I work for the DOD under the Department if the Navy. I was suspended last week for not taking the covid test so i talked to a lawyer and I was shocked by what the lawyer had to tell me. This lawyer specializes in Federal Employee cases.
I brought up my issues with the test including informed consent and the fact no one evee responded to my, or any of my fellow coworkers', exemption request. None of us have ever seen an MSDS for the chemicals used on the test, namely ethylene oxide and sodium azide, nor has anyone verbally communicated what is on the tests or the possible effects of these chemicals. I specifically pointed to 21 CFR which covers drug and experimental drugs. 21 CFR explicitly states that any patient must be informed of the testing materials and possible side effects. I also showed the OSHA website FAQ page that says they don't keep track of vax vs unvaxxed injuries or deaths because they dont want to stop people from getting the shots.
I brought up the issue of harassment and discrimination based on religion. None of us heard back about our religious exemptions, so why were we all suspended from work last week?
-
Your religious exemption is only for the vaccine, not the test. According to the lawyer, the mask, social distancing, "vaccine", and testing mandates are all separate. Meaning you must apply for a religious or medical exemption for EACH ONE.
-
"The mandates are legal because the democrats interpret the law in way that, since the Constitution does not say they cant do a mandate, they can." Obviously, my immediate response was, "thats not what the 9th and 10th amendments say."
She claimed that these mandates are legal until the cases go to SCOTUS and they say its not legal. Basically, we dont have a constitution anymore. They operate on a guilty until proven innocent mindset.
- The lawyer also said the informed consent issue falls under the same umbrella as number 2, because the DOD is following their own procedures and is allowed to do that. Its legal until it goes to SCOTUS.
They are allowed to break the Nuremburg code, which is basically what 21 CFR Subpart B section 50 is, "just because"...
4)the recommendations were to fill out a Request for Accommodation. If/when that is denied, then apply an EEO conplaint. Thats it. Thats all we can do. I dont have the money to do a lawsuit unless i hop on a class action. So if hou guys know of any class action suits, please let a brother know.
Lovs you guys!
I’m shocked this lawyer isn’t aware of a little thing called the Civil Rights Act of 1964. We don’t need SCOTUS to rule on mandates. The Act covers religious discrimination and they have to make every effort to accommodate your religious exemption. If they claim that your religious exemption will cause their company an undue hardship it better be a legitimate hardship that they can prove w/o a doubt when you sue them in court. A legal advisor did a fantastic workshop on the Civil Rights Act and what it means for employers.
