Federal organizers to prosecute Mayo Clinic on the mandate of the vaccine

A lawsuit filed this week by federal employment organizers claiming that Mayo Clinic has violated the employee’s religious freedom by forcing him to obtain a Covid-19 vaccine.

The United States Employment Equals Committee filed the lawsuit against the health care provider in Rochester on Wednesday.

The lawsuit claims that the Mayo guard asked for an exemption from the requirements of the company’s vaccine in 2021, noting his racist faith. According to the lawsuit, the employee offered to wear a mask and test Covid-19 instead of obtaining a vaccine.

It is claimed that May denied the request, and the employee told that he did not meet the requirements of religious exemption.

According to the lawsuit, Mayo told the employee that he would be expelled if he did not get the shot. The employee got vaccination shortly after.

Mayo Clinic set a condition for employees to obtain vaccination in the fall of 2021, according to the lawsuit.

“Employees have the right to request reasonable religious residency places without fear of punishment or termination, including vaccination policies,” said Andrea Lucas, Chairman of the Employment Opportunity Committee. “Effective forced employees to submit to vaccines against created religious beliefs, it can violate federal civil rights laws.”

In response to an investigation of MPR news, Mayo Clinic said it does not comment on the suspended litigation.

Federal organizers are seeking financial compensation and wanting from Mayo Clinic to update the policy of exempting the vaccine.
