My liberal workplace is finally going full commie. It was only a matter of time working for a company in the middle of a leftist hellscape, but I'm still shocked how quickly they rolled out these new commandments with no prior warning or employee feedback.
They've already made face coverings (masks/face shields) mandatory, and also just dropped a mandatory 1.5 hr "unconscious bias" training course on us as some stupid "CEO diversity and inclusion pledge" earlier this year to be completed by december. I was willing to postpone the course until after the election to see if they'd get spanked by Trump since we're technically a federal contractor (we do occasional work for the military) and he put out that new executive order against critical race theory. Who the fuck knows if he's all talk on this one or not.
To my joy, we all just got an email today about how now the flu vaccine is mandatory and we have to sign up for the at-work clinic by the end of this month. No further clarification outside of "THIS SIGN UP IS REQUIRED". Now I have to go have a useless conversation with HR that I already know the outcome of, and I suspect I'll have to contact an exemptions lawyer. I really like my job, but there's no fucking way they're injecting me with poison to keep it. If I can legally avoid it, I'd like to stay, but I'm more than willing to walk away on this one.

Say you can't get the shot for religious purposes.

For Christians or Jews who do not wish to participate in the vaccination process due to religious beliefs, as well as the use of genetic engineering can look to Leviticus 19:19 for guidance. "Thou shalt not let they cattle gender with a diverse kind: though shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woolen come upon thee." Many substances in vaccines contain both human and animal tissue. In Luke 13: 1-5, it says, "There were present at that season some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?" This infers that it is a sin "above all others" to mix human and sacrificed animal blood.

People always shit on Leviticus, and they often like to use that verse, interpreted literally, as an example of how silly it is which is funny because I love that verse as I hate blended fabrics, they are poorer quality even linen and wool which would be a lovely quality blend in these days of linen/ viscose and wool/acrylic blends.

I'd say that's more a verse against diversity and race mixing, if you think about it.
But nobody cares. Not a fucking soul on this website cares.

That's their choice to make.
I see that as well, but if you can use it to get a religious exemption, why not ?
