WTF? It's sure settled for us senior citizens, since >90% of us have at least on jab, and most of the folks with one jab will get the second as needed. If you are one of the small minority of seniors who is not vaxxed, I hope you plan on self isolation for the rest of your life.

It is true that only about 19% of high school dropouts are vaxxed, so if you are a part of that demographic, I can only say "good luck".

gee sorry to disappoint you, but I have no intention of getting a jab that doesnt protect me from getting the virus or transmitting it. I dont self isolate ,never have. I also know other seniors who are not vaxxed and have no intention of doing so. And to equate being unvaccinated with being a high school drop out is the height of arrogrance. Who do you think you are? You and that attitude is what is wrong with lots of seniors in this country and lots of others.

So is that now a condition of employment? So I considered just adding an option that I decline to answer due to privacy reasons or some such. Should I just admit it? Had I ever thought this policy would be in effect I would have been a greater lier. My boss came out and asked me in March and I was so obviously caught off guard he presumed. The policy provides that they can request proof of vaccination randomly.

2. The policy specifically states that covid tests will be at my own cost, but also declines to state exactly what kind of tests will suffice. I have recently learned that insurance does NOT have to pay for the tests for "routine" testing. And at the same time I got a scary EOB that I can't make out from my insurance stating that they paid $150 for a test (but also saying I owed 150). What are my options if my insurance won't pay. The cost for 2x per week covid PCR testing will be 16K for a year.

3. What will be the effect of the FDA approval? Will that mean then that employers can straight up require it without the testing frequently option?

Thanks for info you can provide.
You should have to pay for every single test you force your employer to do because you refuse to get vaccinated. A large number of insurance companies had discontinued waiving the cost of weekly testing once the vaccines came out. Now that the FDA has granted approval of the vaccines I suspect no one will cover these weekly tests any longer.

Why should your employer or insurance company have to eat that cost for you? You made your choice, you can pay for it.

And yes, to your number three. Employers are going to be able to say no vaccine, no job. Again, they are giving you a choice. What you choose is on you.

Another source :

There are no abortions being done to make any vaccine, including the COVID-19 vaccines. Vaccines do not contain cells from aborted fetuses or other human cells. Human cell lines are used in the early stages of the production of some vaccines. Neither of the approved mRNA vaccines uses human cell lines, but the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson vaccines do use these cell lines.

I quoted an article that states what's used. Good enough for me. I actually don't even care. I use the exemption because vaccines are dangerous and cause harm.

Yawn. It's called an immune system. You should try using it instead of creating a system based off of big pharma poison.

As I stated above, I literally only use the religious exemption because it's the easiest to use, NO ONE wants to question someone's religion or religious views lol.

It's your body, your life and your choice whether to be vaccinated. If your life affects others lives (job), you should consider getting vaccinated. If you are retired, it's your choice.

As long as seniors hang out with other seniors you pretty much have herd immunity. Herd immunity does not mean that people won't get it though, just that it will not be able to spread in the herd.

no it is not a settled issue. there are many of us that are not vaxxed and have no intention of becoming part of the flock of sheep.
There is an ice cold gurney waiting for you. That is your choice.

The list of anti-vaxxers actively opposing the jab is getting shorter as more and more anti-vaxxers head for the morgue.

Phil Valentine just died, there were many before him and there will be more following him.

""Perchance he for whom this bell tolls may be so ill, as that he knows not it tolls for him; and perchance I may think myself so much better than I am, as that they who are about me, and see my state, may have caused it to toll for me, and I know not that.

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee."

John Donne

The fear-mongering is real. What is the survivability rate of C19?
