NORWALK — A former nurse at PIH Health Whittier Hospital who alleges she suffered discrimination and was later terminated in 2021 because of her religious objections to being tested for the coronavirus has responded to the hospital’s motion to dismiss her case, defending her stand and denying the facility’s claim she resigned.
“My religious beliefs led me to oppose this sort of invasive testing, so I asked for a religious accommodation from the testing and included an attestation from my religious leader…,” Acevedo-Cosio says. That experience is part of what led the woman to “seriously and prayerfully consider how my religion applies to things like testing, just as hearing that PIH would be imposing mandatory vaccination led me to prayerfully consider and read my Bible to more consciously determine my convictions regarding that vaccination,” she says.
