There are a few (very few!) medical exemptions I can understand for not getting the vaccine – if you are allergic to something in the vaccine, if you had a serious reaction/event after your first shot and, uhm, not much else?
But I’ve never understood being exempted on religious grounds.
Even if you believe in God/Allah/Santa/etc., what possible rationale would lead you to think that something in religion means you can’t take a lifesaving vaccine that protects you and others?
It’s also sad but not surprising to scroll through r/HermanCainAward (which is a sub-Reddit that collects stories of anti-vaxxers who end up getting Covid and dying) and seeing how many people didn’t believe in Covid *until* it got them who also happen to be people of faith and are suddenly begging for prayers and for god to save them – which, spoiler alert, never happens – at least in this sub-reddit.)
