Hello Team,
We recently received word from the client that (company) will soon need to attest to the COIVD-19 vaccination status of our employees on the contract.
The client requests that all employees on this contract be fully vaccinated by November 22, 2021.
At this time, I just wanted to notify you that we received this communication. I will be reaching out to our employees in the following weeks as more information is provided to us.
I know some of you may have some questions or concerns. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I am more than happy to discuss your questions and concerns.
If you are not yet vaccinated, below is a timeline that (client) provided to meet their vaccination deadline according to the type of vaccine.
• The Pfizer-BioNTech/COMIRNATY COVID-19 vaccine is approved by the FDA and is the only mandatory COVID-19 vaccine. Individuals should get their second shot 3 weeks (or 21 days) after the first. This means that in order for Federal employees to meet a November 22 deadline, they should receive their first vaccination no later than October 18, and their second dose no later than November 8.
• The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, is authorized for voluntary use. Individuals should get their second shot 4 weeks (or 28 days) after their first. This means that in order for Federal employees to meet a November 22 deadline, they should receive their first vaccination dose no later than October 11, and their second dose no later than November 8.
• The Johnson & Johnson/Janssen (J&J) COVID-19 vaccine is also authorized for voluntary use. Because J&J only has one shot, Federal employees must get that dose by November 8, in order to meet a November 22 deadline to be fully vaccinated.
• If using vaccines on the World Health Organization (WHO) Emergency Use Listing (EUL) or approved for use in a clinical trial, ensure adequate time is allotted for the respective dosing protocols to meet the 22 November suspense.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has found the available COVID vaccinations are safe and extremely effective in precluding most infections and in minimizing the severity of the few breakthrough infections.
I copied the link and pasted it in my notes but you’re right, it’s probably best to print it off so I have it and it doesn’t magically disappear.
Also putting the info about the EO in my questions. Thanks again for the info, Fren!
I added another thought to the reply. I will add the link to the Federal register.
It looks like it is there...

This involves federal contractors - not the supposed EO that was never written that mandates companies with 100 or more workers. The key language in these "mandates" is the phrase, "...shall, to the extent permitted by law,..." Here is the point - unless these things are challenged for the reasons I already previously stated, they are going to continue to get away with pulling off this clearly illegal action. It is against the law to force or coerce anyone to subject themselves to medical experimentation. More people need to be calling out the fact that the jabs that are available in the US are NOT FDA approved. The whole sham is a bait and switch and employees need to start making this fact known. By getting the word out we can shift the tide. The status of the available jabs has not changed. If a person is injured or dies, the manufacturers or the Federal government basically has no liability.
I think there is still a case to me made for holding employers responsible and make them accept liability. I person does not necessarily need to refuse - they can have conditional acceptance. Which means, the employer first must provide certain things like safety data, for you to accept. There have been several posts in the last couple of weeks on how to do this.
Frankly, most companies are going to just knuckle under rather than stand their ground. No EO can legally mandate experimental medical treatment. If however, employees start filing lawsuits and seeking injunctions, nothing will change. This is why the cabal decided to twist the arms of the private sector. Companies are afraid of just the threat of fines that may or may not even exist. Often just the threat of having the Feds crawl up your asteroids with a microscope is enough. This is a tough situation and it will be a long and hard fought battle ahead. But, if we do not push back, they are going to kill all of us. There are other class action suits out there - see if any of them fit or get some people and start one. Do not take this jab to save your job. Your life is not worth it. We have no idea about the long term damage if someone manages to survive the initial onslaught. Good luck fren.
I love this place! Thank you Mac, I really appreciate it!
You are most welcome. This whole thing has been one big con. They are allowing all the employers to do their dirty work and legally left holding the bag. The government and the drug companies are in the clear. They are not responsible for an entity not exercising their due diligence on what the applicable laws are. You would think that lawyers that work for these clients would be smarter than they are. I only studied law, never graduated, and I know this. The lawsuits could very well completely crash us. Part of their plan I am sure.
Absolutely one big con. That’s why either way, I won’t get the jab. I might lose my job but I have come to peace with it. I feel eventually, after we are through all of this, it will open other doors and allow me to take a different direction. Try to find a way to become more self sufficient.
