1. SUCH CRAP!

[Rhiannon12866]

2. I had wondered what any "religious exception" could possibly consist of

Pro illness?? Pro death?? Turns out that there isn't much there at all...

[elleng]

3. I think there's NOTHING there AT ALL.

Thanks that the Pope said as much:

4. I did see that and he's right, it's about not just protecting yourself, but others as well

And isn't that the "Christian" philosophy? So much for these evangelicals calling themselves "Christian."

[elleng]

7. Not that THEY know about the "Christian" philosophy.

The anti-vaxxers don’t give a shit what the Pope says.

[Rhiannon12866]

6. This has nothing to do with the pope, it's about those who are looking for any excuses

And calling it their "religion."

10. Well, people want to bring religious bullshit into the mess

Beginning of the piece mentions the Pope saying a vaccine is an act of love.

I am tired of the religion crap. Anti-vaxxers, left or right, will use any bullshit and religion is one of their tools. That being said, it is likely the RW anti-vaxxers who wield religion for this purpose likely do not give a shit about what the Pope says. I also would not be surprised if LW anti-vaxxers don’t give a crap either.

So big deal if the Pope said what he said. The anti-vaxxers don’t give a crap. Their selfish distorted worldview can’t include that. They are too busy wallowing in conspiracy because conspiracy is easier than thinking.

8. Because

The church has always fought for an individuals right to chose what they do with their body.

9. This has nothing to do with Catholic Church, it's a way out for people looking for excuses

The pope supports vaccinations.

11. "No jab, no job"

That's about the only thing that's going to work.

Maybe those wingnut preachers will hire them.

[Rhiannon12866]

12. These "wingnut preachers" are anything but "Christian"

I'm sure that they're cashing in, handing out these "religious exemptions." It's just a blessing that they don't seem to be working.

[Warpy]

13. YEah, we all noticed that.

Pity their congregations haven't figured it out yet.

14. "No jab, no job."

I like it - short and to the point.

15. Religious exemption? Really?

Are you already on record as opposing all vaccines in the past? No? Okay, then. No religious exemption for you.

16. How about a "religious exemption" from being admitted to a hospital if they get COVID?
