I remember when I was in the Air Force and they lined us all up in Basic Training and gave us a ton of shots. No one asked then what was in them.

He said he didn’t wish to take the vaccine due to his religion, Christianity. When asked to show where in *The Holy Bible* that vaccines or viruses are even mentioned, much less states Christians shouldn’t be vaccinated, he was unable to do so. Imagine that. He got to go all the way to the Supreme Court with some bullshit he made up that had no basis in fact recorded or implied anywhere in 2 millennia of the Christianity religion.

Seems like someone forgot that when you’re a military member, they own your mind, body, soul, and asshole. You do what you’re ordered to do or you get sent home. That includes getting shots. You can bet this asshole has had dozens of shots while serving including the day he arrived at boot camp. Fucking covidiots.

From the article: > Dunn instead cited a speech given by Joe Biden that led him to conclude that “the vaccine ceased to be merely a medical invention [*intervention?*] and took on a symbolic and even sacramental quality”. On the face of it, it seems like Justices Gorsuch, Thomas, and Alito would carve out a Constitutional exception under the 1st Amendment for simply saying something feels like a religious rite without the existence of any explicit “religiosity” involved. If Joe Biden, Anthony Fauci, or anyone else associated with our nation’s continued efforts to reduce the harmful impact of the coronavirus had ever publicly said, “The American people must take this vaccine to symbolize our national devotion to Ba’al and our commitment to further His divine glory!”, or something similar, then perhaps there would be cause for consideration. Instead, it seems to expose a thought process that views opposition to any and all actions and goals of the Democrats as rising to the level of a spiritual imperative, simply because it is coming from the political Left. I am interested in reading the opinions of these dissenting Justices on this matter to see how they attempt to justify their opinion.

Wow. This guy had an extra special basis for his religious exemption request. > Dunn instead cited a speech given by Joe Biden that led him to conclude that “the vaccine ceased to be merely a medical invention and took on a symbolic and even sacramental quality”.
