“She was escorted out of the hospital”......

not until she gave notice; you’re entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts...

just because her separation was not amicable doesn’t mean there’s any employer liability...

believe that forcing soldiers to take experimental medicine is against the Geneva Convention.

But nurses? Heck, you can force them to take anything.

I am pretty sure that the COVID vaccines have not been stamped “supercool” yet.

Moderna’s own filings clearly state they can’t label their shot a vaccine per the FDA, and must refer to it as a gene-therapy. Regardless, all of the companies with shots out there still need two additional trials each before they would be normally approved.

IMO the military are an exception to the rule.
They can literally order you into combat, into a situation where someone’s firing bullets your way. If you sign up for this, you know it and accept it, that you’re basically signing your body over to them. Men are probably wired for this, to an extent that women are not.
I think if I were a commander and someone serving under me refused to get an injection, I’d think twice about having them serve “in harm’s way.”
Defending the country means personal sovereignty takes a back seat.

Fact; She was escorted out of the hospital. She at least wanted two more weeks of pay....call it what you want.

That’s ok, I don’t mind :)

I’ll add that Houston Methodist is most worried about being liable if an unvaccinated employee becomes the source of an outbreak.
We wouldn’t have these vaccines if manufacturers weren’t protected from liability.
Houston Methodist enjoys no such protection.
Everyone’s worried about getting sued.

If you require your employees to be vaccinated as a condition of employment (i.e., for work-related reasons), then any adverse reaction to the COVID-19 vaccine is work-related. The adverse reaction is recordable if it is a new case under 29 CFR 1904.6 and meets one or more of the general recording criteria in 29 CFR 1904.7.

Power and control - same as the 1930s German socialist required yellow stars.

>> COVID antibodies .. she’d recovered from the disease.. why force her to get a vaccine?

“Our employees have the choice to stay or leave—we are not forcing anyone to get a vaccine.”

Apparently their idea of force is holding a person down and sticking them while they scream objections.

“Your jab or your job” is force.

You totally misunderstood my post. I was attempting to say that forcing vaccines on nurses seemed like a war crime. Sorry I was not clear.

‘She at least wanted two more weeks of pay....call it what you want’

and in all likelihood she got the two weeks pay, after that, the fact they marched her out is completely irrelevant...

rancourous relations between employers and their employees is as old as employment itself...

“Houston woman let go from her job as a nurse after refusing to get COVID-19 vaccine..”

Well...Fry me a liver. Getting the required shots is part of the job.

Getting a vaccine is not a “that second” decision.

Our Soldiers are not mercenaries.

They are volunteer citizens.

These citizens have to be able to trust their leaders to not waste their lives.

This, they cannot do. Each time a Serviceman/woman loses their life , the only ones that care are the insurance company that has to pay out the money and their relatives. The politicians do not give a damn.

You were comparing combat to getting a vaccine.

I don’t think there’s really any comparison.

She first should have gotten the antibody test, if she’s positive, NO VAX!

She did. She had COVID and has the antibody. They don’t care.
