seafoam1 2,816 Posted November 9, 2024 https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/woman-fired-for-refusing-covid-vaccine-wins-record-12-million/ar-AA1tNDE6?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=4bf1197f34874a4bab8c97b3a69ab01c&ei=42 A federal jury in Detroit awarded more than $12 million Friday to a former Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) employee who was terminated after declining to get a COVID-19 vaccination, citing religious discrimination. According to the verdict form, Lisa Domski, who worked at the insurance company for more than 30 years as an IT specialist, received $10 million in punitive damages against Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. The jury also awarded her approximately $1.7 million in lost wages and $1 million in noneconomic damages. Domski claimed she was a victim of religious discrimination after the company denied her request for an exemption from its 2021 vaccine policy. She maintained that the requirement conflicted with her Catholic beliefs. Court records show Domski worked 100% remotely during the pandemic and 75% remotely before COVID-19 emerged in 2020. Her attorney, Jon Marko, argued that even without vaccination, she posed no risk to others due to her remote work arrangement. "Our forefathers fought and died for the freedom for each American to practice his or her own religion. Neither the government nor a corporation has a right to force an individual to choose between his or her career and conscience," Marko said in a statement. "Lisa refused to renounce her faith and beliefs and was wrongfully terminated from the only job she had ever known. The jury's verdict today tells BCBSM that religious discrimination has no place in America and affirms each person's right to religious freedom." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's all coming back now. The hysteria that was the left during a time of unrest. And they wonder why Trump just kicked their ass this election. Biden and Fauci and the other greedy ass democrats who fomented that scam should all be ripped down financially to begin payback for people who were fired like yourself.

TimHauck 2,633 Posted November 10, 2024 I was always against the mandates so am OK with this decision, but weird IMO that it seems to focus on her Catholic religion as the reason she won. Where in Catholicism does it talk about not taking vaccines? Or was she doing the thing where they claimed the covid vax had dead babies in it or something?
