Houston Methodist Hospital responds to Texas AG Ken Paxton's warning about 'woke' COVID-19 vaccine policy

HOUSTON — Houston Methodist Hospital is responding to a warning about the COVID-19 vaccine from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

On Monday, Paxton sent a letter to Methodist following allegations that they "may deny organ transplants to patients who chose not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine."

The letter directs the hospital system to clarify whether its policies comply with state law prohibiting discrimination against organ transplant patients based on vaccination status. Paxton gave Methodist 14 days to provide a written explanation of steps taken to comply. He threatened that failure to respond would result in a formal investigation.

“Texans looking to receive medical care should never be turned away due to arbitrary COVID-19 vaccine mandates imposed by woke medical providers,” Paxton said in a statement. “Vaccine mandates as a precondition for certain life-saving treatments may not only violate new state laws that became effective on September 1, but they also violate human dignity and run contrary to foundational principles of medical ethics."

We contacted Houston Methodist for a response, and they said Paxton's allegations aren't true and never have been.

"Houston Methodist does not have a policy requiring transplant patients be vaccinated against COVID-19, or any other disease, and does not deny care based on vaccination status," the hospital said in a statement to KHOU 11. "We abide by all state laws and as one of the largest transplant programs in the country, the safety of our patients always comes first."

It's crazy to think that being an absolute idiot isn't the most concerning thing about Ken Paxton.

When has "the truth" ever stopped MAGA from their favorite passtime of persecuting people who are different?
