ALBANY, New York (LifeSiteNews) — Healthcare workers in the state of New York ordered to get the COVID-19 jab will not have the option of a religious exemption, thanks to emergency authorization passed late last week.

In Thursday’s decision, a New York State Department of Health board unanimously approved a COVID-19 mandate for all New York healthcare personnel.

In passing the measure the board also scrubbed the option for a religious exemption, effectively forcing the more than 450,000 healthcare workers in the state to get the jab whether they have religious objections to the abortion-tainted injection or not.

They should all walk out. They'll paralyze the joint.

I don’t think the board has such power to start with.

This will set up another case where Amy Barrett and that Chief Justice fail to do the right thing. Maybe Kavanaugh, too.

In the other Washington former presidential hopeful”

Governor Jay Inslee’s office drafted an exemption form intended to disqualify as many staff as possible from avoiding his COVID vaccine mandate.

As written, if staff took an antacid from a doctor, it would disqualify them from receiving a religious exemption. In fact, the original intent was only to offer a religious exemption “if we have to.”

Inslee is forcing tens of thousands of Washington employees to receive the COVID vaccine, even if they don’t need it or want it yet.

The governor’s proclamation applies to state workers, health care workers, and school staff, regardless of age, risk factors, or recent COVID diagnosis. If they do not take the vaccine, they will lose their jobs and be ineligible for unemployment.

Employees can avoid the vaccine with a religious exemption. But emails reveal Inslee’s office drafted the policy to disqualify nearly everyone who seeks it. The policy shows a shocking animus towards religion.
