You're Heroes! We're with you.
We believe you wil be the healthcare force of the future. You will come back. Your decision of being non-vaccinated proves your maturity and responsibility. If you're responsible for yourself you're in a better position to be responsible for the others too. The other way it doesn't work.
We all hope that the tides will turn and you will have big come back.
At this stage the following are important:
-
Take care about your status. Collect all proofs why you're getting fired so you can prove discrimination in the court in the future.
-
Make notes about all fraudulent and criminal activities you've witnessed at work. In months time you can forget the details, so make notes, facts, dates, names, everything that can be verified in the future based on the medical records. You just need to note what you may need to refer to in the future. Believe me: you will forget 90% of the details. Note them! Patient name or number, date of treatment, what was incorrectly handled. You will be a witnesses when the time will come.
-
Make sure you've got contacts to all your fired co-workers. Don't be left alone. Once they cut your employment and prohibit to come the place of work you may find it difficult to find the others. Buy old fashioned contact book. Don't wait, do it now.
-
Using the contacts above - setup communication tools that will make easier to act as a group. You can share legal fees (even at better rates) when you act as a group. You can also communicate better to plan next legal moves. If you act a group you've got better (network) access to any help you may need.
-
Prepare your testimony to share with people around the world. They have the same problem as you do. If you don't have the courage yet - make notes, you will use it later. You will be stronger once you see the support from other people.
-
Don't sign any papers if you're given. They had enough time to prepare it. You haven't! They're in a better possition if they give you long, unknown document. You can miss something important that can potentially block your opinions and moves in the future. Reject to sign, but get the copy signed by them to review/read. Use maximum time allowed to wait to review it with the lawyers. Sometimes it's better not to sign anything than to sign the document that gives you 2x your monthly salary. You can potentially sue them for more, court can force them to pay you for the whole duration of a legal battle as if you were employed, you can also have your job back when the time comes. Once they're fired - you can get promoted too.
-
Build alliances. Contact America frontline doctors, doctors - whistleblowers, etc.

See comment below regarding EEOC account and a claim for employment discrimination (instructed by Liberty Counsel).
UPDATE: To everyone who contribute in comments - I will keep updating the text to make it useful for those who may need it. Thank you for your ideas! It's all we can do know, but we have many different skills here to share and support those who are in this battle with us. We are in this together!
Just a heads up. If you do get fired, you will need to create an account with the EEOC and file a claim for employment discrimination. You will have to have an interview with the EEOC local office of your area (only doing phone calls right now). Right now interviews are about a month out. If you plan on seeking legal help this step will need to be done first (as per many legal websites. I was instructed by Liberty Counsel to do this). Most states have a max 180 days from the time of termination to file a lawsuit (some states the max is sooner). So basically, if you get officially fired, get started on the legal stuff sooner than later. There is going to be a long wait.
