Saw this story earlier today but couldn’t post it. The Trump justice department is suing a nursing home for requiring a nursing assistant to get a flu shot against her “religious beliefs”. She doesn’t even belong to a church. Her body is the temple. This is complete bullcrap that the government is supporting this woman in her suit. Read the article.
Barnell Williams didn’t want a flu shot.
But the nursing home where she worked forced her to get one, she alleges, even after she explained that the vaccine went against her religious beliefs. Her body, Williams allegedly told her employer, is a holy temple, and the Bible prohibits her from putting foreign substances into it.
On Tuesday, the federal government sued Wisconsin’s Ozaukee County, claiming that Williams faced religious discrimination in 2016 when the county-owned nursing home, Lasata Care Center, mandated she get a flu shot to continue working there. Williams, a certified nursing assistant, had worked at the nursing home from December 2015 to June 2017, according to the lawsuit.
