THIS ATTORNEY IS TAKING ON THE WORKERS CASE. >> I FOR PRESENT 188 HEALTHCARE WORKERS THAT ARE GOING TO BE TERMINATED IF THEY REFUSE THE VACCINE. >> WE HAVE A MASSIVE, CATASTROPHIC NURSING SHORTAGE. WHAT YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN IF THEY TERMINATE A PORTION OF THE NURSING POPULATION? >> Reporter: THEY SUPPORT VOLUNTARY MAC VACCINATION PROGRAMS AND THAT MANDATES WILL CONTINUE TO EXACERBATE STAFFING SHORTAGES. >> DOES THIS LAWSUIT HAVE A LEG TO STAND ON? >> IT DOES. >> Reporter: THE LAWSUIT HAS A PARTICULARLY STRONG CASE WHEN IT COMES TO RELIGIOUS EXEMPTIONS. >> THE CURRENT U.S.
SUPREME COURT, BASICALLY CONSERVATIVE LEANING, 6-3, HAS BEEN SUPPORTIVE OF THE RELIGIOUS LIBERTY ARGUMENT IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS REGARDING THE PANDEMIC. >> Reporter: CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL SAID 88% OF THE HEALTHCARE WORKERS ARE FULLY VACCINATED. MAYO CLINIC IS 98% OF DOCTORS AND 80% OF STAFF. FAIRVIEW TOLD US THEY ARE CONFIDENT THAT MORE OF THE HEALTHCARE WORKERS WILL SOON GET VACCINATED AND THAT WILL HELP THE HOSPITAL AVOID THE WORKER SHORTAGE THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE WORRIED ABOUT. >>> 85% OF.
