GET ME REWRITE: Religion is the last refuge of a Covid scoundrel

 

New York Times, 9/11/2021

“My freedom and my children’s freedom and children’s children’s freedom are at stake,” said Ms. Holmes, who lives in Indiana. In August, she submitted an exemption request she wrote herself, bolstered by her own Bible study and language from sources online. Some vaccines were developed using fetal cell lines from aborted fetuses, she wrote, citing a remote connection to a practice she finds abhorrent. She quoted a passage from the New Testament: “Let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit.” 

Major religious traditions, denominations and institutions are essentially unanimous in their support of the vaccines against Covid-19.  [emphasis added]
