“Religious” exemption.

Can't wait to learn if he has been vaccinated against Measles, Mumps, Rubella...

“Religious” exemption.

I don't think they'll grant a religious exemption just because he said "God Darn it, I'm not getting vaccinated" 

Hahaha, TP

San Francisco will go with whatever the Warriors/NBA say apparently, so it depends how they want to enforce it.  Will they be like the hospital in Arkansas and ask people to assert they don’t use an array of common medications (such as Tylenol and Advil) that are connected to the fetal cell lines most people use as the basis of their religious exemption?  Or will the bar be less high to clear?

His choice just like everyone else..

Maybe Wiggins can use San Francisco’s mayor’s argument:

Quote

“My drink was sitting at the table,” said Breed. “I got up and started dancing because I was feeling the spirit and I wasn’t thinking about a mask.”

Don't feel as though you have to be micromanaged about mask wearing. Like, we don't need the fun police to come in and try and micromanage and tell us what we should or shouldn't be doing. We know what we need to do to protect ourselves

That is my biggest issue with mask mandates, often those instituting them don’t follow them. Rules for thee but not for me.

At this point, Wiggins does have the "right" to choose to be unvaccinated but if he makes that choice, he also has to accept the consequences.  In this case, his employer has determined that it is bad for business to have their star athletes catching and spreading the virus so they have exercised their right to require their employees to be vaccinated.

I don't think the NBA/Warriors should be forced to accept a religious exemption, even if it was real.  Say someone worked where it was necessary for cleanliness reasons to not have long hair or a beard.  If a person claimed that their religion didn't allow them to cut their hair or beard, should that company be forced to continue to employ that person?

Wiggins will be creating a less safe environment for other employees and customers.  Why should an employer be forced to accept that even if the religious objection is legitimate (which in most cases it probably isn't)?

And as to masks, they significantly reduce the spread of the virus from an infected person to the rest of the world.  Masks offer some limited protection for the person wearing the mask from getting infected.  I am surprised people are still poo-poo'ing masks.
