What the petition asks
I would like the Government to ensure a religious exemption as the US military has done, based on conscience, ethics and morality. This way people would not be barred from working or from accessing venues due to their faith.
"We take freedom of religion and worship seriously, in the military, it's one of the things that we sign up to defend...and so it's something that's done very carefully.
"There is a religious exemption possibility for any mandatory vaccine, and there's a process that we go through to counsel the individual both from a medical and from a command perspective about using a religious exemption"
- Pentagon press secretary John Kirby.
