Michigan Health System Employees Sue Over Vaccine Mandate

The Epoch Times Logo

A group of 51 employees of a Detroit health care organization filed a lawsuit on Sept. 6 challenging their employerโ€™s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

The lawsuit argues that the Henry Ford Health System (HFHS) violated the plaintiffsโ€™ right to bodily autonomy and their right to reject medical treatment under interpretations of the 14th Amendment. The lawsuit seeks a court order declaring the mandate unconstitutional and unenforceable.

Representatives for HFHS didnโ€™t respond to a request for comment by press time.

The HFHS had announced a vaccine mandate on June 29, advising staff and contractors to be vaccinated by Sept. 10. HFHS management warned that those who werenโ€™t vaccinated by the deadline would face suspension and be given until Oct. 1 to receive the vaccine.

The lawsuit (pdf) cites data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) to allege, contrary to the description provided on the VAERS website, that โ€œ13,627 deaths have occurred in the U.S. as a result of COVID-19 โ€˜vaccines.’โ€

The lawsuit goes on to cite an anonymous person, who identifies as a computer programmer, providing a โ€œprofessional estimateโ€ that VAERS data is underreported by a factor of five. The lawsuit uses the anonymous affidavit to allege that โ€œ65,000 Americans have lost their lives to these โ€˜vaccines.’โ€

โ€œThe Mandate requires that Plaintiffs choose between exposing themselves to potential harm or death or abandon their careers in health care,โ€ the lawsuit reads.

A disclaimer on the VAERS website states: โ€œVAERS accepts reports of adverse events and reactions that occur following vaccination. โ€ฆ While very important in monitoring vaccine safety, VAERS reports alone cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event or illness.
