I know my company thought that far ahead. I was able to fairly easily obtain an exemption for myself and multiple co-workers. They really only required that you ask for one. And, while not a hospital or medical office, it is a pharmacy with direct patient care giving covid shots (which I also did not do). But there were pharmacists who DID give the shots who were exempted as well so…. While I know they only did so to prevent a shortage of pharmacists (which they certainly would have had if they had denied) I was eternally grateful to have been able to keep my job as there was no force on earth able to make me take that shot.

Broke radius messily Fri. a.m. Saw surgeon yesterday. Wrote, in shaky handwriting, w. signature: no allografts, no xenografts, only autografts, no mRNA products, no blood transfusion from any but husband. Said to P.A. these words: I would rather die than take Covid-jab-tainted blood.

We wanted to “bank blood” for our mom during the height of the vax insanity (because we did not want her to have tainted blood either). It was not going to be an easy process by any means! So for anyone concerned about transfusions, I would research well in advance of any planned surgery what you need to do! Thankfully, my mom chose not to have the surgery so it became a moot point.

Autologous donation was the way to go before an elective procedure even pre-jabs. Seems to be more resistance to that approach now; well, except for the ortho docs.

My husband refused the shot and banked his blood before his colon cancer surgery in 2021.

I second what Jeanne said re: researching this well in advance. We looked into banking my daughter's blood before an elective surgery, and it's a paperwork nightmare that has to be started months in advance.

If you push hard enough, and have a cooperative doc, it can be done in as little as 3 weeks. Contact your local blood bank directly for assistance! (Just don’t mention unvaxxed blood.) Everyone knows it’s safer to use you own…

This is alarming!

Yes, we figured it would happen since the medical community is taking vaxxed blood.

I would grieve for my beloved husband of 52 years, but I am confident of going to the Lord if (a minor) surgery should go awry.

I should have at least wished you a speedy recovery before I posted the doom news.

Yep; remember the baby who had extensive clotting after a transfusion?; parents were denied a directed transfusion. If anyone remembers the image, you could see the dilation of the superficial vessels on the chest and abdominal wall due to ‘rerouting’ of blood. 😢😡

Check out ProtocolKills.com website & substack of same name. From attorney Greta Crawford. Tons of info and tips to prepare yourself PRIOR to hospitalization.

Tragically, I believe the remdesivir protocols are still in place.

Also Dr Margaret Aranda has similar info on her substack.

I dislocated my shoulder just short of a year ago. I was scared to death, going to the ER and then to the Ortho afterwards. I did not want to do surgery and as it worked out, they agreed! Reasoning was, my shoulder was so bad from previous abuse, surgery wasn’t recommended.

I’m sure they would have done it if I had asked for it though, and that’s a problem.

You are the exception, unfortunately for the rest of the country or the world.

But I’m so happy for you and I’m sure your company is looking really smart now.

Aloha, Irunthis1! Can you share the name of your company? I’m an attorney representing employees fired for requesting a religious accommodation from the Covid vax. Generally the employer denied the accommodation on the basis of a purported undue hardship, that being the unvaxed were an alleged threat to others. But being able to tell the court that many companies- including those providing healthcare - granted accommodations can help to beat that dubious defense (indeed, even the CDC granted hundreds of accommodations and did not fire any of its employees who requested accommodations). If you’re comfortable doing so (I would not use your name, just the name of the company) feel free to email me at joegomesesq@gmail.com. Thank you in advance!

My husband was granted a religious exemption from the City of Milwaukee. Very grateful to Jeff to this day for helping lay out the format for us on this blog.

Consider using Conscientious Objector instead of Religious reasons. It indicates a thoughtful, rational decision to decline the vaccine. It would benefit those who don't have a religious belief.

I went with religious because of the stronger laws on the books in my state with regards to exemptions. I wanted to do a medical but so many doctors were just playing along and screwing it up for everyone who had legitimate medical concerns--e.g. telling people who clearly had a severe adverse event to get another dose or telling people with anaphylactic reactions they had to get one anyway---completely insane advice. So religious made more sense.

Curious which religion provides that exemption.

Well I’m catholic but there is plenty of doctrine out there that one can be a conscientious objector of something the church says is okay. Here is an example from a catholic organization of such a statement:
