Oklahoma Bill Would Allow Employees to Sue for $1 Million Over Mandated Vaccines

A recently introduced Oklahoma Senate bill may allow employees of government and private entities to file lawsuits against their employers for as much as $1 million over health problems associated with vaccines or other forms of medical treatment.

State Sen. Rob Standridge, a Republican, said in a statement that Oklahoma employees would be able to sue their employers over medical issues connected to operations or treatment as a condition for employment.

“If an employee is required to receive the vaccine or some other medical treatment as a condition of employment and it causes that person harm, our citizens need to know they’ll have some recourse that will provide them with meaningful relief,” he said. “That’s what my legislation will do.”

The legislation, Senate Bill 1106, allows a worker to also bring a claim if the “employer knowingly required the vaccination or treatment without confirming its safety based on publicly available medical testing and documentation,” the statement continued.

The bill would also encompass employers’ mandatory vaccines for COVID-19, the illness caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, Standridge’s statement said.

“Upon a finding of liability after a claim,” his office added, “the employer will automatically be subject to $1 million in punitive damages.”

The measure, which will be considered during the start of the 2022 legislative session, would impact all private and public sector employees and employers.

Federal health officials have repeatedly said that COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective, arguing that some studies have suggested the shots’ benefits outweigh possible side effects.

Earlier this year, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), along with health regulators in several European nations, said that both the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are associated with two forms of heart inflammation: myocarditis and pericarditis. Meanwhile, federal health officials and European authorities paused the usage of Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine in the spring due to reports of blood clots.

The state lawmaker’s bill proposal comes after the Biden administration earlier this month unveiled a sweeping labor rule that mandates federal employees, businesses with federal contracts, and healthcare workers who are employed at Medicare- or Medicaid-funded facilities to get the vaccine.
