oThis morning I opened my email to see that I was granted an exemption from my employers requirement of the Covid-inspired mRNA injectable product.
I need to thank this community as I could not have done it on my own.
Over the last month or so I copied a piece from a post here, a segment from someone's comment there and was able to craft an assertion of religious objection that was well sourced, accurate, and most importantly - true to my sincerely held beliefs as a Christian.
I work at a University in the Northeast US which is extremely leftwing, some of our top administrators actually openly worked for the Biden/Harris campaign and all our leadership donates bigly to left wing extremist house/senate members.
So, I was fully expecting my application to be denied, but by the grace of God it was accepted and I will not be losing my job due to my un-injected status.
I am however aggressively looking for a new non-jabby job because f*ck them for attempting this in the first place.

EDIT: To answer some questions. My school had a deadline of the end of August so I submitted last week to give me some time to bail if denied.
I do not have a copy of what exactly was written as it went into an online form and I did not back it up onto a word doc or anything. It was brief and essentially I said that I was a Christian and taking an injection that has or uses fetal cell tissues goes against my sincerely held beliefs. I don't remember the link now but it can be searched for that shows which ones have it in the shot and which ones used fetal cells in the testing phase. I didn't quote any Bible verses or anything like that since I learned from videos I saw that it is not necessary, the only requirement you need is that you have a sincerely held religious belief so the less you say the better.
Still, the abortion is the sine qua non. Without the murdered baby, you would not have the vaccine. It is in the causal chain and will still make you complicit in the murder of the child for using the vaccine.
It's the same thing as the ancients did, killing a child to obtain some material blessing, or in our case, killing a child and benefiting from its genetic material.
Well, the children were not killed in order to obtain their genetic material. All fetal cell lines (to my knowledge) originate from two abortions, which were done electively, not for the purposes of creating vaccines. A retinal cell was taken from one aborted fetus, and a kidney cell from the other. This was back in the 70's and 80's.
So, another perspective would be that as evil as you think abortions are, these abortions didn't happen to create the vaccine, so really, we're making the best of a bad situation.
For what it's worth, I hope that you never end up with hypothermia, because pretty much everything we know about how to effectively treat hypothermia comes from Nazi experiments where they froze prisoners and then tried different ways to fix them.
It's definitely an interesting ethical debate. Not one in which I'm interested in convincing you of anything, but definitely worth thinking about.
I get what you are saying.
"Making the best out of a bad situation" is a slippery slope. Especially knowing that still today fetal tissue is bought and sold to the highest bidder. And who knows really what these companies actually use. We are lied to all the time.
Either way many religions do not eat pig of hoven animals.
I do not eat, inject, or smear dead people on my face, in my vein, or into others.
That's my line.
Whatever the case may be dicking around with mRNA is going to cause all sorts of issues like mtRNA leaks and more.
If people understood basic biology they would be running out to catch COVID as often as possible instead of of taking some near-sighted "Maybe this could help me" genetic therapy from a company that is %100 protected from Liability.
It's hard for me to fathom how ANYONE can see the progression of vaccine liability since the 1980s and feel anywhere near comfortable after we have seen the innards of the VIOXX FDA approvals and more.
No.
