Michigan Woman Awarded Million After Being Fired for Refusing COVID Shot

A former Blue Cross Blue Shield employee was recently awarded $12 million by a federal jury in Detroit when she sued the insurance company for religious discrimination. Lisa Domski had worked at Blue Cross Blue Shield for almost 40 years when she was denied a religious exemption to the employee COVID-19 shot mandate.1 2

Although Domski informed her employer that her Catholic faith prevented her from complying with the vaccine mandate, Blue Cross Blue Shield never followed up with her or her priest to confirm her devout religious beliefs.3 The insurance company refused to grant her any accommodations as required under Title VII and fired her.

Shots Required for Employees Working from Home

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which is enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, protects employees from religious discrimination in the workplace. Employees who inform their employer that their sincerely held religious beliefs prevent them from complying with a mandatory work requirement are protected from discrimination and retaliation in the workplace under Title VII. Employers have an affirmative obligation to seriously consider the request, enter into good faith talks and offer appropriate accommodations.4

In this case, Domski, an IT specialist, worked remotely 75 percent of the time prior to 2020 and 100 percent of the time during the pandemic. Rather than allowing Domski to continue to work remotely 100 percent of the time, the insurance refused to provide her any accommodations for her religious beliefs and fired her.

Jon Marko, Domanski’s attorney, explained:

This was a woman who was working from home in her basement office who wasn’t a threat to anybody and had been completely fulfilling all of her job obligations for 38 years.5

Blue Cross Blue Shield denied any religious discrimination and questioned the sincerity of Domski’s religious beliefs. The jury awarded Domski $10 million in punitive damages together with $1.7 million in lost wages and $1 million in non-economic damages.6
Blue Cross Blue Shield’s statement in response to the extraordinary verdict read:

Throughout the pandemic, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, together with its employees, worked to promote the health and safety of our colleagues, stakeholders, and communities.7

Jon Marko said:

Our forefathers fought and died for the freedom for each American to practice his or her own religion. Neither the government nor a corporation has a right to force an individual to choose between his or her career and conscience. Lisa refused to renounce her faith and beliefs and was wrongfully terminated from the only job she had ever known. The jury’s verdict today shows BCBSM that religious discrimination has no place in America and affirms each person’s right to religious freedom.8

More Religious Discrimination Lawsuits to Follow for Blue Cross Blue Shield

Tanja Benton, another remote employee of Blue Cross Blue Shield, was also recently awarded $700,000 by a federal court in Tennessee after being fired by the insurance company for refusing to comply with their COVID shot mandate due to her religious beliefs. Jon Marko shared that he is representing 170 other plaintiffs in wrongful termination cases against Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.9

Settlement Reached in Navy COVID Vaccine Lawsuit

They refused to comply with the Navy’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Then came the lawsuit, sailors arguing the Navy violated their First Amendment rights by ignoring sincerely held religious beliefs. A settlement has been reached. The case began with 35 members of the special warfare community and was eventually expanded into a class action suit on behalf of 4,300 Navy SEALs and sailors. The plaintiffs cited religious reasons for refusing the COVID-19 vaccinations.

I Was a Super-Fit Mum-of-Two Who Ran Triathlons—Until I Got the Second COVID Vaccine

Initially, I didn’t hesitate to get the vaccine, and I thought I was doing the right thing to do so we could all move on. I’m not an anti-vaxxer, I’ve had vaccines before. It’s never been a problem… I thought it was the right thing to do. I had my first Pfizer vaccine in 2021. I had it in my left arm. Initially, I had a very sore arm, like a lot of people had. So I wasn’t too concerned. It went away after a few days and I kept doing what I was doing. Three weeks later, I had my second Pfizer vaccine. And, initially after that, I instantly got a massive swelling in my arm pit, so I did see the doctor the day after having it. The doctor said she’s never seen anything like it.

My ears are probably some of the worst part of it. One of the doctors told me I might need to do something like plastic surgery on my ears and reconstruct them because of how my ears have blown up. Obviously, the story is hard to look at… 23-year-old Alexis Lorenze has been sharing her struggles with followers on TikTok. This comes after she was admitted to UCI Medical Center in Orange [County] for a rare and life-threatening blood disorder. For religious reasons, Alexis and her family have long abstained from vaccines. However, she says the hospital informed her that continuing treatment required vaccinations. Alexis says she reluctantly accepted, but says her body had extreme adverse reactions, leaving her battling for her life.

 

“Thousands Left Disabled” After COVID Vaccines

It is so easy to forget, and in fact we are actually encouraged to forget and to move on and to look the other way and not consider the fact that, for a moment in history in 2021 to 2022, roughly, we actually came as close as possible to mandating an untried drug to the population that was rushed through at the speed of science… that was according to Pfizer executive Janine Small in October 2022. Well, it’s now 2024 and the effects of the speed of science are only just really becoming apparent. In the U.K.’s own vaccine compensation scheme, there have been 14,000 people who have applied for payments.

NEW YORK POST: Gov. Tim Walz accused of ‘massive overreach’ as VP pick’s COVID record slammed

Gov. Tim Walz accused of ‘massive overreach’ as VP Pick's COVID record slammed by critics: 'Complete and utter failure’

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will have to defend draconian decisions and glaring errors he made as a state leader in the COVID pandemic after being selected by Kamala Harris on Tuesday as the 2024 Democratic vice presidential candidate.

Walz, 60, was one of several Democratic governors accused of “massive overreach” in wielding executive power to shutter schools, businesses and churches during the once-in-a-generation pandemic.

The Minnesota governor in 2020 even set up a hotline through which law enforcement received more than 10,000 emails from residents snitching on neighbors ignoring lockdown measures during that first year of the pandemic, Alpha News reported.

In selecting the Minnesota governor, the Harris campaign on Tuesday touted his dedication to countering Republicans who want to “roll back Americans’ rights” — saying he had “stood up for fundamental freedoms” in the past.

But that’s exactly what lawmakers and civil liberties groups accused him of not doing during the COVID years.

“From overseeing the largest COVID-19 fraud scheme in the country, to asking neighbors to tattle one another for violating lockdown mandates, to forcing hospitalized COVID patients back into their nursing home facilities — Tim Walz proved during the pandemic that he does not have the competency to lead in times of crisis,” House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) told The Post.

“Like the rest of his tenure as governor, Walz’s pandemic response was a complete and utter failure,” Emmer ripped his former House colleague.

The backlash came mostly from Republican lawmakers and conservative groups — but even Democrats in the state legislature were voting against Walz keeping his emergency powers based on his performance close to one year into the crisis.

“In 2020, Governor Walz unilaterally closed places of worship, schools, and businesses for several months, infringing on the rights and freedoms of Minnesotans under the guise of emergency powers,” a spokesperson for the Upper Midwest Law Center told The Post in a statement. “His heavy-handed approach during COVID-19 demonstrated a troubling disregard for constitutional freedoms and the rule of law.”

Follow The Post’s coverage on Kamala Harris’ running mate Tim Walz:

“The federal district court of Minnesota overruled Governor Walz’s shutdown of the churches in the Northland Baptist case and the resulting settlement required him to refrain from any further discrimination against churches in his COVID-related orders,” the spokesperson said of their suit against him, which followed an earlier complaint against the governor’s emergency powers that was later thrown out by an appeals court.

“Despite the ruling in our case,” the rep added, “Governor Walz continues his same pattern of overreach, disregard of constitutional protections, and lack of respect toward his fellow Minnesotans.”

With classrooms closed, average reading and math scores dropped for fourth and eighth grade students between 2019 and 2022, according to U.S. Education Department data.

There were also hundreds of millions of dollars wasted on various COVID relief efforts — some of which fraudsters abused.

The US Department of Labor found that Minnesota overpaid roughly $434 million in unemployment insurance to state applicants from July 2020 to June 2023.

A shocking $250 million scheme that also took place on Walz’s watch allowed a Minneapolis nonprofit to pocket federal funds paid to the Minnesota Department of Education, ostensibly for the feeding of the needy children.

Operators of the nonprofit, Feeding Our Future, instead used the taxpayer money for their luxury lifestyle — including buying lavish cars and real estate holdings as far away as Turkey and Kenya.

When he tried to shirk responsibility, Walz was swiftly rebuked by a district judge, who determined that the state Education Department “voluntarily” funded the fraudsters without taking heed of “serious deficiencies” in its oversight.

Like disgraced New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Walz also caught flak for contributing to higher rates of nursing home deaths due to their policies, the Star Tribune reported.

Reps for the governor’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Minneapolis: Four Mohameds Convicted of $250,000,000 COVID Fraud

That’s a lot of Mohamed.

I’ve been covering the massive Feeding Our Future fraud case for a while now and it’s an insane story made only madder by a last minute twist.

In 2019, Feeding Our Future distributed $3.4 million in taxpayer food aid funds to the non-profits it was sponsoring, In 2020, that shot up to $42 million and then up to $197 million in 2021.

Glahn in an American Experiment found that, “Feeding Our Future had 312 authorized sites for the program, approved for a maximum of 126,000 children.” That’s a lot of hungry Somali kids.

The Feds staked out various Feeding Our Future meal sites and found no one at the places that were supposed to be feeding 50,000 children.

According to the Twin Cities Pioneer Press, S&S Catering led by Qamar Ahmed Hassan received $13.8 million in federal funds. The FBI warrants note that, “Qamar Ahmed Hassan wrote approximately $27,000 in checks from S&S Catering bank accounts… to Amax Travel, a travel agency that specializes in Haji travel packages.”

Haji is the Islamic obligation for every Muslim to visit their holy city of Mecca.

Then suddenly a few days ago there came the $120,000 bribe dropped off at a juror’s place.

A juror in a Minneapolis trial related to $250 million in stolen pandemic aid reported that she had a sack with $120,000 in cash delivered to her door — and a note promising more if she voted to acquit.

It didn’t work and the four Mohammeds and one Abdaziz are done.

After three days of deliberating, the jury found five defendants, Abdiaziz Shafii Farah, 35, Mohamed Jama Ismail, 51, Abdimajid Mohamed Nur, 23, Mukhtar Mohamed Sharif, 33, and Hayat Mohamed Nur, 27, guilty of most crimes related to the scheme, according to a Friday Justice Department (DOJ) news release.

That’s a lot of Mohamed.

Of course, this just means that we’re going to spend millions more on them in the justice system. That’s Catch 22 on migration from corrupt terror states. Even when they get nailed, we still pay for it.

Federal Health Agencies and the COVID Cartel: What are They Hiding?~Testimony of Barbara Loe Fisher at Sen. Ron Johnson Roundtable on Federal Health

Testimony of Barbara Loe Fisher at Sen. Ron Johnson Roundtable on Federal Health Agencies and COVID Cartel

Barbara Loe Fisher giving testimony at Sen. Ron Johnson roundtable

Barbara Loe Fisher, Co-founder & President of the National Vaccine Information Center, sheds light on the history of the 42-year old vaccine safety and informed consent movement in the U.S., censorship and government accountability in her testimony part of a Feb. 26, 2024 roundtable discussion sponsored by U.S. Senator Ron Johnson, titled “Federal Health Agencies and the COVID Cartel: What Are They Hiding?” In her statement, Fisher talks about demonization and discrimination against parents and vaccine victims who have long been marginalized and silenced by vested interests within federal health agencies, pharmaceutical corporations, and mainstream media. She describes a systemic campaign aimed at suppressing freedom of thought, speech and conscience and hiding the truth surrounding vaccine risks and failures.

Thank you Senator Johnson for this opportunity to talk about how vaccine victims have been blamed, shamed and betrayed over the years by doctors and scientists paid by federal agencies and industries, and by some members of Congress working especially since 2019 with political operatives and corporate media to silence anyone who criticizes vaccine science, policy and law so the truth can be hidden, and public conversations about vaccine risks and failures can be shut down.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Today, everybody knows somebody who was healthy, got vaccinated and was never healthy again. Of all developed nations in the world, America has the worst infant and maternal mortality rates and is home to the most highly vaccinated, but the sickest and most disabled child and young adult populations.9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

That inconvenient truth, that failing public health report card bankrupting our nation,19 is central to what we are talking about today.

Demonization of and discrimination against those who decline to get a government recommended vaccine—or talk publicly about how they or a loved one were injured or died after vaccination—has been going on since the 19th century.20 But what is happening in the 21st century in the name of disease control, national security and “the greater good” is escalation of an historic denial of vaccine risks and failures that has become a dangerous assault on freedom of thought, speech and conscience, and poses a grave threat to the biological integrity and natural rights of the people.21 22 23 24 25

It has been 44 years since my two year old son was brain injured by his fourth DPT shot, 26 and 42 years since I watched the Emmy award winning documentary DPT: Vaccine Roulette,27 and then joined with other parents of pertussis vaccine injured children to establish the charity known today as the National Vaccine Information Center at NVIC.org.28 29 Our mission is to prevent vaccine injuries and deaths through public education. We do not make vaccine use recommendations. We defend the ethical principle of informed consent to medical risk taking and the legal right for adults to make voluntary vaccine decisions for themselves and on behalf of their minor children without being coerced or punished for the decision made.30 31 32

I worked with parents and Congress to secure safety and informed consent provisions in the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986.33 It was an historic law, the first official acknowledgment by government that federally licensed and state mandated vaccines can and do injure and kill some children.

On Jan. 4, 2024, my eyewitness perspective on how and why child vaccine victims and their parents were betrayed after that law was passed 38 years ago was featured in a two-hour conversation I had with Del Bigtree on “The Highwire.”34 I encourage everyone to watch it and learn how parents trusted that the five years of work we put into that 1986 Act—to successfully secure life-saving informing, recording, reporting and research provisions; and to protect the legal right of vaccine victims to sue vaccine manufacturers for product design defect and to sue negligent doctors for medical malpractice; and to create an expedited, more just, less traumatic federal vaccine injury compensation system alternative to a lawsuit—were destroyed by congressional amendments,35 federal health agencies36 37 after the law was passed.

Following that betrayal of trust, Congress directed federal agencies to create lucrative public-private business partnerships38 with the pharmaceutical industry, a business deal that has broken America’s public health system. Legislation enacted in the 1990’s39 40 41 42 43and after Sept. 11, 200144 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 laid the groundwork for the rise of a public health empire, which is funded and operated by government and the wealthiest and most politically powerful individuals, corporations, and public and private institutions in the world.52 53 54 55 56 Now those operating that empire are threatening our legal right in this constitutional republic to exercise freedom of thought, speech and conscience.57

Past is prologue. The betrayal of the public trust during the COVID pandemic could not have happened if many of the leaders we elected had not long ago abandoned rational thinking, and succumbed to fear based propaganda tactics requiring us to give up the natural right to autonomy for an illusion of safety.58 59

On Feb. 26, 2024, Senator Ron Johnson held a public roundtable forum entitled “Federal Health Agencies and the COVID Cartel: What Are They Hiding?” in the Senate Russell Office Building on Capitol Hill that included testimony from 22 scientists, doctors, journalists, whistleblowers, parents of vaccine injured children and dissidents opposed to extreme COVID pandemic response policies. Among those testifying were NVIC’s Barbara Loe Fisher. Key themes that emerged during the four-hour hearing were: betrayal of the public trust by industry and government; psychological operations and propaganda tactics used to create fear that includes magnifying SARS-CoV-2 risks and hiding mRNA COVID shot risks; censorship of freedom of speech orchestrated by federal agencies and public-private partnerships; and lack of transparency and accountability by government and World Health Organization officials, who promoted draconian pandemic response policies, such as lockdowns and mandated use of COVID shots.
