I hate to place my doctors at risk. Especially since NY doesn't honor any medical exemptions. Vaccine passports are the only way to enter indoor facilities. So far grocery shopping, public transportation, and medical offices are not banned. So my strategy is just stay at home. Maybe I can get a vaccinated friend to shop for me if groceries are banned. I have several neighbors offering to shop for me. My therapist says the Supreme Court will invalidate any mandate that excludes food. He believes in vaccines, though, and is planning to get a booster shot in February. He offered to write me a medical exemption, but he is not a medical doctor, so it won't be honored. I think that the government will make more and more restrictions on exemptions. Today the NYTImes had a special section praising the efficacy of vaccine mandates. They published a lot of individual profiles interviewing people who finally decided to get vaccinated after being threatened with losing their jobs and livelihoods. One woman stated she felt terrified after she got Covid and recovered--so she ran out and got vaccinated right away to feel safe! Fear mongering has totally misled this woman. She is already 19 times (I don't remember the specific number) safer because she has natural immunity after recovery from Covid. She doesn't need to be vaccinated. Indeed, I have heard that people who have recovered from Covid are MORE likely to have adverse reactions. The Times seemed to be celebrating vaccine mandates because finally they are persuading "the deplorables" to come to Jesus and get the jab. TI consider it misinformation to publish this woman's decision to get vaccinated without also stating that vaccination confers zero benefit for those who already have natural immunity. I see so many lies published in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Funny Times, and TV news broadcasts. It's very easy to get triggered. Unvaccinated people are even described as suffering from mental illness. (I guess persecution will eventually drive us crazy.)
Factor V Leiden should definitely qualify as a medical exemption, Diana. For example, for young women who had this genetic condition, I would never prescribe birth control pills because to do so, may cause them to throw a clot. As it is, birth control pills do have that risk anyway. So, Factor V Leiden is a verifiable, sure-to-be-accepted Covid vaccine medical exemption I’d think. Cheers to you. So glad you have good neighbors and friends.
I have a doctor's appointment coming up in about 2 weeks. Based on your recommendations, I will ask him to test me for Leiden V and see if I can get a medical exemption. I had given up, but this forum is inspiring me with new strength.
Diana, it sounds like you’ve thought this through carefully and are approaching this pragmatically. We stopped going to the grocery store well over a year ago to avoid the nonsense and have been getting our groceries delivered from a combination of a local CSA, Thrive Market (https://thrivemarket.com/myaisle), ButcherBox (https://www.butcherbox.com/), Amazon, and other online stores as the need arises. I don’t know if you have Instacart (https://www.instacart.com/) there, but that has been a big help as well.
You are so right about the deluge of propaganda, and I wish more people were as knowledgeable and able to see through the lies as easily as you.
It is funny that those suffering from hypochondria, obsessive-compulsive disorder, paranoia, and mass delusion are accusing us of mental illness, but it is the sane who appear insane when lunacy is the status quo.
Take good care, whatever you decide, and keep us posted. Maybe start a Substack blog to share your journey?

Oh, good! There is a genetic blood test for several coagulopathies that I used to run on my patients, so I know it exists.
