All:
Well stated.
I have “lurked” on Freerepublic for 18 years. I stay away from posting due to the sensitive nature of work in the IC and Navy. I can’t read in silence anymore. Both my careers, Navy Reserves which I so dearly love, and civilian career as data scientist, are at risk due to this government.
A couple of questions for experts: do empathetic and sympatheict doctors exist? Mine has drank the full-on Kool Aid.
Anyone have experience getting a vaccine waiver for Long Haul COVID?
If we are terminated due to inabiity to get shot for medical reasons, doesn’t that fall under ADA/discrimation?
Companies who have Federal contracts ARE REQUIRED to have employees vaccinated. This is separate from Biden’s mandate.
The business rationale for requiring the vaccine is “the vaccine prevents spread”. 3 of my doctors, including a doc at Walter Reed, verified it does NOT prevent the spread. Am I misguided to accuse my employer of firing me under false pretenses, since the vaccine does NOT prevent the spread and therefore unvaccinated are NOT a danger to other employees?
God bless this forum and its members. I should be more interactive since I know longer have any more to lose...
“Medical, Immune exemption: Evidence of existing immunity (e.g., by serologic antibody test, documentation of previous infection or natural infection presumed)”
“Health care professionals are available for consultation regarding exemption recommendations. Both health care professionals and service members are encouraged to contact the DHA Immunization Healthcare Support Center at 877-438-8222 (DSN 761-4245), Option 1, for vaccine medical exemption guidance.”
I’m a civilian so I have no experience with the system.
It cites two cases that involves the anthrax vaccine that were unfavorable to servicepeople.
It is my opinion that enlisting in the service comes with about a 1/2000 risk of death, about 500 times greater than the risk of death from vaccination.
Enlisted people might consult a doctor to choose the best course of vaccination. Probably the Pfizer is best unless they really need the more likely better hospitalization protection of the Moderna. Expect to have to get boosters with the Pfizer.
If you have a Republican Congressional representative, ask the representative to support a natural immunity exception in the military funding bill.
The precedents are very unfavorable.
Dear Commander-in-Chief Joseph R. Biden:
If you are going to be so disrespectful of the science of natural immunity and of the value of my husband’s life, health and belief in the value of all human life, I will make sure that he will not be reenlisting.
A Loving Wife
