Woman claims she refused to get the COVlD shot because she believed the vaccines were tested or developed using fetaI cells obtained from abortions, which led to her losing her job even after she filed for a reIigious exemption; Iawsuit

Detroit, MI – According to the court documents, the 66-year-old woman from Michigan, Lissa, has been awarded nearly $13 million payout after filing a discrimination Iawsuit against her former employer. According to the Iawsuit, the woman claims she was fired after refusing to get the COVlD vaccine. Despite following the appropriate channels provided by her company for workers o file for a religious exemption, the woman’s request was denied, the Iawsuit claims. According to the Iawsuit, the elderly woman declined the shots because she believed the vaccines that were in circulation at the time were either tested or developed using fetaI cells that were obtained from abortions.

The woman filed a Iawsuit against the former company, claiming the company unfairly fired her two years ago for refusing to follow her company’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate as it was against her religion. According to the Iawsuit, the woman worked for the company for nearly four decades before they fired her after she refused to get the shot. 

According to the Iawsuit, the company (BCBSM) reportedly required all staff to be fully vaccinated from COVID-19 unless they apply for religious or medical accommodations. The woman claims she followed the company’s policies and filed for a religious exemption, only for her request to be denied. According to the Iawsuit, the 66-year-old woman refused to get the shot because she believed the vaccines that were in circulation at the time were either tested or developed using fetal cells that were obtained from abortions.

One month after refusing to get the shot, the woman was fired. The woman was among 200 other employees fired by the same company after requesting a religious exemption to the mandate. According to the Iawsuit, the woman worked from home when the pandemic started four years ago. According to the woman’s attorney, she ‘worked from home in her basement office and wasn’t a threat to anybody and was completely fulfilling all of her job obligations for 38 years’. According to the Iawsuit, the woman ‘refused to renounce her faith and beliefs and was wrongfully terminated from the only job she had ever known’.
