To Whom It May Concern:

RE: My Religious Exemption to the COVID-19 Vaccine

I am writing to formally and respectfully apply for a religious exemption to immunizations. I ask that this application be kept 100% confidential as it contains thoughts and sentiments not shared in casual conversation.

I am a Christian who believes in the New Testament, which teaches that, “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are...What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? I Corinthians 3:16-17, 6:19 (KJV). Accordingly, I believe, pursuant to my Christian faith, that my body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. It is a God-given responsibility and requirement for me to protect the physical integrity of my body against potentially unclean food and injections.

The broad prohibition against consuming anything that might “defile” the body, and hence the conscience, is stated again in I Corinthians 8:7: “Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.” And yet again, in 2 Corinthians 7:1, there is this admonition against defiling the flesh and the spirit: “Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” This mandated vaccine, with its numerous additives and its novel mechanism for altering my body, is the equivalent of a prohibited “unclean food” contrary to my faith. This vaccine is to me what non-kosher food is to Orthodox Jews, and no one requires anyone in the United States to consume a substance contrary to his or her faith.

My religious belief that opposes immunization has been with me far longer than the date on this letter. But I did not heed these beliefs, this call from God, for a long time. It is for this reason that I have immunized myself in the past. I now feel that act represents a disobedience to God that needs to be forgiven. I should have known, as every time that I participated in the act, it created anxiety and discord. This is antithetical to the inner peace and contentment that I seek through Jesus Christ. Once the internal strife became too overwhelming, I looked to the Bible for clarification and I found the root cause of my disharmony and discord. It is because it is against the word of my God. By putting my trust in man before my trust in God, I create a disconnect with my faith.

The above is an explanation of my personal religious beliefs. I hope I have described them sufficiently. Again, these thoughts are the unique message I receive from my God. I don’t ask that you, or anyone else, agree with these thoughts and personal translations. But under law, I respectfully request that they be honored as truthful and legally permissible. Based on what I have shared, I ask this waiver be approved.

Sincerely,
