I'm totally opposed to "COVID vaccine mandate for any population group!" The healthcare system practice has always solicited individual patients' rights and wishes in medical decisions such as procedures- invasive (surgery) or non-invasive (even just to put in an IV) ; organ donation and code status (full code or DNR) - just to name a few.. COVID vaxx is no different!  To trample over US' freedom of religion by not allowing religious exemptions is unconstitutional too! INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS/WISHES AND FREEDOM OF RELIGION MUST BE UPHELD- THAT'S JUST WHAT'S ETHICAL AND WHAT AMERICAN CONSTITUTION IS ABOUT.
