Spokane Public Schools approved and accommodated every single religious exemption request made by its employees.
More than 350 pages of exemption requests came from Spokane Public School employees and 4 News Now dug through them. The requests listed their belief in God and bodily autonomy as reasons for not getting the shot.
Requests from employees included letters from their pastors. Most cited a pro-life stance. The majority of worker statements said aborted fetal cells are used in the vaccines and their production. They believe getting the vaccine would go against God.
Jesse Erasmus is an assistant professor at the University of Washington who specializes in the development of RNA vaccines and therapeutics. Erasmus said Johnson & Johnson used aborted fetal cells in production. However, it is a cell line from the 1980s that has been used in research for decades.
“That cell line has been used in research ever since. So, one of the things you can do is immortalize the cell line, and use them over, and over again you just expand them, and they propagate and grow, and so you can use these cells over and over again. It’s not like Johnson & Johnson has to abort a fetus every time they want to produce a new batch of vaccines,” Erasmus said.
Moderna and Pfizer used fetal cell lines in testing from a 1973 abortion in the Netherlands in research. However, none were used in the final product. RNA vaccines such as Moderna and Pfizer are generated in a cell free process. This means they don’t use any type of cell, let alone from an aborted fetus.
“You might find in a research paper where researchers were doing an initial study, so they took the RNA vaccine, and they might’ve put it into a cell line that maybe came from an aborted fetus just to generate some data to say that its producing a desired protein, but that cell line is not used in the production, so whatever is going into your body is hasn’t come anywhere near an aborted fetus tissue,” he said.
Erasmus said mandates are a public health measure, not an individual health measure.
“The government is not trying to force us to be vaccinated to protect ourselves–it’s a public health mandate in that we need to be vaccinating individuals so that we can protect the population at a whole, and I think that the hard part individual freedoms are what’s not at question. Its more about public health freedoms,” he said.
how is this public?
“...and 4 News Now dug through them.”
Why?
I live in Washington, if they are so concerned about public health, the should denounce homosexual behavior and sexual relationships out of marriage.
What a bunch of bunk ping.
Its more about public health freedoms,
No such thing!
Why do you say that? The school district has approved every exemption request.
The city in Washington where my brother is a firefighter-paramedic is also approving all exemption requests.
Because of this .... (Jesse Erasmus is an insensitive dolt).....
Erasmus said mandates are a public health measure, not an individual health measure.

Awesome that they approved, unreal that we’re having to deal with statements like this Erasmus tool.
Thing is the “why” is irrelevant. Muslims do not have to “explain” why they do not eat Pork, or get letters from clergy. Their beliefs cannot be “tested and questioned” just because they do happen to eat other foods and Pork is also just a food.
“Ever eat ANY food? Then you cannot refuse to eat Pork too”.
“Ever drive a car? Then you cannot refuse to drive this lemon”.
“Ever take ANY medication? Then you cannot refuse this one”.
This is the deceptive fraud they are pulling.
Like that makes any difference.
My shot doesn't work unless you get the same shot that doesn't work so that they all work.
smh. People are sliding down the left side of the bell curve.
Great points!
It's still fruit of the poisonous tree.
First purge will kill leftists in competing power structures.
Religious exemption list will be killed in the third or fourth purge.
New Evidence For Infanticide In The Creation Of The Fetal Cell Line Used For Covid Vaccine Testing
Yes, Good Points.
Requests from employees included letters from their pastors. Most cited a pro-life stance. The majority of worker statements said aborted fetal cells are used in the vaccines and their production. They believe getting the vaccine would go against God.”
If this is “digging” it is very shallow and not very informative. Given the space devoted to discounting these “sincerely held religious beliefs” - it is a rather duplicitous exercise.
Why would any HR department turn over these personnel documents? This would appear both unethical and illegal.
