This is strong-arming and unethical. I have valid medical concerns about the shot. Now I am going to lose my job because I have legitimate concerns and will NOT be forced into it by anyone.

I'm willing to take this stand but it is very scary considering that I have a wife and kids to provide for.

frick these NAZIs.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act has you covered.

Religious exemption.

Sue. Then clinch your cheeks. It's going to be a rough ride but you are doing the right thing.

I am going not only for the religious but also the medical exemption. However, you know as well as I do that as soon as I put my name on that exemption list, it will also be the same list that they use to fire people. My days are numbered there.

I don't care what any court, politician, soldier, officer, boss, preacher, celebrity, or twit-star says on the subject. NOBODY has the right to force me to put "medicine" in my body.

Q1. Is there a significant portion of the workforce at this company who does not like this policy? I'm not saying that they would be willing to quit like you. But, I mean just unhappy that the company is doing this. If so, those will be important.

Q2. Are you black? If so, there is a real claim that this policy will adversely affect black people since black people are vaccinated at a much lower rate.

Q3. Is there a union at this company yet? If not, I'd consider organizing and letting it be known that there is an a organization forming. Private companies hate this.

Dr. Navarro on war room made sense. they should have OFFERED it for old people there is no reason for anyone younger to get this vax.

I think they are saying all age groups but the very young just to control.

I still think over 50 or underlying health conditions, and health care professionals should be the only ones taking the vax.

Those with autoimmune should be exempt.

When the vax first came out people were mad that the hospital & medical profession got it first. Now it is cool to not get it...

They are a private company and can require whatever they want, how is that unethical. And your medical concerns over a vaccine boils down to politics, let’s not kid ourselves.

I’m 55, have had the Rona, and will not take the jab. I may reconsider in 5-10 years as I get a little closer to 70 but no way now.

I agree with where you’re coming from, just think your age cutoff is a little low

And they won't be. It would have to be your decision. Unfortunately, it sounds as though your decision will carry negative consequences. I'm glad I am out of the work force. Don't envy your position. I am sure the company has weighed its options on do it or not do it and hopefully, it's a risk aversion reason and not a political one.

Why is this so difficult? Yes, it is fricked up they're making you do it but how about not taking a stand and take the shot.
