B.C. court dismisses lawsuit from doctor fired for not taking COVID vaccine

B.C.'s Supreme Court dismissed Dr. Theresa Szezepaniak's petition against her termination for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine, stating the Canadian Charter does not apply to health authority decisions on employee vaccinations.
Justice Steven Wilson found that the provincial government allowed health authorities to decide on vaccination enforcement, including employee termination.
Szezepaniak, terminated for not complying with the vaccine mandate, experienced unemployment and argued that her termination caused financial and psychological harm.
Wilson noted that the Charter does not guarantee the right to work specific jobs without vaccination, reinforcing the hospital's authority to uphold health bylaws.
