A Federal judge is allowing Minnesota health systems to keep their COVID-19 employee vaccine mandates. U.S. District Judge Nancy Brasel made the decision yesterday, saying that the legal bar hasn’t been met to block them. Attorneys for the health care workers argued that the employees face discrimination and retaliation for not getting the vaccine. Attorneys for the health systems say the claims are simply untrue and the vast majority of the employees are facing either a requirement for vaccination or termination.
