Everyone I know who put in an exemption religious or medical were approved without issue. I guess some other orgs are making it more difficult for some.

No one gives two sh11ts about your phony antivaxx exemption. Stay home, become irrelevant, get laid off. Leave running the business behind to those that possess more than half of a brain.

HR must be taking lessons from the board of directors. As it stands if they let me stay that’s okay. If they force me out that okay too. I have a valid medical reason and all those who got a vaccine should be thankful. It’s people like me that proved a vaccine as safe or not.

First off, we don’t HERE anything from anybody the CORRECT WORD IS HEAR*

Secondly , you have a disturbing fascination with the word whine . Clearly obsessed with it , I’d think you’d want to ask the words’ hand in marriage! Up your vocabulary and your spelling.

Sorry to break your heart this morning BUT, I received my approval letter last night for my exemption from JA. It is now moved on to my manager . Those of you who are still waiting be ENCOURAGED! The OP that posted on another post about HR not getting back to union members with approvals until NOVEMBER was spot on! The Op also noted that they were NOT waiting on denials so if you did not get a denial , know that that is a Great sign! Keeping those still waiting in thoughts and prayers!

I guess it saves the pension plan some!

Yes, and the next year that allows T to reduce its pending funding contribution, which translates to higher profits!

Stank man and his buddies get bonuses, while anti vaxxers get 8 get under. You sure showed them!

Name some . Are you going off what the tv says as far as actual doctors ? What about Immunologists . Pathologists ? Biologists ? Names please . And outside of your own personal primary care doctor please and thank you (Gupta doesn’t count either ) for the record there are actual , nameable doctors with specialties in immunizations and biology that ARE ADVISING AGAINST the shots . There are those of us that are choosing to believe THOSE doctors

A German member of the European Parliament declared to colleagues she would rather be jailed than receive a COVID-19 vaccine, arguing she is a free person, the shots have not been properly tested, and no one should take the word of any government at face value.

"I will not be vaccinated with anything that has not been properly vetted and tested and has shown no sound scientific evidence that the benefits outweigh the disease itself and possible long-term side effects, which to this day we don't know anything about," said Christine Anderson of Germany's conservative AfD party on Thursday from the floor of parliament in Brussels, Belgium.

"I will not be reduced to a mere guinea pig by being vaccinated with an experimental dr-g," she said.

"And I will most assuredly not get vaccinated because my goverment tells me to and promises in return I will be granted freedom.

Thank goodness the dregs of our org - which remained due to incompetent management - were finally purged by the vax mandate. Sadly (I guess), one of them was three days away from retirement and died of covid. I guess it saves the pension plan some!

@1vaa+1dzzWV4C The Vax contains fetus cells from abortions and the basis for our exemption. This is an untruth. Try again.

The truth is the COVID-19 vaccines do not contain any aborted fetal cells. However, fetal cell lines – cells grown in a laboratory based on aborted fetal cells collected generations ago – were used in testing during research and development of the mRNA vaccines, and during production of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

The cell lines used for testing are so far removed for the original fetal tissue (obtained decades ago), it's amusing that people use this as an excuse. Even the Catholic church, the pope have condoned it's use as morally acceptable. You may read the full text here.

For the record, a specific religion in itself, is a preferred choice in how a person chooses to serve God... it however is NOT a dictator of the actual PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP and beliefs a person has...

Scripture holds precedence over ANY HUMAN interpretation of a religious leader. THAT BEING SAID, scripture says to "obey GOD RATHER THAN MEN", an that includes religious leader opinions. Scripture also states your "body is your temple" and you were "bought with a price" keep it pure!
mRna code reprogramming goes against keeping your temple pure and clean in itself. It changes the man that was made in God's image. So, here is your answer.

“Get the friggin shot you whiney scaredy cats.

Even your Lord and Savior got the thing so you have no excuse if you are a True Believer in the Great Donald in the Sky.

Scratch that - don't get the vaccine. That way, the likelihood of you or your family contracting Covid and dying becomes possible and the fewer of you morans that populate the planet the better for the rest of us.

CLEARLY YOU DIDNT SEE THE STUDY*** vaccinated is infecting their families EXACTLY the same as I vaxxed

Vaccinated just as likely to spread delta variant within household as unvaccinated: study

I did get my religious exemption as did my friends. We are Managers that WFH. The exemption is a Job accommodation and is valid for the Biden mandate for federal contracts. However it was only approved for 6 months so who knows what will happen after they expire. The Vax contains fetus cells from abortions and the basis for our exemption.
