    That reporter is going to find out that the next station also won't give the religious exemption.

    Areas that aren't under fascist regimes don't have mandates. Not sure what part of Texas your in but if your not in a big city you should be fine.

    Probably an illegal mandate at that.

    Curious: What religion(s) forbid immunization/vaccination? Does anyone know? I was looking into this out of honest curiosity and wasn't able to find any major religions that support the idea of "religious exemption from vaccinations."

    Christian Scientists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Amish and Scientologists

    "Scientology: in an interview for BeliefNet, Rev. John Carmichael of the Church of Scientology stated that there are no precepts or strictures about vaccinations within Scientology." (https://www.vumc.org/health-wellness/news-resource-articles/immunizations-and-religion) - though Scientology may still be recognized as a cult and not have full religious status in the US.

    "Generally, Jehovah’s Witnesses have adopted a somewhat neutral stance to vaccinations. In 1931, their members were prohibited from receiving any vaccinations. However, in 1952, leaders in the Church stated that vaccination 'does not appear to us to be in violation of the everlasting covenant made with Noah, as set down in Genesis 9:4, nor contrary to God’s related commandment at Leviticus 17:10-14.'"

    "Church members are free to make their own choices on all life-decisions, in obedience to the law, including whether or not to vaccinate. These aren’t decisions imposed by their church." (https://www.christianscience.com/press-room/a-christian-science-perspective-on-vaccination-and-public-health)

    "Christian Scientists and the Dutch Reformed Church ― have demonstrated a precedent of widely rejecting vaccinations, but even these are not explicitly laid out in their doctrine." (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/heres-where-major-religions-actually-stand-on-vaccines_n_58dc3ef0e4b08194e3b71fc4)

    "While their religious beliefs don’t forbid them to get vaccines, the Amish are generally less likely to be vaccinated..." (https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/amish-put-faith-gods-herd-immunity-vaccine-78536983)

    So even in smaller, more secluded religions, such as the Amish, there seems to be no doctrine that forbids or rejects vaccinations or immunizations.

    Still, Christian Nationalism isn't a religion. It's a sect of Christianity with a strong focus on internal politics that has even been called "heresy" by some Christians.

    Where I'm at they are doing it! Met my good friends fiancé for the first time a week ago and she brought a friend to dinner. Her friend is a registered nurse and she is being forced to either be vaccinated or gets fired/let go. That $hit ain't right!

    Her friend is a liar. Every nurse, doctor, scientist and person with a brain lined up for their vaccinations as soon as possible.

    Most the nurses at my wife's hospital are not vaccinated. I know your being facetious but it just goes to show you.

    Muslims don't allow the consumption of gelatin or something like that, or vaccines made from some sort of stem cell. Apparently most vaccines have some sort of gelatinous material in them, and one of them specifically is made from human stem cells....maybe all of them.

    I have a Muslim kid who works for me who is working on a waiver from the Air Force to not get the vaccine.

    The nurse should just quit, because all the other hospitals in the country don't require the vaccine to work there 🙄

    If you want to work in a hospital or in the NBA, you have to get a shot. That's just the way it is.

    If you want to work for a freight company, you need a CDL.

    If you want to be a cop, you can't shoot up heroin.

    There are just some jobs that have some requirements. Everyone can settle down now.

    One quarter of them? Or one quarter of a percent? Might also be "glorious" If they required vaccination at the hospital as a condition of going to the emergency room for covid symptoms.

    Well... my Aunt is a registered nurse in Colorado, single parent has to take care of her Autistic son and she had cancer and doesn't want the vaccine in her body so she's just so post to quit and her son Franklin starves, boys already 400lbs, he's gotta eat.

    Bro what you want me to tell you? If you're working in a hospital, they're going to make you get a shot. It's just that simple. The whole I had cancer thing sometime in my life or 6 months ago or last week is only valid if a doctor says it's valid. Hospitals are run by doctors. There should be plenty that can either grant her an exception or refuse the exception. If they refuse her the exception then she has to take the shot. I doubt they would give her medical advice to get a shot that is not in the best interests of her health.

    Of course, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, so there's that...

    My point is, there’s a labor shortage in all markets and all professions. Why make it worse. If the numbers are really as low as you say a tenth of a percent in healthcare that aren’t vaccinated then it’s not enough to make a difference and should not honestly matter then. People at least need the illusion of free will, forcing a mandate is a bonehead idea.

    I guess my point is that every job....every part of our lives...have mandates, and I feel like we (antivaxxers) only have a problem with THIS mandate THIS time because THIS president gave it. Had Trump given it, which he 100 percent would have had he been reelected, all the sheep would have lined up with their arms out (my pure speculation).

    My other point is that mandates exist everywhere. The very first unfunded federal mandate was the emancipation proclamation. I think we all agree that's a good one.

    You are mandated to have car insurance. Stop at stop signs. Your job has mandates too. In mine for me. I'm not allowed to smoke weed. I have to get vaccinated to keep my job. I have to have good credit and swear allegiance to the United States. Those are my mandates.

    You know what I say to the federal civil servants (34 of them) who work directly for me? I told them: "It's a requirement. If you don't do it, you can't work here. I hope you'll get the sho and I hope you stay, but if you don't, you will go."

    It's not the end of the world. They all got the shot.

    Isn't all those work mandates things you can't do or consume? A little different when someone tells you you have to consume something to keep your job. Especially when all those nurses worked covid patients for a year and a half without it.
