A hospital system in Texas has fired every worker who did not get a COVID-19 vaccine, receive an exemption, or quit.
A Houston Methodist spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email that 153 employees were fired on Tuesday or quit during the previous two-week period.
Houston Methodist announced earlier this year that employees would need to get a COVID-19 vaccine, apply for an exemption, or face termination.
Executives who refused to comply were fired in April. The latest round was frontline employees, Jared Woodfill, an attorney representing the now ex-workers in a lawsuit challenging the mandate’s constitutionality, told The Epoch Times.
“They had until yesterday to capitulate and to submit to the experimental vaccine. And if they chose not to give in, then they were terminated,” he said.
“Many of my clients actually contracted COVID as a result of treating COVID-positive patients, and the thank you that Methodist Hospital gives them now is a pink slip,” he added.
