Working from home doesn’t help, I don’ think. Our entire company has been WFM since this started. We were all told, ya better get it or else.

Actually...

6.A. Do unvaccinated employees who work remotely need to submit to weekly COVID-19 testing?

No. The requirements of the standard do not apply to the employees of covered employers who do not report to a workplace where other individuals such as coworkers or customers are present or while working from home. This includes the testing requirements of paragraph (g) of the ETS.

That's the current OSHA rule. Subject to change on their whim.

Of course, that doesn't preclude a company from "mandating" a vaccine for those who work from home anyway.

2 years ago, such a thing would be exceedingly rare. It would artificially restrict the pool of workers, unnecessarily. It just wouldn't be good for business.

Now...

well, let's just say that covid hysteria has taken over and things are just a bit different.

Thank you for posting that link. In there I found a sub-link on religious objections. Here, near the bottom:

https://www.eeoc.gov/wysk/what-you-should-know-about-covid-19-and-ada-rehabilitation-act-and-other-eeo-laws#L

It pretty much says “Does an employer have to accept an employee’s assertion of a religious objection to a COVID-19 vaccination at face value?” - “Generally, under Title VII, an employer should assume that a request for religious accommodation is based on sincerely held religious beliefs.”

Of course, all of this really only applies to the government, and private companies may decide as they wish, including termination. But it does give guidance on what one should expect.

Here in Washington state even a private consultant can’t work on any state projects even from home. (Say reviewing design plans for a bridge). Or do any work (from home) for King County (Seattle area) projects.
