Vanity/Vent- Vaccine mandate at job… what to do??
VANITY | 12/21/2021 | Me

Posted on 12/21/2021 7:54:02 AM PST by ObozoMustGo2012

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!).

Tell them that your doctor told you to wait for the Novavax vaccination.

What IS happening with Novavax? I thought it was supposed to be out by now.

Novavax failed to raise adequate capital to bribe all the politicians, regulators and mass media outlets.

Frankly, and I am a father of 4 dependents, not the sword to die on. Same with my work. We are put on leave without pay if we don’t vaccinate. Yes, there is a risk with the vaccine as not enough time has passed to really evaluate the side effects. But I deem that risk as pretty low. I know of many people in my church giving up their jobs. An RCMP fellow said he will be looking for work, as he refused the jab. He has 4 very young kids. While I hate this mandate fascism, getting the jab seems a prudent alternative to living in a tent city.

Show me one healthy person in your county that died from a vaccine. I bet you can’t.

I’m not ignoring everyone’s right to refuse to take something they don’t want to take. You get to decide.

I clearly said anyone fat or over 50 _should_ get vaxxed, but if you want to test your immune system against a virus that has killed millions world-wide.. go for it.

How about fat people LOSE WEIGHT??????

The risk for someone with no cormobidities dying from Covid are less than .1 %.

Just how much of am improvement in my survival can you guarantee me by taking an experimental vaccine that has been known to and shown to cause such serious side effects up to, and including death? How much less than 1 in 1,000? And that for it being untreated. If early prophylactic treatment were given, that reduces it far more without injecting unknown, untested, and unproven substances into my body with God knows what out come in the following months or years.

Show me that the risk of dying from a cold virus justifies that kind of risk.

So you are asking me for information that you will then blow off as anecdotal?

Here, try this instead.

(Uber, Lyft, spark, not doordash though. They Pay garbage.)

Unfortunately my car is too old to be able to drive for ride share co’s. I was thinking about Doordash, since I am really not a fan of shopping for other people. Just pick up their bag and go.

My son works for a company doing business with the Airforce. He was forced to get jabbed and was very sick from it. But he kept his job. This is an evil device bringing an end to we the people sovereignty. we are not sovereigns when the ruling pols dictate to our life force with an ‘or else’ attached.

As a mid-40 male, take the j&j and be done. You’ll have a near zero risk of any serious complication (better than 1 in 250,000) and you’ll have added immunity against a disease that has killed and maimed people far healthier than you. If someone says the J&J is dangerous, ask for examples of people who have died from taking it. You’ll get crickets.

So why is the CDC recommending other choices instead of the J&J, citing people dying from blood clots?

Added immunity? So these people having bowed to the oligarchy and gotten the jabs then got the virus, where did their ‘added immunity’ go? Have you heard of ...oh never mind, you’re notthing but an agitprop helping the demise of freedom in favor of serfdom.

If you are working in Florida, private employers anywhere are not allowed to deny you a religious exemption, just for starters. Find more details and file a complaint here: http://myfloridalegal.com/pages.nsf/Main/A38C79AFA3D34E828525879F0061BC85

You can do uber eats with an older car. They’re is a trick to it you have to call thr number a few times.

Doordash doesn’t pay enough to justify thr effort
There are plenty of services out there. I make good money... enough to pay bills and support a family of 3.
Do it now though. Background checks take a awhile and come January there won’t be any openings

Thanks for the info. I am “working” in Florida from my home... my company is in New Jersey. Would this law still apply?
