From a friend in NYPD:
This is the line at an NYPD station of officers lined up to go out sick tomorrow as that’s the deadline for the vaccination. pic.twitter.com/U5ABI4QBaQ— Michael Berry (@MichaelBerrySho) November 1, 2021
So they have to forecast being sick tomorrow and apply in advance?
Does NYPD have to report to medical in order to call out sick?
My company came out with a vax mandate and I have filed for a religious exemption. My initial request had the following statements... I received a message today that they want to have an interactive discussion about my request... The focus of the discussion is to learn more about your religious beliefs and restrictions, and discuss potential accommodations.
I am a little nervous as to what they might ask, how I might respond, etc. I don't want to lose my chance at an exemption by fumbling my responses. Any guidance and resources would be appreciated. Below is what I said in my initial request for the religious exemption.
"The Christian Church has condemned abortion, which is the killing of human infants while in the womb. I believe that life begins at conception and abortion is murder and a sin. There are many bible stories which provide God’s view, and therefore my view, of human life including that of the unborn. The Scriptures reveal that God knows us even before we are conceived. Any use or benefit of a murdered/aborted life is something I cannot have anything to do with. The use of aborted fetuses in either the development or production of these vaccines, or both, when my religious beliefs require that I respect all human life, including fetal life… I cannot, in good conscience and in accord with my sincere religious faith, take any such Covid vaccine.
All the Covid vaccines currently available were developed and/or confirmed using fetal cell lines, which originated from aborted fetuses. Taking a vaccine offends me and my deeply held religious beliefs and it makes me complicit in the sin.
I have not, and would never, knowingly take any vaccine that was developed or produced with fetal cells or other parts that have been harvested from aborted children. Nor would I knowingly take any medicine developed in the same manner. My body is a temple for my soul, given to me by God. I am reminded of the bible verse from Corrinthians “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” The violation of informed consent is a matter of religious conscience. Participating in such invasive, coerced medicine at any time offends the very core of my conscience and faith."
