圣何塞警察因强制疫苗而辞职！议员担心会有更多人辞职！
（NBC）San Jose Cop Quits Over Vaccine Mandate; Councilman Concerned About More Resignations
圣何塞警察因疫苗强制令而辞职;议员担心有更多的人辞职
A San Jose police officer who spent more than a decade on the job said he has resigned because of the city's COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
圣何塞一名任职10多年的警官表示，他已经辞职，因为该市对COVID-19疫苗的命令。
There are concerns that others will follow Officer Jonathan Koenig, prompting a city councilman to ask for changes to the mandate to prevent a possible exodus.
有人担心其他人会效仿Jonathan Koenig警官，这促使一名市议员要求对授权进行修改，以防止可能出现的人员外流。
Koenig's last day on the job was Monday.
科尼格的最后一天工作是星期一。
"The main reason was the vaccine mandate," he said. "That was the final straw. If San Jose PD was the greatest department to work for in the entire world and they imposed this mandate, I still would have left."
“主要原因是疫苗的强制令，”他说。这是最后一根稻草。如果圣何塞警察局是全世界最值得为之工作的部门，而且他们强制执行这项任务，我还是会离开的。”
Koenig said he refuses to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
克尼格表示，他拒绝接种新冠病毒疫苗。
"This should be a choice," he said.
“这应该是一个选择，”他说。
He said he applied for a religious exemption and eventually got one. It required him to test twice a week, something he said proved challenging.
他说，他申请了宗教豁免，最终得到了豁免。这要求他每周测试两次，他说这已经很难了。
"During the holiday season, the average wait time to get a COVID test was an hour and a half," he said. "So you had officers and other city employees that were waiting in these lines for an hour and a half twice a week just to get tested on our own dime and own time."
他说:“在假期期间，接受COVID检测的平均等待时间是一个半小时。”“所以，警察和其他市政工作人员每周两次排一个半小时的队，只是为了用我们自己的钱和自己的时间接受检测。”
After months of testing, he decided to quit and move to Idaho.
经过几个月的测试，他决定辞职并搬到爱达荷州。
Councilman Raul Peralez fears the city's mandate will prompt more resignations.
议员劳尔·佩拉莱斯担心，市政府的命令将导致更多的人辞职。
"I do fear that. In fact, I've heard that concern from a number of police officers and actually other city employees as well," he said.
“我确实担心这一点。事实上，我从一些警察和其他市政雇员那里听到了这种担忧。”
Those concerns are growing now that the city has implemented a booster mandate and extended the deadline to Feb. 25.
现在，这些担忧越来越多，因为该市已经实施了一项推动措施，并将最后期限延长至2月25日。
The city said 50 employees, including 33 police department employees, have applied for exemptions from the booster mandate.
该市表示，50名员工，其中包括33名警察部门员工，已经申请豁免强制加强针。
Peralez is asking the city council to transition from a vaccine and booster policy to a mandatory testing policy where all employees must be tested, except those with proof of a vaccine and booster.
佩拉雷斯要求市议会从疫苗和加强剂政策过渡到强制测试政策，所有员工都必须接受测试，但那些有疫苗和加强剂证明的员工除外。
"That would be the same outcome," Peralez said. "It would just now eliminate that process of needing to qualify hundreds of individuals on religious or medical exemptions, going through a process that, as of last week, I don't believe was working very well and could have again potentially put us, I think, in jeopardy of losing a significant number of city employees."
“这将是同样的结果，”佩拉雷斯说。“这将使数百名个人不再需要获得宗教或医疗豁免的资格。就在上周，我认为这一任务运行得不太好，可能再次让我们处于失去大量市政雇员的危险中。”
The city issued the following statement: "The City of San Jose’s goal is to have a highly vaccinated and boosted workforce to ensure the health and safety of our employees, while maintain
圣何塞市发布了以下声明:“圣何塞市的目标是加强接种疫苗，并增加劳动力，以确保我们员工的健康和安全，同时保持为我们的社区提供服务的能力。”
