Health Care Giant Northwell Denies Some
Benefits to Workers Fired Over Vaccine Mandate

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 9/30/2021 7:25:38 PM

Northwell Health, the largest health care provider in New York state, is denying some benefits to employees it’s firing because they refuse to comply with the state’s COVID-19 vaccination mandate for health care workers. Those terminated lose all employer contributions to their retirement plans for this year unless they’re older than 62. They are also denied payouts of any of their remaining paid time off (PTO), according to a FAQ sheet recently emailed to the workers and obtained by The Epoch Times.

Comments:

And there’s more. Images of excerpts from the FAQ sheet given to employees. Absolutely incredible.

I hope Northwell Health has some good lawyers on staff (actually I hope they don't), because they are about to get sued out the wazoo. And I hope they end up paying out the wazoo too!!!

So, people were given waivers on paying their rent or mortgage, due to a virus that they had no control over. Millions more were giving extra unemployment payments to help make ends meet due to a virus they had no control over. Now, due to a virus, no one had any control over, this company has decided to PUNISH people? Hope no one dies due to them being short-staffed. After all, can they prove that people got sick from any of these people who are now getting fired?

The unvaccinated should be suing the vaccinated. Just heard today two people in our Church dying, who were not vaccinated, but they caught the virus from relatives who had been vaccinated. Question? Are those who have been vaccinated, carriers (contagious) of the virus and are like typhoid Mary, giving the coronavirus to the unvaccinated? And if so, aren't the vaccinated the DANGEROUS ones??? Bet you aren't hearing about those vaccinated giving COVID to others. Well, maybe. Remember, all the political demonrats who escaped from Texas to D.C. and came down with COVID? They all had been vaccinated, but they were contagious to themselves and others. Hmmmm?

These same health care companies were hailing these same workers a HEROES just a few months ago. Now, thanks to pressure by the Biden administration and threats to withhold Meicaid/Medicare funds, they are willing to throw these heroes away like yesterday's trash. Taking away already earned benefits seems to be just a spiteful kick in the teeth to those who loose their jobs because they refuse a vaccine that does not prevent you from getting Covid.

#5, it's called "shedding" and it was purposely built into the non-vaccine gene therapy drug they are forcing on everyone. The shot makes it easier for the illness to be transmitted to others who don't take it.

When President Joe Biden delayed the Afghanistan withdrawal timeline from May to September, some observers were left scratching their heads. After all, it’s well documented that summertime is traditionally the peak fighting season in Afghanistan. According to a study from the Small Wars Journal, this trend exists for two main reasons. The first and most obvious factor is that harsh Afghan winters make travel challenging. (snip) Second, many Afghan fighting forces fund their efforts via harvesting opium poppy. Once this cultivation finishes in early spring/late winter, fighting increases, (snip) Rep.

What this study finds is exactly what vaccine developer Geert Vanden Bossche (Belgium) has been predicting. The predominance of antibody-resistant SARS-CoV-2 variants in vaccine breakthrough cases from the San Francisco Bay Area, California. [DATA LINK HERE] The California study finds that vaccinated individuals are more susceptible to COVID variant infections than unvaccinated. Geer Vanden Bossche has been warning that vaccine antibodies would suppress natural antibody responses. The vaccine antibodies take control of the immune system and defend only against a targeted virus. Among vaccinated individuals, a COVID variant virus is not recognized by the specialized antibodies provided by the vaccine, and the natural antibodies have been programmed to stand

A pregnant mother chose to have her leg amputated to save her unborn baby when she was diagnosed with cancer. Kathleen Osborne, 28, from Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, in England, had no idea she was pregnant when she went for an MRI scan diagnosing cancer for the third time. She couldn’t believe it when doctors found that she was also pregnant. Doctors gave Kathleen two options: abort her baby so she could start chemotherapy or have her leg amputated. Incredibly, it only took one night for Kathleen to make her life-changing decision and she had her entire right leg amputated at four months pregnant. Kathleen’s baby daughter, Aida-May, was born healthy and happy, eight weeks early,

The United States outspent every other country in the world combined when it came to the top-selling 20 pharmaceutical drugs, according to a recent analysis of company financial filings by Public Citizen. Americans spent a total of $101.1 billion, while the rest of the world spent $56.8 billion, on the top 20 drugs. The key findings of the analysis report (pdf) indicate that U.S. consumers overpay for drugs, and do not necessarily intake more than people from other countries. The best-selling 20 drugs brought $157.8 billion in total global revenue for pharma companies with the U.S. accounting for 64 percent of the revenue pie.

WASHINGTON — Washington's tempestuous week of walking, chewing gum, juggling balls and spinning plates at the same time is giving rise to apocalyptic rhetoric about the state and future of the country.Four big things are happening at once, all attended by hyperventilation. The White House talks of a “cataclysmic economic threat” if Republicans don't start cooperating. Republicans assail Democrats for unleashing a "big-government socialist nation.” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says: "Insanity and disaster are now the Republican Party line.” It's a contest to see which side can bash back better. This is what governing by crisis looks like. It may be the only way anything gets done.

Since Democrats have tiny majorities in both the House and Senate, a few defectors can squash Biden’s entire plan. Liberals are reveling in their leverage. They shouldn’t be.

On Saturday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Yasmin Vossoughian Reports,” Rep.

Torres said, “[T]here’s misconception about the price tag of the Build Back Better Act. The Build Back Better Act, the original draft, it is not 3.5 trillion over the course of a year. It’s over the course of ten years. So, it’s $350 billion. Which, for a $20 trillion economy like ours, is a modest investment. So, I think it’s shortsighted to focus on the price tag.”

Benedict Cumberbatch is reflecting on playing a closeted cattle rancher who falls in love with a young man in 1920s Montana in his new movie “The Power of the Dog.” The Oscar-nominated actor plays Phil Burbank, a hypermasculine rancher who inspires fear in awe in those around him—a reign of terror that comes from a deeply closeted sexuality. His made-up persona runs into some trouble after his brother (Jesse Plemons) brings home a new wife (Kirsten Dunst) and her queer son (Kodi Smit-McPhee). Phil torments them until he finds himself exposed to the possibility of love.

There’s a lot to critique about Republicans, but for mismanagement and for blindly putting ideology above all else, President Joe Biden may be the all-time champ.Biden campaigned as a pragmatist who could bring stability and national unification. His inaugural address was all about these themes. America needs some level of national healing more than anything else. Americans can’t go on at each other’s throats. The country is falling apart.
