The COVID-19 pandemic

Interesting factoid, relevant to the question of what vaccine exemptions are legitimate:

https://www.axios.com/marines-discharged...271b1.html

“To date, approximately 3,247 requests for religious accommodations concerning the vaccine have been made by Marine Corps members. Zero requests have been approved, according to a Marine Corps communications officer.”

This is the approximate percentage of religious exemption requests I would have expected to be legitimate.

(although putting on my “parsing official statements very carefully” hat, I note that they didn’t say anything about how many requests have been rejected)

I have to wonder on what basis they are seeking for a religious exemption? The vaccines doesn't contain: blood and/or blood by-products/fractions, pork, fetus tissue, etc.

Strange that some ask for a religious exemption while serving war type operations.

Church of the grasping at straws?
