This story on USA Today reports on the hearing in a Houston federal court on the law suit by medical workers at Houston Methodist Hospital. After months of warnings, Houston Methodist had put more than 170 of its 26,000 employees on unpaid suspension Monday. They were told they would be fired it they weren't vaccinated by June 21. In the meantime, a 117 of those staff had sued the hospital on the basis that the vaccines were experimental and potentially unsafe. I blogged about their ridiculous law suit here. The judge dismissed their suit, saying "This claim is false, and it is also irrelevant". Good for him. Since this hearing was in federal court, it counts as legal precedent for the whole of the USA, although I suspect that there will be an appeal, so the issue is not completely closed yet. | |
