A lawyer for 117 Houston Methodist Hospital employees who were suspended for refusing to get vaccinated vowed to appeal after their lawsuit challenging the mandatory vaccinations was dismissed.

More than 170 employees have refused to get the mandatory vaccination by the hospital's deadline on June 7, and were suspended for the next 14 days without pay. If the employees do not comply with the vaccination mandate, they will be fired.

"Receiving a COVID-19 vaccination is not an illegal act, and it carries no criminal penalties. [The employees are] refusing to accept inoculation that, in the hospital's judgement, will make it safer for their workers and the patients in Methodist's care," Hughes said in the dismissal, KPRC reported.

"This is just one battle in a larger war to protect the rights of employees to be free from being forced to participate in a vaccine trial as a condition for employment. Employment should not be conditioned upon whether you will agree to serve as a human guinea pig," Woodfill said.

It’s their bodies; it’s their choice!!! The hospital needs to understand that!!!

They should just find another job if they don’t want to comply….

Forced to take experimental vaccine. Supreme Court material

Get vaxxed or get out of a hospital job.
