hotels No rules applied!! .... BY THE WAY .. ALERT ... ....YOU MAY NEVER BE PAID..

Good 👍

Fire them.

Capitalism is a bitch

Seems well within their rights as employers. That whole 'at will' employment thing - an employee chooses not to follow the employers requirements, therefore the employer is under no obligation to keep employing them. Instead, they should be free to hire someone fully vax'd.

First of all you work in health care so this should be a no brainer. HOWEVER..... Welcome to Texas, a right to work State. If the State of Texas decides to get involved they will be opening up a HUGE can of worms for themselves.

Too bad, so sad 😊

Oklahoma may throw out thousands of COVID-19 vaccines as demand dropsOklahoma may throw out tens of thousands of vaccines as vaccination rates drop from 8,000 shots per day to 4,500 per day, according to the state health department. We need more of our southern states to get on board with the vaccine lottery. Anything that can encourage vaccinations is great. In my own home state, only about a third have been vaccinated. Our pastors need to step up and encourage people. What a waste! If nobody wants them here I'm certain countries in Latin America would greatly appreciate these vaccines. Why can't our government work together during all of this? Stay away from Oklahoma!
