Termination From Employer For Refusing EUV

Updated:   Published

I am an Oncology nurse working for a hospital for more than 13 years. I live in California and there is now a mandate in place that is requiring me to be vaccinated before Sept. 30th or I will be terminated from my job. Not only do I not feel comfortable to receive a EUV that no long term studies have been documented because it is too new and not FDA approved but I have also witnessed friends as well as patients having severe side effects after receiving vaccination.

I am unclear how an employer has the LEGAL RIGHT to ask me personal questions about my religious beliefs or medical information (vaccination status), where are my HIPAA Rights. Employer vaccine mandates are subject to religious accommodation under the Title VII of the Civil rights act. For personal reasons I will be submitting for religious exemption to hopefully prevent me from losing my job. 

I'm not sure what the outcome will be but I am planning to seek employment elsewhere in case I do lose my job and likely it won't be in healthcare. I don't know if this will be the end of my nursing career and if it is I feel extremely sad about that. 

What happened to the phrase " my body my choice " ? 

I will not be forced to do anything to my body that I do not choose.

 Through scripture we know that God values our bodies. Our bodies are said to be a temple of the Holy Spirit, and we are called to take care of and honor God's temple. God's words lead use to use our bodies and the gifts He has given us to achieve the will of God.

Censorship is deceit. Censorship is coercion. Use of polymerase chain reaction as a diagnostic tool constitutes fraud. I guess the censorship is working because apparently you aren't aware of many things.

Let us know when the Nuremburg Code trials start. ?

You honestly sound untethered to reality. 

I don’t know if you’re trolling or if you simply need help.

Is your objective to spread covid nonsense in these threads? Now you're whining about censorship too. You are so far down the rabbit hole of covidiocy...I'm interested in you sharing a couple of examples of the "censored" content that you find so compelling...call it morbid curiosity...what kind of sick crap are you consuming?

So, you were convinced by the breathless claims of the author [checks notes] "FreeSpeechFan"? What convinced you to believe that opinion when there was no credible evidence provided to support the opinion? I wonder what you believe makes that article convincing...the lack of citations, lack of facts, or the unaccountability associated with the opinion? The fake news site you offered as evidence is filling you with nonsense and then you puke that back out and make yourself look like a gullible fool. You should stop.

Quote

Social media users have been sharing a quote attributed to the inventor of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test, currently being used to detect COVID-19, which says “PCR tests cannot detect free infectious viruses at all”. This quote appears not to be a direct quote from the inventor, Kary Mullis, has lost some context and does not mean COVID-19 testing is fraudulent, as suggested by some social media posts.

[...]

Fact check: Inventor of method used to test for COVID-19 didn’t say it can’t be used in virus detection

That same website had a video proclaiming that 62% of people who have had the MRNA vaccines will die of heart failure.

What a great source for vetting vaccine claims-NOT.

Isn’t the mission of healthcare (in a nutshell) to promote good health for ourselves, our families, our communities?  I think all of us has been frustrated with at least one patient (many for some) who is “Non-compliant”. We label them for not taking medication, following recommendations, therapies etc that might improve their health. Isn’t not taking the vaccine a case of US being non-compliant??

Let me answer that before some hot headed people start being rude to you.  Non compliance often affects only the individual's health.  

The concern with them refusing to get the vaccine is how they can affect others by spreading the disease and convincing others not to get the vaccine thus putting them at risk for getting infected. 

This is why there are those that act as if they should disrespect and humiliate people who don't get vaccinated.

Correction: That video states that MOST PEOPLE who took MRNA vaccines will die from heart failure and that 62% of them already have "microscopic blood clots".

Yeah, they sound seriously looney tunes…

I’ve posted this before but I think it’s worth mentioning it again. Apart from the U.S. and a couple of European countries, there are two other countries who are major manufactuers of covid vaccines. Any thinking person should ask themselves why specifically the mRNA vaccines are being targeted so ferociously by disinformation, and to a lesser extent two viral vector vaccines (also manufactured by U.S. or European companies), but the other major vaccine brands are pretty much left alone. When surfing the internet, always ask yourselves, what is the message, what are they trying to accomplish and who stands to gain? Connect the dots.

It’s a good thing we have you to interpret what others mean before they even say it. Not sure how we’ve gotten by all these years.. ?

I’m a California critical care nurse. I had covid, then I also got vaccinated. I highly trust and believe in vaccine science, and I wish people would get vaccinated. However, state policy mandating vaccination for healthcare workers puts a bad taste in my mouth just because of government interference, I’m personally very libertarian and I think it’s government over-stepping. But I will say, employers requiring vaccination except in rare cases is something I support. It’s a free market, if they require it and you don’t want to do it, I’m sorry but it’s time to look for another job. You are free to have a choice, your employer is free to let you go if you don’t comply with their policies. And it’s not discrimination, they require it of all employees.

By the way, I’m religious and lean slightly conservative, there’s nothing in my teaching telling me to avoid vaccination. If anything, my religion calls upon me to be an example to my community and protect others, and be considerate of the needs of others before myself. I happily protect my patients, family members, and community members by being vaccinated and following local health recommendations. That’s just my two cents. I’m tired of seeing all these outspoken religious and conservative types who are vocal online make a mockery of our faith and political leaning. Some of us care deeply about how we affect our communities and I am here to say I’m proud to accept the recommendations to be vaccinated from the leaders in my scientific community. It’s just not all about me.

I don't need any convincing. This has been one of the most obvious hoaxes. And I was quoting the source, the inventor of PCR, Kary Mullis. That url just happened to be the first thing I could find to link to. Kary Mullis and his explanations before he died speak for themselves. You might find useful knowledge in studying the psychological traits of fanatics.
