Benny Gallo, a Nationals scout, was fired when he would not get a COVID-19 vaccine. Now he is suing to get his job back, and to get the team to provide the accommodations he alleges are required by law.
He could have gotten the shot, if for no other reason than to save his job as a scout. Instead, he is“I’m drawing the line on this,” Gallo said. “In the long run, I know I’m right.”
Gallo cited both. In his lawsuit, which discusses his convictions “as a devout Christian regarding the sanctity of his physical body” and his control over what goes into it, a footnote cites three passages from the Bible, in support of what the team had said would need to be a “sincerely held religious belief.”
Gallo told the Nationals he had “natural immunity” from the virus. A physician had told him such immunity might be stronger and last longer than whatever immunity the vaccine might provide. For now, Noymer said, the COVID vaccine resembles the flu shot: It can reduce your risk of infection, and it can reduce the risk of severe illness if you do get infected, but it cannot eliminate the risks.
He told the team he would get tested once a week, and he would wear a mask indoors. In nine years with the Nationals, he said, he participated in three in-person meetings.
