John Beauge | Special to PennLive
Stapp represents more than 100 unvaccinated Geisinger employees granted vaccine exemptions for religious reasons. They sued to stop Geisinger and its affiliate facilities from requiring them to be tested twice weekly for the virus.that would have prevented the termination of the unvaccinated who refuse to be tested.
They dispute the health system’s claim its COVID-19 policy was implemented in part due to recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and the state health department., Stapp said he is prepared to present expert testimony that Polymerase Chain Reaction and antigen tests are ineffective for detecting the COVID-19 virus.
The employees further contend there is a genuine dispute of material facts with regards to the benefits of vaccinated healthcare workers. The employees in their suit claim religious discrimination, violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution and failure to provide reasonable accommodation.
The health system also argued the plaintiffs failed to exhaust their administrative remedies because complaints had not been filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission.
