Judge dismisses lawsuit by Houston hospital employees over Covid-19 vaccinations - NBC News

A federal court in Texas on Saturday dismissed a lawsuit by 117 hospital employees who challenged their employer's vaccination requirement.

Hughes said lead plaintiff Jennifer Bridges, a nurse, and 116 other Houston Methodist Hospital employees who challenged the requirement, had no case.

On Tuesday, hospital officials said they had suspended 178 employees who refused to be inoculated.

On the vaccination requirement violating due process, she wrote, "Texas does not recognize this exception to at-will employment.".

Plaintiffs, she said, "misconstrued" the law and "misrepresented the facts" of vaccination, including that the requirement amounted to forced medical experimentation because Covid-19 vaccines have received emergency Food and Drug Administration authorization but not full approval

"Equating the injection requirement to medical experimentation in concentration camps is reprehensible," she wrote
