Fireman Protests Mandatory Vaccinations At Rally In California

The Daily Caller’s Jorge Ventura filmed a Los Angeles firefighter speaking out against the vaccine mandate Saturday at a protest held in Santa Monica, California.

“After the worst time of COVID, after the largest, most deadly spike, downturns in death, my employer—a governing body—is deciding to mandate a rushed vaccine,” the firefighter said at the “No Vaccine Passport Rally.” “Not only that it will be mandated, but it’s a condition of my employment. We’ve gone from essential frontline worker to next on the chopping block.”

“Such times of uncertainty really forced me to really think and examine my surroundings,” he said. “The job that I love—the job that I poured my heart and soul into—is being threatened. Anything that gets put into my body is my choice. I refuse. I do not comply. I’ve thought long and hard about this and this has become my definitive line in the sand, and I know when I say this I’m not alone. There are many more that feel this way and they just might be scared or not know how to say it.”

“Please understand this is worth fighting for,” he added. “I won’t quit. I will not stop fighting. I’m willing to sacrifice everything—my beliefs, my moral fiber, my family, my livelihood, the country that I love. Everything I’ve ever worked for in my life is being threatened and that I will not sit idly by and take. I refuse.”

Stand up brothers and sisters. Our neighbor is a firefighter and he has had the shot but others in his department are against it and the IFFA is gonna have to honor their members or pound sand.

But Bill Gates put billions behind this push. What could go wrong? Anyone hear about eugenics?? It’s a big thing with Bill and he got it from his dad.

I think with vaccine mandates the Democrat/Communist/Left has reached the limit to their overreaching (the Left's big weakness which they inevitably do).

Even with the encouragement of millions upon millions of still irrationally frightened, irretrievably ignorant and breathtakingly cowardly American "men" and women, there are far, far too many Americans who will simply not get the vaccine not to have an enormous, even unsustainable, impact.

There are a lot of firefighters here in Maine who are up in arms about the state mandate imposed by our moonbat governor, Janet Mills (Demonrat).

There have been protests by firefighters, EMT’s, nurses, and other in the medical field.

A guy I know who is an EMT with a Maine fire department told me he will quit his job if he has to. He has three young kids. He doesn’t want the jab.

I think that everyone who does not want the shot, and those who have gotten the shot but support the right to choose, should just walk off the job and shut this nonsense down. Further, truckers, you should follow the example of the Aussie truckers. There are far more of us than there are of them. We can shut this country down. And we could also at the same time demand Cyber Ninja-style audits in each and every state as well.

That’s weird. You fire 150 people in an already understaffed field, and you’re having issues at work...

Not in my household. Stop blaming women for everything. There are plenty of irresponsible men in this country.

Tell him not to quit. File for a religious exemption.
If he gets fired, sue for civil rights discrimination.

Plenty of strong willed and sensible people from both sexes. But also, way too many hysterical women, and weak men.

Nobody is essential. Welcome to the world of the private sector.

First responders and ‘essentials’ not only didn’t have to comply with harsh lockdowns in Calif, they elbowed the seniors and nursing homes out of the way to get the first vaccinations. They should all be a) vaccinated or b) tested weekly.

The problem Californian workers have is they have is no leverage. We have 10 to 20 million illegal messicans that will take their jobs in a hot flash in a state that bends over backards to enable illegals to work.

“illegal messicans that will take their jobs in a hot flash”

With current laws....no green card,
no worky. Even in California. The
majority of illegals get paid under
the table. Lawn mowers, hotels/motels,
construction workers, food servers.
