FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Senator Kelly Townsend Reaches out to Banner Health CEO, Peter Fine, to Encourage Accommodation of Employees Regarding COVID-19 Vaccine
JULY 21, 2021
Phoenix, AZ
Yesterday, the CEO of Banner Health, Peter Fine, sent an email to employees advising them that as of November 1st of this year, being vaccinated for COVID-19 would be a condition of employment. But for a few minor exemptions, most employees would need to comply if they wanted to keep their jobs with the medical facility.
Senator Townsend expressed her concern with the decision. "The Legislature just passed a law that would provide for a religious exemption for employees who objected to the vaccine." Townsend continued, "I am concerned that Arizonans have not been made aware of this change and I want to ensure they have the opportunity to make the decision for themselves if they will be taking an experimental vaccination as a condition of employment."
"I have reached out to Mr. Fine and expressed my concern about the policy. I just sent him an email and will follow up with a hard copy letter to explain that I requested an opinion from the Arizona Attorney General back in March regarding vaccinations as a condition of employment, and recommended that he not solidify the policy until that opinion is published." Senator Townsend recommended that in the meantime, he communicate to his employees the new opportunity to opt out due to religious objection so that the employees could make an informed decision.
"The law is now clear regarding providing employees a religious exemption, and we need to make sure the public is aware of that. While we want to keep everyone safe, we cannot do so at the detriment of medical choice and freedom. I trust that Mr. Fine will take appropriate action to ensure the rights of his employees are preserved."

As we go to celebrate election integrity efforts with President Trump, I would like to post this to show how far we have come. Here is a short glimpse of who was interested in election integrity before it was cool. This is a seven minute excerpt of the hearing. Worth the watch I think.

Senator Kelly Townsend
1st she said she didn't read my bills. Then, the language was sloppy. Next, I went around her and her committee. Now she says it's show legislation I was doing for myself. What is it @MichelleUgenti about election SECURITY, that the entire caucus supported…
It was an honor to stand with these two veteran Patriots last night! Sonny deserves the recognition that he got. Wendy is up and coming! And many more legislators who have been in this fight on the house side and in the Senate. And we couldn't have had the success we have had so far without your support and your pressure. This is your victory, not ours. But we are not victorious yet. We must continue to press for truth and election integrity. Godspeed.

I compiled his mentions of us in the Senate in this 4 min video. Since there was a big applause in the crowd and he stopped, I decided to add a shameless picture of what was going on LOL. Good job everyone!

I will be sending a similar letter today to Honor Health to remind them it is against the law now to not allow for a religious exemption to the Covid vaccine.
