covid vaccination job requirement exemption

 I see a job posting that states:

  • This position requires employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 unless they are granted a medical or religious exemption.
A medical exemption does not include the simple notion that someone fears for their health or safety. More likely, it would require an existing condition that increases risk.

I suppose one could claim religious exemption like a contentious objector, though I question whether stating such would invite additional scrutiny and stigmatize someone as "religious". If by "religious", one means their own belief, that might be the way to go. 

"I believe this requirement is bullshit. Amen."
