@67Charger I want to thank you again. I just had time to sit down and read your explanation over lunch. Very well done.
Glad to help.. I had read quite a few different people's requests and stitched them into a single appeal. The wording is quite intentional. The use of the word murder vs killed is important, as it differentiates justified or "legal" killing from innocent blood.

It is important to make it your own. No one reads a boiler plate cut and paste document. It is insincere and will be written off. In my opinion, there's just enough legal and just enough personal commentary to feel genuine. I also meant every word of it.

Keep politics out of it. It contaminates the religious appeal aspect.

Good luck.

Don't you work from home/remote? and they are somehow requiring you to be vaccinated?

I do. My company said that because we carry government contracts the Biden EO is applicable to our company. The Biden vax mandate requires that all ancillary employees (HR, Marketing, Finance, Sales etc.) must also be vaccinated in addition to anyone that deals with the federal government directly.

Agreed. I will "tune it up" a bit for myself, but this is a great head start.

I work remote and was told the same thing. They said it only takes one person in the building to work on a military project and that would require everyone in the building/facility to be jabbed by the mandate.

Nothing to see here. Everything is running just fine in the city of Angels 😂

Especially since the mandate isn't in writing. It's only in a press release.
I've read this elsewhere so I went and looked at the EO archive and eo14042 is the only one addressing contractors. It doesn't say anything about mandating an experimental medical treatment for companies of any size. It defers to a task force outlined in eo 13991.

What authority does a "task force" actually posses? Any?

Edicts aside, everything surrounding covid is a lie, how many lies now? Too many to count.

If you allow this concoction to be injected into your body, you become complicit. You are now the liar.

I too have been mandated, according to my coworker the only choices are to capitulate or die. True enough, that is the end game if you have eyes to see it.

The third choice I don't see mentioned often enough is bribery. For $500 the tech squirts the dose into a plastic baggy instead of my arm. Once I get cataloged in the system $1500 more. Moral authority. Finding that person in this immoral abyss is another matter entirely.

It's time to start stacking bodies.

All this political strong-arming of American workers, and for what end? At the same time, inviting hundreds of thousands of un-vaxxed into the US and dumping them among us.

I've never really thought that there would an administration that was as evil as it was incompetent.

As a vax’ed member here, I fully support everyone that is able to stand up for their beliefs and rights to not get this jab. Being forced out of work or “retiring early” due to this administration's complete disregard for citizen’s constitutional rights is sickening. Looking at the big picture, December and through the new year will most likely have unemployment numbers skyrocket. Our supply chain will probably only worsen. I see bleak times in early 2022. If this push to vaccinate children continues, there will be a huge shift to home schooling. My wife and I are looking into how that would work for our family, as she makes a very decent income. This will push the unemployment numbers even farther into the abyss, I’d imagine child suicide rates will also rise again.

I feel it is time to prepare for the worst, and hope for the best. Get your stuff physically and financially squared away people.

Well, looks like the formal notice will be given Monday.
was in the system today finishing my monthly billing statements and a new employee journey popped up.
looks like Monday the company I work for will announce the vax mandate. Due Dec 8.
1 - medical exception (requires dr note)
2 - religious exception
3 - get vax

do nothing FAQ were not viewable yet, but my HR buddy said; first action will be to take my at risk pay (bonus target to zero) and i will no longer be allowed OT. Those 2 items account for 60% of my household income.

F me - looks like I have a decision.

My 24 year old daughter just landed a job in the industry of her choice only to learn that they will require the vax. I'm sure whatever vax'd person they hire will be superior in every way.

I have a feeling a lot of these companies will allow religious/medical exemptions then turn around and say “that’s fine but we’re placing you on unpaid leave/medical leave until you get the vax

My employer is allowing vaccinated only to return to office next week, while the unvaccinated are not invited. Whatever…. I informed my manager yesterday that I will not carry over PTO to 2022 and burn up 25 days of vacation in the next 60 days. When I am on the clock, I will be studying for a certification test (40 hours approved) on the company dime. “Let’s go Brandon”

I am in sales engineering. Option 1 and 2 will limit which customers I am assigned and potentially impact my ability to be promoted. Already have customers that want me onsite, but based on my current status I am unable to attend, so the accounts were reassigned to another resource.

With the SC ruling last night associated with Maine HC workers, it looks like this BS is not going away.

Well, the courts just ruled Cockbreath Buden can't fire Unvaccinated in the US Armed Forces with a TRO, so there's that anyway.

Insanity on Parade. Morons run the Fuck Amuck. Let's go Brandon.

Problem is SC is ruling differently.
The Maine case was associated with HC workers and the state not allowing religious exceptions. SC ruled they don’t have to grant religious exceptions.

Here it is in all it's wordy-ness. I threw the short version up front and then basically said let me explain.


I am a Christian. I believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Each of the available Covid-19 vaccines used aborted fetal tissue during development, testing and/or production. To receive a vaccine to protect myself at the cost of an innocent life is morally reprehensible to me. To put it more formally: for the reasons explained in the subsequent paragraphs, as a Christian, partaking in a vaccine made from aborted fetuses makes me complicit in an action that offends my religious faith. As such, I cannot, in good conscience and in accord with my religious faith, take any such Covid vaccine at this time. Please provide a reasonable accommodation to my belief, as I wish to continue to be a good employee, helpful to the team.

I can explain my position in detail, and if you choose to keep reading, I will. I have done a lot of research, and I am standing my ground. In fact, if we could have this conversation in person, that would be greatly preferred and you would likely understand my perspective better than paragraphs of quoted scripture.

Each of the manufacturers of the Covid-19 vaccines currently available developed and/or confirmed their vaccines using fetal cell lines, primarily HEK-293, which originated from aborted fetuses. J&J used an aborted fetal cell line in manufacturing its Covid-19 vaccine, while Moderna and Pfizer used aborted fetal cell lines in testing the efficacy of their vaccines.

I believe the Bible to be the living Word of God provided to us as guidance on how to live to bring glory to God. 2 Timothy 3:16 – “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” As a Christian, the Bible is foundational to my faith, and I try to live my life accordingly. The Bible teaches against abortion and that it amounts to nothing less than the taking of a human life created by God. Although abortion is commonly seen as a political topic, to me, it is far more, as it is literally a matter of life and death according to God's Word. The sacred nature of life and the commands against taking innocent life are very clear. The Bible explicitly speaks of God’s plan and purpose for every unborn life. God knows us before we are even conceived. Jeremiah 1:4-5 – The word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” God’s is at work while we are growing in the womb. Psalm 139:13-16 – For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. The 10 Commandments state murder, the taking of innocent human life, is a sin. Exodus 20:131 – You shall not murder. Proverbs 6:16-17 it states there are six things the Lord hates, one of them being hands that shed innocent blood. In addition, Jesus Himself said “Even so it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should perish" (Matthew 18:14). Aborted fetal cell lines were used in the research and testing of all three Covid vaccines. Receiving a vaccine in any way connected to abortion would be complying with an action the Bible says the Lord hates.

The use of these types of vaccines is morally unacceptable to me. The Bible teaches in Romans 2:15 that our “consciences bear witness” as to what God requires of His followers. Acts 24:16 tells us to “take pains and have clear conscience towards both God and man.” There is not an argument that can be made that will convince me there is ever a "greater good" that can justify the murder of the unborn to God. What this means is that being vaccinated with any of the currently available Covid-19 vaccines would make me complicit in abortion. I cannot reconcile that with God. Can you?

A separate issue for me is the instruction to abstain from contaminating my body with substances that may be threatening to my bodily health. In so doing, I am to avoid introducing unnecessary drugs and chemicals of all kinds into my body. This direction is the same reason I have no tattoos, no piercings, do not drink in excess, do not smoke, and have never even sampled recreational drugs regardless of legal status. Why, then, would I accept injecting the byproduct of murdered children?
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 states “Don’t you know they you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.” In addition, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 states, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.” I trust in God’s perfect design of my body. The vaccine by design alters the DNA.
To me, this issue is similar to others eating "clean" vs. “unclean” food. Orthodox Jews do not eat non-kosher foods. No one in the United States is required to consume a substance contrary to their faith. Few will argue that plenty of non-kosher foods are completely healthy, but religious faith compels certain individuals to decline their consumption. Even if the non-kosher food was the best or most efficient option to obtain certain nutrients, it would not be enough to justify and order to ignore their faith and compel them to consume the unclean food. Orthodox Jews still get all of the necessary nutrients without compromising their health or faith. In the same manner, certain individuals can decline the Covid-19 vaccine without compromising health or faith. I am one of those individuals who chooses to follow the Word of God and will not compromise my values or my commitment to God.

The Bible says as Christians, we are not to submit to any governing authority or policy that is contradictory to God’s Word. (See the Book of Daniel, Acts 5:27-29, and 1 John 2:4) “You are to have no other God’s before me.” We are to keep God’s commands even in the face of policy that forbids it, (Daniel 6:7-10) God is not anti-medicine. I am not anti-vaccine, and have had the same vaccinations that most of us had growing up, as have all of my children. If I have made an error along the way and unintentionally taken something I shouldn't have, it was only through ignorance and I will seek forgiveness. I will not, however, knowingly violate God's will. My personal religious beliefs require me to reject abortion, to reject emphatically any attempt at personal benefit from the killing of an unborn child, and to keep my body clean as a temple to the Holy Spirit. I cannot and will not sacrifice my personal beliefs simply to comply with the compelled vaccination policy. I have a responsibility to honor the Lord through my body and choices, and that is why I am submitting this request for religious exemption.
For the reasons stated above, I am requesting a religious accommodation, under Title VII and the Fair Employment and Housing Act that will excuse me from having to receive a Covid-19 vaccine. Lastly, I request that no adverse employment action be taken against me no account of my religious beliefs. Thank you for your consideration.
Extremely well done👌

I received my medical exemption from the jab. However, it is only a temporary exemption valid until Nov 20, 2022. I still have not heard about my religious exemption.
That’s great! Hopefully in a year some things come up and this mandate will be a thing of the past. But, who knows.🤷
