My employer just mandated vaccines. What can I do?

 This is from my thread on twitter.

Q: My employer just mandated vaccines for all employees. I don't want the injection. What do I do?

A: Become an injection-refusal activist. This is how.

- find and connect with colleagues who feel the same way, even just one other colleague, and meet to talk about it.

- research what others are doing, research - consult your union to see where they stand - document everything you do, for your safety - explore work venues in which you would be allowed to express your concerns - build strength with your group, try things, share

- create an anonymous/private group via social media to find colleagues and share ideas - decide if you want to go public about your position, learn how to do that - act, take small learner steps at first, evaluate each action

- reach out to other such groups, and share experience - read your contract, and corp. policy/rules - meet and talk to your member of parliament - write to the Minister in charge of overseeing your industry - document adverse reactions at your work

- don't argue, stay calm, only clearly express your position - don't backdown too easily - after all, it is your body, and your personal dignity (see great responses on the original twitter thread)
