On June 7, the deadline, the system suspended 178 workers without pay.<\/p>\n<p>Before that, though, 117 full- and part-time workers filed a lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>But U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes of Houston <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/judge-throws-out-houston-hospital-workers-vaccine-mandate-lawsuit\">ruled<\/a> that the argument from lead plaintiff Jennifer Bridges that the vaccines are \u201cexperimental and dangerous\u201d is false. The judge also said Bridges\u2019 contention that the vaccine requirement is tantamount to the Nazis\u2019 medical experiments on concentration camp prisoners during the Holocaust to be \u201creprehensible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Hughes also said that a business can require workers to get a vaccine and is not coercion, as Bridges claimed in the lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBridges can freely choose to accept or refuse a COVID-19 vaccine; however, if she refuses, she will simply need to work somewhere else,\u201d Hughes wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf 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\u2019s behavior in exchange for remuneration. That is all part of the bargain,\u201d the judge said.<\/p>\n<p>The plaintiffs\u2019 lawyer, Jared Woodfill, disagreed and vowed to file an appeal. \u201cAll of my clients continue to be committed to fighting this unjust policy,\u201d Woodfill said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is shocking is that many of my clients were on the front line treating COVID-positive patients at Texas Methodist Hospital during the height of the pandemic. As a result, many of them contracted COVID-19. As a thank you for their service and sacrifice, Methodist Hospital awards them a pink slip and sentences them to bankruptcy,\u201d Woodfill said.<\/p>\n<p>In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not fully approved the vaccines, instead issuing only emergency use authorization. They alleged the hospital is \u201cillegally requiring its employees to be injected with an experimental vaccine as a condition of employment.\u201d Since the lawsuit was filed, however, the FDA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-fda-approves-pfizer-covid-19-vaccine\">has approved<\/a> the Pfizer vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint also cited the Nuremberg Code, which \u201cbans forced medical experimentations, again in effect arguing that the vaccine is experimental and potentially unsafe,\u201d Fox News&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/texas-hospital-lawsuit-forced-vaccination-policy\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Before the judge\u2019s ruling, Woodfill said the hospital was just trying to make money. \u201cTo promote its business and increase profits at the expense of other health care providers and their employees\u2019 health, defendants advertise to the public that they \u2018require all employees and employed physicians to get a COVID-19 vaccine,\u2019\u201d Woodfill&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/117-employees-sue-houston-methodist-hospital-requiring-covid\/story?id=77977011\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told<\/a>&nbsp;ABC News.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
