Yes, I understand the long game and how we got here. My thought was only short-term thinking when my wife found out about the "mandate". My company will likely balk at the directive and probably toss a middle finger in for good measure. Hers will not and she knows if she loses her job, we go into financial stress. That was all.
In this game, there are always options. Here is a good method for putting the ball back in their court.
A good tactic is to NOT outright refuse the jab, but to get informed consent. You have a right to do this, and the boss will be supportive of this. Some one wrote the following, but I edited it and personalized it. I think it is a good starting point to work from. One should tweak it and personalize it for your situation:
Inquiry for Fulfilling 'Need to Know' and Informed Consent
Dear Manager:
‘With regard to the company's new policy of mandatory covid injection, it is my desire to exercise the provision therein the Emergency Authorization Act to be fully informed and appraised of ALL of the risks before making my decision.
I’d be most grateful if the following information could be provide to me, in accordance with statutory legal requirements:
Keep on asking more questions and force management to answer your questions. If enough people do this at your work, they may back down. At the same time, there is NO LAW mandating vaxxinations in any State of the Union. There is however, for children attending school. However depending on the State, there are religious and/or personal belief exemptions. Only CA, NY, MS, and WV do not allow for religious and personal belief exemptions. Again, this applies to children in school. There is NO LAW mandating vaccines for adults. A company does not have any rights in making law. This role is reserve only for the legislature. A company cannot make policy that is not lawful. If there is no law, it is unlawful to compel its workers to violate their belief.
The next step is telling the employer you are waiting for the FDA approved Cominraty vaccine to become available in the USA. I will not be taking ANY "EUA" Emergency Use Authorization vaccines". Which is ALL of them currently.
The last step would be to declare your religious belief. Just name the religious belief law in your State for school vaxx exemptions. Here is a source for finding your State law.
Also, know that you are being coerced.
This is about refusing to be coerced into an medical procedure. Furthermore, this is about refusing to be coerced into an EXPERIMENTAL medical procedure.
There are laws against coercion.
Finally, I find the following intriguing.
respond to her employer and inform them that mandatory vaccines as well as mandatory covid testing are in direct violation of The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-110publ233/pdf/PLAW-110publ233.pdf The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (Pub.L. 110–233 (text) ( pdf), 122 Stat. 881, enacted May 21, 2008, GINA /ˈdʒiː.nə/ JEE-nə), is an Act of Congress in the United States designed to prohibit some types of genetic discrimination. The act bars the use of genetic information in health insurance and employment: it prohibits group health plans and health insurers from denying coverage to a healthy individual or charging that person higher premiums based solely on a genetic predisposition to developing a disease in the future, and it bars employers from using individuals' genetic information when making hiring, firing, job placement, or promotion decision
Wow this is very helpful!
