There’s very very few religions that actually have in their doctrine anything that would forbid vaccines. The only 2 I can think of are Church of Christ Scientists and the Dutch Reformed. Both of which also discourage a wide array of medical procedures.

There is no COVID-19 exception to the First Amendment. There is no military exclusion from our Constitution.” Service members get a ton of vaccines upon entry into boot camp than any civilian does and they aren't optional, so why should this be any different? Nothing but the right making a pandemic political and prolonging it in the process. Ol Eddie Gallagher

Texas Judge Blocks Navy From Acting Against 35 COVID Vaccine RefusersA federal judge in Texas has granted a preliminary injunction stopping the Navy from acting against 35 sailors for refusing on religious grounds to comply with an order to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Military courts have exclusive authority over military crimes. Some examples of military crimes include: mutiny. sedition. failure to obey an order, and. insubordinate conduct. Their refusal to obey an order to get vaccinated falls within SecDef ‘s authority not civil court. Of course the TEXAS Judge did because he is acting as on politics rather than medical. AND those USN knew exactly that they needed vaccinated when they joined in Texas cant eliminate itself from a FederalLaw - duh! Unless Texas isnt part of the USA anymore. What a bunch of NumNuts
