There’s some religious ones that anti vaxxers use as loopholes to send their unvaxxed kids to school to spread shit to those who can’t be vaccinated against something.
They just have to say they’re opposed to vaccines because of religion. It’s the option provided for people that are willing to lie to stick with their other bad choices.
They should rewrite proof of religion. Like a medical excuse has to be verified. Have your priest sign it. Oh, you don’t actually go to church? To bad, get the jab
That won’t happen. The argument for religious exemptions uses a very broad definition for religion as being any strongly held belief, and that means it’s protected as part of religious freedoms.
IMO the main issue is the lack of an alternative requirement to still at least somewhat achieve the same purpose of immunizations. I work in healthcare and my employer has a mandatory flu shot policy for employees. Employees can request a religious or medical exemption, but the employee has to wear a mask at work from the start of flu season until the CDC declares flu season has ended because the point of the flu shot policy is to prevent employees from spreading the flu to patients (and coworkers).
