Preface: I am not looking for medical advice or help in decision making. Just venting and hoping to get an idea of how other folks in my situation are making out or how they are preparing.
So… my job has a strict vaccine mandate that is set to start Jan 4th. Basically, if I don’t load my card into the HR system which collects these, I will be fired from my job on Jan 5th… no severance. My religious exemption, originally approved at first, was ultimately denied, and they are not allowing exemptions for remote workers (like me), nor periodic testing in lieu of an injection. Despite numerous back and forth emails with HR, they are sticking to their guns (or needles) with this directive.
I was at first dead set on not getting it for the same reasons and fears that everyone else has. I was hoping that the various court challenges, etc. would put a pause on it until I found a better job, but that didn’t happen.
I would normally welcome the idea of time off (especially while living in Florida), however, IF i did find a job, I would take a significant cut in pay. Also (and most importantly) personal insurance would be too expensive per month (Thanks Obama). I have some orthopedic issues I need to have addressed in the coming year and cantt afford the premiums or deductibles on an individual Florida Blue plan.
I just moved to Florida (working from my mother’s house, job HQ in NJ) and need to afford buying a condo (housing prices are through the roof). I won’t be able to finance if I don’t have a job, and I worry I wouldn’t be able to afford monthly HOA/condo fees and taxes if I pay cash.
I am between a rock and a hard place. At this point, I am debating just getting the J&J/Janssen one and done, as the risk of side effects (as a mid-40s male) seems the least compared to the mRNA ones, and it’s more like a traditional “vaccine” compared to the gene therapy of the others.
Anyone else gone through or facing a similar situation/decision? How did you/are you managing through it and making ends meet? I am not so much worried about a salary as I am the insurance coverage (once again, thanks Obama!).
[I’d say to the OP, is this the job you dreamed of? If not, maybe don’t worry too much about the salary and use this as an opportunity to find the career he/she wants.]
No, it’s by far a dream job. But it pays the bills nicely, and allows me to work from home which I love (I dread the idea of having to commute again). Not to mention the health insurance benefit which I need.
Plus, I am being paid NJ wages while living in Florida. Wages for the same position here in Florida are a LOT less, so I would be taking a massive pay cut.
However, none of that matters if I have to now deal with a debilitating illness as a result of a bad reaction to the “vaccine” (on top of all of the orthopedic issues I am dealing with).
Plenty of evidence here...

But let’s be real... do you honestly think this crooked government would put out numbers of bad reactions and deaths as a result of the BS shot they are pushing?? That would completely destroy their narrative.
You blame the government because you can’t find ANY local evidence. Nice that you have such faith in the Biden’s government that they can be hiding thousands (millions!?) of vaccine deaths.
But you found a bunch of anonymous people from all over the world complaining they know a guy who’s 3rd cousin got a blood clot and its totally related to the AstraZeneca shot they just a month ago.
Well, show me the autopsy reports. Or a study showing the risk of stroke or death following a vaccine. Yeah, I know, there is a giant conspiracy to hide the mountains of dead people who took the vaccine.. (but disregard the actual evidence of the people who are suffering and dying from covid each day who could have escaped with a mild case had they listened to the cdc, fda, every living president, 96% of doctors, etc, etc...)
Bro... why are you even on this site? Did you get lost trying to find Democrat Underground?? Or whatever circle jerk site you liberal dopes frequent?
yes I guess I don’t really understand that side of the argument. I know many church friends who are forsaking the vaccine, but haven’t had a chance to figure out if they are anti-vax in general or just with COVID 19. Sort of a touchy subject, especially with people just getting to know.
I have folks at church who have had it.
Didn’t like the results.
Encourage ME to be jabbed.
(Probably because they don’t want ME to go through it.)
Some others have had it, had the shots and are STILL scared of catching it again!
UH Huh...
At least that's what they've been TOLD by...
... the cdc, fda, every living president, 96% of doctors, etc, etc...)
Them 4%ers are just CRAZY!
I just had a discussion with my pro vaxx sister.
We keep it very low key because she knows I am anti vaxx.
She admitted to me that she knows people who got both vaxxes and a booster and still got Covid—so she is beginning to have some doubts about wtf is going on....
I am hopeful that if enough triple vaxxed people get the Omicron they too will start questioning authority.
