Stop the Firing of Arlington VA's Fire, Police, and Civilian Employees

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 unlawful and shameful. None of us went to war in other countries to remove the fundamental freedoms of Americans. This is unAmerican and needs to stop immediately

I believe each individual has the right to say no to any medical procedures.

What happened to my body choice. Doesn't stop the spread. Doesn't prevent from getting. No

These are hard working men and women who do not deserve to be fired. This is taking away their freedom to choose, which is a human right.

I am more concerned with the people who impose/enforce a vaccine mandate then getting COVID. It’s quite obvious that our freedom to choose is being tested and government control is being forced down our throats.

No Vax mandates!

With over 90% of the county vaccinated there is NO reason to force this mandate… it does NOTHING to help the already vaccinated or unvaccinated spread Covid, only helps to lessen the symptoms once you get it! We are all already short staffed, there is NO reason for this mandate other than it’s part of Mark Schwartz personal agenda (those are his words, not mine!)

I started my career as an Er rn at Arlington Er in 1999.. Left a few years later, I work at Mass general in Boston where we were hit hard in 3-6/2020 pretty hard with Covid. (But nothing like NYC) Covid is back now since thanksgiving 2021 here … and it’s a lot of funky vaccinated people and people with boosters. These , are requiring hospitalizations , even among the healthy , young , no past medical history … so, how preventative is this vaccine really?

I pay a ridiculous amount of money into the Treasury of Arlington County. That amount carries with it, a determination that the County Board may not undermine safety services, without the consent of the constituents. As a taxpayer, I pay the salaries of the Board, as well as the Fire and Police Departments. Your decisions are routed in politics and not science, and undermine public safety.

Stop the firing.

Stop Now

Don't put our community in danger and treat our first responders so poorly.

I'm fully vaccinated and boostered against COVID-19. I'm very appreciative that the Fire Department and Public Health were able to provide us with the vaccine so quickly. I injected hundreds with the vaccines as a vaccinator for Public Health. I'm pro-vaccine. I strongly oppose COVID vaccine mandates. I consider these mandates to be intimidation, bullying, and un-American. I believe in persuasion, not coercion. I believe in science, which includes open debate, not suppression of ideas. I believe in critical thinking, not herd mentality or group think. I believe that freedom of choice should be preserved whenever possible.

Vaccine Mandates don't work. People have the right to decline taking them. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Stop
