A Tennessee woman who was fired from her \u2062job \u200cfor \u200crefusing her\u200d company’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate<\/a> was awarded a major\u200b cash payout by a federal court. Tanja Benton of Chattanooga, \u2062Tennessee, requested a waiver from her company, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee, citing \u200cher faith and concerns about the vaccines. Despite working \u200bfrom home and not being in contact with sick patients, she was still\u2064 fired for not getting vaccinated. Benton sued her former employer and won, receiving\u2064 a \u2062total sum of $687,240 in lost wages, compensatory damages, and punitive damages. This case sheds light<\/a> on the discrimination faced by individuals during \u2063the COVID-19 pandemic and the importance\u2064 of standing up \u200bfor one’s beliefs. <\/p>\n
