Can I apply for a deployment on MOBCOP while pending for a religious exemption to be approved?

No, you are non-deployable if you have not received your COVID vaccine. There’s also a 99.99% chance a religious exemption will be approved as there have been ZERO approved in the DOD.

99.99% a religious exemption will be denied.

Just a random question here - did you ask for a religious exemption when you were required to get Varicella, MMR, Hep A, or Rabies? You might not have received rabies yet, but you'll need it when you deploy.... They're all made with fetal stem cell lines.

Are you against using albuterol, aspirin, ibuprofen, Tylenol, Pepto Bismol, Tums, Lipitor, Senokot, Motrin, Maalox, Ex-Lax, Benadryl, Sudafed, Preparation H, Claritin, Prilosec, or Zoloft? They were tested using fetal stem cell lines.

If your mother had cystic fibrosis would you have a religious exemption against the medicine to treat it because it's made from fetal stem cell lines?

If your father had an autoimmune disease would you be against the drug to treat it for the same reason?

If your grandmother had Parkinsons would you be against research for a treatment because it uses fetal stem cells?

Testing of the vaccines was done using stem cells from fetuses that were aborted about 50 years ago. Stem cell lines are used in medical research and testing all the time. There are many valid medical reasons for a mother to choose or be forced to need an abortion. These mothers donated the fetuses so that their tissue could save the lives of others. Research with stem cell lines is neither uncommon nor controversial. If COVID hadn't become a political hot button at the start of the pandemic you would be getting your covid shot just like you got your Hep A and MMR shot, and like you'll get your rabies shot before you deploy. Just like you'll take your motrin and Tylenol when your body hurts, or you'll take you Sudafed and Claritin when your sinuses are stuffed up - also tested on old stem cell lines.

SPC Private RallyPoint Member I am genuinely curious as to your reasoning behind requesting a religious exemption. I have had a few conversations with Soldiers over the past few months regarding medical and religious exemption requests and found many different logic processes. I feel like having these conversations helps my understanding about motivation and where Soldiers are getting their values, convictions, and information from.

Uh you probably need to concentrate on making plans for life after being discharged from the army because that is coming soon.
