"A federal judge rejected a lawsuit brought by 117 staff members against Houston Methodist Hospital’s policy requiring all employees to receive a COVID-19 vaccination and in the process editorialized against the workers’ concerns about the vaccines.
Houston Methodist announced in April that it would be requiring all of its 26,000 employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 by June 17, but 178 refused to comply on the grounds that they consider the vaccines currently distributed in the United States 'experimental and dangerous.'
