(38,648 posts)And you're adding new conditions which really aren't relevant to the discussion - since her employer's position is that medical waivers aren't permitted (it doesn't say that medical waivers aren't permitted unless she provides a "valid medical reason" or "proof that the vaccine is more dangerous to her than the vaccine" - it says they rejected her request for a medical waiver which was supported by letters from two doctors who are treating her ("The mother of one submitted letters from her obstetrician and primary care doctor supporting her decision."
The medical reasoning beyond the letters they chose to send to her employer is none of my business, your business, or her employers. If a mask protects against spreading flu germs by employees who are granted religious waivers, it will also protect against spreading flu germs by employees whose doctors believe they should not be vaccinated.
