Houston Methodist Sued Over COVID Vax Mandate — Employees claim policy violates federal law, sue for wrongful discharge https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-rep...mail-definition by Ryan Basen, Enterprise & Investigative Writer, MedPage Today June 1, 2021
More than 100 current and former employees of Houston Methodist are suing the medical system for mandating that employees get vaccinated against COVID-19 or face termination.
Houston Methodist, a seven-hospital system, is being charged with wrongful discharge and violating a federal law dictating "that where a medical product is 'unapproved' then no one may be mandated to take it," according to the lawsuit shared with MedPage Today by the employees' joint attorney.
The 117 plaintiffs are asking for a temporary injunction against firings related to the "illegal" vaccine policy, and requesting a declaration to invalidate the policy altogether.
The suit cites a Texas exemption that "allows an employee to sue for wrongful termination if he is fired for the sole reason that he refused to perform an illegal act," -- excerpt, rest at link above --
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
