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.

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