1. RELIGIOUS REASON FOR SEEKING VACCINATION EXEMPTION



There are many factors that, altogether, have helped me come to the conclusion that I DO NOT wish to get jabbed with the COVID-19 vaccination. In good conscience, as a practicing Catholic, there are numerous concerns I have with this particular “vaccine.” I would like to point out that 48 of 50 states currently allow for both medical and religious exemptions for parents who wish to abstain from having their children vaccinated as a requirement for school attendance, while the remaining two, Mississippi and West Virginia, offer only medical exemptions.



To begin with, I consider myself to be Pro-life, meaning that I value the dignity and worth of each human being conceived in the womb, from conception at fertilization, to birth and a natural death, believing, as my Catholic Faith teaches, that every human being is made in the image and likeness of God. As such, I believe no one has any right to use another human being as a commodity for research, exploitation, or for any other reason, even if science should make the claim that humanity could possibly benefit from doing so. In the case of both the developmental and/or manufacturing processes of the COVID vaccine, human embryotic fetal cells were used, without exception. That means whether it’s Moderna, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, EVERY ONE was produced and/or tested with cell lines from aborted babies. In order for a cell line to grow, which is necessary for massive vaccine production, it had to be taken from a child while that child was still alive! This is completely unacceptable to me! While it may be true that some of those cell lines come from babies that were aborted even years ago, the fact remains clear to me that it is no less an unjustified act to use old lines as it is to use the more recent ones, which were still at least six years ago.



Secondly, as a young 20-year-old woman, I hope one day to have a husband and family, if that is what God calls me to. I believe, as the Catholic Church teaches, that the family is the bedrock and foundation of society. As Pope John Paul II said in Familiaris Consortio (The Fellowship of the Family)once said, “The future of the world and of the Church passes through the family.” It is in the heart of the home where it is realized that “one’s value is of divine origen, where unconditional respect for the dignity of the child is communicated.“ Consequently, as a possible future mother, I am greatly concerned with always being in good health and avoiding anything that would jeopardize that, especially when it comes to someone urging me to take some action that might endanger my fertility. And that is exactly what would likely happen by taking the COVID vaccine, as indicated by numerous doctors. Petitions were even filed in Europe to stop human trials of the vaccines because of improper and rushed testing, indicating they could prevent the formation of a placenta in a pregnant woman. Doing so “would result in vaccinated women essentialy becoming infertile,” since the newly conceived child could not live without receiving nutrients and oxygen from the placenta. This, it seems to me, is a foolish risk I would rather not take.



2. AM I OPPOSED TO ALL VACCINATIONS?

IF NOT, WHY AM I OPPOSED TO THE COVID -19 VACCINATION?

I got the Pfizer vaccine. I'd rather be safe than sorry and it means that I don't have to wear one of those stupid masks anymore when I go out. I'm fine. Really, I am. I haven't become a transgender leftist or anything as a result of getting the vaccine. I'm still me and still hold the same positions I did before I got it. It hasn't controlled my mind and there is no "microchip" in me, magnets are not sticking to my arms.

People who don't want to get the COVID19 vaccine are usually not wanting to get it because it's seen as "submitting" to the whims of the democrat party rather than keeping yourself safe from a disease that has killed plenty of people around the world within the past year.

But I'm not telling people to get the vaccine. You do whatever is right for you according to your doctor. For some people the vaccine may not be the right option, for others it could be imperative that they get it. Again only you and your doctor know whether getting the vaccine is right for you, but don't not get it just because the democrats want you to. That's dumb.
