My pastor was talking to some people after church about vaccine mandates. He advised them to pen a letter to their employer stating that if they are told they must be vaccinated then they need to hand write a letter to the employer telling them the following
1. You have a deeply held religious conviction that taking the vaccine would violate those deeply held religious beiefs.
2. That if you are Required to take the vaccine as a condition of continued employment, that you would be doing it under duress.
3. That forcing you to take the vaccine is an unconstitutional violation of your right to liberty and religion
4. That the employer is fully aware of your objections to taking the vaccine and are still committed to forcing you to take this vaccine despite your objections.
5) Then sign it and demand that the employer sign it and date it acknowledging that they have read it and understand it.
He told them if they still insist on it and they need their job, to go ahead and take the Vax.
He then advised that the these employees (in these cases, they were police and sheriff employees) have all reported back to him that their employers did not sign it. They have not demanded they take the vaccines and they are still all working.
Apparently they are afraid of the lawsuits should it be later determined that mandates are unconstitutional.
I am adamantly opposed to vaccine mandates but I do understand the dilemma these employers are facing. They must weigh the legal exposure of mandating vaccines against the risk of lawsuits from infected employees if they DON’T require vaccines.
Forcing someone to take it as a condition of employment could lead to lawsiuts if there are complications or injuries due to the untested and not FDA approved vaccine
