In case anyone thought it might be over... the CMS mandate is still alive and kicking - at least according to one major medical center in Florida. Yes, Florida. I have spent the last month wrangling with them about an online, super secret, invasive questionnaire that they insist that I have to complete in order to be (even) considered for a religious exemption. Please pray/send good vibes as I continue to (cheerfully) push back on this.

Godspeed in your battle, and may you arrive victorious.

Many Thanks!, too, for standing up against this tyranny. When I was terminated, many colleagues asked "Why?" (didn't just take the jab? It's such a simple thing.) A: ''cause I value freedom more than this job. Those that are still in this fight have a tough battle ahead.

I have friends here in Seattle who still - in 2023!! - think the mandate was justified. I was terminated from my teaching position in Oct 2021, and not one of them is willing to say the policy was wrong. One of them even suggested I should forgive and move on.🤔

Uggh. So sorry to hear this. I find it hard to reason or even discuss these topics with ~1/2 of my personal network, as they've been tricked into abandoning the idea that objective truth even exists. thus, a policy being correct or not is based on how _they feel_ at the moment, not any objective look at the data or consideration of all possible outcomes (including the possibility that the policy under discussion is being pushed using fraudulent data).

Many thanks to you for your bravery and willingness to stand up for what you knew was right, despite the personal cost.

Indeed. They said he wore Prada, but it's clear he's switched designers ;)
