Well, it finally happened. My kidney transplant hospital has finally mandated a vaccine record to continue my quest for a kidney transplant. I'm screwed. I'm 2 years into being on the list, which means I'm just getting into a realistic spot on the list for a donor.
Dear Transplant Candidate,
We are sending this letter to let you know about a new requirement for transplant patients in the Program In Transplantation at the University of Maryland Medical Center. After meeting with health experts and reviewing the available data, we will now be requiring COVID-19 vaccination of all patients who are currently listed for transplant, and for those who are to be listed in the future. This is in addition to other vaccine requirements put in place to ensure the welfare of transplant recipients. This change will go into effect on March 1, 2022, and will require patients to have at least the first dose of any of the FDA’s approved COVID vaccines.
This requirement is being put into place after serious consideration for your health and safety as a future organ recipient amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Following transplant, patients require medications to prevent rejection of the new organ. Because these medications also suppress the immune system, transplant patients are much more vulnerable to infections such as COVID-19 than are other people who do not take this type of medication. Through the pandemic, we have seen that COVID-19 can cause serious health problems, damage and loss of transplanted organs, and even death in patients whose immune systems are suppressed, as yours will be following transplant. It is with this information in mind that we put this requirement in place for your protection.
If you need assistance in finding a vaccine, the easiest ways are to look on the State of Maryland Department of Health website, go to your nearest pharmacy, or simply google COVID-19 vaccines in your neighborhood to find the closest and most convenient one for you. Please feel free to reach out to our Transplant Center offices if you have questions at 410-702-xxxx.

Pay someone off that will give you a complete record
That’s brutal.
Find all the kidney related side effects from Pfizer’s 9 pages of known side effects and ask if this is what they mean.
People are getting pissed......just not fast enough.
I want them to be pissed and seeking justice.
When I hear someone is pissed I think "Where have you been? What took so long?"

8 of of the unclean got their jobs back.
They were granted moral exemptions but the job said they couldn't accommodate them, Yet they accommodated a few medical exemptions.
Judge ruled in favor of the unclean, can't accommodate one and not the other.
Also brought up collective bargaining rights and how they were violated.
Fuck Union rights how about Civil Rights?

Bet a bunch of them are Republicans too.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A U.S. appeals court panel on Thursday reinstated President Joe Biden’s executive order mandating that federal civilian employees be vaccinated against COVID-19.
By a 2-1 vote, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals lifted an injunction issued by a U.S. district judge in Texas in January that had blocked enforcement of the federal employee vaccine mandate. Biden said in September he would require about 3.5 million government workers to get vaccinated by Nov. 22, barring a religious or medical accommodation, or face discipline or firing.
The White House and Justice Department did not immediately comment.
The Biden administration argued the federal trial court had no power to hear the dispute. The administration told the appeals court that employees were required to raise their grievance through the Civil Service Reform Act (CSRA).
The panel majority said the plaintiffs “seek to circumvent the CSRA’s exclusive review scheme” and that the court declined the “invitation.”

I have not dug into the numbers but the decision was "2 to 1"..... One person tipped the scale in favor of the Government.
I have worked with some really wise and savvy old guys over the years. Different times and different situations but the equation was always the same. Regardless if a man was betting on horse races, planting a garden or taking a case in front of the Court. The man who could be right 51% of the time, in the long run, will be the winner. Now, the man who was right 49% still looked good cashing in those winning tickets at the race track, but in the long run he was a looser. One of the old guys that played the ponies said "Son, if I could be right 51% of the time I would be a millionaire".
"We the People" are battling a Government that is winning 51% of the time. And in many cases, just one person is tipping the scale. Pay attention to the details.
Can’t wait to come off leave in a week and have them tell me about this three weeks later.

I'm trying to find this case and the rulings on the Court's website and it isn't there. Is this the same case that was brought by Feds for Medical Freedom? If it is, I cannot find anything.
I think this is it, but I am not sure:
If that is the ruling, then why was it filed on February 9th and we are just now hearing about it?
Something doesn't seem right with the reporting of this case.
Here is the latest:

My bad looks like I forgot to update my status.....
My reply on receipt....
Hi Major Crook,
I hope you are well.
Well in hindsight, I think I made a bad decision.....
Had I only misused issued vehicles, mismanaged the contraband room I ran for more than ten years, misused union funds or coerced a junior to change a report, the job would have enthusiastically retained me.
Heck weird relationships and misuse of a taser will get you put into the office of professional integrity........what was I thinking to choose deeply held moral beliefs as my discretion?
I loved that job and I challenge any of you to find one person I worked with to say I didn't try to do it the way we were trained - I didn't even need a mentor to hold my hand.
Anyone in that uniform saying "Family First" is just parroting meaningless words and I heard that expression said so many times in my career.
To all of you involved in this process, know this truth, that the next time you stand for the National Anthem - you are just going through some motions with no real understanding or conviction for what it means.
Ill be happy if it ends with me but I feel certain my kids and grandkids will really pay for this precedent that is being set. Not politics - a moral objection to the use of gratuitous force - especially when coming from a force organization.
Respectfully,

Respectfully,
I appreciate you not going quietly. I have wondered if I should have been more circumspect and it might have helped getting better work to support the family. It’s nice to see someone else not apologizing and hanging their head. Like my mother said, “Fuck em”. Life is too short to kiss ass for $$$.
I bet they will have a good laugh at your response.
Those POS' are no different from the Clintons, Obama's, shifts and many others. You were never one of them. They are statists and you were played. As you stated in your response. They will let all kinds of misdeeds pass but don't dare to not conform.

I hope you ate a pot full of asparagus and then pissed all over that pile of gear before turning it in. Fuck those assclowns, they don't deserve you and I am sorry for your loss of career. You stood firm with your principles and did not buckle under their pressure, for that you should be proud.
I get pleasure out of reading any headline that starts out with these two words..... EXPERTS DISMAYED.... What that tells me in the opening headline is "They thought They Were Experts" .. Common sense needs to be revived here in America.... At my old age, I doubt there is any experts left in America.
Experts dismayed by response to face-mask mandate ruling as airlines immediately drop requirement — in some cases midflight
I am dismayed by their lack of credibility.
They no longer have any.
They should have opened the window and thrown the masks out.

Eventually, there will be "A Straw that breaks the Camel's Back"..... There always has been one.... History repeating.

Young people (or "inexperienced" older folks) haven't had their buttons pushed as much. Also, haven't had enough "eye opening" experiences in life yet. There is always that one experience that puts folks over the top.
I swear, if my younger self 25 years ago could talk to me today, he'd just plug his ears and call me a boomer, and I would just shake my head and mutter "kids these days... think they know everything."
Why do some names keep coming back in the news and always on the wrong side.....

It’s going to be a very busy morning May 24 for Chuck Ardito, the clerk-magistrate of the Barnstable District Court. So many questions for the Barnstable Police Department, if only he’s willing to actually ask them. Clerk Ardito has scheduled one of those very, very rare open hearings at 11 a.m.
The Barnstable PD, much to their chagrin, will be seeking a criminal complaint for improper storage of a firearm against Reid Mason, the 22-year-old son of the $267,210-a-year colonel of the Massachusetts State Police, Christopher Mason.
I hope Ardito asks some of the questions that the cops have been stonewalling me on. So far, for my inquiries, I seem to have been blocked by the flack for the Barnstable Police Department, Lt. Mark Mellyn.
One of my questions for Lt. Mellyn on May 5 was whether he had ever bought property from the future Colonel in Centerville? (Spoiler alert: he did, according to the Barnstable Registry of Deeds.)
First question I’d ask Ardito to ask the cops, because they’ve refused to answer me for more than a week now:
According to reliable sources, not one, but two incident reports were filed by the Barnstable PD after the incident in the early-morning hours of Feb. 28, when Reid Mason was apparently discovered sleeping in his vehicle in a parking lot at the corner of South and Sea Streets in Hyannis.
The first report was filed, as they say, “contemporaneously.” The second one was filed in late April — after I and the blogger known as turtleboy began asking questions.
The second report, which like the first the cops are refusing to release, apparently has at least one major difference from the initial one. In the first report, the BPD just reported recovering four firearms from Mason’s vehicle. In the later report the guns were reported to be unloaded, which would of course relieve the colonel’s son of many legal headaches down the road.
If I were Clerk Ardito, I’d ask the cops, why did you feel the need to write two reports on an incident which you apparently wanted to make sure never saw the light of day?
Why did you wait until the press started asking questions to file a second report?
And for the clerk: When can the media get copies of both reports, so we can compare ‘n’ contrast?
Here are some other questions I haven’t received answers to from the Barnstable PD:
Has young Mason’s license to carry (LTC) been suspended by the chief, whose son used to work with Reid Mason back in high school?
Was there a fifth firearm that was later confiscated at Reid Mason’s house?
Another line of inquiry: The Barnstable police keep a public log of recorded incidents. Everything is listed, or so it was believed. For instance, on Dec. 18, a veteran detective named Colin Kelley was arrested and charged with OUI after being stopped in his truck outside the police station.
It was early in the morning, around the same time as Reid Mason was found, and Kelley’s car wasn’t moving, just like Mason’s, although it was turned on, unlike Mason’s.
The point is, Kelley’s stop and arrest was splashed all over the log, and the story of his problem was even reported by the lackluster local newspaper.
Fast forward to Feb. 28. There is nothing — absolutely nothing — on that day’s log about Reid Mason, either the initial discovery of him in his vehicle, or any other stop to pick up his other firearm.
Clerk Ardito should ask the cops, why is the arrest of your own brother officer so prominently displayed on the log, yet there’s nothing about your interaction with the non-police son of the state’s highest law-enforcement officer?
When I found out about this incident two weeks ago, I did what I always do now when I get a tip. First I put it out on Twitter, and then I started talking about it on my radio show.
Later after turtleboy wrote about the case, I had him on the air to discuss it. And listeners began texting us, why are you guys picking on this kid?
Is it just because his father’s been gleefully firing honest state troopers for not getting an ineffective, possibly hazardous vaccine, while allowing crooked troopers who embezzled tens of thousands of dollars to retire with no jail time and full pensions?
To which I responded, yes, that’s exactly the problem with Mason. He destroyed his own honest troopers’ lives for absolutely no reason, so we just want to make sure that everyone is being treated equally here — wink wink nudge nudge.
Here’s another question I formally asked the Barnstable PD on May 5:
“Have there been any communications between the Barnstable PD and MSP, including but not limited to Col. Christopher Mason, regarding this case involving his son?”
I also made the same inquiry to the MSP Thursday, as well as asking to see a log of his cellphone calls on Feb. 28, among other things.
Before he nodded off, Reid Mason had been with other firefighters from a different department at the 19th Hole Tavern, which is popular with off-duty Barnstable cops. I asked the BPD if any of their cops had seen young Mason earlier that evening. Again, no answers from the Barnstable PD.
Clerk Ardito, you have my phone number and my email. If you would like more suggestions for questions about the colonel’s son and that mysterious incident on Feb. 28, please call.
