Covid Vaccines and Pilots

Got sent sent this link today. Airline Pilots Fight For Safety
Seems to me to be a typical click bait beat up, particularly when I see a certain ex Qantas pilot quoted.
Australia’s Graham Hood, a former Qantas airline pilot and now motivational speaker, has provided a list of incidents within the airline industry in Australia that had either been sent to him or involved people he knew personally.
This gem really put the whole article in perspective.
To date, we are aware that only approximately 300 medical exemptions have been issued nationwide for covid vaccines. As we understand is the case with Air NZ, those pilots who were to get medical exemptions would still be faced with job loss or indefinite leave without pay as any medical condition to receive such an exemption would preclude them from holding an aviation medical.
How can someone lose their job as a pilot when they have a medical condition preventing them from holding a medical to start with? What Einstein wrote this?
