I am sorry to have to do this yet again, but my hearing dates have been rescheduled yet again so I must. My final two days of hearing have been rescheduled and agreed upon to be held on Feb. 19th and 20th of 2025. That is almost a year later as the first 3 days were held March 19th, 20th and 21st 2024. I am told this date is set in stone, so hopefully there will not be anymore rescheduling. If there is though I will once again post an update!

Thanks again everyone for your continued support! I am so very blessed to have all of the friends and family that I do and I am truly grateful for each and every one of you!!!

Hello Everyone,

Thanks again for your continued interest and support. We have dates for the final two days of hearing in which the hospital will present their side and evidence and we will then cross examine their witness and expert testimonies. The last two days will be held on October 23rd and 24th of 2024 via Zoom.

It is a public hearing so those interested can watch the hearing via Zoom but please remember to MUTE yourself and turn off your camera so you do not to interrupt the proceedings or bog down the connection. If you happen to be a witness who has yet to testify in this case you MAY NOT view the hearing.

Thank you all for your prayers and support as we move into the final stages of this long but worthwhile process.

Much Love and Respect to You All!!!

God Bless!!!

I was waiting for the next date to provide an update but alas no date yet and so I thought I best not wait and share an update.

We finally had our first 3 days of hearing way back in March.

We had a few early small issues ruled in our favour, and therefore our expert Dr. Speicher was qualified and testified as an expert. He testified to the minimal risks involved to patients and other employees in permitting an unvaccinated healthcare worker to work as well as clarifying that not everyone who is vaccinated produces the antibodies to equate to protection, and therefore those who do not seroconvert present the same risks as an unvaccinated employee when vaccine status is relied on instead of serology. He also clarified that if an unvaccinated employee was to become sick they would more likely feel the full effects and stay home from work whereas a vaccinated employee may feel less symptoms and therefore be more likely to go undiagnosed and spread illness in a hospital environment. He was very knowledgeable and was an excellent witness whom I cannot thank enough for taking the time to act as a witness in this case.

My father, Keith Loder took the stand after me to reaffirm religious convictions in declining vaccinations as well as confirm my belief in going to God first and using natural healing modalities whenever possible. He did a wonderful job, I am so proud to have him as my father! Pastor Nate Wright also took the stand to support Christian beliefs in managing our health care decisions by taking our concerns to God first and then listening to our conscience to follow where He leads us for healing. He was so calm and coherent on the stand, he was a wonderful representative to have testify on my behalf! 

I am absolutely thrilled with the way everything has gone thus far. We have been granted two more days of hearing to hear the oppositions witnesses however those days are yet to be scheduled.

Thank you so much to those who have testified, prayed and offered moral and financial support, I wouldn't be here without you all!

Sincerely,

Shanda Loder

God Bless!

Hello Everyone,

Thanks once again for your continued prayers, kind words and financial contributions.

The first three days of hearing have been held! I was on the stand for most of the entire first day and half the second day; I am very glad to have that part of things done with although I feel it went well. My father (Keith Loder) and Pastor Nate Wright also took the stand to defend our beliefs on the second day and the third day was all Dr. David Speicher, the expert witness acting on our behalf to demonstrate that unvaccinated employees present very little risk to others in the environment. The opposition tried very hard to have Dr Speicher disqualified but he was qualified as an expert and did a wonderful job! Everyone was amazing on the stand! I cannot thank them enough for putting themselves through such a stressful process on my behalf. Our heavenly advocate was surely with us all, keeping us calm and coherent all the while corroborating each other. All in all, while we do not have any sort of ruling as of yet, it feels as though those first three days went really well for us, but there are still more days to go as we didn't get to any of their witnesses.

We have been given two additional days to finish the hearing in which their witnesses and expert will be testifying. Those dates are yet to be determined and likely won't be until August or later. When I know I will be sure to put out another update to inform you all.

So far legal and expert fees have reached $43,000.00. Thank You from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has been able to contribute financially, and all those who have made substantial loans to myself for this cause. It is a daunting number to face, and there is no way I could afford it all on my own. Many heartfelt thanks for you contributions and may God Bless all of you for your generosity and care!

Thank You All So Very Much!!!!

Hello Everyone,

Thanks again for your continued prayers and support.

Expert Witnesses have been recruited but they do not come cheap and neither should they for the amount of work being asked of them. It is an estimated 80hrs for each of our experts to write their reports and then they will also need to commit the time and handle the stress of testifying before the tribunal. I need your help in ensuring these brave and wonderful experts willing to put their reputation and careers on the line are properly compensated for doing so.

Thus far legal fees have totaled $20,000.00 (which I borrowed to pay my lawyers and have yet to repay) and an additional $8,000.00 is required for Expert Witnesses. I need your financial support at this time to help cover the associated costs already accrued and those that still may arise before the hearing. Moving this forward has been very costly to me and my family, to continue to bring this before the tribunal with the supports necessary to prove this case I truly do need and thank you in advance for your financial support.

Thank you for your prayers and please keep them up, it helps to keep me uplifted and encourages God to move in this situation, His will be done!

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for your continued support and patience throughout the hearing date scheduling process.

It has been decided that there will be three days of hearing to decide the case. If three days is not sufficient time written submissions will be accepted to provide adequate information to satisfy a ruling. Hearing dates have been scheduled for March 19th, 20th and 21st 2024.

Due to this being an ongoing case I am limited in the information I can share at this time but things are steadily moving ahead. 

Now that a date is set, legal and associated fees are also coming due which is why I have again published this campaign. $5,000 has been paid with $15,000 remaining to be paid for legal services; depending on the time it takes to prepare for the hearing as well as compensate experts for their time, this may or may not be the final amount due. It is estimated that expert fees will be on top of the current $20,000.00 retainer. I greatly appreciate any amount you are able to give towards these fees at this time; I truly understand times are tough on us all and no amount is too small to be grateful for!

I will be sure to maintain the campaign and keep it live from now until March 2024.  

Thank you all once again so much for your prayers and support! It really does encourage me at this incredibly stressful time, and I cannot express my gratitude enough!
