My job finally shot down all of the nurses trying to cite blatantly false religious exemptions to not get vaccinated. Now the only exemption you can cite is a legitimate medical one.
They're all talking about what they're gonna do next month when they're no longer allowed to work, but I honestly believe 95% of them are all talk. They have families, mortgages, and bills to pay. I think they're gonna sober up in the next 3 weeks, realize this isn't the hill they wanna die on, and begrudgingly get the first dose in the 11th hour.
Either way, I'm here for it.

This feels like overstepping to me, even without her letting them know she has a medical reason not to. Can't read the article so I hope it's deeper than that.

I guess she never provided documentation for the exemption from her doc and just stated it. Also seems the kid lives with their father but they shared custody

The situation is black and white, IMO. While it may SEEM obvious that there is risk with associated with traveling, attending crowded events, etc, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re destined to catch COVID if you participate in those activities. I think they should be evaluated more on a case-by-case basis because each situation is going to be unique. For example, a wedding in MD (65% fully vaxxed rate) is going to be less of a risk than a wedding in Mississippi (38%).
I think “safe” really comes down to the individual and how much risk they’re willing to assume.

Safe isn't even a word I would use in this situation.

yup. even with delta circulating, being vaccinated has shifted everything from a "be as safe as you can" approach to a "weigh the risks" approach.
it's reasonable to go travel or meet friends or go to a wedding IF it is important to you and them and also depending on the details (how many people? is it outdoors? are they vaccinated?). there's also nothing wrong with not going. understand the risks and use your best judgment.
I'd also add that you want to feel comfortable if you're going to something like a wedding. otherwise you won't enjoy it.

Yeah, seems like most of you will always advise us to play it safe and not go any event or any place crowded. Totally understand, some of you got families and it's necessary. I only have to worry about myself. Will go to a party or restaurant if I feel like it. This virus is never going away so I can't stay away from people forever. It was weird riding a crowded train again.

These. As soon as things shut down and we began quarantine, I knew that there was going to be a new “normal” once things eventually re-opened that I would have to adjust. So I’m not walking around all willy nilly like I was pre-COVID but I still do certain activities outside of my home. I am just extremely cautious which is all you can ask for anyone in public in 2021 and beyond.

Judge orders Cinci hospital to treat COVID-19 patient with Ivermectin, despite CDC warnings • Ohio Capital Journal
A Butler County judge ruled in favor of a woman last week who sought to force a hospital to administer Ivermectin — an animal dewormer that federal regulators have warned against using in COVID-19 patients — to her husband after several weeks in the ICU with the disease. Butler County Common...ohiocapitaljournal.com
my boy, "we should have all let them drink bleach and wipe themselves down with bleach wipes when they wanted to do it last year. the pandemic would be in the rearview and traffic wouldn't be so bad heading to work in the morning."

I don't envy you.
You know, as a good family member you're expected to attend and you also know, that from a virus avoidance perspective, the situation is less than ideal.
I went to my nephews confirmation two weeks ago, I skipped the church ceremony, both because there were limited seats due to COVID and because I usually skip church ceremonies out of boredom. I attended the reception, where COVID passports and negative tests were required and checked by staff and then I left early. The venue was a spacious room with several open doors out the the gardens and between courses, lots of people would leave the table to socialize outside. We were 40 people.
I'd talk to your family about your worries and then you have to figure out what kind of risk, you're willing to assume. This is an important day for your family, but the risk is also real. I don't think, it's unreasonable to ask, what kind of accommodations, they've made regarding COVID.

We were just talking about this at work.
The problem is these health care workers, who are a small percentage, somehow believe in all the fundamentals but this vaccine.

From what I remember about all the nursing majors when I was in school, I can't say I'm surprised.
