Bridges and Woodfill are fos. This issue will soon die out and Bridges hasn't raised nearly enough money to appeal this to SCOTUS. Woodfill says he's going to file another TX lawsuit.“We’re OK with this decision. We are appealing. This will be taken all the way to the Supreme Court. This is far from over. This is literally only the beginning,” Bridges said.

Bridges said she already has another nursing job lined up. She said even more former employees are ready to join her fight.
Wait. I thought this was about not wanting to be injected with a vaccine because it's still under EAU by the FDA.And other hospital systems around the country, including in Washington, D.C., Indiana, Maryland, Pennsylvania and most recently New York, have followed Houston Methodist and have also gotten pushback.
Legal experts say such vaccine requirements, particularly in a public health crisis, will probably continue be upheld in court as long as employers provide reasonable exemptions, including for medical conditions or religious objections.

The University of Pennsylvania Health System, the largest private employer in Philadelphia, and the NewYork-Presbyterian hospital system have likewise indicated employees who aren’t fully vaccinated would lose their jobs.
Both Bridges, who has worked 6½ years at the medical-surgical in-patient unit at Houston Methodist’s hospital in the suburb of Baytown, and Shepherd, who has worked 7½ years in the labor and delivery unit at a Methodist hospital in Houston, say they are not anti-vaccine, are not conspiracy theorists and are not making a political statement.
“To me, what this ultimately boils down to is freedom,” Shepherd said.

Dear lawyer. Just because you disagree with laws doesn't change the law. Your lawsuit is bogus in it's basic argument.Lawsuits have been filed. One case includes a former worker at a New Mexico county jail, Isaac Legaretta, who claims he was improperly demoted and faced retaliation after refusing to get the shot. Legaretta contends that the county manager’s mandatory vaccination directive violates the federal Emergency Use Authorization statute, which requires that people be given the option to refuse a drug under that status. Another suit, in California, relies on the same statute.![]()
‘Other Employers Out There’
“You’ve got somebody whose government employer says you’ve got to take this vaccine or you’re fired,” said Legaretta’s attorney, Jonathan Diener. “It doesn’t have FDA approval, it’s experimental at this stage, but if you don’t take this, you’re fired? In my view, that’s not right.”
No one is forcing employees to be vaccinated. The EAU statute simply states that the FDA must inform people that they can refuse the vaccine. That's it. Employees can say no ... and then find another job. The government isn't tracking citizens, rounding them up, tying them up, and injecting them with the vaccine.![]()
FDA must ensure that recipients of the vaccine under an EUA are informed, to the extent practicable given the applicable circumstances, that FDA has authorized the emergency use of the vaccine, of the known and potential benefits and risks, the extent to which such benefits and risks are unknown, that they have the option to accept or refuse the vaccine, and of any available alternatives to the product.

https://www.umass.edu/uhs/covid-19-vaccineFor Fall 2021, UMass will require all undergraduate and graduate students who wish to live, learn or conduct research on campus or access campus resources to be fully vaccinated prior to the beginning of the fall semester. In addition, all faculty and staff are strongly encouraged and recommended to get vaccinated prior to the beginning of the fall semester. There are a variety of ways to find a vaccine appointment:
- Vaccinations are available at the UMass Vaccine Clinic, located on the lower level of the Campus Center, on a walk-in basis or by appointment. For walk-in hours or to schedule an appointment, visit umass.edu/coronavirus/vaccine.
- Preregister to be notified when it's your turn to schedule an appointment at one of seven mass vaccination locations: Hynes Convention Center in Boston, Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Reggie Lewis Center in Boston, DoubleTree Hotel in Danvers, Eastfield Mall in Springfield, Natick Mall, and the former Circuit City in Dartmouth.
- Use VaxFinder to search for appointments at pharmacies, healthcare providers and other community locations.

YouTube has removed a video and suspended Republican US Senator Ron Johnson from posting for seven days after violating the platform’s Covid-19 misinformation policies.
The senator promoted use of the drugs hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin to treat Covid-19, despite the platform’s policy that prohibits “content that promotes prevention methods that contradict local health authorities” or the World Health Organization.
“YouTube’s arrogant Covid censorship continues,” he said on Friday. “How many lives will be lost as a result? How many lives could have been saved with a free exchange of medical ideas? This suppression of speech should concern every American.”
Local bar in NYC gets anti-vax spam reviews from Europe. Blech.Anti-vaxxers are weaponizing Yelp to punish bars that require vaccine proof
Negative spam reviews are destroying bars and restaurants as they attempt to re-open safely.
On the first hot weekend of the summer, Richard Knapp put up a sign outside Mother’s Ruin, a bar tucked in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood. It had two arrows: one pointing vaccinated people indoors, another pointing unvaccinated people outdoors.
The Instagram post showing the sign (above) quickly went viral among European anti-vaxxers on Reddit. “We started receiving hate mail through the Google portal,” Knapp says, estimating he’d received about a “few dozen” emails: “I’ve been called a Nazi and a communist in the same sentence. People hope that our bar burns down. It’s a name and shame campaign.” It wasn’t just the emails. Soon, his bar started receiving multiple one-star reviews on Yelp and Google Reviews from accounts as far away as Europe.
Spamming review portals with negative ratings is not a new phenomenon. Throughout the pandemic, the tactic has also been deployed to attack bars and restaurants that enforced mask-wearing for safety. As pandemic restrictions have lifted, businesses like Mother’s Ruin have sought to ensure that safety by requiring proof of vaccination using state-sponsored apps like New York’s Excelsior Pass, vaccine passports, or simply flashing vaccine cards at the door — practices that have instigated a second surge of spam reviews.
These spam one-star reviews can be extremely damaging. The default mode for viewing reviews is in chronological order, from newest to oldest, which means a spam attack places fake reviews up top, making the most recent reviews that much more influential if you’re the victim of a concerted campaign.

Good luck with that, Lake.
With the current goings on at A$$U, they would be better off checking everybody for STD's before they can show up on campus.
My friends were at that show (lined up at 5 am to get tickets) and said Rickey Schroder was there,too.
https://azgovernor.gov/governor/news/20 ... ona-publicGovernor Ducey Issues Executive Order To Protect Access To Arizona Public Universities
News Release June 15, 2021
PHOENIX — Governor Doug Ducey today issued an Executive Order protecting access to Arizona’s public universities and community colleges for all students.
Under the Executive Order, students cannot be mandated to take the COVID-19 vaccine or submit COVID-19 vaccination documents. Students also cannot be mandated to be tested or wear masks in order to participate in learning.
The Executive Order provides exemptions for students participating in medical or clinical training. It does not prevent institutions of higher learning from encouraging vaccinations, providing testing or having voluntary mask usage, consistent with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control.
“The vaccine works, and we encourage Arizonans to take it. But it is a choice and we need to keep it that way,” said Governor Ducey. “Public education is a public right, and taxpayers are paying for it. We need to make our public universities available for students to return to learning. They have already missed out on too much learning. From K-12 to higher education, Arizona is supporting in-person learning.”
Governor Ducey will be working with legislative leadership and Senator T.J. Shope to codify today’s Executive Order into law.
Arizona has administered 6,201,598 COVID-19 vaccine doses to date, with 3,006,771 Arizonans fully vaccinated against the virus.
