Approval really makes the most sense for any non idiot run company. Everyone wins, no lost or disgruntled employees or legal battles and everything continues as it has been.

Good news and thank you for sharing.

We will find out soon whether the clowns or the brains are making decisions at my company.
The HR person who did my follow on interview was really quite respectful and kind, but the list of gotcha questions around other vaccines and whatnot reminded me that they are not there to help me. They responded to “my body is a temple” by asking me if I ever smoke or drink. Cmon man! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: A copy of your letter or at least the correcting phrasing would be appreciated. Thank you. Quote HistoryQuoted: A copy of your letter or at least the correcting phrasing would be appreciated. Thank you. Please describe the religious nature of your objection to the COVID-19 or other vaccination requirements. I believe that the COVID-19 vaccine, specifically, is akin to the "Mark of the Beast" as stated in the Christian Bible. It is my sincerely held belief that spiritual harm will come to me if I accept this vaccine into my body. Furthermore, I believe that XXXX taking this action to terminate my employment for COVID-19 vaccine refusal fulfills the prophecy in the Bible that I won't be able to buy, sell or engage in commerce as stated in the bible unless I accept the "Mark of the Beast". Lastly, but not least, I believe that abortion is abhorrent. As in the 6th Commandment "Thou shalt not kill" Please describe the conflict between your religious belief and XXXX’s COVID-19 vaccination requirement. Simply stated, the use of fetal cells to make this drug possible conflicts with my sincerely held religious beliefs. Furthermore as stated above, I believe that coerced acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine is acceptance of the "Mark of the Beast". Is the religious belief you identified above based on an organized religious faith to which you belong? If yes, what is that organized religious faith? If no, write “N/A” in the space below. N/A If your request for accommodation is not based on an organized religious faith to which you belong, please describe the basis for the religious belief.? I live by God's rules and God's rules alone with regards to this specific issue. I believe that my body is my temple. 1 Corinthians 10:31 "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." Lastly, I've already answered these questions prior. Are there any alternate accommodations that might address the religious belief that you described above? I feel I could allow periodic testing, masking and social distancing. As we have done as XXX employees since the start of this pandemic. Please describe whether, as an adult, you have received any vaccines against any other diseases and, if so, what vaccine you most recently received and when, to the best of your recollection.? I haven't received any vaccines as an adult. If you do not have a religious objection to the use of all vaccines, please explain why your religious objection is limited to particular vaccines. Any vaccination that involves the use of fetal tissue is unacceptable to my beliefs as a Christian. Furthermore, I believe this vaccine as mentioned above, constitutes the "Mark of the Beast" and refusal will not allow me to participate in commerce in my chosen occupation as XXXX will fire me. Does the conflict stated above between the COVID-19 vaccination requirement and your religious beliefs relate to the purported use of fetal cells in the development and/or testing of a COVID-19 vaccine? Yes A) The following table contains common medications that have reportedly used fetal cells in their development and/or testing Acetaminophen / TylenolPepto BismolTumsLipitorSenokotXigris Guafenisen / MucinexPrilosec OTCMaaloxSimvastatinEx-LaxZocor Ibuprofen / Motrin / AdvilMMR VaccineZostavaxAmlodipine / NorvascBenadrylSudafed AspirinAlbuterolPreparation HEnbrelAzithromycinMetformin Lidocaine / LidodermAcetaminophenClaritinZoloftSuphedrineHavrix REGEN-COV2RemdesivirDextromethorphan / RobitussinAleve B) If you have used any of these common medications listed as examples or any other medication (prescription, vaccine, or over the counter medication) that has used fetal cell lines in their development and/or testing, please explain how that does not conflict with your sincerely held religious beliefs.

Please do not include any personal health and/or diagnosis information in your response or attachment(s). Other comments.

Trans-humanism is about making man over (genetically)...man created in God's imagine into man made in the Beast's image.
imo "Gene Therapy" according to Moderna not a vaccine until you change the definition of that word...vaccine... Globalist gene therapy aka "Build Back Better"....yeah right. |

My employer is going to get people with the accommodation part. Had one friend submit a religious exemption and his boss already said that the accommodation suggested won't work.

Quote HistoryQuoted: My employer is going to get people with the accommodation part. Had one friend submit a religious exemption and his boss already said that the accommodation suggested won't work. Granted most of my work friends have to be on campus working with hardware. My accomodation will be doing what my employer has asked us to do since the beginning (yeah, we were “essential” and had no choice.) ie. maintain distance, sanitize and wear a mask when possible. Also, i have had covid and have natural immunity (will upload my positive test result) which quite possibly provides better protection than the shot. I will also add that those that are vaccinated can still get it, and will transmit it, so i am causing no more hardship than they are/will be. <———this is the most asinine thing about the whole ordeal. I won’t be adding the last part.

My company does religious exemptions but get this.....it doesn't get you out of the 2400$ a year health insurance surcharge for non vaccinated. They always find a way.
Their justification is the high cost of covid hospitalization. Which is completely bullshit if you look at numbers of positive cases and hospitalizations. I work with some old unhealthy mofos and no one has been hospitalized. |

OP (or anyone else that knows the answer),
Do you know if your exemption was sent to the feds for approval or was it approved in house through your employer? I'll be filing the same exemption as will be friends of mine who are .gov employees, and curios to know if the approval process is the same. Admin- |

I'm in a Sales Engineering position at a large global company with many federal contracts. We received the mandate from our company for Dec 8 based on the EO. I'm fully vaccinated so no big deal.
One of my very large customers just sent my company a letter from their lawyers stating that anyone from my company must be fully vaccinated to work on their account and no one that is unvaccinated will be allowed entrance to their offices after Dec 8. So even if my company gives someone a religious exemption, they would not be able to do the job I do unless they are fully vaccinated. Not every job is like mine, but I can't help thinking that a lot of people claiming a religious exemption may not be earning a paycheck in the near future. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: mine was approved however the wording on the approval letter basically says the employer can change the approval at anytime. I was notified by my director a couple of days ago that my exemption was approved. I got the email from HR today, and it's worded just like yours. It specifically says that it's a temporary exemption. It also makes sure to say that my employment with this company is AT WILL and that I can be replaced for any reason and at any time. Then it goes into the propaganda and says that--and I quote-- "According to the CDC, almost all of the hospitalizations and deaths have been among the unvaccinated." lol--I've been hearing that it's 50/50 in most states and in some places like Ireland with a 90% vax rate, there's more vaccinated in crisis than unvaxxed. The CDC has about the same credibility as the FBI with me anymore. I'm a 100% telecommuter. I interact with exactly ZERO people in person and everything I do is done via email, Webex, and MS Teams. |
