First I've ever heard of any religious objection to the vaccine. What are they, Christian Scientists?!

apparently not

The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has advised employers they can impose vaccine mandates on their employees. But the agency also said that claims of religious objections should typically not be disputed by an employer and should be "generally presumed or easily established."

Still, no major religious denomination is on record opposing vaccination, despite some individual clergy members who have raised objections.
Even the Christian Science Church, which teaches its members to use prayer rather than medicine to maintain their health in most cases, has not come out with a prohibition on the use of the vaccine by its adherents. It s statement calls for members to have "respect for public health authorities and conscientious obedience to the laws of the land, including those requiring vaccination."

this ruling is to get around the bogus idiots claiming some religious exemption that doesn't exist. fuck religion.
