Texas judge tosses hospital workers' COVID-19 vaccine requirement lawsuit, says they can 'work somewhere else'
Fox News
A federal judge in Texas has thrown out a lawsuit filed by 117 employees with Houston's Methodist Hospital system targeting its COVID-19 vaccine requirement.
"Methodist is trying to do their business of saving lives without giving them the COVID -19 virus. It is a choice made to keep staff, patients, and their families safer," Hughes wrote. "Bridges can freely choose to accept or refuse a COVID -19 vaccine; however, if she refuses, she will simply need to work somewhere else. If a worker refuses an assignment, changed office, earlier start time, or other directive, he may be properly fired. Every employment includes limits on the worker's behavior in exchange for his remuneration. That is all part of the bargain." In addition, Hughes called the lawsuit's comparison between the vaccine requirement and the Nazis' forced medical experimentation on concentration camp captives during the Holocaust "reprehensible."
