The heroes in the Covid era are the people who stuck to their guns and fought being needle raped by Biden. The worst is it did not stop transmission so people who didn't want to be grandma killers got played.


"A federal court in San Francisco, California has confirmed a ruling granting $7.8 million to Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) employees who were fired for failing to get COVID-19 shots.1

In October 2024, a federal jury awarded the transit workers $1.3 million each in a class action lawsuit in which a half a dozen transit employees in the Bay Area were denied religious exemptions and or accommodations when they requested a religious exemption to the COVID shot mandate.2

The employees alleged that BART granted some religious exemptions to COVID shots requested by employees, yet denied accommodations for every worker who refused COVID shots based on religious beliefs, which is a in violation of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act. While 70 of the 179 religious exemptions were granted, none of the employees received accommodations.3

Employers may offer accommodations such as providing medical leave, relocating the work area, changing job duties or changing schedules when an employee files a religious exemption. All of the employees who sought a religious exemption and an accommodation were eventually forced to resign, fired or retired. This is in sharp contrast to the BART employees who pursued a medical exemption to COVID shots. One in three of employees seeking a medical exemption was offered an accommodation.4

The main plaintiff, David Joules, a long-time BART employee, alleged that he was fired for not only refusing to get the novel shot, but also for being outspoken about his opposition to the COVID shot mandate. Joules maintained that BART failed to listen to employee feedback and put employee’s health and safety in jeopardy.55 Joules’s attempts to engage with BART about the potential COVID-19 mandate and its impact on the employees repeatedly fell on deaf ears.6
...


The Extraordinary Verdict Sets Precedent

Alsup made it clear that the case hinged upon whether BART would have been able to accommodate the employees without undue hardship and was not a statement about the shot’s efficacy or whether BART exceeded its rights as an employer.11 The extraordinary verdict demonstrates the repercussions corporations could face enforcing blanket health mandates without being transparent about the decision process or consulting employees."
