My name is Miriam Moylan. I want to testify against the directive from the Department of Public Safety director, Max Otani on August 12, 2021, regarding"Vaccination and Mandatory Testing for County and State Employees". This directive was issued to implement Governor Ige's Emergency Proclamation,dated August 5, 2021. If State or County or First Responder workers are not fully vaccinated,they are subject to weekly COVID-19 testing which requires them to provide every Monday prior to the start of their work hour a proof of a negative test result. If they do not comply, they can be deemed to be insubordinate and shall be subject to immediate termination. Employees who are fully vaccinated are not required to have this weekly testing. The"Vaccine Status Attestation Form" is a violation of anyone's right to privacy, protected by the Constitution. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects workers from employment discrimination based on their color, race, sex, religion, national origin, or protected activity. This is not about being vaccinated or unvaccinated. I personally chose not to be vaccinated as the COVID-19 vaccines are not FDA approved and still in the clinical trial. I support anyone who chooses to get vaccinated. There has been proof that whether you are fully vaccinated or not vaccinated you still can contract and transmit COVID-19. There have been multiple people that I know and work with professionally and personally who are fully vaccinated and have gotten ill with COVID- 19. There have been people who have died from receiving the COVID-19 vaccines. Vaccinated or unvaccinated,we should all be subject to testing only if we are showing symptoms. This is about our freedom of choice. This is an unnecessary mandate. The requirements that the unvaccinated must undergo,just to maintain theirjobs is inherently unlawful and unjust.
