Hi frens,
I have dear friend, she is a very talented artist who got a job offer at a very prestigious studio in Hollywood. They unfortunately require proof of vaccination for non-union employees, even for remote work. My friend cannot get the jab because of her personal medical history and a family history of autoimmune disorders. I love her very much, she has suffered through so much hardship in her life and she deserves this opportunity more than anything in the world.
Does anyone have a personal recommendation or knowledge of where this can be obtained in the state of California? I realize any doctor who signs medical exemptions is putting themselves at great risk, but California is a big state and I've heard of it being done in rare cases. Believe me, my friend would qualify for one of those rare cases, it's a legitimate medical concern that she has struggled with over the last decade.
If anyone has any leads, I'd be forever grateful. Feel free to DM me if the info is sensitive or if you'd like more information about my friend's situation.
Edit: One of her doctors actually wrote her an exemption! Thank you all for the suggestions.
Lying or forging a certificate / exemption is complying and condoning what's happening. No. If they're not even accepting her legitimate medical concern as an exemption, why would she work there at all? Why stay in a place where medical professionals are too scared to do the right thing? Talented artists can get work elsewhere, too. At some point, we have to stand up for the things we believe in, otherwise do we really believe in them?
Too true my fren. We have both talked about moving out of state, but unfortunately work in our respective fields is scarce outside of Cali. We are not looking for anything illegal.
Understood. Maybe there are some medical professionals with their principles in tact, hopefully you can find them.

No need to forge - legit medical exemptions are given by legit providers. Thomas Renz law can likely advise in your state:

Thanks. In California things are a bit different, do you know if Renz-Law has resources here? I didn't see anything obvious on their website but we can try contacting them.
