I inquired asking if being tested weekly (which is being treated differently than anyone else) is grounds for a discrimination case against the business I work for. My lawyer wrote back and confirmed.
Hello,
You are correct that there is a lot of science to back up your position. Ultimately you are saying that the weekly swab is not a reasonable accomodation and you want to re-negotiate.
An employee offered no accommodation or that regards certain accommodations as unreasonable, can make a proposal of a ‘reasonable’ accommodation to HR. The EEOC expects a dialog and the employer is required to review other options and also provide Measurable, Quantifiable proof why accommodations proposed by the employee are not feasible (would cause undue hardship to the employer). A mere verbal claim of undue hardship is not sufficient.
Accommodations are something that is meant to be discussed and agreed upon between employee and employer and the EEOC expects a negotiation until both sides agree on what is reasonable. Otherwise, according to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Title VII, you are being discriminated against and have a legitimate legal claim against your employer
I still don't get this unvaccinated weekly testing alternative crap being put out. The "vaccine" does not prevent you from getting or spreading covid, and if it actually works as describes and lessens your symptoms then wouldn't you be even more likely to spread it since you might not even think you're sick? If anything, it makes more sense to do weekly tests on the vaccinated if you're worried about covid spread.
The weekly testing stick is to entice people to obtain a few jabs to avoid the "hassle" of weekly testing.
And weekly testing is also doing potential harm if the swabs are not made of cotton.
We can't even trust the swabs, darnit!
The swabs being coated with EO is a big problem if people are doing weekly testing.
What’s EO? I have a feeling once you tell me I’m going to have an “oh, duh” moment, but my brain is too tired right now to try and figure it out on my own.😬🤷🏼♀️
Ethylene Oxide.
Bad stuff
Safety data sheet for EO which the test swabs are soaked in https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2016-09/documents/ethylene-oxide.pdf
Thanks! Right after I asked you that I continued scrolling down and sure enough, someone further down in the comments mentioned EO and what it is. 🤦🏼♀️ You’d think after being on this site for so long I’d remember not to ask questions until I’m done reading everyone’s comments. 😬 Thanks again!

They need to do spit tests. The nasal thing is OUT, unless it’s just at the entrance...not way back. That’s such BS at this point.
At this point I would say no to the spit tests too. This madness has to end somehow.
If they swabs are contaminated with toxins I don’t think it matters how far it’s inserted. I’m not a scientist or medical professional. They have a gel like substance that bonds when it touches the membranes. (I hope I explained that correctly)

It's the most the anti-science shit there is.
It’s straight double think.
The great thing is people are waking up...there’s just too much to ignore now.
If people were waking up, we wouldn't be in this mess. The one thing that repeatedly keeps surprising me is how stupid humans are.
Some movie once said something along the lines of, "A person is smart, but people are dumb."
Robert Malone agrees with you. Loosely quoting him, he says, “the vaccinated are superspreaders.”
Yes.
the test gives you covid
And it's against osha's own rules.
Consent to medical surveillance
(3) A worker is not required to participate in a prescribed medical surveillance program unless the worker consents to do so. R.S.O. 1990, c. O.1, s. 28.
This is Canada's occupational health and safety act, not OSHA.

You are correct, I guess I have to find the OSHA equivalent.
TY ☝🏼
I told everyone awhile ago that the "religious exemption" was going to lead to religious discrimination.
We already have that
Swabs are most often sterilized with ethylene oxide (ETO or EO on the swab package)
According to the EPA, “Chronic (long-term) exposure to ethylene oxide in humans can cause irritation of the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs, and damage to the brain and nervous system. There also is some evidence linking ethylene oxide exposure to reproductive effects.”
Shoving the swab up your nose to a delicate part of your body every week I would consider chronic exposure. For what? A test that is inaccurate at best.
This type of sterilization is gas sterilization. The product, already packaged, is put into a vacuum chamber and a canister of ETO is punctured and allowed to evaporate into the chamber. It permeates through the packaging and sterilizes the product. Then a vacuum is drawn on the chamber to exhaust the ETO, which permeates back out of the packaging. Perfectly sterile product, later to be used inside the body (e.g., intraocular lenses). This was common practice over 40 years ago and no problems resulted. You are reacting out of ignorance. Things are not "dipped" in ETO. It has a boiling point of 50.7 deg F and room temperature will simply make it evaporate and leak away.
I worked in the prosthetics business and this was the best approach to producing a sterile prosthetic that would have no post-operative reactions. I also had a great appreciation for safety practices of the storable ETO canisters.
This by no means signifies that I endorse the swab. But objection to ETO is not a rational or practical objection. (It may be the only legitimate aspect of the swab.)
Forgive my distrust of the entire medical system and their protocols at this point, but everything should be suspect and questioned at this point, as far as medical practice is concerned.
I know im sounding like a tinfoil hat douche, but how do you KNOW for 100% fact ETO was not causing problems? From the intention of your above comment, it doesn’t sound like you were actually performing legitimate long term testing, were you?
Understand, I fully acknowledge you may be 100% correct. But until we come out of this dark age of lies and deception in the medical/healthcare world. I think we should be careful in pushing anything of current protocol as completely safe.
I actually worked with the stuff. I'm trying to tell you how it is used (in industry). It cannot persist if things are "dunked" in it. It evaporates. It doesn't have anything to do with the doctors; it has to do with the physics and chemistry and techniques of using it for a sterilant.
Can ETO "cause problems"? Duh. It is a STERILANT. By definition, it kills living cells. No one wants any of it to remain in a sterilized product, and it will not remain. Do you think water will remain in anything if the ambient temperature is 20 degrees above its boiling point? Same thing with ETO. There are other things worth worrying about. (You know the artificial lenses that are used for lens replacement surgery? Sterilized by ETO. A half century of no problems with the surgery.)
Hope you’re right👍
Thanks for the information. So there’s no residue of EO on the swab?
I don't see how. If room temperature is 20 degrees higher than the boiling point, it will not stay liquid. It would not stay liquid in its packaging. It would evaporate and pass through the package membrane. Being sterilized by ETO does not mean the product is dipped in ETO.
Thanks, fren, for the clarification.
Test weekly after religious exemption?
That is outrageous, egregious, preposterous!
They're doing this at our organization. Testing on demand and wearing an n95 mask at all times.🤬 In essence, punishing those who received their religious exemptions when they don't force the jabbed to test weekly. It's all discrimination. I don't have to do this as I am a permanent remote worker.
So your hospital system made different rules for IP, field and remote? Sounds like we have similar jobs as I work remotely in CM. My company has not issued any directives yet and still has it under review. There's a few pretty high up in my dept that are very against it. I've wondered if it's possible to just leave the remote staff alone.
Seems like exemptions are discrimination, period.
According to the FDA, the PCR tests do not test for Covid 19 since it has never been isolated. THe just check for the Flu virus and call it Covid 19! Just been lying about t for over a year!

I get why people want to go the religious exemption route. I understand we have to make a living. I don’t judge people’s choices when their choices are coerced. I myself have til Dec 8 to either get injected or file an exemption. Except I am perfectly healthy with a strong immune system; and my deeply-held religious belief is that my faith is between me and God and clergy is not necessary. (My employer requires a clergyman signature to file a religious exemption. However, getting a clergyman to legitimize my faith is against my religion.)
To me getting a religious exemption is still capitulation to totalitarianism. You are in practice accepting that someone has the right to dictate what you put on your body unless you stand on your head and beg for or convince them to “grant” you an exemption. My belief is that our right to make decisions about our bodies is inherent to being human. Free will is the soul and essence of humanity. To surrender your free will about your own body is to surrender a large part of your soul. Also you surrender ownership of your body to an entity that, to put it mildly, does not have your best interest at heart.
Do you have it I writing that your employer is requiring a clergyman to certify your faith?!
If so you are all set, that is extremely illegal and you will win easily. Still file for an exemption because religious reasons are the highest level of protection under federal law. Check out coffee and Covid.com for advice of the religious exemption route, you do not need to practice any particular faith, the EEOC actually has a lot of good title 7 info too.
I have my religious exemption statement written out and I think it’s good. It’s says my faith is between me and God and my deepest belief is that free will is the primary thing that makes us human. Without free will we are organisms responding to stimuli, so to be forced to take and injection I do not freely choose is an assault on my humanity. I’m writing more also, that that is the gist of it. It is the US Navy that is requiring the clergy signature. The company is a contractor. I am the only human member of my “church” so I’d have to act as clergy and sign the statement. But, as you say, it is not legal for them to ask for that. The US Constitution does not say we need any authority to legitimize our religion.
You don't ask permission for a religious exemption, you declare it. It's clear under the Civil Rights Act that you can do this.
You can also file for religious exemption against the test as well.
And its discriminatory. It's a complete load of crap given that the CDC's stated themselves that the vaccine does nothing to prevent or even reduce the spread of COVID. It's a purely punitive measure designed to punish you and manipulate the statistics saying "all the unvaxed are getting covid, because thats who is being forced to take the test and is getting false positives". The tests will only be used against you and to spread more fear.
X22 said if needed get the religious exemption. If they trample your rights, they will have to deal with civil or class action law suits.
Is this only in cases where religious exemption has been accepted? I am currently fighting this exact thing and have not gone religious exemption route yet.
Wonder how that works in other countries. I'm in Canada and dealing with this shit.
Much appreciated.
Go. Whole Foods… they are bastards and will pile you with harassment
Where I am being tested weekly is a government demand.
So far though my bosses only need a picture of a test to let me work for another week.
I'll need to take a big batch of new pictures soon because I'm running out of my original batch!
Testing is not reliable either way, since thePCR test can’t differentiate between colds, flu or Covid.
ThankQ Anon🙌🙌🙌 Helpful. How do you go about searching for a lawyer to help?
If re-negotiating, request the medical plan providing you ivermectin to protect yourself and others from you getting sick.
Some are doing testing for all, jabbed and pure alike. Hard to claim discrimination there, alas.
There is usually some difference like once per week vs twice.
So what would be the "reasonable accommodations" they are looking for?
Some companies test you for drugs weekly. Make sure you're not on the mary jane..now they want to test weekly to make sure you ARE on some sort of drug. Clown world for sure.
