Did I mention that Illinois Democrats specifically rewrote the law to ensure its protections didn’t apply to COVID-19 mandates?

You know this is never going to end, right?

Here's more:

On Oct. 12, a three-justice panel of the Illinois First District Appellate Court backed hospital company Advocate Health, saying the hospital and medical clinic system can’t be sued by a nurse who was fired after she asserted her religious beliefs did not allow her to comply with the company’s mandate requiring workers to receive the vaccine as a condition of continued employment.

Laura Lenz filed suit against Advocate Health and Hospitals Corporation in February 2022.

The lawsuit came about five months after Lenz was fired from her job as a nurse at Advocate Christ Medical Center in suburban Oak Lawn.

According to court documents, Lenz was among a number of Advocate employees who lost their jobs in 2021 when Advocate imposed a mandate that all workers receive an approved Covid-19 [sic] vaccine or face termination.

Advocate operates 11 hospitals and a host of affiliated medical clinics and other health care [sic] offices in the Chicago area, including Trinity Hospital and Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago, Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, and Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove.

So here's the salient question:

Should people in the medical profession who work closely with sick and ill patients be required to get jabbed — as opposed to employees in non-medical jobs? 

In this case, I ask you — and you weigh in if you're inclined to do so.

Anyway, after the mandates were imposed, multiple Advocate employees filed lawsuits in Illinois and other states, as well, claiming that COVID-19 mandates violated their religious rights to object to injecting the vaccines into their bodies and, as a result, that they should be exempted from the mandates. 

It should be noted that lawsuits weren't only filed because of religious beliefs. Some filers were more concerned about potential side effects and/or long-term complications related to the jab. 

As with yours truly, they refused to believe "the science" — which became a moving target at best — pushed by the left, and as a result, they did their own research. 

Based on my own objective research, my answer to the jab was — and will always be: Oh hell no.

The Illinois Health Care Right of Conscience Act

The Illinois Health Care Right of Conscience Act generally protects state residents from being compelled to participate in medical acts they believe contradict their religious or conscientious beliefs. However, in 2021 the Illinois Democrat-majority amended the Act, which was promptly signed into law by Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker. 

The measure, Senate Bill 1169, amends the Illinois Health Care Right of Conscience Act, a 1977 law originally intended to shield doctors and pharmacists from liability for refusing to participate in abortions. Gov. JB Pritzker’s office reported that he signed it late Monday while he was at [sic]an overseas trip to Glasgow, Scotland, for the United Nations Climate Change Conference. 

The amended law went into effect on June 1, 2022. Pritzker said in a statement after signing it into law:

Masks, vaccines, and testing requirements are life-saving measures that keep our workplaces and communities safe. Keeping workplaces safe is a high priority, and I applaud the General Assembly for ensuring that the Health Care Right of Conscience Act is no longer wrongly used against institutions who [sic] are putting safety and science first.

Uh-huh, science. Remember how stubbornly the Democrat Party clung to "the science" — until it didn't?

The Bottom Line

Never forget this fundamental truth about the Democrat Party:  

Democrats are very fond of science, the Constitution of the United States, the U.S. Supreme Court, the Electoral College, and federal, state, and local laws, statutes, and regulations that support or protect their various narratives, proposals, and policies. 

And when they don't? 

Democrats do their damnedest to change any or all of the above — if not ignore them altogether. As a result, is it even a question of why objectively thinking people don't trust the left?
