No Mandatory Vaccines: NJ First Responders
No Mandatory Vaccines: NJ First Responders
The Issue
LAST YEAR WE WERE HEROES...
Vaccine mandates have been running rampant across the country. From colleges, to hospitals, prisons to precincts. It's not that we're against vaccines. Vaccines are great. But experimental vaccines are not. Even worse are mandated experimental vaccines.
We're petitioning to show our employers and NJ lawmakers that we will not be forced to choose between the experimental vaccine and our livelihood. Nurses, doctors, EMTs, paramedics, law enforcement, firefighters, and all first responders have been on the front line without a complaint. Everyone thanked us and called us heroes as we fought crime or cared for your loved ones. Now you turn your backs on us only because we don't feel comfortable with injecting ourselves with an experimental vaccine that has already been pulled from the market several times in its rollout.
Adding to our frustration, we've worked through this time watching our fellow citizens sit home collecting 100% unemployment along with "bonus checks" for staying home. Still, we put our heads down and work through the pandemic. We put ourselves at the greatest risk to earn our income. But that isn't what this is about.
We've Done our own Risk Assessment
We've watched our surroundings over the past two years and have seen something very different than what is being espoused by the media, CDC, and politicians. We've seen that the rates of transmission, recovery, and hospitalization are within a range that we are very comfortable with. Do not let your employer mandate something that may put your health at risk. Let's stand together and united. This isn't only about first responders. It's about freedom for everyone. It's our choice what we put into our body!
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION >>>>>>>>>>>>
OSHA.GOV (29 C.F.R. § 1910.502(a)) Under various anti-discrimination laws, workers who cannot be vaccinated because of medical conditions, such as allergies to vaccine ingredients, or certain religious beliefs may ask for a reasonable accommodation from their employer. Accordingly, where an employer reasonably accommodates an employee who is unable to be vaccinated in a manner that does not expose the employee to COVID-19 hazards (e.g., telework, working in isolation), that employer may be within the scope exemption in paragraphs (a)(2)(iv) and (a)(2 (v).
Section 11(c) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29USC 660(c)) Prohibits employers from retaliating against employees for exercising a variety of rights guaranteed under the OSH Act, such as filing a safety or health complaint with OSHA, raising a health and safety concern with their employers, participating in an OSHA inspection, or reporting a work-related injury or illness. A covered employee is any employee of a person engaged in a business affecting interstate commerce, except employees of the United States, States, or political subdivisions of States. However, employees of the United States Postal Service are also covered employees.
