OAKLAND - United KP Freedom Alliance and several individuals filed a federal complaint on October 7 in the Northern District of California against Kaiser Permanente over its vaccine mandate.
According to the complaint, on Aug. 2, 2021, Kaiser Permanente announced that it would mandate that all of its more than 200,000 employees nationwide get the COVID-19 vaccine. Plaintiffs that have brought forth this complaint include doctors, nurses and other support staff that are employed with Kaiser Permanente and wish to challenge the mandate.
Plaintiffs allege that a vaccination mandate cannot be supported when more than 99.8% of those infected with COVID-19 survive and obtain a natural immunity that is superior to the vaccine-induced immunity, the vaccines are ineffective against the Delta strain, the CDC Director acknowledged that the COVID vaccines do not prevent infection or transmission of COVID-19 and the vaccine only reduces the symptoms.
Anyone who doesn't get the vaccination will be terminated from Kaiser Permanente no later than Dec. 30, 2021, according to the CEO who gave the date in a press release. Plaintiffs allege that not only is the vaccination not needed, but it is against their religious freedoms, it is an invasion of privacy and it violates other U.S. Constitutional rights.
Plaintiffs are represented by John W. Howard.
