My organization stated in a management meeting that they would not even bother looking at the exemptions. Dumb azzes never thought there were managers in that meeting with exemptions in the system. They did it on a recorded online meeting. Needless to say that recording got deleted in 10 days. Some organizations it’s better to do nothing than follow their rules and self identify as someone in opposition to whatever is being required or discussed.

You have to go through a humiliating procedure where people tell you they know about your religious believes more than you do and if you punch them in the face they don’t approve your waiver request.

There is no exemption for I don’t want to be part of this.

If you want to believe the Daily Caller go ahead.

Tgey didn’t apply for an exemption because there is none

Do you actually believe there’s any kind of medical exemption? There isn’t. There is no doctor saying this person is exempt.

You think there’s a medical exemption for tge military? The healthiest people on the planet? Tgat some military doctor is going to write?

The Daily Caller doesn’t even think so. They lie.

You think the military is going to let some guy claim religious exemption that hasn’t been in a church once in his life or once since the last wedding he went to, and they can and will prove it, because they’ve been ordered to vax everyone up to now long after years after Covid is a problem

There is no exemption for which to apply.

You are wrong and the Daily Caller is wrong and so is anyone pretending these people had or have any choice. They don’t.

There were no exemptions for military. Even daily mass going Catholics were getting denied. That is a fact.

What military member is sick enough to get an exemption who is fit enough for deployment?

None

What military doctor was going to claim exemption for a patient?

None

What illness gets exempted. Th

The ignorance is outrageous

This is why people think you’re a dumb Canadian.

Ever think some didn’t HAVE a medical a religious or medical exemption - they just didn’t want unknown or possibly *evil shit through their veins?

Just punch Alberta's Child in the face for, once again, making a Canadian ass of himself.

WAS it a lawful order? DID they disobey it?

The “vaccine they were ordered to take, doesn’t actually exist in the US, but our military attempted to pass off a relabeled concoction as the one they were supposed to take.

Because this experimental gene therapy has been proven to be a deadly and ineffective, variant producing, illness generating political tool, wouldn’t it be more to the credit of those declining shots?

These soldiers had the character and foresight to protect themselves and the health and readiness of the armed forces. They should be celebrated.

IDK why anyone would join the military when the chain of command is so screwed up.

I don’t know what kind of organization you work for, but that is the exact opposite of what I’ve seen here on FR. At least 90% of the Freepers I know who requested medical or religious exemptions from their employers’ vaccine mandates were successful — no questions asked. In fact, most of these employers (as I suspected) were so afraid of losing key employees that they would have accepted ANY half-assed “religious” statement as a legitimate reason to grant an exemption.

You are wrong and the Daily Caller is wrong and so is anyone pretending these people had or have any choice. They don’t.

This has nothing to do with me and nothing to do with the Daily Caller. They are just reporting on what is happening with this particular group of Congressmen. For the second time — READ THE ARTICLE …

The military is considering discharging servicemembers who did not seek a medical or religious exemption to the COVID-19 vaccine and received adverse actions to their military records, according to a letter to Republican Reps. Jim Banks of Indiana and Mike Rogers of Alabama viewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation and testimony provided to Congress on Tuesday.

You can divide the military personnel into three groups:

1. Those who took the vaccine
2. Those who refused to take the vaccine and applied for religious or medical exemptions
3. Those who refused to take the vaccine and DID NOT apply for religious or medical exemptions.

The letter referenced in the Daily Caller only related to Group #3. Nobody at the Daily Caller has said anything about whether these people had any chance in hell of getting their exemption request approved. Neither have I. Nothing I’ve said here has any relevance to whether the requests would have been approved. But from a LEGAL standpoint, Group #2 is in a much stronger position than Group #3 when it comes to forcing the government’s hand in restoring positions and rank, recovering lost income, etc.

I’m self-employed, but I told my clients who imposed their own stupid mandates the same thing.

You are correct. Most companies went hard on mandates at first then backed off and granted the exemption. Some went in hard and then went silent in a wait and see. My employer did the second but I had other companies offer me an open invitation with an understanding that my exemption would be honored if I chose to make a move. Current status is the entire thing just died without it being brought up or being enforced. Still a BS event to try to force the world to get an experimental treatment. The entire thing was just very Orwellian as it occurred.
