In a stinging rebuke of the military’s mandatory COVID vaccine enforcement policy, a federal district court judge in Florida has issued a temporary order preventing disciplinary action against two officers who refused the vaccine on religious grounds.
“The military is well aware of the frailty of their arguments in defense of their practices,” Federal District Court Judge Steven Merryday ruled in his Feb. 2 court order. “The record creates a strong inference that the services are discriminatorily and systematically denying religious exemptions without a meaningful and fair hearing.”

Or religious hypocrisy… kind of intersting to be religious for just the covid vaccines but they can take Tylenol (stem cells) and every other vaccine the mil gives us with much less public health impact, not to mention lacking support from every religion’s head but I’m just a dumb doc. Lol

COL (Join to see) Religion is a funny thing. And religious hypocrisy is a real thing. It is a hard thing to thread the needle with a religion based on recognizing you are a sinner while exhorting you to contrition and sinning no more. To your point, my Bishop is vax choice, 3rd Ward Bishop pushes vax, and any boosters. Wife's Padre is non commital, waits for the Pope, who is pro vax.
Your throw away is more interesting. Tylenol (ibuprofen) is stem cell derived? Meaning fetal stem cell? From aborted lines? Didn't know that.
Nice little self deprecation there at the end. As a possible future patient you have my word. I will follow your advice to the letter until I don't want to. :-))
