Yeah, we have to do attestation forms, and the religious exemptions generally have to be accepted as long as it appears sincere. Easiest way out would be the aborted fetuses used to make vaccines. One could believe using this is in support of abortion, and that is definitely not condoned by the majority of Christian religions.Yup, we have a deadline of this Friday (10/29) to have one of three things, fully vaccinated, be in the process or file for an exemption. Otherwise we will be forced to resign on Dec 9th. No testing options here as we are a gov contractor. This completely sucks!!!

That being said, I got the jab. I looked at it outside of politics and just weighed the pros/cons of it.
That also being said, there wasn't a mandate at the time, and I hate The State mandating anything.
It's hard enough finding employees right now. It's also generally costing Programs money since this comes through as a contract mod and opens the possibility of a Request for Equitable Adjustment.Article on Yahoo last night saying Republicans are pushing hard back on the defense contractor mandate. Saying this could turn into an issue of "national security" if private contractors lose too many people/stop making product etc. We shall see.
