Michelle Fiscus / IMAGE: WKRN News 2 via YouTube (John Styf, The Center Square ) Michelle Fiscus , Tennessee’s former top vaccine officer, has sued the Tennessee Department of Health and its top two officers over her firing in July.
Fiscus was fired amid political pressure from the fallout of a memorandum in which she attempted to justify encouraging teenagers to get vaccinated without parental consent.
Since then, she has continued to make her presence known through interviews with national left-wing media outlets, including the staging of what appeared to be a hoax in which she sent herself a dog muzzle.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Nashville, says Fiscus is suing for injunctive relief and damages caused by the firing and “defamatory statements” she claims were made by Department of Health Commissioner Lisa Piercey and Chief Medical Officer Tim Jones.
The lawsuit says Fiscus asked for a name-clearing hearing but was denied.
Fiscus was fired by the state in early July, and, after her firing, the Department of Health released a memo from Jones outlining the reasons for her termination.
“[Communicable and Environmental Diseases and Emergency Preparedness Division] leadership and TDH Human Resources received multiple complaints from program staff regarding [Fiscus’] management style, treatment of employees, and poor program morale,” the memo said.

Fiscus said she did not see the letter until after it was sent to the media.
She claimed her firing was related to a memo she sent to vaccine providers about the Mature Minor Doctrine, showing case law from 1987, and interpreted it to mean minors could choose to get health care, including a vaccine, without parental consent.“The letter should have been reviewed by both leadership and departmental legal counsel,” Jones wrote in his July 9 memo to Piercey about Fiscus’ termination.“However, Dr. Fiscus did not share the letter nor otherwise include any of these parties in the drafting process prior to sending it out” Jones continued. “This action resulted in confusion of both law and policy for private providers, parents, and legislators.”Fiscus’ lawsuit, which was filed Thursday, shows an email in which she received the interpretation of the Mature Minor […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
