I have recently discovered that I am a federal contractor as far as Biden EO regarding mandatory vaxccination for government contractors... the EO was written so broadly that it covers anyone that even associates with anyone with a government contract... and I now have until Dec 8 or loose my job.
The good news for me is that this is not the Biden fake mandate that has no provision for exemptions... this is the other one for federal contractors which does have a provision for religious and medical exemptions.
Being an Orthodox Christian I hold beliefs that prevent me from using a vax that utilized dead babies in it's production... The bad news here is that many of the Orthodox Bishops/Archbishops, due to the decentralized nature of the church, have punted on this subject and have said "this is a medical issue not a religious issue. Ask you doctor." Still others have flat out stated that 'developed with' is not the same as 'made with' and because there is no actual dead babies in the jab it's ok.
I am looking for a video of Bishop Porfirii's August 2021 sermon on the dangers of the Covid vax because he is the most prominent leader in the church that has strongly come out against the vax and I ant to reference his teachings in my application for a religious exemption. Google and the powers that be have scrubbed this video from youtube and I cannot find any mirrors.
Also any pointers to resources to help me through this would be greatly appreciated.
