- nurse Jennifer Bridges about Dr. Bowden @MdBreathe (thread 2/)
Jennifer Bridges has been working as a private nurse since Houston Methodist fired her and 150 other health care workers for not getting vaccinated.
Methodist was the first U.S. hospital to institute a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for its employees and contractors.
(Thread 3/)
On Monday, a federal court stopped Pres. Biden’s vaccine mandate for health care workers in 10 states, though not Texas. Judge wrote:
“the scale falls clearly in favor of healthcare facilities operating with some unvaccinated employees.”
(Thread 4)
“I want Methodist to be held accountable. I want to bring them down basically. I want everyone to know the truth. They fired me for something that doesn't work. For no damn reason, they made me lose my job.”

“You can’t force somebody to get an injection against free will. It’s awful. Methodist Hospital opposes what I am doing- allowing patient choice and patient autonomy over their own health.”
“I'm hoping he can get the trach put in soon, so I can get him out of there,” Erin Jones told me after the court ruling against her husband getting Ivermectin at Texas Health Huguley Hospital.
“I still have my faith. It will make Jason's testimony that much stronger.” Thread 2/
“We are not giving up and are working to get Mr. Jones transferred to a hospital that cares more about human life and patient autonomy than politics and control,” said Dr. Mary Talley Bowden @MdBreathe after the court ruling. (Thread 3/)
From the Jones Family Appeal Plea about Texas Health Huguley Hospital:
"Dr. Seiden admitted that the NIH upgraded their position on Ivermectin from being against its use to being neutral with regard to its use." (Thread 1/4)
"Dr. Seiden admitted that in the NIH list of drugs described as 'Characteristics of Antiviral Agents That Are Approved or Under Evaluation For Treatment of COVID' the first is Remdesivir and the second one is Ivermectin." (Thread 2/4)
Dr. Seiden "admitted that off-label use of drugs is not prohibited and using Ivermectin for COVID would be considered an off-label use."
(Thread 3/4)
Here's the email from @gofundme about why it removed the fundraiser for the Jones family last night.
Sheriff Deputy Jason Jones is dying of COVID. His wife Erin is a stay home mom of six children. Her best friend created the gofundme when Jason was put on a ventilator. 2/
Since I first made the Erin and Jason Jones names public in the court battle over Ivermectin and "right to try", the @gofundme went from $2K to $36K.
Erin Jones texted me today, “I don’t know if I will get any of the donations?”
Read this comment in the exodus online community from an Afghan:
“It's even making us frustrated, depressed that the US government leave us behind, we are those who proudly worked along with the Americans allies here in Afghanistan.”
“I was mostly at my workplace in the Embassy coz I was kinda good in English, all those Americans know and understand me, how hard I was working, but now we are abandoned behind, it's really sad and disappointing. Really sad.”

As I wrote ten days ago, Dr. Mary Talley Bowden warned her patients that Houston Methodist Hospital was “discussing denying care for unvaccinated people.”
The hospital denied the accusation and revoked Dr. Bowden’s privileges in retaliation.
Thread 1/
Secretly, Methodist Hospital changed its policy on Monday to say unvaccinated people are not welcome there. 2/
A hospital policy of “only vaccinated visitors enter the hospital or physician offices” means the unvaccinated can’t go there for medical care. But Methodist claimed it will not deny care for unvaccinated. Read my story #EmilyPosts 3/ emilypostnews.com/p/houston-meth…
