They fired her for being pregnant. She's going to get paid.

Source article says she and her husband wanted to get pregnant, not that she is. She's concerned about fertility issues and wanted to wait to vaccinate because of how rushed the vax is. She got fired because she didn't want to risk sterilizing herself right before she and her husband started trying for their first child.

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission already said months ago that employers are allowed to do this.

Odd since the vaccine hasn't been shown to prevent transmission, only symptoms. So at worst the employer would be avoiding an employee calling out sick for a week. It has no bearing on workplace safety.
