Last week my company announced vaccine mandate with full vaccination required by 10/4/21 (or you will be terminated). My office staff participated in #walkoutwednesday this week (Along with a few hundred other people across our company) and this evening the local news reported that my employer, a large healthcare network in the region, has “added another exemption” and extended the deadline for employees to get fully vaccinated. The added exemption is an antibody test showing COVID antibodies. So, I realize this isn’t what we want yet, but a small amount of protesting has yielded a small amount of change and now they’ve given us more time to really ramp up the pressure! Since most of the network is already short staffed I can’t imagine they can easily fire all the dissenters. And people are really ready to lose their jobs over this!
I also would add — don’t assume your large employer has their legal ducks in a row over this because my company (15,000 employees) has embarrassed themselves more than once by rolling out things that had to be retracted due to legal issues. Use the resources on GAW to put up a hell of a battle.
Stick together and fight!!
FYI - if you get an antibody test, that data goes straight to the medical records compilation database - which also tags you as being "high risk" as if you'd possibly "been infected." A friend of mine just went through all this last week. BEWARE of getting ANY personal info about your "COVID status" entered into your medical records. Once your name gets in there, it's forever.
I agree. Stay off databases.
ALWAYS, and in ALL-WAYS.
I went through a lost passport thing ( thanks USPS ) and got listed by Interpol etc.
Trust me.
You *DO NOT WANT to be listed on any database.
Same idea with guns. Also anybody who gets their medicinal mj card”—->database.
Interesting note... I know someone in the medical field that got really sick from the first of Gene Therapy shot. They refused the 2nd. He were interested it being tested for the c19 antibodies.
They had to travel to another city 1.5 hours away to go to one of the few labs that would do the test on a vaxxed person. Me on the other hand can go any lab to have this test (not gonna do it, but I still asked the question )
Why?
That's right, a positive antibody test used to mean that you were immune. In clown world it means that you are infected.
