Weaponizing (perhaps too aggressive a word) private health decisions feels weird to me. The OP didn't mention any health concerns, so I'm assuming you're suggesting he just hide behind fictitious ones?
Your advice is probably useful and could potentially get him what he desires, but it still feels off to me. It feels especially off because I've seen people use the same approach so they can avoid wearing masks in public.
- AuryGlenz 5y agoIt only makes sense to do so if you are wanting to stay working from home for now for actual health reasons, not just due to a long term preference.
- smileysteve 5y agoI think up is thinking health concerns are related to the global pandemic and why the company went remote. But that's to ignore that * Not all ages or people have been vaccinated * Other disease such as flu or cold * Commute related health * Even ergonomics of a home office

I don't think "I'm not comfortable returning to the office for health reasons" implies any medical condition beyond being afraid to get covid. Which ought to be reason enough, if there's no particular downside to allowing OP to continue working remotely. And if there is a downside, it'd be good if OP and their employer discussed it.
