Goodbye Carhart
Yep. I think we have some emails to send. Then switch to Duluth Trading Company. As far as I know they’re alright.
Walls Boi. I'm sitting in a set if there coveralls rn.
...memo to Mark, u just killed carhart, nice job !
https://workwearcommand.com/carhartt-alternatives/
Thanks! This link introduced me to roundhouse, and I’ve been looking for American made jeans
I just called Carhartt and spoke to a rep... who clearly was from India and was nearly impossible to understand.. i have no idea what she was saying... which is a horseshit way to communicate with customers in the USA. I told her that we customers speak with our dollars and that if they do push that... we'll find other companies to support. if anyone else can call and get an agent that speaks English, please report back to us.... we don't want to punish a company that does not deserve it....
I modified the questions from https://greatawakening.win/p/13zMZUJALE/15-pages-of-questions-to-ask-you/
-- (I originally sent this to Home Depot)
My son came home with a paper stating that you will start discriminating against those who have decided not to participate in an experimental vaccine trial (for sickness with a 99.94% survival rate). For one, we already had covid, so injecting ourselves with a "vaccine" that programs your body to produce the spike protein that we are now naturally vaccinated against is what will cause antibody-dependent enhancement where your body will, quite literally, fight against itself.
After taking the vaccine, we know at least eight people who have died and many people who have mysterious illnesses. Our aunt has tremors like Parkinson's' Disease, and our pastor has Bell's Palsey. My father had emergency blood clot surgery a couple of days after his shot. My mother has a strange lump on her abdomen. My grandmother has dementia, just to name a few. Half of those who died "of covid" were 100% healthy. Everyone I know who has died "from Covid" was people who have taken these so-called Vaccines. Everyone else we know who is 'unvaccinated' and had Covid survived.
Please answer these questions for me.
1: When does Carhartt anticipate that the FDA-approved Comirnaty will be available in the United States?
2: Is Carhartt aware that Pfizer, Moderna, and Jansen are only authorized under Emergency Use Authorization (Not FDA approved)? Only Comirnaty has FDA approval, but it is not available in the United States. The FDA found Comirnaty was a legally distinct product and not the same as the Pfizer vaccine. Does this mean these pharmaceutical companies still have immunity from liability for adverse reactions?
3: Is Carhartt willing to wait until phase 3 testing is complete so its employees can access the necessary data and analysis to make an informed decision on these vaccines?
NPR reported that both Pfizer and Moderna tainted their phase II studies by contacting the placebo groups and advising the participants that they had taken a placebo. In light of this revelation, does Carhartt still trust any results published by these entities from their phase II studies?
4: The CDC, the FDA, and the White House recently announced that they would not require the vaccines for its employees. Because the CDC and its employees have intimate knowledge of any short-comings or adverse events associated with the vaccines, and because the CDC was recently sued in federal court in Alabama citing a whistleblower who stated that the CDC is hiding 45,000 or more deaths from the VAERS system, is Carhartt willing wait to see if the allegations in the federal lawsuit can be substantiated?
5: Recent studies have shown that people who contracted Covid and acquired natural immunity are 1300% more protected than those who received vaccines. If employees subjected themselves to antibody tests or T-Cell tests and proved they had natural immunity, would Carhartt waive any vaccine requirements? If not, why not?
6: Recent data also shows that adverse vaccine effects occur 2-4x more often in those with natural immunity. If Carhartt has any studies to the contrary, please provide those to employees for review.
7: What is Carhartt's response to employees' concerns who have had family members take vaccines and have suffered severe adverse effects?
8: On Wednesday, July 21, 2021, the CDC initiated a Phase I recall of the use of PCR testing. The PCR tests were unreliable and reported a high number of false positives, and failed to distinguish between Covid and the flu. Is Carhartt currently using PCR tests? If so, what is the cycle threshold of the PCR test used by Carhartt to determine if a patient or employee is Covid positive? When does Carhartt plan to phase out PCR tests? What does Carhartt intend to use as a replacement for PCR testing?
9: The Director of the CDC, Rochelle Walinsky, recently admitted in a CNN interview by Wolfe Blitzer that the vaccines do not prevent Covid 19, nor does it stop the vaccinated person from transmitting the infection. The only benefit touted is a reduction in symptoms for the vaccinated person. If Ms. Walinsky and the CDC are correct, there can be no benefit to any party other than the vaccinated person. If this is the case, why would Carhartt have any interest in the vaccine status of its employees?
10: Would Carhartt be willing to assign doctors to staff who get vaccinated to ensure proper monitoring and testing for adverse events that occur after vaccination?
11: Would those doctors assigned to monitor Carhartt employees who have vaccinated issue D-Dimer tests within ten days of vaccination of its employees to check for blood clots? It is worth noting that Dr. Hoffe (in Canada) performed D-Dimer tests in his vaccinated patients and found that over 60% of them had blood clotting issues.
12: OSHA recently revised its rulings to allow employees mandated to get vaccinated as part of their employment to sue their employers for any adverse reactions. In light of this ruling:
Does Carhartt's employee health insurance plan provide complete coverage should an employee experience an adverse event, or even death?
13: Does Carhartt's life insurance policy provide any coverage if an employee dies from receiving a EUA Covid-19 injection?
14: Will Carhartt be providing Workers' Compensation, disability insurance, or other resources if an employee has an adverse event to a EUA Covid-19 injection and cannot come to work for days, weeks, or months, or is disabled for life?
15: The pharmaceutical companies lobbied and contracted for complete immunity if a vaccine causes injury or death. The vaccines available to the public at this time are still under EUA (not FDA approved) and, accordingly, still provide immunity to the producers of these vaccines. Anyone injured by these vaccines has no financial recourse. If an employee of Carhartt suffers injury due to an adverse reaction to a work-mandated vaccine, will Carhartt waive its defense of assumption of risk in any litigation involving such injury? Or, will Carhartt insist that its employees should have known the dangers in getting a vaccine under emergency use authorization?
16: As Carhartt is aware, Congress granted immunity to manufacturers of the vaccines currently under Emergency Use Authorization. Because citizens injured by these vaccines have no legal recourse against the manufacturer, will Carhartt agree to help employees injured by these vaccines in any way, either through financial means or through free health care?
17: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that EUA vaccine recipients be provided with certain vaccine-specific information to help them make an informed decision about vaccination. The EUA fact sheets that must be provided are specific to each authorized Covid-19 injection and are developed by the manufacturers of the injections (Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, Oxford/AstraZeneca, and the Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Janssen). The fact sheets must provide the most current and up-to-date information on the injections, and vaccine recipients must also receive information about adverse events. Does Carhartt intend to provide its employees with these fact sheets and current information on adverse events if you require vaccinations?
18: Is Carhartt clinical leadership actively monitoring the available databases of material adverse events reported to date for people who have received Covid-19 vaccine injections (VAERS and others)? Potential and reported adverse events include death, anaphylaxis, neurological disorders, autoimmune disorders, other long-term chronic diseases, blindness and deafness, infertility, fetal damage, blood clots, myocarditis, miscarriage, and stillbirth. What is the threshold in reported cases for each following before Carhartt would stop advising its employees to take the vaccines?
Death ______ Anaphylaxis ______ Neurological Disorders ______ Miscarriages ______
19: The FDA's guidance on emergency use authorization of medical products requires the FDA to "ensure that recipients are informed to the extent practicable given the applicable circumstances... [t]hat they have the option to accept or refuse the EUA product...." Will this option be available to employees of Carhartt?
20: The Americans with Disabilities Act provides three legally protected avenues to employees who seek to refuse vaccines. Those avenues include medical exemptions, religious exemptions, and conscientious objections. Will Carhartt allow for these three exemptions if it chooses to require vaccines, and will Carhartt provide a copy of your policy on these allowed exemptions?
21: Concerning the emergency use of an unapproved product, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, Title 21 USC 360bbb-3(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I-III) reiterate that individuals be informed of "the option to accept or refuse administration of the product, [and] of the consequences, if any, of refusing administration of the product, and of the alternatives to the product that is available and of their benefits and risks." Please provide the written policy of Carhartt that would explain its authority to mandate vaccines that are still under a EUA in light of the above-referenced act.
22: Under the Nuremberg Code—the foundation of ethical medicine—no one may be coerced to participate in a medical experiment. The individual's consent is essential. No court has ever upheld a federal mandate for a EUA vaccine. In Doe #1 v. Rumsfeld, 297 F. Supp. 2d 119 (2003), a federal court held that the US military could not mandate EUA vaccines for soldiers: "...[T]he United States cannot demand that members of the armed forces also serve as guinea pigs for experimental drugs" (Id. at 135). If Carhartt intends to deviate from the principles established in the Nuremberg Code and Rumsfeld, will it provide a copy of its policy that justifies this deviation?
23: Since the Covid lockdowns began over one year ago, over 178 reported breaches of unsecured protected health information (PHI), incidents investigated by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR). These breaches exposed millions of people's personal health information. Some of the breaches to PHI fell directly under the 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), such as sharing a patent's or person's information with an unauthorized individual or incorrectly handling PHI. Can you please explain Carhartt's obligations to its employees, under HIPAA law, and how you will protect their personal information? Has Carhartt requested vaccination status from the state reporting agency, and what if any, information have they provided Carhartt?
24: Article 3.2 (Human Dignity and Human Rights) of the United Nations Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights states: "The interest and welfare of the individual should have priority over the sole interest of science or society" see https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000146180
We have heard several statements (written and spoken) by our leadership implying that societal needs outweigh the individual's rights. In light of these statements conflicting with Art 3.2 listed above, is Carhartt's current position on bioethics consistent with Article 3.2? Can you provide a written policy to the employees of Carhartt explaining any deviation from this bioethical principle?
25: Continuing with the United Nations Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights, Article 6.1 (Consent) of the declaration states: "Any preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic medical intervention is only to be carried out with the prior, free and informed consent of the person concerned, based on adequate information. The consent should, where appropriate, be express and may be withdrawn by the person concerned at any time and for any reason without disadvantage or prejudice."
26:In light of John Hopkins University's recent disclosure of higher Covid cases among the most vaccinated countries in Europe, does Carhartt still have confidence in the efficacy of the vaccines? And, in light of this study's findings, why is Carhartt only testing unvaccinated employees at this time?
27: Is Carhartt aware that experimental FDA approval is not the same as FDA approval?
28: Will Carhartt require all persons who visit Carhartt to be vaccinated?
29: How many Covid patients have died at Bartlett Regional Hospital since the beginning of the pandemic?
30: Is Carhartt considering requiring all persons who enter Carhartt to be vaccinated (including visitors, family members, volunteers, sales reps, etc.)?
31: Carhartt has indicated that all employees should wear masks. Will Carhartt please cite any medical or scientific studies it relies upon showing the efficacy of face masks in reducing the spread of Covid?
32: Studies show that wearing masks for extended periods is unhealthy. Do you agree this could be harmful to employees?
33: Some argue the size of the virus is entirely too small compared to masks and give an analogy of trying to stop a mosquito through a chain-linked fence. (Wear your mask and try and fog up your glasses, those water droplets are 70 times larger than a virus) If the argument is that Covid is transmitted via droplet (not airborne), don't we all need to be courteous enough to cover our mouths when we cough and sneeze? Wouldn't it be true that a mask is not required 100% of the time?
34: If all viral variants are less deadly after each mutation, why is Carhartt treating the Omicron variant more stringently than the original strand?
35: Would Carhartt recognize employees who take Ivermectin instead of a EUA vaccine? Studies have shown that Ivermectin used as a prophylactic is 86% effective against Covid. Investigations provided by Dr. Pierre Cory back this data up.
36: Dr. Byrum Bridle requested the vaccine distribution data from the Japanese government. The released data showed an accumulation of the nano-lipid particle in women's ovaries and in the bone marrow of men and women. Is Carhartt aware of this study, and does it have a plan to counter these potential adverse effects if its employees suffer these harms?
37: Israel recently disclosed its Covid numbers revealing that the vaccine's effectiveness should be revised from 96% effective to 40% effective. That number was reduced again to 16% for those who were vaccinated in January. In light of this waning efficacy, will Carhartt please identify the medical benefits of taking the vaccine for those who have had Covid before? Please provide any studies showing an increase in vaccines' immunity for those who have natural immunity.
38: Research has indicated that asymptomatic transmission is virtually non-existent. Does Carhartt have any countering studies disproving this finding? And, if not, why is Carhartt testing asymptomatic employees?
39: From February 1 thru August 2, 2021, 66% of all Covid deaths in the UK are in vaccinated patients (490 out of 742). In light of this shocking data, does Carhartt have any data or studies that prove the claim that the vaccine reduces symptoms or death? If so, please provide those to Carhartt employees for review.
40: Whereas pharmaceutical companies that manufacture EUA vaccines have been protected from liability related to injuries or deaths caused by experimental agents since the PREP Act was enacted in 2005, companies and all other institutions or individuals who mandate experimental vaccines on any human being are not protected from liability. Is Carhartt aware that it does not have such liability protection?
41: Do the vaccines contain graphene oxide? Has Carhartt reviewed the study from the University of Almeria performed by Dr. Campra Madrid that found graphene oxide in the vaccines? If not, will someone at Carhartt please verify that the vaccines do not contain graphene oxide? If the vaccines contain graphene oxide, can Carhartt provide its employees with some evidence that it is safe to inject it into the human body?
42: In the tweet below, Israel is reporting the breakdown of its current Covid hospitalized patients. In light of this data, how long does the vaccine work?
43: Does the spike protein stay in the muscle of the arm as intended? Dr. Byram Bridle, a viral immunologist and associate professor at the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada, warns it does not. What percentage of the mRNA has been found by Carhartt to stay in the deltoid muscle?
44: Is it true that children, pregnant and nursing women, were not included in the vaccine studies?
45: Is Carhartt aware of the % of myocarditis cases developing in vaccinated children? Does Carhartt still support and recommend that children under 18 get the vaccine?
46: Dr. Yeadon, former VP of Pfizer and scientific researcher, warned that PCR tests are unreliable and stated that "at no time in history have we isolated well people." His favorite lie is that "people can transmit a virus without a symptom." He said there is no such thing as asymptotic transmission. Does Carhartt agree or disagree with this position? If it disagrees, what study is it using to formulate its policy?
47: What are Myotoxin spike proteins, and how do they relate to covid-19 and Covid vaccines?
48: Has anyone at Carhartt researched Antibody-Dependent Enhancement?
49: Is it true that antibody-dependent enhancement occurs when the antibodies generated during an immune response recognize and bind to a pathogen but cannot prevent infection? Is it true that data points to the vaccines causing ADE? Should we be hesitant to take the vaccine?
50: Please address the natural immunity of those who have had covid. A recent study of 800,000 covid infected patients from Israel only had 72 cases of re-infection.
51: Are the rapid and PCR tests the same when given to vaccinated or unvaccinated people? What is the difference?
52: Are covid tests that are being given to employees expired?
53: Is it true that the booster is the same vaccine given in round 1 and round 2 vaccinations? Why would it suddenly work on the Omicron variant? Why would it work the third time if the first two shots didn't work?
54: Is it a Hippa violation to send out emails or use any method of showing the vaccinated vs. unvaccinated status of employees?
55: Will certain employees be given exceptions to the Carhartt vaccine requirement? If so, whom? Why?
56: If Carhartt decides to require the vaccine, will exceptions be made for staff who have no customer contact?
57: If Carhartt decides to require the vaccine, will unvaccinated staff be given the accommodation of an option to work remotely?
58: How many Carhartt employees were hospitalized last year with Covid?
59: Are there any doctors in our town who are against the vaccine? If so, whom? Could we have an opportunity to contact them for their opinion?
60: Is Carhartt testing both vaccinated and unvaccinated the same way?
61: Are we relying on opinions from Dr. Fauci even though he funded gain of function research and said, The gain of function research was worth the risk of potential deaths caused by lab escapes?
62: Are you prepared for a shortage of employees if we require the vaccine? Are you prepared to replace the current staff looking at alternative places to work?
63: If someone dies within 14 days of getting the vaccine, is the person considered "vaccinated" or "unvaccinated"?
64: Robert Malone, inventor of RNA as a vaccine, mRNA, and DNA vaccine technology, has declared the vaccine as unsafe. Should we trust Dr. Malone?
65: Does Carhartt feel we should go back to evidence-based medical practice guided by lab-based testing?
66: Some employees may want to get the vaccine, but their doctor has advised against it due to associated risks to them personally. Saying they are selfish, dumb, or should get out of healthcare is hurtful. Shouldn't we be kind to one another?
67: Some have argued that societal rights do not outweigh individual rights. Many have fought and given the ultimate sacrifice to protect personal freedoms. And, many stand for the freedom this country was founded on the God-given rights of individuals protected by our Constitution. If there is somewhere in the Constitution that even mentions or hints at societal rights? If so, please cite.
68: Is it true that the CDC is a recommendation committee, not doctors?
69: As facts, recommendations, approvals/disapprovals, best practices, studies, statistics change daily, is it worth waiting on an employee vaccine requirement?
70: Can we respect that everyone has a choice to make that is best for them? Can we not welcome different points of view? Are we supporting vilifying the unvaccinated?
71: Are internal promotions, promoting $100 Walmart gift certificates, coercive tactics, and milkshakes to kids worth the possible risk?
72: Authoritarianism is fundamentally wrong and driving people into fox holes. Shouldn't recommendations to bully or peer pressure subordinates be squashed? Is patronizing coworkers, treating others as dumb, manipulating, controlling, threatening, dominating, forcing authority, or suggesting the unvaccinated don't care, are selfish, don't care about others, or their job/healthcare, or requiring vaccines the best tactics for authentic leadership and our culture?
73: Could we focus on pulling employees together instead of singling certain ones out and dividing our staff? It seems the future decisions have the potential to either build Carhartt or be detrimental to the future of Carhartt. Many employees and community members feel very strongly one way or the other. Choosing a side and forcing it on others is extremely risky.
Sent from a doctor:
We know from basic immunology that when the body is exposed to a pathogen, the immune system will respond. This includes the acute response to produce killer cells that attack and will eliminate the invader. It also consists of the memory cells that remain dormant in the body so that if the bad guy returns, they will quickly recognize him and round up the killer cell troops again.
The mRNA vaccines create antibodies to the spike protein of the SARS COV2 virus. These antibodies peak and are hopefully effective during that peak (called into question big time recently). When they wane, their efficacy dissipates and hence the thought of needing boosters. Unlike other types of vaccines, these shots do not produce long-term immunity.
Being infected and recovering from COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS COV2, looks like it provides natural immunity. Multiple reports show that re-infection is extremely rare and the symptoms are minimized if it does occur. Furthermore, those who are recovered and have this natural immunity are not affected nearly as much during the recent surge as those who received the vaccine.
This study from Emory looked at 254 people who had recovered from COVID 19 and showed excellent antibody responses at 8 months. Included was a great memory B cell response which would indicate long-term protection against re-infection. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8253687/
This paper out of Duke looked at persons recovered from SARS COV1 and found that an antibody response was still present 17 years after being infected. Further, they found that these cells also recognized parts of SARS COV2. This is proof that the immune response is long-lasting and may overlap with other coronavirus variants. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-2550-z.pdf
This study from Washington University looked at bone marrow plasma cells, the ones who lay dormant in our bodies waiting for a repeat offender to attack us again. Patients recovered from COVID 19 voluntarily underwent a bone marrow aspirate. Analysis of the bone marrow cells indicated a robust response in the memory B cells specific to COVID 19. This would indicate lasting natural immunity. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03647-4.pdf
An NIH write-up indicated that persons previously infected with COVID 19 had lasting immunity at eight months after infection. The vaccines are currently not holding up even close to this standard. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/lasting-immunity-found-after-recovery-covid-19
Data from Israel where reporting is very robust and vaccines were highly mandated are questioning the need to vaccinate those patients who have recovered from COVID 19. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.04.20.21255670v1.full.pdf
This paper out of Johns Hopkins (and others) shows a robust antibody response to the spike and N proteins (not only spike) in COVID 19 recovered patients at ten months. Again the shots being given are not lasting this long. Also, bear in mind that this does not consider the memory cells' ability to mount another response in the future if needed. Natural immunity looks to produce an immune response to more than just the spike protein, which may be more effective. https://www.thelancet.com/action/showPdf?pii=S2589-5370(21)00182-6
This Cleveland Clinic study looked at over 50,000 employees in their health system and found that those recovered from COVID-19 did not become re-infected. Over 2,500 of these recovered patients did not receive the COVID 19 vaccine, and none of them were re-infected in this study. They concluded that those recovered from COVID 19 do not need the shot.
Thank you,
Go broke it is...

Subject: I have a closet full of Carhartt. Will never buy again if you fire your unvaccinated employees.
Comments:
All vaccines available in the USA are offered under an Emergency Use Authorization from the FDA, so they aren't approved, and the long term effects are at this point unknown.
A big percentage of your customers are refusing to get vaccinated despite all the pressure being placed on them by companies like yours to chose between their jobs or the risk of an unknown.
There will be a big backlash in your business if you go ahead with this. We are a big part of your customer base, not a small one. You should cancel this policy or delay until the safety and effectiveness of the vaccines is better understood. At this time there is no crisis that would be solved by firing your unvaccinated employees.
I sent one just now as well
Awesome. I think we can put pressure on them to change their course.
I just told them I am encouraging my employees to post Carhartt debranding videos to social media.
This is a shame.
Carhart makes some really good work and outer wear. It's a shame that I will no longer be able to purchase their products.
Oh well, get woke go broke.
Berne…. IMO better quality and warmer.
https://bernedirect.com/
And another reason…
https://bernedirect.com/pages/ccw
Thank you for the link, I will check them out.
The CCW line is very interesting!
I’ve let my opinion be known. These companies need to hear from the customer and I’ll be damned if I’m silent re: woke business.
I don't know about their vax policies, but the Wrangler Riggs line is great stuff...👍
That's sad. I'm wearing a Carhartt shirt right now. It is awesome.
They might respond to customer feedback.
Because I think a majority of their customers are Trump supporters. And Trump supporters are mostly anti-vaccine, because we have learned not to trust the media or the deep state.
Oh yeah that was a terrible call for carhart. Wad looking at a collared canvas work jacket. I'll be going with red cap or walls now. They are half the price.
The following is the email I just sent Carrhart:
I have always been a consumer who purchased your products for your quality, however, I saw Carrhart's response to the Vaccine mandates. I will not be purchasing any more products from your company and will be spreading the word that you do not value you're employees rights & freedoms. Forcing your employees to receive an experimental vaccine for a virus with a 99 7% survival rate is tyranny and unpatriotic. People are dying in mass! (heart attacks & strokes, which by the way is not being reported by the MSM). Shame on you! Your company will see a massive decline in your bottom line! Patriots are standing up to your cabal tactics! Patriots will spread the word! Boycott Carrhart! Stand strong Carrhart employees! Do not comply! Consumers are with you!
It didn't take that long to write the email. We all must show these tyrants were not going to take it any more & we have a choice! BOYCOTT CARRHART!
20 years ago I only bought Carhartt products for winter wear. 15 years ago, I changed industries and no longer needed their products. I just bought a new Carhartt jacket a month ago. I was pissed it wasn't made in the USA. This makes me even more pissed.
Honestly I'm not surprised. They are all about "the Brand". Disappointing anyway. Yeah, I like Duluth Trading Company, they are quality and not so self obsessed. They actually have a pretty good sense of humor. This moment in time reminds me of the movie "Fight Club" where they have the guy down on the bathroom floor in a fancy restaurant: "Do not fuck with us!"
Glad I didn't buy that dog jacket from them yesterday. I bypassed and went straight to China.
Now what am I going to wear to work?
