My wife works for a defense contractor and she is sitting in on a leadership call discussing the vax mandate they just issued. I'm in the other room eavesdropping. Entertaining stuff listening to the Chief Medical Officer dealing with an anti-vaxxer out of Huntsville. They are on an 85% voluntary rate but now are requiring it unless you have a valid religious reason.

Depending on the 15% number that’s a hard number to get over if you had that staff drop off at once. We are dealing with this but we are leaning to just fight it because by the time it winds it’s way thru the courts it will be years

I am a legal ordained minister, but more importantly a believing Christian with a pretty decent knowledge of scripture.

I have been knocked for my beliefs pretty hard the last few years.

Now, with this vaccine mandate, everybody now wants to ask what verses will get them religious exemption.

I wish we would quit dividing people between vaccinated and un-vaccinated. Instead we should be saying immune vs not immune. I recovered from COVID and, from what I've read in scientific research, my natural immunity is as good, if not better, than the vaccine immunity. So why should someone that already had Covid be required to get a vaccine when they already have immunity?

Because you need to appease the overlords.

thought I read somewhere that vaccinated people still carry the virus. i mean...i guess it’s easier just to point fingers when said person thinks they’re being ‘responsible.’

Because there is no money or power to be gained from natural immunity.

You should get an anti body test. I have tested positive god Vovid twice. I then had testing done which revealed that I had no anti body protection .

Four words; my body, my choice. Liberals have been using those four words to justify abortion for years, even though a fetus is actually another person and the woman is just a recepticle and food source until that person is able to come into the world and survive without that tethering. It's amazing that those same liberals are the ones pushing/ mandating that we put something into our body that we don't want. Their philosophy is that it is FDA approved now but how many drugs have been FDA approved and then later pulled off the market because long term studies show there can be serious health issues associated with those drugs. There are no long term studies yet on this so called vaccine, which is unlike any traditional vaccine in history. What long term human studies have been done on this? I guess I am just pissed because my son that has been in the military for 16 years is now being forced to choose to either get the shot or get out of the military. He has less than 4 years to go to retire with full benefits. This president is overstepping his authority and has no clue as to what the American public wants. The democrats said that Trump overstepped his boundaries but Biden is taking it to a whole new level.
RANT OVER.

Curious. Were you actually sick or just positive?
I was sick for about 5 days and tested positive. Just had a fever and bad headache but I think my dosing of zinc and vitamin D3 helped me.

It was a great comment but I adjusted it to fit all discussions.

My only real objection to it is science based.

Why force those that have had the virus to get this when their immunity appears to be greater than the vaccinated?
