Religious Exemption for COVID-19 Vaccine?

Addendum October 7, 2021.

Fetal cells used in the development of the COVID-19 vaccine are a good reason for vaccine exemption.

If you are counting on an exemption based on your religious belief not to get the COVID-19 vaccine, you may want to check out this abstract from an article from The Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics from 2018. Highlights added.

Influenza mandates in health care institutions are recommended by professional associations as an effective way to prevent the contraction of influenza by patients from health care workers. Health care institutions with such mandates must operate within civil rights frameworks.

A recent set of cases against health care institutions with influenza mandates reveals the liabilities posed by federal law that protects employees from religious discrimination. This article examines this legal framework and draws important lessons from this litigation for health care institutions.

We argue counterintuitively that providing religious exemptions from influenza mandates may expose health care institutions to more liability than not providing a formal exemption.

It would be safe to assume that their recommendation for the influenza vaccine is the same as the COVID-19 vaccine.

Legal departments of health care institutions and the policy-making branch of the governments read The Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics.

A good example is the Memorandum from the National Governor’s Association regarding  Preparing for the COVID-19 Vaccine and Considerations for Mass Distribution on August 3, 2020, where they used the advice for mandatory vaccinations.

Health care institutions base their decisions on a risk-benefit analysis. Clearly, the recommendation of this article puts more weight on the (financial) liability of the health care institutions rather than honoring your deeply held personal religious beliefs.

I am not dissuading anyone from abandoning their deeply held spiritual beliefs but make sure you have a backup plan if your religious exemption is denied.

When judgment comes in the afterlife, what you did with your beliefs will decide where you will be for eternity.
