Texas hospital fires 153 employees for refusing COVID vaccine

[HuffsAhoy 7,433]

No excuses for health care workers, of all people, to refuse this vaccine. I fully support this decision and I hope this is a lesson to others in the field that insolence will NOT be tolerated.

As they should

This is against the Nuremberg Code. What a shambles

I thought employers couldn’t do that? Or is this different because they are in the medical field?

It seriously blows my mind when I hear of someone who works in the medical field and starts spouting out Anti-Vax nonsense!

Texas is also an at will state so it’s legal for them to fire them for that

US District Judge Lynn Hughes was not sympathetic to either argument, writing in his order of dismissal Saturday evening that none of the employees were forced or coerced to take the vaccine. He also noted that the hospital cannot violate the Nuremberg Code because it is a private employer, not a government.

He added that the workers were free to accept or reject a vaccine and that they would "simply need to work elsewhere" if they chose the latter.

I can see a case like this making it to the Supreme Court based on some bs interstate commerce argument

The full judgment is great. Judge Hughes was having NONE of it
