I would imagine that there will be medical exceptions. I gather from the article that either get the shot or show your exception. Showing a negative test is not an option.

I would imagine that, too. Or hope that. Expect that, even. But I would feel better if they actually said that. (Too much nonsense around Covid has made me a cynic...)

  Just FYI, a cynic is someone who assumes people are selfish. A lot of people confuse it for pessimist.

    But "pessimist" is more characters to type... And, cynically, I see an amazing amount of selfishness around Covid. One side won't wear masks because it impinges their freedom, and they'd rather have their freedom than not have vulnerable people die. The other side wants to get everyone to do what they're supposed to do so that they (the ones demanding that others do what they should) can get back to living like they want, and never mind if they run over others' freedom or limitations on governmental authority or whatever. (Yes, I know, the second group is also concerned about the vulnerable. But it seems to me that at least some of the outrage comes from "Things should go the way I want them to, and it's unacceptable that the actions of others take that away from me.")

except a lot of doctors will be unwilling to give out medical exemptions because they are afraid to lose their license (even though they agree with the patient). It's happening here in Canada.

  Happened to me. Doctors gaslight me when I had an allergic reaction to Macrogol, claiming it was an anxiety attack while I could visibly feel myself suffocating to death. Did anyone bother to add it to my EHR? No. Did anyone even add the allergies after I used the online portal to send a message to PAMF? No. Still in pending. I keep on trying but somehow I keep getting doctors who don’t care or shift me from specialist to specialist since I’m apparently a case nobody wants to take. I’m so tired of hearing ‘it’s safe and effective’ sometimes. Should I go and get a shot that has a good chance of a giving me a life threatening reaction that may be fatal? (Oh and before you mention epinephrine, that’s also contraindicated; I have no faith that if it happens again, I’ll even end up alive considering I was left to just kind of suffer while nearly dying in the hospital ER not just once, but TWICE in the last few years). I give up. I admit defeat.
