Indiana Students Granted Religious Exemptions Against Shots
The media has misreported the recent denial of an emergency injunction pending appeal involving students at Indiana University.
LINK
Governor Eric Holcomb has not mandated that every Indiana resident take COVID shots, nor can he. Moreover, Indiana has a strong state law regarding religious exemptions. Indiana law requires that schools accommodate religious exemptions to any mandated “vaccine” set forth in Indiana Code Section 21-40-5.

If you've already submitted your other required vaccine info, can you now claim a religious exemption?

This particular vaccine is derived from stem cell research (aborted fetal tissue) IIRC. And abortion is clearly a religious issue.

Fair enough

I believe the doctrine of the Christian Scientists (won't take blood transfusions) would exempt them, but what other religions would be exempt?

From the Indiana statutes requiring vaccination of students in state universities:
Section 21-40-5-6 - Religious objections
(a) Except as otherwise provided, a student may not be required to undergo testing, examination, immunization, or treatment required under this chapter when the student objects on religious grounds.
(b) A religious objection does not exempt a student from testing, examination, immunization, or treatment required under this chapter unless the request for an exemption is:
(1) made in writing;
(2) signed by the student; and
(3) delivered to the individual who might order a test, an examination, an immunization, or a treatment absent the religious objection.
There is no genuineness test. They don't have to justify their reasoning or even state their religion. They just have to make a written statement saying they object for religious reasons.

Liberals need to find out whether the students were Mooslim or not before turning on the outrage.
