The slippery slope this time is allowing religious exemptions at all.

That’s a different argument, one that I’d have to think about. But if you allow them, then judging whether someone else's belief is real, or sincere, or consistent according to your standards, is a dangerous game.

Also granting a religious exemption can have stricter requirements than someone 'just sayin'. There are precedents.

Six states do not allow religious exemptions for any vaccines. Jacobson v Mass which is the case most often pointed to did not mention a religious exemption. You are probably right when it comes to this court but they are going to be wrong a lot. Sigh. BUT a lot of experts think it could hold up.

Religious exemptions to vaccines are bogus. (No.) A deadly virus doesn't care what you believe. It's not gonna skip over you because of your sincere belief, and you could kill or sicken someone else. This seems like common sense.

My understanding is there are very few religions that specifically do not allow for vaccines. Its my belief the overwhelming majority use religion exemptions for their personal anti vaccine stance. And i am one who respects the role of religion in people's live. But if you want to be an anti vaxxer - fine. Just dont use religion as your justificationYou wanna know what? You gotta problem with Luis Cessa, you gotta problem with me. And I suggest you let that one marinate

Well, with the exit of the orange Cheeto, Jair Bolsonaro is vying for the title of most COVID-friendly head of state.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/sep/17/jair-bolsonaro-covid-vaccine-new-york-un-meeting?fbclid=IwAR1Dymlrp51IsLORqLQAooaQNMknrP5TOb2X87WLabN4fWg2kwbTX0yjxGU
The Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, has signaled that he will snub New York City vaccination rules when he travels to next week’s UN general assembly claiming not to have received a Covid jab.
Bolsonaro is the only G20 leader who publicly claims not to have been vaccinated against a disease that has killed nearly 600,000 Brazilians, although the decision to place a 100-year secrecy order on his immunization records means many citizens doubt that claim.
On Thursday night Bolsonaro reiterated his supposed decision to decline a vaccine despite New York City health authorities having said delegates must show proof of vaccination if they plan to eat indoors or enter the general assembly hall.
Elsewhere, this ex- military wingnut has said that Brazilian elections are rife with fraud and he's not leaving if the election doesn't go his way. Problem is, unlike Trump, the military might back him. People are getting very nervous down there."Deep to left! Yastrzemski will not get it! It's a home run! A three-run homer by Bucky Dent! And the Yankees now lead by a score of 3-2!" - New York Yankees announcer Bill White (October 2, 1978)

But again, that requires that the state decide whether one's stated beliefs are what one actually believes. I am uncomfortable with that.
