Vaccine mandates for businesses have prompted some previously hesitant people to get inoculated against COVID-19 but it's forced others out of their jobs.
Among those health care workers who have been fired for not getting vaccinated is Dr. William "Tommy" Redwood, an Atlanta emergency room physician, who said he's not an anti-vaxxer but has concerns about the possibility of side effects from the shot.
What I'm saying is if the intention of the vaccine mandate is to prevent transmission of disease from a healthcare worker to the patient population, then the vaccines aren't going to achieve that," Redwood told WAGA
The Georgia doctor noted that people who are vaccinated can still spread the virus and America has seen breakthrough cases. Some skeptics have pointed to breakthrough cases as evidence vaccines are ineffective
But last week, Redwood says he was fired from working in both hospital systems for failing to follow vaccine mandates for all healthcare employees.
The letter sent to him by Piedmont Healthcare said "you have not been vaccinated or approved for any exemption from the policy" before explaining he was being terminated.
"We’re being denied that opportunity to do what we’ve been doing all along because we’re not willing to get this vaccine," Redwood told the FOX 5 I-Team while sitting on the back patio of his Tyrone home.
For his personal health status Dr. Redwood believes the risk of serious side effects outweigh the potential benefits of the vaccine. Most experts agree the vaccine side effects are minimal. Millions of Amercians have been vaccinated.
Piedmont, Wellstar, and Emory Healthcare all have vaccine mandates. None has disclosed how many employees lost their jobs for ignoring the policy.

Yeeeep! It is indeed October and not August.
There are many of these cases of fired professionals who have refused to get vaccinated. I think elsewhere there has been some progress and there have been offers to re-employ some of the workers who have been dismissed. But the whole practise is scandalous and remind us the grounds this absurd and ludicrous vaccine campaign was based on.

With the current knowledge they should quit wasting millions on advertisements to convince people to get vaccinated boosted. If some wants to believe they'll get a milder case of covid if they're vaccinated, then those are the only ones who need to bare their arm. Certainly not coerce or allow parents to force it on their children!

The crisis the ultra-liberal state of Oregon went through when they mandated the vaccine for medical professionals was unreal...I mean like living in the twilight zone around here!
Hospitals were laying off doctors, nursed, assistants, etc...it's was madness!!!
Then in the same breath...complaining how overwhelmed they were with the virus rampaging through the communities!
It was literally a circus around the major cities in Oregon...Portland made the national news a few times...so did Eugene...it was like a movie or something...complete chaos!!!

And here is the coverage of his study
The dismissal of professional doctors, nurses, teachers, etc, is unacceptable, unethical, scandalous, and should be a matter of a legal investigation. All those dismissed should be given a written apology, their jobs back, and a generous compensation.

Many are still waiting on this very thing...likely never to happen though!

Well, although the manufacturers of the vaccines are immune to lawsuits, that doesn't mean that the entities that FORCE others to take such vaccines are also immune to litigation due to the damages those demands have caused, does it?

manufacturers of the vaccines are immune to lawsuits but they arent immune to the other medical drugs.

I don't know whether we can find a database with all those or let's say with most of those who were fired because they refused to get vaccinated.
How absurd it is that one looses their job because he/she refuses to get vaccinated. Since when vaccinations are job requirements?
And not taking into account that these vaccines are untested, experimental, and potentially hazardous causing several serious adverse reactions and death.
