More than 170 health care workers at a Houston, Texas, hospital were reportedly suspended for two weeks without pay this week for choosing to not get the coronavirus vaccine by the hospital’s Monday deadline, which the hospital requires of its workers.
The employees will be fired after the two weeks if they don’t get vaccinated, FOX 4 in Dallas reported.
Houston Methodist Hospital President and CEO Marc Boom said that 99% of it more than 25,000 workers had been vaccinated by the deadline.
"It is unfortunate that today’s milestone of Houston Methodist becoming the safest hospital system in the country is being overshadowed by a few disgruntled employees," Boom said in a statement, according to KHOU-TV in Houston.
Boom announced the suspensions in an internal memo obtained by The Washington Post on Tuesday.
"I know that today may be difficult for some who are sad about losing a colleague who’s decided to not get vaccinated," Boom wrote in the memo. "We only wish them well and thank them for their past service to our community, and we must respect the decision they made."

After publicly ridiculing unwilling lab rats with the lable “disgruntled employees”, the hospital said in an internal email, “We only wish them well and thank them for their past service to our community, and we must respect the decision they made.” It has now been reported that they offered a $500 bonus for anyone who got the shot....that is the HIGHEST BRIBE I have heard about to try and make people comply....wonder if all the rest of us should wait and see what the very best offer is that one can obtain, also should that offer be expanded to people that have already been vaccinated?
