The head of the CDC said that nearly every COVID-19 death in the US is preventable...

Unless, of course, you don't get vaccinated. Which is what's happening in Missouri, for example (see yesterday's Morning Sixpack).

53 Hospital Workers Quit Or Were Fired Because They Refused To Get COVID Vaccines

DALLAS — More than 150 employees at a Houston hospital system who refused to get a COVID-19 vaccine have been fired or resigned after a judge dismissed an employee lawsuit over the vaccine requirement.

A spokesperson for Houston Methodist Hospital system said 153 employees either resigned in the two-week suspension period or were terminated on Tuesday.

The case over how far health care institutions can go to protect patients and others against the coronavirus has been closely watched. It's is believed to be the first of its kind in the U.S. But it won't be the end of the debate.

In the June 12 ruling, U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes of Houston deemed lead plaintiff Jennifer Bridges' contention that the vaccines are “experimental and dangerous” to be false and otherwise irrelevant. He also found that her likening the vaccination requirement to the Nazis' forced medical experimentation on concentration camp captives during the Holocaust to be “reprehensible.”

Take a look at the bolded parts.

#1 - Of course it won't be the end of the debate, nor will it be the end of lawsuits. Expect to see a variation of this at SCOTUS. And it won't end well.

#2 - Jeebus! She really went there. This is from the same ilk at the idiots who tried to overturn an election by overrunning the US Capitol, led by the manbaby idiot who idolized Hitler. That's right, #TFG used to keep Mein Kampf at his bedside.

You know, contemplating vile hatred is something you need to sleep on!
