While some firefighters join the resistance, others speak up in support of the COVID-19 vaccine.
More than 2,600 LAPD employees have indicated that they plan to pursue religious exemptions, while more than 350 plan to seek medical ones, according to a source in city government.“The U.S. Supreme Court, and courts across the country, have upheld vaccination mandates by government and they’ve done so because they said the greater good compels it,” Feuer said.
There’s going to have to be a price to pay, because you can’t issue an order without serious consequences for those who ignore it. And sources say that everything is on the table at the moment as city officials and union leaders talk it over. County officials may end up having to make a choice, as well, about what to do with resisters in the sheriff’s and fire departments. On a private social media site shown to me by a county source, county firefighters have been sharing information on discredited COVID-19 remedies, strategizing on how to combat vaccine mandates and attacking the county Board of Supervisors.
One argument I’ve gotten repeatedly from firefighters is that they’ve survived COVID-19 and their natural immunity is as good or better than what the vaccine provides, so why take the risk of side effects? Along with that argument is the claim that this is a case of government overreach.“As for government overreach, every one of them who went to public school had to be vaccinated,” Brewer said.
