Coast Guard Decried for ‘Modern-Day Inquisition’ Over Alleged Guidance on COVID Vaccine Religious Exemption Requests

Guidance allegedly issued by the U.S. Coast Guard on evaluating individuals who request an exemption from mandatory COVID-19 vaccination is being condemned as “a modern-day Inquisition.” . . .

Here are some excerpts from the draft guidance:

“It is important to provide context in the memo discussing the member’s belief. If they come to the meeting and begin by discussing concerns about safety, politics, etc., note that in the memo. Even if the member eventually states that it is a belief based on religion, note their first expression and how they moved from non-religious beliefs to religious ones. Note any comments made by the member that make it appear they are using the religious exemption as a ruse to avoid the vaccine.”

“Have the member describe how they consistently keep the tenets of their faith and demonstrate those in their daily life. Ask them to be as specific as possible. Put the specifics acts (or lack thereof) in the memo.”

“Ask what makes this refusal to be vaccinated against COVID-19 such an important part of their religion or their religious beliefs? If the member starts to speak about safety, political, or ethical concerns, as opposed to religious concerns, note that in the memo.”
