The county has officially rescinded the mandatory vaccination policy for our public employees. Thousands of people can now continue their service because of the commitment shown by this community. We will remain observant to ensure these employment protections stay in place.

Dear Mark Schwartz and Arlington County Board,
Whereas no current Covid-19 “vaccine” prevents the infection and transmission of Covid-19;
Whereas no consideration is given in Arlington County's new mandatory vaccination policy to those with natural immunity, even though there is evidence to show natural immunity is robust and long-lasting;
Whereas the county lacks evidence that vaccination status has a direct impact on the spreading of Covid-19;
Whereas the vaccine mandate disproportionately harms people of color;
Whereas short-term safety data on the Covid-19 vaccines is not being systematically collected and verified, making Informed consent impossible;
Whereas medium- and long-term safety data is still unknown for all 3 current vaccines, since they are all new vaccines;
Whereas no method of recourse to Arlington or other organization or authority has been mentioned by your policy where the vaccine produces adverse effects (such as but not limited to Pericarditis, Myocarditis, Anaphylaxis, Bell’s Palsy, blood clots, death) in those employees extorted into taking the vaccine;
Whereas vaccine efficacy only protects for a short period of time and wanes, requiring an unknown number of additional boosters;
Whereas the best data available shows an estimated 8,600 people nationwide have died after getting the vaccine;
Whereas genuine national discussion of Covid-19 is being suppressed;
Whereas over 90% of the county employees are already vaccinated and PPE required by all is not in short supply;
Whereas the vaccine was designed for a previous version of SARS-CoV-2;
Whereas the normal course of validating a new vaccine is 5-10 years;
Whereas the Nuremberg Code is being ignored though it is the gold standard of Medicinal ethics since WWII
We sincerely request that this county-imposed vaccine mandate be reconsidered and retracted in an effort to find a more appropriate solution for dealing with Covid-19. Employing unvaccinated workers does not in fact affect the continuity of the government, or its services. Terminating 3-10% of your workforce is a much greater risk to continuity of government services;
Please seek to substitute the collective termination with more reciprocal ideas such as:
1. Affordable at work self-testing like nearby localities, and like county contractors, and test anyone with symptoms who are reporting to work, since the vaccine doesn't stop the spread
2. Make an allowance for natural immunity

The feedback from county employees regarding this mandate remains consistent and deeply concerning. I have been communicating with various representatives to ensure our collective position stays front and center in their deliberations.

The momentum behind this petition continues to grow as more residents recognize the importance of these concerns. I am grateful for the dedication shown by everyone advocating for fair employment policies in our county.

Please help save our Livelihood... Just bc we don't want to take the shot doesn't mean we don't want to work. Not to mention the fact that I'm Asymptomatic and have worked everyday at Arlington County since the CVD-19 Pandemic began.
Arlington County always preach to the employees about Diversity,Inclusive and Equity. The Vaccine mandate is the total opposite and Destroys the peoples basic human rights.
I am a Pentagon first responder with over 25 years of proudly serving Arlington County and this Fire Department. The Police and Fire employees you want to fire have risked their lives for the citizens of this county. What a way to thank us and our families for our sacrifices.
I am vaccinated and I believe citizens should have tow right to choose and not be penalized by being their right to be a productive and autonomous member of society
My husband is the only one working as I have been going through some mental issues. He has been working in arlington water department for almost 6 years. He was also working through the whole pandemic and was also on call. Please help him not lose his job and possibly apartment
This is lunacy to be firing these people over something that doesn’t even work!
Science is as always changing. Those having taken the vaccine are causing more harm to others.

It's disrespectful to the people who have been working threw the pandemic when there was no vaccine available to lose there jobs. The county commisoner even stated he is ok with losing people. The fire dept is in mandatory holds daily already.
