The Biden administration’s war on the unvaccinated Americans continues to be exposed.
Human Events Senior Editor Jack Posobiec obtained exclusive audio showing DOJ attorney Marty Lederman on a White House call trying to tell them how to combat religious exemptions from employees.

White House officials don’t care about religious exemptions from vaccine mandates, and they don’t think people who bring religious exemptions from vaccine mandates are “sincere” in their beliefs.
In the leaked call, Lederman advises that in “cases, for instance in the New York case that’s currently going on against the State of New York, the Thomas More Society is representing a bunch of doctors and nurses who claim that they would sin gravely in cooperation with the evil of abortion. How would they be doing so? The claim is that all three of the current vaccines, either have fetal cells that were obtained by abortions in the vaccine itself, or in the case of Pfizer and Moderna that those vaccines were tested using fetal cells that had been aborted, and even the connection to the previous testing, makes them cooperative with evil in a way that their religion prohibits.
“I don’t want to say anything too categorical but I believe that this claim will be very difficult for agencies to successfully claim that’s either insincere or not religious, even if it is. Even if we know that many of those claims are not sincere, or are sincere but not religions, this is the most common behavior you’re going to confront probably, and it’s likely that you will have to take as a given the employee’s claim.
“Not always, right, but one response that some hospitals have started to give is, ‘well do you know that Tylenol, and Tums, and Preparation H, those were all tested using aborted fetal cell lines, too.’ And I expect that employees will then say ‘well I didn’t know that, but now that you tell me that and I’ll stop using those products as well.’
"Not always, right, but one response that some hospitals have started to give is, 'well do you know that Tylenol, and Tums, and Preparation H, those were all tested using aborted fetal cell lines, too.' And I expect that employees will then say 'well I didn't know that, but now that you tell me that and I'll stop using those products as well.'
"And then we will turn to the, 'what does the government have to do once the employee makes that shown.' And here, basically there is a compelling interest, obviously, in keeping our workforce and the public with which we interact safe from COVID."
Posobiec dug into this, noting that the administration doubts the sincerity of Americans' faith in claiming that they are so opposed to abortion that they do not want to benefit from aborted cells. In fact, it's not just that they don't think Americans are sincere in their beliefs, but to the extent that they may be, the administration seeks to find a way around those faith-based assertions.

The issue of abortion and Catholicism has been hotly contested since Biden took office, since the Catholic president has claimed that he is pro-abortion. The Washington Post went so far as to say that Catholics who oppose abortion are "right wing."
When asked about the President's stance on abortion, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed that his faith was personal, and could not answer as to how he reconciled his religious views with his progressive, pro-abortion stance.
"Joe Biden is a strong man of faith and as he noted just a couple of days ago, it's personal. He goes to church nearly every weekend. He even went when we were on our overseas trip. But it's personal to him, he doesn't see it through a political prism, and we're not going to comment on the inner workings of the Catholic Church," Psaki said. This after some US Catholic Bishops called for the president to be denied the Eucharist on account of his public pro-abortion position. Advertisement
In addition to seeking to undermine Americans' religious liberty as regards choosing whether to take the vaccine or not, this administration has sought to force Catholic hospitals to perform sex-change surgeries and treat gender dysphoric patients with "gender-affirming" care.

Human Events Daily drops leaked audio of Biden admin official

Leftist be hating on Christians
I question the sincerity of the claim that it’s about health care.
SPJNK
Are we due for a Biden sponsored Religious Inquisition?
“Please appear before The Panel to state your case.
Bring all attending paperwork, donation receipts and documentation of Church attendance for the last eight years.
Thou shall not murder is a very faithfully observed commandment.
The refusal to put blood money into the temple treasury is a rational religious belief, as is the refusal to put the fruit or product of murdered baby cells into one’s body.
It is my belief that Covaxin is an effective Covid vaccine not tainted by the cells of murdered babies.
This used to be a free country.
Freedom of religion was protected.
Too bad NONE of our elected or appointed would stand for the Constitution on Usurpation Day.
The Human Right to say “no” exemption is the only exemption I need.
See Amendment 4 for clarity on that. See DoI for how I got that right.
See you in hades if you try to violate it. :)
In July and August the cruise lines had religious exemptions for the unvaccinated ‘sincerely held religious beliefs’
But by September they had dropped that exemption even though it’s required by law
Now there’s just exemptions for children under 12 and medical with a doctors letter
Mr./Mrs. Leftist, would you like me to continue to observe Commandment #6?
By requiring Covid vaccination (which can only be done using a fetal cell-related Covid vaccine) to care for Medicare/Medicaid patients, Joe Biden has set up a “religious test” for the “public trust” of caring for federally-funded patients.
Article VI of the Constitution specifies that “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”
A nurse could file a federal suit under Amendment XIV, Section 3 to remove Joe Biden for rebelling against Article VI of the Constitution. Courts have enforced Section 1 of Amendment XIV for decades and clearly should be able to enforce Section 3 too.
Even unrepentant sinners can run Biden out of office for violating Article VI.
Many will crow, as per ‘Roe’:
“My body, my choice”
You have one more choice, ‘rats.
Talk about living in one's own reality????

Justice Benjamin Cardozo [later of the Supreme Court] wrote in the [New York] Court’s opinion:
Every human being of adult years and sound mind has a right to determine what shall be done with his own body; and a surgeon who performs an operation without his patient’s consent commits an assault for which he is liable in damages. This is true except in cases of emergency where the patient is unconscious and where it is necessary to operate before consent can be obtained.

Thanks for posting, but this article has a poor title, and misses the importance of the recorded call.
The importance is, the top DOJ lawyer admitted that per the US Constitution religious exemptions DO exist, and MUST be respected.
However, he is admitting THAT is not what they intend to argue. They intend to attack the credibility of those claiming such exemptions, instead.
The Oviedo Convention of 1997
‘An intervention in the health field may only be carried out after the person concerned has given free and informed consent to it. This person shall beforehand be given appropriate information as to the purpose and nature of the intervention as well as on its consequences and risks. The person concerned may freely withdraw consent at any time.’
“The Council of Europe approved the Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine (Oviedo Convention) in 1997. Although this Convention is only enforceable for European countries which have signed it[France+smaller Euporean countries], it provides useful guidance for the correct interpretation and application of the principle of informed consent, considering that it is not only a binding international treaty, but also that it sets forth established rules of interpretation in the field.”
