Well, it happened. My work is demanding proof of vaccination. I'm not stupid enough to try submitting a fake vax card, they're too pozzed to want to accept religious exemptions, and anywhere else in my field is likely to be just as bad. Think it's worth driving to a poor part of town and offering a pharmacy tech $500 to stick an empty needle in my arm?
did they announce it per mail or you personally? because there's a difference between demanding it and actually enforcing it. procrastination and slow bureaucracy are a thing, might as well let it work in your favor just dragging it out when they ask.

Turned out I was being too optimistic. Company caved and is enforcing the Jan. 4 deadline. Me and another guy are both planning to hold our ground till either we get fired or the company backs down.
it's roughly two months till january 4th, who knows what's gonna happen till then. worst case you might be able to drag it out another month where your status is unclear by going on "stress related" sick leave or whatever for a few weeks (would also give the company a taste of what it'd be like if they'd have to replace you), and if the government starts fining for people "maybe, maybe not" pushback will be even harder.

Mass email. Gotta upload a pic of my vax card by the deadline. Like I said earlier, my work is pretty pozzed so I doubt I can get an exemption, and uploading a fake card strikes me as a really bad idea. I'll try to drag it out as long as I need to.

Hypothetically speaking, uploading a fake vaccine card is pretty easy to get away with and I have quite a few acquaintances IRL who can attest to that, hypothetically speaking

Even if you don't think you can, discriminating against religion is bad on a federal level. Dismissing you for that could cause a lot of headache for them. It's worth trying before you give up completely. If you are going to lose everything, then there's no reason not to fight, and you seem to have a couple of back up plan options. I would work down to them.
 
The ghost of a failed Austrian artist smiles.
VIENNA, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Austria said on Friday it is barring those not fully vaccinated against COVID-19 from cafes, restaurants and hairdressers as infections approach the record set a year ago and the government struggles to convince holdouts to get the shot.

Roughly 64% of Austria's population is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, in line with the European Union average but one of the lowest rates in western Europe. Many Austrians are sceptical about vaccines, as is the far-right Freedom Party, the third-biggest party in parliament.

New daily infections have been surging and on Friday reached 9,388, close to the record of 9,586 set a year ago. The government said it expects a new record in the coming days.

"The evolution is exceptional and the occupancies of intensive-care beds are increasing significantly faster than we had expected," conservative Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg told a news conference on the new measures that start on Monday.

These include barring the unvaccinated from hotels, events of more than 25 people and, importantly for a country that is a winter sports hotspot, ski lifts.

There will be a four-week transition period in which a first vaccination plus a PCR test will grant admission to places where the unvaccinated will be banned. After that, only the fully vaccinated and those who have recently recovered from a coronavirus infection will be let in.

Friday's announcement comes a day after a similar move by the city of Vienna, which has the lowest infection rate among Austria's nine provinces but the highest proportion of intensive-care bed occupied by COVID-19 patients at 20%.

While those dining out will have to show they have been vaccinated, the waiters serving them will not.

"One is a leisure activity undertaken voluntarily. No one forces me to go to the cinema or the restaurant. The other is my place of work," Schallenberg said.

Religious Exemptions are federal law. They can be as mad as they want, they can't do shit if you declare one. Do so, and write down date/times/etc. Make them fire you if they refuse, then sue for wrongful termination.

Also, it's not "requesting an exemption." It's "declaring your exemption." Make sure you have the right mindset there, because they VERY MUCH want to switch it to requesting (i.e., you begging them for permission to not be jabbed) vs the reality (you declaring that you don't believe in it and they can't force you because your beliefs trump their pseudo-religion).
 
Some pro-vaxx guys should listen the Proctor & Gamble employees' warning carefully.
The retards already said "GOOD WE DON'T NEED THEM ANYWAY" when firemen, garbage collectors, and EMTs said they won't take it.
 
Muh delta was invented to explain away the known deficiencies of the dogshit (((vaccines))), change my mind.
Delta is real, but proves the futility of
a) trying to mass vaccinate during a pandemic and
b) trying to vaccinate against any coronavirus ever because they mutate faster than a politician's principles
 
Employers learning that when a good portion of their force turn around and tell them to get fucked, and that there is no one willing to come on board and replace them will never not be funny. Which airline was it again that learned this the hard way?
thats different, airline bullshit is like the entertainment industry there are so many hoops to jump through that paco outside home depot can't be brought in to do the jobs. its why iatse basically got everything they asked for once just threatening a strike.
I'm supposed to be vaccinated to be at my building, but I just have a little notice reminding me of that, and then asking me where I'm working. I have no place to put in those details or to deny, so I guess what they don't know, for the time being.

Mostly, I'm concerned when the mandates go through that they will ask more directly. I'd try a religious exemption, or otherwise, lying. I'd be fine facing criminal prosecution for an unjust law, if it comes to it. The logistics of paying my rent worries me just because I like my place and own to many things to carry everywhere, if I won't be allowed to work anywhere. I mean, there's outdoor work or small companies, perhaps. I can try and find gig jobs or see if anything remote is hiring. It's being completely disallowed to pick up even a fast food job that is frightening. I'm not sure how long such a system can be in place before it crumples in on itself, although I will try to milk it out as long as I can.

Still holding out for my sewer society, and just bracing for life to suck to the most extreme level, but maybe if I survive I can climb the corpse pile for all those who took the deathjab if it really does kill people in five years (although, I'd miss a handful of them.)
just to play devils advocate, we're 20% of the way through 5 years roughly and the death toll isn't that high yet. like overall the psychopath that said "fuck it human trials" has basically been proven correct. look up the 1 year deaths from RNA vax, pre-covid. we aren't anywhere close to that either. overall doing warp speed clearly worked.
 
Skimmed the MaxxVaxx thread, and there's some fabulous irony. We're apparently being "tricked" by "propaganda from a few news outlets" with "no credible sources". It's also just so funny that we believe we're independent thinkers, but we "all spout the same talking points over and over again".

This is the thread that STILL has "pussies afraid of a little needle" and "they think it's full of nanobots" on their spin cycle.

Basically this.
What's ironic/funny about it is that Delta was identified in India prior to the roll-out of any vaccine except Sinovac, IIRC, which even then wasn't out in India at the time. The improved viral survival in the face of vaccine-induced antibodies, B-cell and T-cells (or the lack thereof for the last two) was purely by coincidence. Delta being better at infecting in spite of vaccination status was purely random luck-of-the-draw.

Now compare this to AY.4.1 & AY4.2. both under the moniker "Delta Plus", which both proliferated in the UK due to the selective pressure of a widely vaccinated populace.

One guy replied on Twitter to Big Bird and CNN about the vaccine.

The deaths at Astroworld have nothing to do with the coronavirus. It was a poorly planned festival, the gates were stormed, the security sucked, the medical staff didn't even know how to do CPR, and street drugs in 2021 are dirty in a way older drug users can't even comprehend. I also heard they made people dump water out at the entrance, then only had two stations available. Stuff like this happens all the time at large events, but usually not all at once. Sounds like a fucking hellscape, imagine dying while Travis Scott does the robot over your body.

People aren't posting news here anymore because there's hardly any to post. I've basically stopped checking for COVID news because it's a dead topic. Biden trying to force the mandate through OSHA is mildly interesting, but will likely be struck down. Other than that, what more is there to talk about?
 
Isn't the new anti viral going to make the vaccine obsolete?

Or wishful thinking?
The vaccine is already obsolete, because it doesn't work as anything other than a short acting prophylactic.

It's also obsolete even if it did work for anyone who isn't already terminally ill, very old or over 500 pounds.
