I am not submitting an exemption. I don't need their approval to assert my rights over my own body. I will find out what they will do one Nov 8th. The deadline for fed DoD employees is Nov 22 to be fully GMO'd. My answer will be simple. "No thank you". Whatever happens will happen.
Requesting their approval is precisely your mistake. Your civil rights are a declaration, not a request.
I, NAME, declare religious exemption from the Covid-19 vaccination mandate. Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, I attest to having sincerely held religious beliefs which will not permit me to abide by this mandate. Additionally, I am not willing to describe these personal religious beliefs for the reasonable fear that if others have knowledge of them it will engender discrimination against my and/or my family. I am aware that reasonable accommodations may have to be made regarding this declaration of religious exemption, and I am willing to discuss accommodations that would be reasonable and necessary in order to come to an agreement. Finally, I expect this letter to remain confidential, and its contents to be disclosed only to those for whom there is an express need.
I won't sue. I don't think much of lawyers and don't willingly use them for anything that I don't have to. I've been preparing for something like this for a while. My issue with the vax isn't based much on my religious beliefs. My issue is reason, logic, science and Human Rights. I fully support those with religious reasons, but I refuse to play their game at all. I'm too old and too stubborn to participate in their stupid games.
Good that you are that close to retirement. Unfortunately I still have to work for another 13-15 years before I can retire. I'll end up getting my GC and electricians license. That will carry me for the last decade or so of work

I cant help but to believe that this will be tied up in the legal system for years if it gets that far.
Yep I'm doing the same thing as well.
Same here, but my deadline is 12/8. Luckily I can take early retirement by using the "rule of 55" for this 401(k), then draw from IRAs after 59.5.
