I had thought about it a lot and decided that it was probably worth the risk, based on conversations with medical researchers who really understand how it works.
Then yesterday we had a workplace webinar where the president said that all staff are required to get the vaccine. Someone said how can you possibly require a vaccine that isn't even approved, but is only under emergency use authorization. The general counsel piped up and said that we think we are within our legal rights to require you to get it.
Someone else pointed out that in order to get this experimental vaccine we have to sign away our liability rights, so if the vaccine injures or kills us we have no recourse. And so isn't the company then liable for forcing you to take that risk? The webinar went silent for about 40 seconds and then the general counsel said that she would "circle back" on that question. So now they are worried...
Going to wait this one out for a bit.
Please report back. I’m scared many companies will do this and my husband has immune system problems. God bless you.
I should mention that they said there will be medical and religious exemptions. They didn't say documentation would be necessary. I think if you say you have an immune system deficiency they will back off
Also they mentioned that people who had a bad reaction to the first shot can opt out of the second shot
I imagine pretty much anyone can opt out and just say it's a religious exemption. I don't imagine they will ask which religion, but if they do you can say something absurd like the Church of the flying spaghetti monster which these atheists have been using for years to mock us
Hah! Funny fact about them, that religion is the only one that is allowed to wear a colander on their head in their Drivers License picture.
