It's sad that the lawsuits for all affected over the mandates have taken so long and the damage has already been done. I pray for the Military and hope this gets settled soon. I am one that has now lost my job due to the mandate. United Healthcare has instituted a COVID policy of which most staff are required to get the jab, stating the shot is safe and effective. Man I hope this comes back to bite them in the you know what. I applied for a religious exemption and was denied because my "business unit" decided that no remote work would be given. They didn't want to set PRECEDENCE! Being let go, not for job performance but because of a shot. In my opinion, is dangerous, I can't believe that people just lined up to get it. Crazy world we live in.

I work for a large Govt Dept and we got an email yesterday about boosters: basically, "don't forget to get your boosters! It's the "best way out" of this problem ...."" (didn't explain HOW, but, whatever...) and crucially, the email said "We are not requiring proof of your boosters shots at this time." Yep. Boosters are coming. And three million Federal workers will become "unvaxxed" overnight. And how are they going to claim an exemption when they already got the first ones? It will be so much harder. (Sukkas!)

Do you know Vaccine Happy Vermont only has 45% overall booster uptake? And even 30% of people over 65 are apparently "not interested" in the boosters? If they add boosters to these idiotic mandates, they will only increase the numbers of the permanent "vaccine hesitant."

My Dept still has not told anyone (about 20,000 people) if we are getting our religious accommodations approved or not. Or even told us when it might happen. I have to spend Christmas wondering if I'll be fired or what. Such horrible cowards they are! But I'm fine to get fired; I've made peace with it and I'll be happy to find a "normal" job and tell everyone exactly what happened. And file a lawsuit of course.
