Dear sir or madam,

I am writing to express my objection to imposing mandatory vaccines on our children (and anyone else).  The petition seeks to exclude any religious or non-medical reason not to accept the vaccines.  I and many other individuals of faith have serious concerns about the COVID vaccines and the manner in which they were produced and/or tested.  Specifically, receiving a vaccine that uses aborted fetal cell lines in the development or testing of the vaccine violates my sincerely held religious beliefs regarding the sanctity and protection of pre-born children.  

Fetal cell lines were used in the development of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, and fetal cell lines were used in the testing of the Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines.

My family's personal convictions are inspired by our study and understanding of the Bible, and personally directed by the true and living God. We are personally convicted that I should not receive any of the three COVID-19 vaccines presently available.

Thanks for the opportunity to comment and make our sincerely held religious beliefs known in objection to making the COVID vaccines mandatory for our children.

Tony Gentry
