Many public school employees are exempt from getting vaccine

MARYSVILLE — In September, Ellen Muench began her 17th year working with students in Marysville public schools as a speech pathologist.

Weeks later, on Oct. 18, she was fired — a career paused, a six-figure salary gone.

She didn’t do anything wrong. It is what she wouldn’t do, or, as she explained to the School Board earlier this month, couldn’t do because of her beliefs. She did not get vaccinated against COVID-19, as mandated by the governor, or undergo random tests for the coronavirus, as required by the district of those with exemptions like hers to keep their jobs.

“Sorry, I’m a little emotional so you have to excuse me,” she said amid sobs during the Nov. 3 virtual session. “It’s hard for me to believe that I’ve been terminated for my beliefs. I was told I had a sincere religious belief, but I must submit to random COVID testing. Asking me to submit to testing when I do not have symptoms and I have not been exposed is discrimination.”

1. Your beliefs do NOT give you the right to infect others with a deadly virus. PERIOD!

2. I think the morons who claim religion as their excuse should

have to prove from passages ( yes, plural ) from their holy book that specifically tells them not to get medicines to save themselves and other humans.

These crappy people swear by their religious text so they need to prove it.

6. plus they should have turned down every vaccination since childhood

flu, tetanus, shingles etc. Not a vaccine by vaccine choice.

3. How do you know you haven't been exposed?

4. No one is forcing this loon to get vaccinated.

She has a religious objection to being tested in exchange for refusing the vaccine? I don’t get it.

5. Three choices

1. Vaccine
2. Weekly testing
3. Unemployment

7. I had a woman ask provider for exemption of vacc cause she has asthma. Provider said

back to the patient that would be the reason for her to get the vacc. No note.
