A few key points for those seeking exemptions:</p><p>Employers must evaluate exemption requests individually through an <strong>interactive </strong>process under the ADA, rather than applying a blanket policy only allowing CDC/FDA contraindications. An employee's specific medical needs and physician recommendations should be considered.</p><p>Some employers have wrongly limited exemptions to CDC contraindications only. This violates the ADA's requirement to provide reasonable accommodations for disabilities and overlooks medical judgment.  </p><p>Exemption requests should identify a medical condition and mechanism of potential harm from the vaccine. A simple doctor's note saying the employee shouldn't get vaccinated is probably not sufficient justification. </p><p>As for COVID-19 vaccines originally authorized as investigational new drugs (INDs), with no legal indications or labeling of contraindications. Policies only allowing exemptions for labeling contraindications do not make sense legally.</p><p>In summary, employers should evaluate exemption requests individually, not apply blanket CDC/FDA policies, consider the employee's specific medical situation, and gather sufficient medical details rather than tying requests to current labeling.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Turning the tables for accountability]]></title><description><![CDATA[for vaccine and hospital injury.]]></description><link>https://www.covidlawcast.com/p/turning-the-tables-for-accountability</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.covidlawcast.com/p/turning-the-tables-for-accountability</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Warner Mendenhall]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 16 Jan 2024 17:57:27 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3bjI!,w_256,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa12f65fa-ff7b-4f52-a941-ba2d5995bb43_101x101.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Truth for Health Foundation LEGAL SYMPOSIUM:</strong></p><p><strong>JAN 17, 2024 8:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)</strong></p><p><strong>Legal &amp; Medical Resources for COVID injection and Remdesivir injury</strong></p><p><strong>Speakers: &nbsp;Attorney Warner Mendenhall, Esq., Mendenhall Law Group &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and Elizabeth Lee Vliet MD, President and CEO, Truth for Health Foundation</strong></p><p>This seminar is for lawyers and the lay public interested in learning more about new avenues for lawsuits on behalf of those injured by the experimental COVID shots, or anyone with a family member who died as result of being the COVID injections or Remdesivir (<em>Veklury</em>).&nbsp; Dr. Vliet will briefly present the expanded resources created by Truth for Health Foundation for medical and legal help, and the TFH direct citizen reporting of these injuries at <a href="http://www.vaxdamage.org/">www.VaxDamage.org</a></p><p>We urge you to attend and learn about options for medical and legal help.</p><p><strong>Register for the Legal Symposium here:</strong></p><p><strong><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUsdeGsqDItHtFnsJ60LzkN0pfHY5-VkInp">https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUsdeGsqDItHtFnsJ60LzkN0pfHY5-VkInp</a> After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

But its soldiers have a right to religious freedom, which in this case includes a sincere religious objection to the COVID-19 vaccine. Which side must yield? The answer lies in the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which applies to the military: The Army must accommodate religious freedom unless it can prove that the vaccine mandate furthers a compelling interest in the least restrictive means. </em></p><p>The conclusion: </p><p><em>Our first commander in chief cautioned that &#8220;[w]hile we are Contending for our own Liberty, we should be very cautious of violating the Rights of Conscience in others.&#8221; Letter from George Washington to Colonel Benedict Arnold (Sept. 14, 1775), in THE PAPERS OF GEORGE WASHINGTON, 1 REVOLUTIONARY WAR SERIES 455&#8211;56 (1985). &#8230; Our Constitution &#8220;obligates Congress, upon creating an Army, to make religion available to soldiers&#8221; because the Army must not &#8220;deprive the soldier of his right under the Establishment Clause not to have religion inhibited and of his right under the Free Exercise Clause to practice his freely chosen religion.&#8221; Id. at 234. Here, the Army does not dispute this history or its ongoing obligation to accommodate its soldiers&#8217; religious freedom, including compliance with RFRA. But it has failed to prove that its ongoing imposition of the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, which indisputably burdens some soldiers&#8217; sincerely held religious beliefs, serves a compelling interest through the least restrictive means available. As a result, the Army must retreat from imposing its mandate in this particular field and permit religious exemptions to these plaintiffs.</em></p><p>The decision is <a href="https://www.sirillp.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/PI-granted_decision-535683b24f3b1ae25d6145818eb97f76.pdf">here</a>. </p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
