I ho;e these selfish and ignorant antivaxxers lose everything

Fuck 'em.

Their lawyer ,Jared Woodfill, equated the hospital with the Nazis.

Of course it's Texas. Of course.

When will FDA fully approve COVID vaccines?

On the brightside, COVID has revealed the idiots all around us

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Where in the Hippocratic Oath does it say the healthcare provider can ignore science out of selfish ignorance/defiance in a way that in fact CAN harm patients -- immunocompromised patients who themselves cannot be vaccinated? Good for Houston Methodist.

To the hospital -

I just can't even with people anymore.

Those employees would be banned on social media if their reasons for not taking the vaccine were publicized. Truth!

One would think that every single employee of every single hospital in America would be compelled to be vaccinated. Oh, do they think that some god will protect them? Because that's ignorant.

As fAr as I am concerned it’s just another vaccination that you need for employment like tetanus polio whooping cough etc Get it or look for a new place of employment

It has far less to do about you, and much more to do about “the who.”

Texas is a right-to-work state. Good luck with the frivolous lawsuit.

I must say that this is a post where I have seen so much positive support for the employer. A hospital who cares for patients and should take every reasonable step to ensure that this desease ceases to exist. Protecting our patients is a must and if they disagree, goodbye!!

My hospital gives you the option for the covid vaccine and annual flu shot. If you opt out you have to wear an N95 when going into patient rooms and a procedure mask all day when not in patient rooms. It's been that way for year for the flu shot.

Shocking !!

is this a 'conservative activist' that tried to get election results overturned?

Last week, it was reported that half of CDC & NIH employees aren’t vaccinated either. I find it odd that 50% of these “science” people aren’t. WTAF is up with that? Fauci said if you don’t believe him, you don’t believe in science, so c’mon man.

Sick Dictators,like LEECH,STUCK to Our Life! Let the EU Prove to Us that the Words 'Human Rights' are not Advertising! It is don't turns out Slandered and Poisoned Us.Because of Politics, they can STOLEN us! EU is Waiting for Montonegro to Pack and Send Us home to DEATH!

The vaccine is still not FDA-approved. I think people should have the right to refuse it.

I don't want to be in a hospital or have anybody I care for in a hospital where the employees are a threat to life because they're idiots. Thanks to the hospital that suspended them, everyone who lost a family member to Covid appreciates that!

Nice try. Get your vaccine.

Ah, got to love At-will employment.

I don’t understand the employees not wanting the vaccine. I was a nurse at a hospital that required all employees to get the flu shot every year, and everyone did. It’s for the protection of the patients as well as the employees.

Fire them and place them on a do not hire blacklist.
