Idaho Schools MUST Accept a Parent’s Signed Statement for Vaccine Exemption for Religious or Philosophical Reasons. They must disclose the availability of exemptions when communicating about vaccines/immunizations.
Idaho has some of the strongest languages in the US when it comes to parental rights and vaccines!
Idaho has all three exemptions in place -medical, philosophical, and religious. We do not have to use an incriminating state form. A simple written statement invoking your right to a vaccine exemption is all that is required to exempt your child from some or all vaccinations.
As of 2021, schools must, by law, inform parents of these rights and must cite this section of the code!!
Idaho has vaccine exemptions for school and daycare. MEDICAL * PHILOSOPHICAL * RELIGIOUS
By law, the Schools/Daycares must communicate your right to exemptions when they communicate about ‘immunizations’. Section (3) to Idaho Code 39-4802
You do NOT have to fill out a specific state form nor can they discriminate against your child for any reason regarding their vaccine status.
The only thing necessary to evoke your child’s immunization exemption is a signed parental statement.
Example of a signed statement could be as follows:
I/We, _______________________________________, pursuant to Idaho Code 39-4802 (2)
and IDAPA 16.02.15.110 I/we submit this signed statement to the school _______________________________________________________
officials objecting to immunizations on religious OR other grounds for our child ________________(name)__________________________ and (date of birth).
Changes to Idaho Law: Schools MUST Inform Parents of their right to exemptions when they communicate about “immunizations”.
The amendment to section 39-4802 reads as follows:
“School officials shall describe the exemptions provided in this section and provide a citation to this section in any communication to parents and guardians regarding immunization.”
Idaho parents will finally receive full transparency about what is actually required by Idaho law.
If parents receive any form of communication regarding vaccine requirements after July 1, 2021, that doesn’t properly include the exemption information, they should contact the school board, their district, the superintendent, the Health and Welfare Department, as well as the Department of Education.
*Send a photo and CC the communication to Health Freedom Idaho so we can track the schools that violate the law. EMAIL US if your school/daycare fails to follow the law
Many people are being forced to choose between feeding their families and getting injected with a potentially deadly experimental substance. This is a fundamental violation not only of human rights but of the religious rights that we are guaranteed in the United States of America. We are human beings made in the image of God. We have God-given human rights and should not be forced to choose between feeding our families and putting something that is potentially deadly into our bodies.
Your personal convictions do not need the blessing of your church denomination or religious leader.
Very few religious groups in America have adopted a theological statement against vaccination. It’s a sad fact that the leaders of our religious denominations choose not to take a stance. However, all that an employee needs to implement a religious exemption is sincere belief — you don’t need a pastor or a religious leader to get involved.This is a “personal faith” decision, not an “essential faith” decision. It is a legitimate position, even if it is not the official church position.
Federal law also guarantees that individuals have a right to be free from religious discrimination. In order to reconcile these two rights, the law requires employers to make “reasonable accommodation” for individuals with a genuine religious objection to the vaccine.
Your Vaccine Exemption Letter
Your religious exemption letter must be PERSONAL. This is your firmly held moral conviction against vaccination. As with many matters of faith, we don’t often need to defend our beliefs and it can be challenging to find the words to verbalize our internal convictions. Please use these letters as a resource to help you formulate those points that you find most personally convicting and draft your religious exemption in your own words.
Scripture References
Genesis 1:27 “So God created man in His OWN IMAGE; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.”
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 “Or do you not know that YOUR BODY is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have FROM GOD, and YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN? For you were bought at a price; therefore GLORIFY GOD IN YOUR BODY AND YOUR SPIRIT, WHICH ARE GODS?”
Romans 12:1-2 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, but the mercies of God, that you present your BODIES a living sacrifice, holy acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And DO NOT BE CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Psalm 139:13-16 “13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”
Psalm 100:3 “Know that the Lord, He is God; IT IS HE WHO HAS MADE US, and not we ourselves; WE ARE HIS PEOPLE and the sheep of His pasture.”
Example of Religious Exemption Letter from a Nurse who obtained an exemption:
Once I was naïve and believed wholeheartedly in scientific achievements with unbounding faith. I believed others to be good-hearted, many God-fearing. I believed in “do no harm”. After my children were baptized Catholic, I found myself drawn to the faith and began catechism classes and immersed myself as a searcher. As my own personal faith has developed and grown, I have found that growth and change have become a natural part of my own faith. Thus, I remain both a person of faith – and continue to be a searcher. In the past, I have been voluntarily and involuntarily vaccinated for “the greater good.”
Now, my conscience reminds me that my Creator wonderfully and perfectly makes me in His image. I am worthy of being part of the greater good. By my baptism, I am born anew and become a member of God’s people. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Holy Spirit dwells in us, as in a temple. My body is a temple, and I am obliged to regard it as good. I am called to hold it in his honor because God himself created it and will raise it up on the last day. (782, 364) This epiphany has changed the way I live, how I raise my children, and how we practice a holistic approach to natural healing.
In paragraph 159 of the Catechism, “Consequently, methodical research in all branches of knowledge, provided it is carried out in a truly scientific manner and does not override moral laws, can never conflict with the faith, because the things of the world and the things of faith derive from the same God. The humble and persevering investigator of the secrets of nature is being led, as it were, by the hand of God despite himself, for it is God, the conserver of all things, who made them what they are.” (Gaudium et Spes 36 § 1) The forced vaccination conflicts with my faith and freedom because I believe in the Lord, the giver of Life, who provides for the natural healing of our human bodies. I do not believe our merciful God intended for us to poison our earthly bodies with synthetic substances. Man is made of body and soul in unity. I can no longer morally chance potential adverse reactions due to my actions when my human body and spiritual soul are intended to become a temple of the Spirit. (364) I understand that I am a gift from God, like all His children, with an obligation to respect and honor this temporary vessel until He calls me home. “Freedom makes man responsible for his acts to the extent that they are voluntary.” (Catholic Church, 1734).
Mandating a practice that I feel has the potential to cause harm to my earthly body is infringing on my freedom and condemning me by acting against my moral conscience (1778, 1790). “Every human person, created in the image of God, has the natural right to be recognized as a free and responsible being. All owe to each other this duty of respect. The right to the exercise of freedom, especially in moral and religious matters, is an inalienable requirement of the dignity of the human person. This right must be recognized and protected by civil authority within the limits of the common good and public order.” (1738; Cf. Dignitatis Humanae 2 § 7) Man has the right to act in conscience and freedom so as personally to make moral decisions. “He must not be forced to act contrary to his conscience. Nor must he be prevented from acting according to his conscience, especially in religious matters.” (1782, Dignitatis Humanae 3 § 2)
With these references from a regarded religious source, I am requesting a religious exemption to the mandated influenza and SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. My understanding of the policy is I may be granted accommodations as outlined by the Mandatory Influenza Vaccination Procedure. In years past, this accommodation has been wearing a mask. We are presently mandated to wear a mask while on campus; thus, my religious objection will not be an issue of discrimination nor reveal any medically sensitive information.
– The employer does not need a letter from a pastor or other clergy member. If they ask, tell them that is not required by law.
– This letter focuses mainly on Covid vaccines as all use aborted fetal cells. Not all other vaccines do not.
Consider language in your religious exemption letter pertaining to not medicating healthy bodies as that should cover other vaccines also.
– Some letters include language about the body being the temple of God. I did not include that as I feel that most people do things all the time that violate this – such as smoke, drink, get cosmetic surgery, etc. In my opinion, that opens the door to a challenge.
We Have A Constitutional Right To Following Our Religious Convictions Regarding Our Bodies
Conscience protections apply to health care providers who refuse to perform, accommodate, or assist with certain health care services on religious or moral grounds. Federal statutes protect health care provider conscience rights and prohibit recipients of certain federal funds from discriminating against health care providers who refuse to participate in these services based on moral objections or religious beliefs. Those statutes are listed below.
Example of Letter Citing Constitutional and Federal Statutes:
<Your firmly held moral conviction against vaccination listed here>
On this basis, as the above-referenced immunization requirements violate my right to freely exercise my religion as guaranteed by the First Amendment of the Constitution of The United States of America, I am asserting my rights to an exemption from (Governing Authority Name) __________________ immunization requirements. I qualify for this exemption based on the following: 1) First Amendment of the United States Constitution 2) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act (42 U.S. Code § 2000e) prohibits discrimination against a sincerely held religious belief, practice, or observance. As enforced by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Title VII requires employers to reasonably accommodate an employee’s sincerely held religious belief, practice, or observance. For religious accommodation request, according to the EEOC’s COVID-19 guidance, employers should ordinarily, assume that an employee’s request for religious accommodation is based on a sincerely held religious belief, practice, or observance. EEOC guidance also reminds employers that the ADA prohibits employers from both disclosing that an employee is receiving a reasonable accommodation and retaliating against an employee for requesting an accommodation. Failure to uphold 42 U.S. Code § 2000e and any attempt to coerce an individual to get the Covid-19 the vaccine is a violation of federal law and may be met with legal action.
FETAL CELL USE (Some lawyers have advised not using this as your primary objection for if they create vaccines that aren’t abortion tainted you could lose your exemption)
Below is a compilation of Synodal Statements, Medical Studies, Professional Dissertations, and Hierarchical and Monastic Statements which either forbid totally or recommend against receiving the COVID-19 Vaccine:
Bases of the Social Concept of the Russian Orthodox Church [1]
The Social Life Document of the Russian Orthodox Church, which is the largest Orthodox Jurisdiction on Earth, defines the absolute inadmissibility of medicines prepared using fetal therapy.
“The Church believes it to be definitely inadmissible to use the methods of so-called foetal therapy, in which the human foetus on various stages of its development is aborted and used in attempts to treat various diseases and to “rejuvenate” an organism. Denouncing abortion as a cardinal sin, the Church cannot find any justification for it either even if someone may possibly benefit from the destruction of a conceived human life. Contributing inevitably to ever wider spread and commercialization of abortion, this practice (even if its still hypothetical effectiveness could be proved scientifically) presents an example of glaring immorality and is criminal.”
This command is in point XII 7 of the Social Life Document. This document defines, as indicated by the name, appropriate Orthodox Christian living in as many aspects of society as is enumerated. Because of point XII 7, it would be a violation of my faith to receive the following coronavirus vaccines:
Moderna – The Moderna Vaccine was protein tested using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. This information is enumerated by the Lozier Institute [2]. This information is cited by the vaccine researchers Kizzmekia S. Corbett, Darin K. Edwards, and Sarah R. Leist [4].
Sputnik V – The Sputnik V Vaccine cites their manufacturers as using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293 [6][7].
AstraZeneca – AstraZeneca was developed using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. This information is enumerated by the Lozier Institute [2]. This information is also contained in documents permitting its emergency use in the United Kingdom [8].

COVAXX and United Biomedical – COVAXX was protein tested using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. This information is enumerated by the Lozier Institute [2]. This information is recorded by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory [11].
Novavax – The Novavax Vaccine was protein tested using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. This information is enumerated by the Lozier Institute [2]. This information is recorded by researches at ScienceMag [13].
University of Pittsburgh “PittCoVacc” – PittCoVacc was produced with the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. This information is enumerated by the Lozier Institute [2]. This information is recorded by EBioMedicine at the Lancet [14].
Walter Reed Army Institute – The Walter Reed Vaccine was produced with the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. This information is enumerated by the Lozier Institute [2]. This information is recorded by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory [15].
Sanofi Pasteur and Translate Bio – The Sanofi Vaccine was developed and protein tested using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. This information is enumerated by the Lozier Institute [2]. This information is recorded by the vaccine researchers at NPJ Vaccines [16].
Inovio Pharmeceuticals – The Inovio Vaccine was protein tested using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. This information is enumerated by the Lozier Institute [2]. This information is recorded by researches at ScienceMag [17].
Arcturus Therapeutics – The Arcturus Vaccine was protein tested using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. This information is enumerated by the Lozier Institute [2]. This information is recorded by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory [18].
Imperial College London – The Imperial College Vaccine was developed and protein tested using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. This information is enumerated by the Lozier Institute [2]. This information is recorded by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory [19].
Providence Therapeutics – The Providence Vaccine was developed and protein tested using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. This information is enumerated by the Lozier Institute [2]. This information is recorded by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory [20].
CoronaVac – CoronoVac was protein tested using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. This information is enumerated by the Lozier Institute [2]. This information is recorded by researches at ScienceMag [21].
CanSino Biologics – The CanSino Vaccine was protein tested using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. This information is enumerated by the Lozier Institute [2]. This information is recorded by researches at BioSpace [22].
ImmunityBio and NantKwest – The ImmunityBio Vaccine was developed, produced, and protein tested using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. This information is enumerated by the Lozier Institute [2]. This information is recorded by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory [23].
Institut Pasteur and Themis and Merck – The Institut Pasteur Vaccine was developed and protein tested using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. This information is enumerated by the Lozier Institute [2]. This information is recorded by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America [24].
Rega Institute, KU Leuven – The Rega Vaccine protein tested using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. This information is enumerated by the Lozier Institute [2]. This information is recorded by the Global Virus Network [25].
Anhui Zhifei – The Anhui Zhifei Vaccine was developed and protein tested using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. This information is enumerated by the Lozier Institute [2]. This information is recorded by the Cell Press Journal [26].
Clover Biopharmeceuticals – The Clover Vaccine was protein tested using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. This information is enumerated by the Lozier Institute [2]. This information is recorded by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory [27].
The same Social Life Document also states “The transplantation of organs from a living donor can be based only on the voluntary self-sacrifice for the sake of another’s life. In this case, the consent to explantation (removal of an organ) becomes a manifestation of love and compassion. However, a potential donor should be fully informed about possible consequences of the explanation of his organ for his health. The explanation that presents an immediate threat to the life of a donor is morally inadmissible.”
This is from the same point, XII 7, and therein it condemns the harvesting of biological material from a subject without their total informed consent. This condemns the usage of any vaccines manufactured utilizing stolen organs, thereby also condemning the CureVac Vaccine because it was protein tested on HeLa cells, which were harvested from an African American mother of five in 1951 without her knowledge or consent. This information is enumerated by the Lozier Institute [2]. This information is accounted by John Hopkin’s Magazine [28].
Greek Orthodox Press Release on “The Cloning of Embryonic Cells” [29]
The Greek Orthodox Church, which is the second in order among the non-patriarchal Autocephalous Jurisdictions, declared “Our Church expresses its categorical opposition to conducting experiments on human embryonic cells.” This is found in the 17.8.2000 Press Release on Embryo Cell Cloning. It further declares in the same Press Release that “the effort to improve life can not pass through the destruction of millions of human beings of embryonic age.”
This absolutely condemns the bulk of the already above-mentioned Vaccines which are the product of testing on cells harvested from aborted fetuses. This would make it a contradiction to my Orthodox faith to receive those vaccines even if said vaccines genuinely benefited me.
Romanian Orthodox Church Statement on “The Transplant of Organs” [30]
The Romanian Orthodox Church, which is fourth in the order of junior Patriarchates, lists mandatory principles for the moral use of human organs and tissues, and states: “Because the extraction of organs implies the consent of the donor, extraction of tissues from an embryo is inconceivable given the fact that although alive, this one cannot give its consent.”
On this basis, the Romanian Orthodox Church condemns all medical work profiting from the harvesting of cells from a embryo, or, in fact, any medical work profiting from the harvesting of cells from a non-consenting individual. This statement alone condemns all the above-mentioned vaccines on the basis that they come from either an aborted fetus or a non-consenting individual; in the vast majority of cases, these vaccines are condemned by both qualifications.
Also mentioned in this Statement in the Church’s view of death. The Church declares that “From a Christian point of view, death has two acceptances:
Man’s moving away from God through sin (death that can be temporary or eternal, according to the seriousness of the sin, repentance or its absence);
The physical death – materialized through the separation of the soul from the body. All Christian effort is to get rid of the eternal death through the dynamic communion with God in Christ, through the Holy Spirit. This fact does not exclude the care for the conditions, moment and way of separating the soul from the body.”
I am of the opinion that receiving the vaccines mentioned above would be participating in the sin of abortion, thereby resulting in my spiritual death. While neither death is desirable, the Church has since antiquity declared that spiritual death is magnitudes less desirable than physical death because spiritual death results in the eternal suffering of our souls, as is declared in Revelation 21:8 – “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” And again in Revelation 20:14 – “And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.”
Inter-Church declaration by Archbishop Makarios [31]
Archbishop Makarios is a hierarch of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, the First Throned Patriarchate of the Orthodox Church. He worked with other religious officials of other churches to compose an InterChurch statement condemning the AstraZeneca Vaccine on the basis that it was developed using the abortion-derived cell line HEK-293. On this basis, most of the above-mentioned vaccines are condemned because of their usage of HEK-293 in the development or testing of their vaccines.
Moldovan Orthodox Church Declaration On The Threat Of COVID Vaccines [32]
The Moldovan Orthodox Church, which is a self-ruling jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church, declared that the COVID Vaccines are a microchipping threat for faithful Christians.
In the statement, the Church states that “it must be said that vaccination carries the risk of microchipping or introducing foreign devices into the human body. The public in many European countries is protesting against mandatory vaccination, especially against the COVID-19 vaccine, because it considers it to be the way in which the world anti-Christ system wants to introduce microchips into people’s bodies to control them…”
The Synod says affirmatively that the Vaccine is a microchipping threat and acknowledges that the public are concerned that there are greater forces governing the world which are using vaccines and microchips in order to control them in a scheme in service of the anti-Christ.
I do not know if the vaccine is a microchipping threat, nor do I know if greater forces are serving the anti-Christ using the vaccines, however I DO know that these are my spiritual shepherds and that they have been appointed as pastors of the Orthodox Christian flock due to their wisdom and diligence. They are wiser than I am, and I will trust this overwhelming opposition to the vaccine by the hierarchs of my Church. Therefore, I oppose the vaccine as a threat to me, and would like to request that they are not mandated so that I am not of any potential risk.
Georgian Orthodox Synod On The Necessity Of Vaccination Being A Free Choice And Not Compulsory [33]
The Georgian Orthodox Church, which is the second in the order of Junior Patriarchates, made a Synodal Statement concerning the vaccine. In the Synodal Statement, they declare “We welcome the fact that the Covid-Pandemic vaccination process has been declared voluntary and not mandatory; This is especially important today, when the vaccine is newly developed and health professionals in different countries have different opinions about it.”
The Georgian Church acknowledges that the different opinions are valid enough to be such a concern that the vaccines should not be compulsory and notes that this is “especially important.” I also believe that this is especially important, and I believe this would be a contradiction of my Orthodox faith and thereby should not be mandatory.
Metropolitan Saba of Khoni Against The COVID Vaccine [34]
As a Bishop of the Orthodox Church, Metropolitan Saba is one of the highest authorities concerning Orthodox Christian living. He has voiced extreme opposition to the vaccine.
He states “today’s virus, it is a means in the hands of the devil, to bring people under its influence,” and “there will come a time when a vaccine will be offered to humanity, to humans, which will serve not so much the virus, but the enslavement of humans, the management of humans, the subjugation of humans, and it will become one of the most important tools in the hands of the devil.”
He speaks of the danger of the vaccine, saying that it is a method of controlling the population, much less so than it will be for the management of any virus. As one who is charged with taking care of the Orthodox Christian flock, I take note of his warnings against the vaccine and acknowledge it alongside the warnings of many other Bishops, Elders, and Synods. I cannot, in good conscience, receive the vaccine as I see it as a threat to me, both spiritually and physically. My faith already forbids the COVID Vaccine.
Bishop Spiridon of Skhalta Against The COVID Vaccine [35]
Bishop Spiridon warns against the COVID Vaccine, saying that it is being created by evildoers. This is not difficult to believe, at least in an American context, given that Big Pharma is notorious for its corruption, and the primary supporters of the distribution of the vaccines are the unelected elites of society and the mainstream media.
“If a murderer, a maniac brings you medicine, will you drink it?” I do not trust. I will not bring home the medicine brought by them.”
“I am personally convinced that this is the devil’s trap! – These people will not give you any medicine,”
Bishop Spiridon warns that the elites are functioning as agents of the devil to present the vaccine as a trap. This implicates, not just vaccines produced with aborted fetal cells, but ALL vaccines against coronavirus. This greatly concerns me, and I feel my readiness and functionality will be hindered if under any obligation to receive a vaccine against coronavirus.
In the Orthodox Church, exceptionally holy people are canonized as Saints. A canonization indicates the Church’s recognition that a person has already been received into the Kingdom of Heaven. These people have encountered God in a way not many people can comprehend, reaching heights of humility and divinization that the average man may never experience. Saint Paisios, in particular, lived such a holy life on earth that God bestowed upon him the gift of foresight, that is to say, he could spiritually warn with accuracy about the future. In one of his books, entitled “Spiritual Counsels II: Spiritual Awakening,” Saint Paisios displays his gift of foresight by predicting that a new vaccine (“new” relative to the time when he was alive) would be created to combat a new disease which will bear the Mark of the Beast on those who take it voluntarily.
“And now a vaccine has been developed to combat a new disease, which will be obligatory and those taking it will be marked.”
“Later on, anyone who is not marked with the number 666 will not be able to either buy or sell, to get a loan, to get a job, and so forth.”
Saint Paisios is eerily predicting many things which I have noticed, including the inexplicable push to mandate the vaccine in all areas of life. One such area is this line of work, which is the entire reason I have to request a religious exemption in the first place. This is the mindset behind the “Vaccine Passports” which some people are suggesting should be used as a prerequisite for flight by commercial plane, and some countries are using as prerequisite for any form of immigration. Saint Paisios saw a coming vaccine as the Mark of the Beast, bearing the number of his name: 666. I am aware of the Bible’s condemnation of those who bear his number, as all who take the Mark will be beyond salvation due to them having blasphemed the Holy Spirit by doing so. Whether or not the COVID Vaccine is the vaccine Saint Paisios warned about, I do not know, but I do know that there are many similarities between his foreseen vaccine and the COVID Vaccine. In order that I am not of any threat of taking the Mark of the Beast, I am requesting an exemption to the mandate of the COVID Vaccine.
In the Orthodox Church, the highest accessible spiritual states are found in monasticism. Most canonized Saints are monks, and monks are considered the foremost spiritual fathers for Orthodox Christians. This is further demonstrated by the fact that the Spiritual Center of the Orthodox Church is Mount Athos, which as a monastic republic, composed exclusively of monks. The Holy Mountain is held in high regard as some of our greatest guides come from there. Therefore, it is if considerable note that the abbot of Karakallou Monastery on Mount Athos felt it necessary to make a video to inform Orthodox Christians around the world about the dangers of the COVID Vaccine.
Archimandrite Philotheos says “We sense that the coming of this pandemic was no accident, and in fact, that it was manufactured. And then came the vaccine, supposedly ‘to suppress the pandemic,’ but we sense that this is all being directed, is artificial, in order to achieve what they want—their ultimate purpose,”
“And we can see in the way they are now imposing the vaccine that the dark forces have their ultimate goal. We have also been prepared for this by the Revelation of St. John the Evangelist, and we have been warned by the Apostolic Fathers who speak of the days of the Antichrist,”
“They abolish democracy, abolish human rights, abolish so many things these days. How do they reconcile all this? Under the pretext, of course, of the pandemic that they have produced,”
Archimandrite Philotheos is in a position unlike Saint Paisios described before, in that he inhabits the world while this Vaccine is conquering the world. He sees it as an effort by higher authorities and elites to abolish human rights for the purpose of subjugating mankind to prepare for the antiChrist. He says this vaccine is prepare humanity to be sealed in the future, meaning the Mark of the Beast. This is unacceptable for an Orthodox Christian, as the Mark of the Beast cannot be repented of. I absolutely cannot be at threat of the Mark.
Another Abbot of the Holy Mountain, from a different monastery, speaks against the COVID Vaccine. This is all weighing heavily on the vaccine. Elder Parthenius is the abbot of Saint Paul’s Monastery, and here he speaks against the vaccine saying that we ought the Lord’s Will far sooner than a man-made solution. We ought to pray against the virus as “Our hope is that whoever trusts in God will not be ashamed. We must rely not on our own strength, but on the mercy and love of God.”
Elder Parthenius refuses to bless anyone to receive the vaccine as it lines up too closely with what is written in Revelation 13. By its fruits we shall know it, and although the vaccine doesn’t perfectly align with Revelation 13, the similarities should strike us as notable.
Elder Efthymios is another Athonite monk who speaks about the suspicious nature of the vaccine. He firstly says “Those who do not want to be vaccinated, no one should and does not have the right to force them to be vaccinated in any way.” He goes on to say that the vaccine was mad obligatory in some areas before it was ever even manufactured. “There is a cure,” he says, “but some do not want it.” The cure he speaks about is the Body and Blood of Christ. This is a greater vaccine than anything created by mankind. “The vaccine is not a cure,” he notes as being confirmed by Nobel Prize-winning French Scientist Luc Antoine Montagnier. Elder Efthymios speculates that if the vaccine were genuinely and helpful, it would not need all this propaganda. Therefore there is reasonable suspicion of the vaccine, and it is within all appropriate logic to avoid it.
Metropolitan Seraphim of Kythira Against the Vaccine [42][43]
Metropolitan Seraphim is the bishop of the Church of Cyprus, the first in the order of non-patriarchal Autocephalous Jurisdictions in the Orthodox Church. He has condemned the vaccines harshly for being the products of aborted fetal cells. Citing information from Italy, he notes that “the vaccine is made from aborted fetuses,” saying that it is impossible for the Orthodox to accept such a thing even if it is in the best economic interests of the people because what matters more than the economy is proper enforcement of morality.
I cannot accept a vaccine that results from the murder of babies, and therefore am requesting an exemption to the vaccine so that I do not participate in this grave sin.
Father Alexander Demonstrates the Moral Peril of the COVID Vaccine [44]
Father Alexander is a highly respected academic, author, and speaker. He served as an Orthodox Chaplain in the United States Army for over 24 years, achieving the rank of Colonel. He also served as a Dean and Professor of Moral Theology Emeritus at Holy Trinity Seminary. In light of his impressive resume, he would unquestionably support an exemption for Orthodox Christian receiving the COVID Vaccine. He says “We must reject, on moral grounds, all COVID-19 vaccines that have any connection to aborted preborn baby cells.” This condemns practically every available COVID Vaccine, and surely you cannot suppose that one violates their own moral codes for the sake of a negligibly beneficial vaccine? “According to traditional Orthodox moral theology (as opposed to revisionist variations so common today), certain actions (“means” to “ends”) are objectively, intrinsically evil under any “circumstances”—most notably, abortion, rape, incest, child abuse, physical torture, and deliberate targeting of non-combatants in war.” Fr Alexander knows the price that must be paid for anyone who participates in this grave evils, even if that evil is FDA Approved.
Saint Nikephoros the Leper Reveals the True Cure [45]
Saint Nikephoros was a monk granted the rank of the Angelic Schema, the highest order of monks in the Orthodox Church. For the majority of his life, he suffered from leprosy. In his time, he was unable to obtain medicine for the disease. He lived among lepers so as to not spread the disease among the healthy. As he progressed in his life and grew in his holiness, he came to a point where the disease would not spread to the healthy anymore. He became a vessel for blessings and good things, rather than a vector of death. He was granted the gift from God to return to the earth after his death to warn the faithful about the coronavirus pandemic. Multiple times he appeared to faithful Orthodox Christians in the Balkans. Saint Nikephoros revealed the truth: “There is a cure and this is the Holy Communion. There’s also a herb to drink, it’s thyme, it kills viruses. And in any case, be sure to visit the house of God at this difficult time, because there is no contagion there and no one can be infected.” He has given us the knowledge of better and more natural treatment, not one from the labs of men. The Holy Eucharist is the cure to COVID-19, and the disease can be treated with thyme. As one who suffered from life-altering diseases, he knows it like no other. As one among the highest order of monks, he knows that the House of God CANNOT contain an infection that harms the faithful. A person who is received validly into the Orthodox Church is the only one allowed to partake of the Body and Blood of Christ for his sanctification. As an Orthodox Christian, I can trust that I will receive the appropriate care from God by going into the temple of the Lord and participating in the regular Liturgical Cycle. Therefore there is no need to fear if I will catch the disease without a vaccine.
All of the above is a confirmation that it is not only my right to not be subject to the COVID Vaccine, but my duty as an Orthodox Christian. It is contradictory to the Orthodox faith no matter how you look at it. It cannot be justified and may even lead to our eternal spiritual disaster. It is for these reasons that I am requesting, through the appropriate channels, an exemption to the mandate to receive the COVID Vaccine.
The following are my sources for why it is a violation of my Orthodox Faith to receive at this time a COVID Vaccine:
The morbidity risk for children of the virus is nearly zero. Still, schools are attempting to mandate masks with some giving options to opt-out with a doctor’s note. Here is an example of an exemption note obtained for a child that was used successfully in a school situation.
To Whom It May Concern:
Child’s Name has been under my chiropractic care for a number of years. I care for his spinal integrity and nerve system optimization. Having an unobstructed nerve system allows him to better adapt to his environment and function at his best.
The child’s name is a curious young man, full of wonder. He has a terrific sense of humor and he isn’t afraid to ask deep questions. I believe, with his mother’s corroboration, that he is quite at ease in my office because he knows what to expect and I eliminate as many stressors that may hinder his comfort. Otherwise, he can act inattentive and become easily distracted.
In 2020, Child’s Name underwent a psychoeducational evaluation that revealed that he has some challenges with language processing which are impacting his ability to complete classwork to his full potential. Furthermore, he demonstrated relative weakness with making sound/symbol (auditory/visual) and visual recall associations for spelling and reading. These difficulties, concludes the evaluator, are indicative of an auditory, visual, and kinesthetic integration challenge.
Apparently, Child’s Name’s scores were below average on one selective attention task and one dual attention task, and very low on single attention tasks. These combined results indicate that he has features of ADHD, combined presentation. He also has underlying processing difficulties that make academics, especially writing, very laborious for him and create fatigue, inattention, and overactive motor tendencies.
Child’s Name’s parents are concerned, with reason, about the effects that wearing a mask will have on Child’s Name’s academics and social development/engagement. Social engagement depends on how well we can regulate the muscles of our faces and heads via pathways linking the cortex with the brainstem. These are the muscles that give expression to our faces, allow us to gesture with our heads, put intonation with our voices, direct our gaze, and permit us to distinguish human voices from background sounds.
The neural regulation of the muscles of the face and head influences how someone perceives the engagement behavior of others. Absent facial expressions, and especially in someone who already exhibits learning, processing, and social challenges, may cause compromised emotional regulation and limited, spontaneous social engagement.
Should Child’s Name be forced to wear a mask while at school, we may likely see a further decline in his ability to learn and to exhibit adaptive and social behaviors?
Child’s Name’s parents are very well informed about the current health situation/crisis in which we find ourselves. They go to great lengths to ensure that Child’s Name eats well, gets plenty of clean water, exercises, and rests. I believe that Child’s Name’s nerve system and subsequent ability to learn would be enhanced if he was allowed to attend school without having to wear a mask. To ask this child to wear a mask while in school would very likely impact his ability to learn, to interact with others, and to continue to develop socially.
No one should be forced to choose between keeping their job and undergoing a medical procedure that violates their bodily autonomy, especially one which lacks long-term data, has inherent risk, and is still only under experimental use authorization. That’s what’s happening to our healthcare workers! We need to stand with them in support. Other businesses will follow suit (if they haven’t already) illegally requiring a vaccine mandate for a product that isn’t FDA approved and has no liability.

Several major Idaho employers, including St. Luke’s, St. Alphonsus, and Primary Care have stated that they will now discriminate based on their employees’ personal health choices. This is wrong and needs to be made explicitly illegal. The Governor of Idaho protected the jobs of State Employees from being affected by their COVID-19 vaccination status with Executive Order 2021-04, but this does nothing to protect those who work for someone other than the State of Idaho. No one should be forced to choose between keeping their job and undergoing a medical procedure that violates their bodily autonomy, especially one which lacks long-term data, has inherent risk, and is still only under experimental use authorization.
WE THE PEOPLE need to stand side by side with our healthcare professionals and NOT permit their employers to coerce them into vaccine mandates! Now more than ever, we need to rise up and say NO!
Here’s what you can do:
1. VACCINE EXEMPTIONS IN IDAHO LAW ARE SPECIFIC FOR CHILDREN. The medical, philosophical, and religious exemptions we talk about all the time through HFI are only applicable to minor children, and only for school and daycare attendance.
2. VACCINE EXEMPTIONS SHOULD EXIST IN YOUR WORKPLACE. Look into any possible exemption for adults with their employers are ones that may or may not be available through any given company. Please inquire with your employer. (Information regarding moral/religious exemption) Utilize the resources below.
3. UNITE! You are strong, especially together. You have the God-given right to your bodily autonomy, and you have strength in numbers. Talk to each other. Here’s a Facebook group for healthcare workers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/377518550406136/

Questions and Answers on the Covid-19 Vaccine Pacific Justice Institute July 2, 2021 Question: Can my employer order me to be vaccinated against Covid (also referred to as COVID-19, novel coronavirus or SARS-CoV-2) and can they threaten to fire me if I do not comply? Answer: First, no one can force you to take the Covid vaccine, because it has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The vaccine is currently being administered under the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) because the vaccines were not studied for a sufficient time to ensure there are no long-term side effects. There are a number of authorities and resources you can cite that show you cannot be forced to take a vaccine. Consider the following four examples:
The EUA itself, 21 U.S. Code § 360bbb–3, requires “. . . Individuals to whom the product is administered are informed— of the option to accept or refuse administration of the product, of the consequences, if any, of refusing administration of the product . . .”1
Each person who is about to receive a Covid vaccine is given a fact sheet, which states in part: “WHAT IF I DECIDE NOT TO GET THE (insert drug company name) COVID-19 VACCINE? It is your choice to receive or not receive the (insert drug company name) COVID-19 Vaccine. Should you decide not to receive it, it will not change your standard medical care.”2
In the 2004 case of Doe v. Rumsfeld, 3 plaintiffs challenged the government’s Anthrax Vaccination Immunization Program (AVIP), because anthrax vaccine adsorbed (AVA) had never been approved by the FDA as a safe and effective drug for protection against inhalation anthrax. Yet the government was forcing military personnel to take the vaccine. The United States District Court for the District of Columbia issued an injunction 1 See, 21 U.S. Code § 360bbb–3 – Authorization for medical products for use in emergencies. Subsection (e)(1)(A)(ii) 2 See, https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/eua/index.html. 3 Doe v. Rumsfeld, 341 F. Supp. 2d 1, 2004 U.S. Dist.

Federal statutes: VACCINE UNDER EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION.
“What people don’t understand is that every single one of those products was issued under something called an Emergency Use Authorization. It is a Federal Code under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which grants the Secretary of Health and Human Services the authority to grant the EUAs. The EUA statute specifically says, “Individuals to whom the product is administered are informed that the Secretary has authorized the EUA. They must be informed of the known and potential benefits and risks of such use and of the extent to which such benefits and risks are unknown. Most importantly, of the option to accept or refuse administration of the product.” – Interview with Leslie Manookian, Health Freedom Defense
Regarding compulsory COVID-19 requirement imposed upon an employee violates federal law. 1 Title 21, Section 360bbb-3 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the “FD&C Act”) vests the Secretary of Health and Human Services with the permissive authority to grant Emergency Use Authorizations (“EUAs”). However, the statute requires that: individuals to whom the product is administered are informed— (I) that the Secretary has authorized the emergency use of the product; (II) of the significant known and potential benefits and risks of such use, and of the extent to which such benefits and risks are unknown; and (III) of the option to accept or refuse administration of the product, of the consequences, if any, of refusing administration of the product, and of the alternatives to the product that are available and of their benefits and risks.
The Americans with Disabilities Act [ADA] and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Title I of ADA Title I of the ADA applies to private employers with 15 or more employees. It also applies to state and local government employers, employment agencies, and labor unions.
All nondiscrimination standards under Title I of the ADA also apply to federal agencies under Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which enforces these federal civil rights laws in employment, has issued guidance on COVID-19 and vaccination policies. The Americans with Disabilities Act [ADA] and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 are relevant to employers or lawmakers crafting vaccination requirements. EEOC provides examples of potential reasonable accommodations. Examples of a “reasonable accommodation” for employees who cannot comply with a vaccine mandate because of a disability; religious belief, practice or observance; or pregnancy include requiring the unvaccinated employee to:
Wear a face mask at work
Work at a social distance from co-workers or non-employees
Idaho Constitution Art 1 Sec 4: “The liberty of conscience hereby secured…” and no person shall be denied any civil or political right, privilege, or capacity on account of his religious opinions; IDAHO STATUTE PROTECTS HEALTHCARE WORKERS FROM DISCRIMINATION.
LEGISLATURE.IDAHO.GOVSection 18-611FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE FOR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS 18-611 (3) Employers of health care professionals shall reasonably accommodate the conscience rights of their employees as provided in this section, upon advanced written notification by the employee. Such notice shall suffice without specification of the reason therefor. It shall be unlawful for any employer to discriminate against any health care professional based upon his or her declining to provide a health care service that violates his or her conscience unless the employer can demonstrate that such accommodation poses an undue hardship.
39-9003 (2) It is hereby declared that the public policy of the state of Idaho, consistent with our constitutionally recognized and inalienable rights of liberty, is that every person within the state of Idaho is and shall be free to choose or decline to choose any mode of securing health care services without penalty or threat of penalty by the federal government of the United States of America.

Informed Consent
The EUA (emergency use authorization) statute specifically says, “Individuals to whom the product is administered are informed that the Secretary has authorized the EUA. They must be informed of the known and potential benefits and risks of such use and of the extent to which such benefits and risks are unknown. Most importantly, of the option to accept or refuse administration of the product.”

These hospital mandates are likely a death sentence for some of your employees as shown by the table above. Note that over 9,000 deaths have been reported to and compiled into the VAERS system. Have you confirmed which employees have already contracted “the virus” and are now immune?
LIABILITY FREE PRODUCTS
On February 4, 2020, the Secretary of HHS invoked the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness act (PREP Act) and declared COVID-19 to be a public health emergency, warranting liability protection for covered countermeasures, which includes vaccination. If an individual is injured or killed by a COVID-19 vaccine, the manufacturer cannot be held liable per the PREP Act. The only possible recourse should you or a loved one suffer injury or death is to pursue compensation through the Countermeasure Injury Compensation Program, which has a difficult threshold for proving a relationship between an injury and the vaccine, a short statute of limitations, no avenue for appeals and doesn’t pay damages for pain or suffering.
The liability exempt status for vaccine manufacturers is not new. Pharmaceutical companies have enjoyed their liability-free status for all vaccinations on the CDC schedule since the passage of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986. After large numbers of lawsuits were brought forth for injuries and deaths resulting from the DPT vaccine, Congress passed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act to protect pharmaceutical companies from liability specifically for vaccines. No other product or industry is protected from liability for injury and death in this way.
Without any liability, what incentive is there to ensure the vaccine is as safe as possible? Will the employer requiring vaccination be held liable for injury and/or death?
Vaccine Exemptions Exist in Idaho! We have seen over the years how the schools attempt to deny, coerce and bully parents. This is why we started Health Freedom Idaho. Nobody was talking about vaccine exemption forms, parents didn’t know there were exemptions and schools didn’t provide the information. It was Health Freedom Idaho that brought a bill from the citizens that got the rules from the health department to line up with statute. Then we brought a bill that required the schools to disclose to parents that exemptions were available for their children. It passed the house but died in the Senate in the previous legislative session.
We have great news!
The 2021 Passage of House Bill 298: NO LONGER WILL BE THE SCHOOLS/DAYCARES be freely able to bully parents into vaccination against their religious, moral convictions or medical conditions and concerns.
Immunization exemptions according to the Health and Welfare Website
Idaho law allows a parent or guardian to claim an immunization exemption for their child for medical, religious or other reasons. A medical exemption must be completed by a licensed physician. It is recommended that exemptions for religious or other reasons be documented on the form provided by DHW Immunization Program. Parents or guardians may also claim an immunization exemption by providing a signed written statement when entering their child into school and/or childcare. In the event of a disease outbreak, children who have claimed an exemption and have not received the immunization against that disease may be excluded from school and/or childcare.
Special Report, published by NVIC on State Legislative Action regarding informed consent.
Dawn talks about the OPT-OUT vaccine tracking system in Texas. Health Freedom Idaho addressed this issue with the Idaho legislature in 2016. A bill was defeated that would have added ADULTS into an opt-out vaccine tracking system.
Not only are COVID-19 VACCINE MANUFACTURERS ARE EXEMPT FROM LIABILITY anyone who prescribes, administers, delivers, distributes or dispenses… and manufacturers and distributors of any vaccine used to treat prevent mitigate COVID-19.. shall enjoy liability immunity.
No liability, none, zero, zip, you cannot sue the manufacturers, you cannot sue the doctors, if you or your child is hurt, has a reaction or dies they are not liable! This is the only medical procedure or medication on the market that has no liability… Why ask yourself why? And they want us ALL to take it!
The Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Alex M Azar III has granted the companies selling and there was involved in virtually any other activity related to any COVID-19 vaccine immunity from liability for any injuries caused by these products. The Declaration was effective as of February 4, 2020.
Prior to his current position, Secretary Azar was a senior executive for a major pharmaceutical company Eli Lily and Company from 2007 to 2017.
This is a screenshot portion of the Declaration Under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act for Medical Countermeasures Against COVID-19. It provides at all those who prescribe, administer, deliver, distribute, or dispense… and manufacturers and distributors of any vaccine used to treat prevent mitigate COVID-19.. shall enjoy liability immunity including a suit from and liability under the federal and state law concerning all claims for loss caused by arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the administration to or the use by an individual of a COVID-19 vaccine.

With 25 companies testing their vaccine candidates on humans and getting ready to vaccinate hundreds of millions of people once the products are shown to work, the question of who pays for any claims for damages in case of side effects was resolved back in the beginning before many states even declared an outbreak.
All planned out ahead of time. Before the vaccine with the brand new technology that messes with your, DNA was even developed. Only four months earlier, the Event 201 pandemic exercise, conducted on October 18, 2019, vividly demonstrated where they needed to tie up loose ends so that their “pandemic” could be orchestrated effectively…
We are born with God-given rights that the Constitution protects. Your right to shop mask-free is protected by state and federal civil law, which defends your religious freedom. This religious exemption clearly states the applicable laws and the penalty for violating the laws. The Civil Rights Act IDAHO STATUE 73-402 prohibits religious discrimination in the workplace, which includes hiring, firing, promotions, and other aspects of employment. The law also requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for employees who wish to practice their religion without restraint.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is federal civil rights legislation that prohibits discrimination in numerous settings including: employment, education, voting, and public accommodations.

ALL THREE VACCINE EXEMPTIONS EXIST IN IDAHO! If you received enrollment paperwork for your child stating that vaccines are required – without disclosing there is exemptions – you are being lied to!
We expect our schools to teach our children knowledge of reading and writing. We expect the campus to be free from bullying. We expect the schools to enforce the community standards of respect and telling the truth. And yet, when parents enroll their children into school these standards are ignored by administration and staff.
Parents are lied to by omission which is lying. They are bullied and harassed. The full disclosure of the law is ignored.
Citizens brought forth a bill that would require the health department and school administration to provide full disclosure of the law. This bill passed the House with a vote of 52 to 17. Yes, 17 representatives believed that coercion at the hands of the health department and schools is acceptable. )
However, due to the structure of our legislature ONE MAN stopped this bill from being heard in the Senate. The power of the Chairman of the Health Committee used his personal opinion in favor of vaccines to keep this informed consent bill from being put to a vote. Senator Fred Martin believes the outright lies of the marketing campaigns via the health department and the school’s administrative policies is appropriate.

I was really bothered by the fact that we have the right to waive vaccines, and yet they write to parents that by law they have to have their vaccinations. This is wrong. They should say something like, “It is Idaho State Law that you must have complete immunization records or an Idaho School Immunization Exemption Form to register your child for school.”
I listened to moms coming in worried that they didn’t have vaccination records and the school never gave them the option to waive.
If it is our right to waive, why is this not disclosed as part of proper informed consent?
– Concerned Mom
Dear Senators and Representatives – If it is our right to waive, why is this not disclosed as part of proper informed consent?
A hearing last year to require school to give complete information on the law that includes vaccine exemptions for medical, religious and other reasons Senators advised that parents should try to inform one another. The vote against a measure of informed consent allows the school’s are allowed to deceive, lie, and bully parents by failing to inform parents of their full rights under Idaho statue.
The CITIZENS want schools to tell the truth, full disclosure. NO MORE BULLYING! This is outright coercing parents with inadequate information on the actual state statute. It should NOT be the responsibility of the citizen to inform one another of the schools deceiptful tatics. It should be the responsibility of the tax supported schools and state Health departments to be accountable to the LAW.
Why? Because school officials have said, their goal is increased vaccination rates. Our schools rank at the bottom of education for the United States. Our school system is failing our children. The focus of the school should be to improve knowledge, reading and math and sciences. They should NOT be involved in the medical affairs of families. These decisions should be left between doctor and parent and not be coerced by school officials.
