I’m sure it would be fought by both the company and the administrators of the policy, although the terms are so broad that it certainly gives someone willing to fight it a case. It would be different if the terms said that if you “lost your medical certificate due to a medical condition,” but it does not.
If you have a medical condition which precludes vaccination, that would be well-documented pre-covid, and there will be an exemption for that.
I don't think they'll let you go out on LTD, I think you'll just be exempt from vaccination... that's the way it's always worked in the past
If you try to fabricate such a condition, that's going to be harder especially if it suddenly popped up after a vaccine mandate and cannot be confirmed by clinical signs, blood work, etc.
