A Waynesville man has sued a Georgia company and Fort Leonard Wood claiming employment discrimination because of his Hebrew religion. Todd R. Campbell filed a complaint Friday at Springfield’s federal courthouse against the U.S. Army base and Nitelines USA of Duluth, Ga. Nitelines USA provides health care, professional and administrative support services for the federal government.
According to the complaint, Campbell was hired under a one-year contract in March 2006 to work as a pharmacist at Fort Leonard Wood hospital.
After he began work, Campbell was told he must provide vaccination records, the complaint said. Campbell argued he was exempt from vaccinations because of his Hebrew religion.
Campbell alleged the defendants terminated him on July 10, 2006, because of his religious beliefs.
He requested $124,680 in damages, which would include the contract’s remainder.

Campbell argued he was exempt from vaccinations because of his Hebrew religion.
What aspect of Judaism should exempt a Jew from vaccinations?
“Campbell argued he was exempt from vaccinations because of his Hebrew religion.”
HUH?
Will someone please explain the logic and basis of this ludicrous lawsuit?
its not him who cant have vaccinations, its his beheyma, which he’s keeping for a korban for when mashiach comes (or is it his cow for chalav yisrael, since you cant get any chalav yisrael in the wilds of georgia)
MiMedinat HaYam: Waynesville is in Missouri (MO), not Georgia. St. Louis is just 2 hours away, with plenty of chalav yisrael.
he isnt a yehudi for goodness sakes! “hebrew” is not a yehudi.
MiMedinat HaYam: If I found a Yid who was not insane and is sincerely keeping an animal specifically for the purpose of a korban in the hope that Moshiach will come soon, I would accord him a great deal of respect.
I am told that Rav Nosson Vachtfogel zt”l used to keep a suitcase full of Shabbos clothes with him to be ready in case Moshiach came. My cousin invited him to his chasunah in Montreal, and he said that he can’t be there because he expectes to be in Yerushalayim, having gone there with Moshiach. Or s omething to that effect.
Perhaps I’ve misunderstood the point you are making?
