This is why I am for nostr. Much harder to censor. And no need to apologize, I am actually sorry, I think I unintentionally portrayed that I was fired. I literally meant I was 2 days away from being fired. My company issued a policy that all non vaccinated would be fired to comply with White House mandate. I would have been fired had the Supreme Court not overruled the instruction.

Not to say it wasn’t rough but I didn’t lose my job like others did. Don’t want to falsely represent that.

I am with you that it is awful, and I am with you that the govt agency pressuring private companies is awful, not sure they should even exist.

Was this through the OSHA mandate? I was finally paying attention by then. Do you know that Biden announced it - and many companies promptly started with the threats or just directly with the firings using the executive order as the reason - before the order was even written?

My husband did lose his job at that point. His boss asked whether he was asking for an exemption. For better or worse, my love said the first thing that came to his mind, which was "You want me to ask you for permission to not take a vaccine?"

That was the end of that meeting.

Also when we both realized that he was quite based 😍

Your husband sounds amazing. Grateful for people like him that stood up to the tyranny and I hope he’s doing great.

My company was one of those from the Biden announcement. The message to employees was basically we will start to comply with this order on x date. Supreme Court batted it down a couple days before.

I remember my boss asking me to submit my vaccine proof through our online system because it wasn’t showing up yet.

This brings back painful memories. I also watched as people who wanted sovereignty over their own bodies were demonized. I'm glad nostr:nprofile1qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tcpr9mhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet59uqzpaxcjau3frxdy3wg65y3fg5yl43djl9sld5t09a8puj2zu44ytdeex0u9v did not get fired and proud of nostr:nprofile1qqst8tznun44qc4h7d68ucl7w0n8z96d4urxvrhhrhrj5uwfw8ka3yca000y7 's husband.

I ended up getting fired from 2 jobs. Ironically, these were both in biotech where anyone who was intellectually honest knew that when you are dealing with a completely novel drug modality, it is simply not possible to deem it 'safe' without years of testing and data. I wanted to wait to see more data.

My early foray into getting better at R by digging into the VAERS raw data coupled with my personal risk made the cost/benefit analysis tip in favor of waiting. Seeing Kevin McKernan & Jessica Rose' work on finding significant DNA contamination in the vials is yet 1 more reason to be glad I did not give up control over what goes in my body.

Despite that being a terrible time, it also catalyzed an immense amount of personal growth & exploration, as well as opening my eyes to aspects of society that I had previously passed over.

Here is their recent paper. Not surprisingly, the blob is trying their best to get it retracted as it does not paint Pfizer in a very positive light.

I came across Jessica because we were both learning R and playing with VAERS data, but she is much better at it than I. 😉

There's a reason that so many scientists were among the skeptics. When you're used to doing actual research the propaganda seems ridiculous.

Seriously eye-opening for us as well! Overall it was a good thing but I was in full-scale panic mode for a few years. Panic and anger. Everyone around me seemed willfully stupid.

Hope you're now doing well, and glad that you're on Nostr 😊

Thank you. I appreciate your positive attitude and thoughtfulness.

I'm doing well. Unemployed and teetering between trying to find an ethical biotech startup to continue that career vs. moving to our tree farm full time to raise a few animals, garden, forage and do forestry.

A cool in between option is that I spoke with the CEO at Umbrel this morning about doing tech support for them. That would be super fun and facilitate a more graceful shift away from the city. I am very passionate about freedom tech and would be happy trading my time to further that cause. Opportunities like that are scarce for a biotech junkie like me.

I did have a job after the covid debacle at another startup that I really enjoyed, but they ran short on funding at the end of last year.
