Thank you friend ❤️ You are right.
Thank you for this awesome response — I’m reading it over and over again.
I understand that. I’m what you would consider a tad bit ‘indoctrinated’ by an organized religion, though, and it will take a complete and total re-programming of my faith-life to not ‘belong’ to a parish. So, maybe baby steps for now. ☺️
I will check it out! Thank you ❤️
Just FYI—checked Chewy this morning, and would only let me purchase one tube of Durvet—all bundles of more than one were out of stock, and attempting to purchase multiple single tubes was denied. (Said they only had enough to fulfill one tube of my 4-tube order).
I have a couple of tubes of this on hand in the event that my ponies come down with worms (which, we affectionately call CHYnacoofs). I’m so glad others are sharing their horse’s stories, so we can all be better horse owners in the future.
Completely agree with you. Spiritual awakening is vital.
The point of this post is not that OP wants illegal aliens to be jabbed—it's simply highlighting the fact that people (libs, repubs, MSM, whoever) should see right through the Biden admin's guilt trip and fake reasoning as to why mandated vaccines are 'necessary'. Until he either closes the border, or arms border patrol agents with mags full of jabs, containing the pandemic is so blatantly obviously NOT a priority and NOT the reason for his potential federal mandates. Control is. It boggles my mind that people don't see this contradiction, and will just parrot the MSM nonsense about mandates being for the GooD oF SoCIEty.
Thank you, everyone!! Much love ❤️
NON-binary, you bigot. ?
Tit status: jacked. (As a ladyA ?)
It has, though. I have screenshots from this morning. They took out a key sentence stating that children under 18 should not be vaccinated as of right now. This is evil.
Good for you!! But what a horrible situation to be put in...I just cannot believe that it's 'acceptable'. UGH.
OK, here is the resource where I pulled the specific wording about mandates not being able to be attached to anything under EUA: https://childrenshealthdefense.org/wp-content/uploads/chd-notice-for-eua-vaccines-6.4.21.pdf
Which originally came from this source: https://childrenshealthdefense.org/legal/legal-resources/

If I run across any others, I will come back to this post and update!! BEST OF LUCK to you, my friend!!!
Thank you, op!! ???? Every little win helps!!!
I will go back and grab the links I used, fren! In the meantime—here is a portion of what I wrote, based on the info in those links:
“We’ve all worked incredibly hard this past year to build positivity and appreciation into our work-culture, and I think we’ve made some pretty awesome progress . I fear that this policy will immediately create dissension, divisiveness, ostracization, and contempt between two groups of our work family. Especially after reading several of the responses of the 'why's' that belong to our people who are opting out of the COVID vaccine, from the survey I recently sent out. That is to say—they aren’t wishy-washy responses. And neither are the "why's" of the group that opted in favor of the shot.
Which just means that there's already a major wall (even if currently invisible) between the two groups of people—if we call attention to it, that wall is going to grow larger and larger, and taller and taller, until we’re back to working in our old 'silos'. The only difference is that this time they won’t be service line silos—they’ll be silos containing those who’ve gotten the vaccine, and those who haven’t.
By mandating masking of one group, we are also putting a personal and private medical decision on full-display to the entire company, without each individual's consent. Essentially, we're singling out those who haven’t been vaccinated, which exposes their medical information to other employees.
This may even also work against us among the vaccinated group—many of whom may still feel more comfortable masking in the office. Now they may feel like they will be seen as 'non-vaccinated' by their peers, which, is a whole different issue that causes confusion and division.
Aside from the divisive issue, I also worry about the legality of this policy. I am absolutely not a legal expert, but I did some research today, and learned the following:
When we are talking about medical treatments that are authorized under EUA, and not fully FDA-approved, things get hairy (as you would imagine). AS per EUA rules, there must not be any mandates attached to the acceptance OR refusal of the EUA product or treatment. This rule would apply to both the shot AND masking (which I wasn't aware of, that masks were only approved for current use under EUA) .
As far as the vaccine—
“If a vaccine has been issued EUA by the FDA, it is not fully licensed and must be voluntary. A private party, such as an employer, school or hospital cannot circumvent the EUA law, which prohibits mandates.”
I understand we are not technically ‘mandating’ the shot, which is great, and I know people appreciate that.
However, the EUA rules go on to say that:
"According to Title 21, Section 360bbb-3 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the “FD&C Act”) vests the Secretary of Health and Human Services with the permissive authority to grant Emergency Use Authorizations (“EUAs”) providing that appropriate conditions designed to ensure that individuals to whom the product is administered:
—are informed of the significant known and potential benefits and risks of such use, and of the extent to which such benefits and risks are unknown; and
—are informed of the option to accept or refuse administration of the product, or the consequences, if any, of refusing administration of the product, and of the alternatives to the product that are available and of their benefits and risks.
What this sounded like to me, is that an individual must not be forced to accept “consequences” (ie: masking) of refusing the EUA product (ie: the vaccine). Additionally, if we were to still go this route, we would really need to make certain that we are doing a thorough job of pointing out that there are untold risks associated with this shot, as there is no long-term safety data and the type of technology used in the shots has never-before been brought to market.
The president of my company asked me (I’m the dir of comms) to send out a company-wide email this last week, telling staff that if you’re not vaxxed, you still have to wear masks, and if you are, you don’t have to. Thanks to this site ?, I was able to produce a very compelling argument to him why we cannot ask that of our employees. According to the rules about EUA “products”—they cannot be mandated in any way, and furthermore, any “consequences” from refusing the product can also not be mandated (Ie: requiring masking if you don’t get the jab). He changed his tune after learning this. I was shocked that he didn’t already know, but happy that I did and was able to edumacate him on the topic!! Thank you to all of you who edumacated ME on the topic!! ??????☺️
You will require NOTHING and you’ll LIKE it. ??
The part that is so hard to overcome is that WE have SO MUCH TO LOSE. That’s why we are the party of law & order. And I don’t have a solution to this problem, I really don’t. I just know that I’m a single mother to two young boys, and after seeing what our own gotdamn govt (FB-FUCKING-I) has done to a pregnant, single mother, for being at the capitol, it terrifies me. And I know that’s what they want. But it doesn’t change the fact that we are law abiding because we have too much to lose to be otherwise. Which is typically motivation for following the law. When you suck at life, give nothing to society, and don’t give a flying fuck what happens to you, it’s a lot easier to grab your flame thrower and march with corrupt elected fucking officials. I’m sick about this.
I love you guys — I’ve been reading your responses all morning and I am deeply moved by how sincere and uplifting they are. I already feel less lost. Will be doing a lot more soul-searching in the coming days and weeks. And will be keeping all of you in my prayers, thanking God for your wisdom and willingness to share your personal thoughts, beliefs, and experiences with me. I am so grateful for all of you!
