There's this thing called groupthink, see, where you and your friends get uber-sympatico and don't need or want outside opinions.
In this category we can place Jennifer Bridges, a strapping, healthy nurse, and 116 of her colleagues at Houston Methodist Hospital. They decided that they didn't want to take the health risk associated with a COVID19 vaccination. Another 54 staffers didn't want
You know, THAT vaccination. The one that finally ended the government's COVID lockdown and isolation. The one that's safer than almost any vaccine in history. The one that more than 300 million people have had in the United States alone.
The hospital's stance: To continue to work at Houston Memorial, the management said, the employees had to have the vaccine.
"Experimental and dangerous!" the plantiffs said of the vaccine They said it was like the "forced medical experimentation during the Holocaust."
That was a step too far for Lynn Hughes, the U.S. District Court judge, who threw out the case on Saturday. Comparisons with the Holocaust are "reprehensible," she wrote. The hospital wasn't asking them to do anything criminal -- if it were, their jobs would be protected. But for this? Nope.
It was the same judge who'd refused to grant the group a restraining order so they could have more time to -- I dunno, think?
Fortunately for the hospital, the 117 employees amount to less than one half of one percent of the total staff.
The plaintiffs plan to file an appeal.
6/23/21 UPDATE! Remember those health-care employees of Houston Methodist Hospital who didn't want COVID vaccinations? The ones who compared forced vaccination to Nazi medical experiments? Now, 153 are ex-employees, having failed to get their shots by the hospital's deadline. Doofuses all!
