In case anyone needs them. Several people I know are getting exemptions approved. It's fine to say "just refuse," and it works if your employer really, really needs you, or if you're part of a group that's essential and the employer caves, but so far Americans still can access the freedom to officially exempt themselves. Our idiot governor here in Washington State has mandated the not-vax for all state employees and all health care workers. Insane.
