New note: Vatican employees might not be fired for COVID vaccine refusal,
after all
A decree signed in early February had indicated otherwise.

VATICAN CITY, February 19, 2021 (LifeSiteNews
<https://www.lifesitenews.com/>) — *Following the publication, on
Wednesday, of LifeSite’s story about the Vatican’s employees* *being
threatened with losing their jobs
<https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/vatican-city-state-issues-decree-suggesting-those-who-refuse-covid-vaccine-may-lose-their-jobs>**
if they refuse the COVID-19 experimental vaccine without a valid health
reason, many major online media* including Reuters and the BBC, as
well as Italian
sources such as RAINews
<https://www.rainews.it/dl/rainews/media/Vaticano-chi-rifiuta-il-vaccino-rischia-il-licenziamento-7d293e82-3fa3-4aa5-b5b2-4b1463e75112.html#foto-1>,
c*ame out with headlines this Thursday confirming that “anti-vaxxers” faced
being fired.*
*The news triggered many negative reactions on social media — so much so
that cardinal Giuseppe Bertello, governor of the Vatican City State who
signed the decree ordering compliance with anti-pandemic measures was
compelled to publish an official note on Thursday in response.*
The note said that for those who simply refuse the (experimental) vaccine,*
the new measures will “allow to find alternative solutions for the
performance of work by the person concerned.”*
As a matter of fact*, the decree signed February 8 by Cardinal Bertello *did
not provide for anything of the sort. It *only said that alternative tasks
would be found for workers who “for proven reasons of health” could not
receive the jab.*
*I*n its article 6 regarding employees, §1 provided for those who refuse
the vaccine for valid health reasons, while §2 referred those who “without
proven health reasons” would refuse to undergo vaccination to article 6 of
a previous Vatican City State law of November 18, 2011, that reads
<https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/labour_office/docs/documents/ulsa_b19_3_it.html>
(in full):
The refusal to undergo required preventive or periodic assessments and
mandatory health checks, as well as the refusal to undergo the continuation
of preventive, periodic or mandatory health checks that have already begun,
entail different degrees of consequences for employees, which may extend to
termination of employment. For candidates for employment, this is
equivalent to the renunciation of the establishment of an employment
relationship.
It can be argued that receiving a vaccine cannot be considered as a
“preventive assessment” or “health check,” but why, then, explicitly refer
to these provisions in relation with those who refuse the experimental
vaccine if they did not apply? And if they do, “termination” of the work
contract was clearly in the cards, and *there was no mention at all of
finding ways to protect the Vatican workers’ — some 5,000 individuals —
personal liberty and freedom of choice.*
Cardinal Bertello’ note looks very much like a form of damage control.
*Hopefully,
his backpedaling will ensure that Vatican employees will not be deprived of
their livelihoods for saying no to the “vaccine.”*
..........
However, article 6 of the 2011 law mentioned once again by Cardinal
Bertello only speaks of “different degrees of consequences” that may be
entailed by refusal to comply with health requirements, “up to the
termination of the employment relationship” — being fired, in plain
English. “Freedom of choice” and the “absence of repression” are nowhere to
be found in the 2011 text.
The eventuality of being fired was certainly not set aside by the
cardinal’s COVID-19 decree (because that is what it essentially is), whose
general form is that of a repressive, if not penal text, in that it
provides for administrative fines for all other transgressions of COVID-19
measures, and refers to possible job loss regarding the refusal of the
experimental jab.
*Cardinal Bertello’s note of clarification is reassuring — but it is merely
a note, and would not measure up to the strict interpretation of Vatican
State norms and the February 8 decree as they stand.*
*LifeSiteNews has produced an extensive COVID-19 vaccines resources page.
