I have been part of a worldwide organization for over 25 years, with my local group meeting in upstate NY, and headquarters in NYC.
The NYC HQ has required proof of vaccine to attend their events. I thought this was per NYC rules, and said they gotta do what they gotta do. But now those rules have been lifted, but they are still requiring proof of vax.
I’m seriously considering leaving the organization, but the local leadership isn’t being tyrannical, so I feel bad throwing away several 25 year relationships…
I’m not good with words but feel obligated to let them know where I’m coming from. So my request is, Does anyone have some links to a good summary of how it is NOT ok to make someone take an experimental shot and is actually discrimination.
Don’t buy into their frame, where YOU have to do what THEY want you to.
Its your business, not their business.
You will not disclose your vaccine status because its none of their business.
You don’t even believe in the concept of “opt out”, because elective, risky medical procedures are always opt-in.
No, you wont ask for a religious exemption, because you don’t accept the frame where you ASK, and someone else gets to DECIDE, if your religion is legitimate.
Word. I was going for being nice as possible but that’s less important than truly defending your beliefs. Thank you.
