I refer the Commonwealth of Virginia to my previously published article titled, "The Moral Peril of Taking Most COVID-19 Vaccines": monomakhos.com/on-covid-vaccines-and-the-church/
There I argue that all of the currently available COVID-19 vaccines depend on aborted preborn baby ("fetal") cells or cell lines in their development, production, or testing. Any use of such vaccines involve the recipients in the intrinsic evil of the original abortions of preborn babies at 17 or 19 weeks' gestation and the harvesting of kidney or retinal cells.
The Commonwealth of Virginia must respect the Constitutional right to exemptions from mandatory vaccines based on a person's "sincerely-held religious beliefs." Allowing such exemptions for medical or health reasons is not sufficient and discriminates against Virginians whose moral religious conscience forbids complicity in the abomination of abortion.
