According to the law they must grant these people religious exemptions now that is of course what they’re saying behind closed doors however publicly it’s a much different story for instance just yesterday during a cnn presidential town hall when joe biden was asked whether police officers as well as first responders should be fired
Whether they should lose their jobs if they fail to take the vaccine he simply answered yes and of course that’s not only police officers and first responders who are across this country at risk of losing their jobs in fact we here at the epic times we actually comb
Through the data that came out of the us military and we found that there are still hundreds of thousands of american military troops who remain unvaccinated even as the mandatory vaccine deadline is looming close ahead let’s go through it all together This is your daily fax matter update and i’m your host roman from the epic times and now let’s begin today’s discussion by talking about the vaccine mandate and to start with i would like to compare what the white house is saying publicly with what they are saying privately
Behind closed doors although you might say hold on a second roman how do we know what they’re saying behind closed doors and that is a great question because normally we don’t however due to the work of jack posobiac who is by the way a great journalist and i would
Highly recommend that you follow his podcast over at humanevents.com and he was able to get his hands on a leaked audio recording of a meeting between white house officials as well as an attorney from the department of justice and during that meeting the attorney for the doj he outlined to the
White house how they can expect americans with religious beliefs to try and get an exemption from the vaccine mandate take a listen for instance in the new york case that’s currently going on against the state of new york the thomas more society is representing a bunch of doctors and nurses who claim that
They would sing gravely if they acted in cooperation with the evil of abortion how would they be doing so the claim is that all three of the current vaccines either have fetal cells that were that were obtained by abortions in the vaccine itself or in the case of
Fisa or moderna that those vaccines were tested using fetal cells that had been aborted and even the connection to the previous testing makes them cooperative with evil in a way that their religion prohibits now just to pause here for a quick moment what the lawyer in this leaked audio is
Referring to is something that we’ve discussed before in this program the fact that the coveted vaccines in one way shape form or other either used or use cell lines that came from aborted fetuses now to be specific the mrna vaccines meaning the pfizer and the mandarin vaccines they used these
Aborted fetal cell lines during the testing of their vaccines the johnson and johnson vaccine on the other hand they actually have some of these cells actually inside of the vaccine itself and due to these two facts many americans who hold pro-life views as well as religious beliefs they think
That this is evil they categorically think that this is evil and they want nothing to do with it and as the audio plays itself out the attorney for the department of justice he concedes that there is not much that the government can do to compel such people to get the shot listen anything
Too categorical but i believe that when this claim will be very difficult for agencies to successfully claim that that’s either insincere or non-religious even if it is even if we know that many of those claims are not sincere or are sincere but not religious this is the most common claim you’re
Going to confront probably now i just want to pause here for a moment as well and really consider something in that recording the lawyer for the department of justice he said rather firmly that sometimes they know that the individual’s claim is not sincere however that brings up a very important
Question which is who actually has the right and the determination to decide whether you legitimately hold a sincere religious belief because as you very well might know under title vii of the civil rights act american employers they are required to accommodate workers sincerely held religious beliefs including potentially their religious
Objections to a vaccine and here in america the individual has the right to hold their own religious beliefs whether they are part of an established religion or not in fact there is very little proving that an individual even has to do in regards to their sincere beliefs the government essentially has to take
Their word for it something that this lawyer that’s speaking to the white house official acknowledges the employee’s claim not always right one response that some hospitals have started to give is well do you know that tylenol and tums and preparation h those were all tested using aborted
Fetal cell lines too and i expect that employees will then say well i didn’t know that but now that you tell me that i’ll stop using those products as well and so as you just heard this lawyer who is again from the department of justice he’s representing the federal government
He has acknowledged the fact that a religious exemption to the vaccine exists which is ironic given the fact that when you look at some of the vaccine mandates that have been springing up across the country well some of them have made a deliberate effort to not allow for religious exemptions one obvious example
Was the vaccine mandate for healthcare workers here in the state of new york who are not allowed to apply for any type of religious exemption in fact in justifying this move governor kathy hokel she mentioned that even the pope himself said that the vaccine was okay
To take here’s in fact what she said during a speech when discussing this topic there are not legitimate religious exemptions because the leaders of all the organized religions have said there’s no legitimate reason you shouldn’t get a vaccine and we’re going to win that in court in a matter of days
Also in a prior speech on this very same issue here’s what governor hochul said as well to the extent that there’s leadership of different religious organizations that have spoken and they have i’m not aware of a sanctioned religious exemption from any organized religion in fact they’re encouraging the opposite they’re encouraging their
Members everybody from the pope on down is encouraging people to get vaccinated however what she just said in that statement it touches on the very crux of the issue and it actually brings us right back to what we just heard in that leaked audio recording which came from
The white house here in america it does not matter what any institution or even what the vatican says the american individual meaning you and me we all have the right to hold our own religious beliefs and our own spiritual convictions it is quite literally the very first part of the very first
Amendment which says congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof furthermore according to mr roger severino who is a senior fellow at the ethics and public policy center he said that the kind of statement that governor hochul said in
That in the statement we just read and others who have made similar statements as well they have crossed a line basically his point was that if you tell your boss that you’re let’s say a catholic and you hold a religious objection to the vaccine but then your
Boss turns around and says hey well actually the pope himself has urged catholics to get vaccinated well that would actually amount to a form of religious discrimination here’s specifically how he formulated his thoughts for employers to say you are wrong about your own beliefs is both arrogant and discriminatory because
People are entitled to their own religious beliefs even if they disagree with their own religious leaders public institutions should not act like inquisitorial boards quizzing people’s religious beliefs and trying to find holes because somebody has a different view of things if separation of church and state means anything it means that
State institutions don’t second guess to try to resolve religious truths and indeed according to that newly leaked white house audio recording that we just listened to it appears that the department of justice i.e the federal government has recognized this fact as well which is that according to title
Vii of the civil rights act american employers are indeed required to accommodate workers sincerely held religious beliefs including the potential religious objection to the vaccine now if you’d like to listen to that full audio recording for yourself i’ll throw a link to it into the description box below this video so you
Can listen to it at your own leisure and all i ask in return is that you take a quick moment to smash that like button for the youtube algorithm which by the way it forces the youtube algorithm to share this video to potentially thousands more people who might have
Never heard about this audio recording and therefore letting the truth be known far and wide now since we’re on the topic of vaccine mandates let’s discuss what joe biden just said yesterday regarding police officers over at the cnn presidential town hall oh sir what’s this well that’s a great question roman and
It is today’s sponsor which is an awesome messaging and email service provider called secure and it’s awesome if you’re the type of person that actually cares about their privacy because i mean it’s no big secret that these big tech companies are mining and reminding our data all the time in fact
In the year 2020 it was found that over 155 million americans likely including you and me have suffered some form of data breach and by the way that’s only what’s publicly known however what’s happened in the past well that can stay in the past because with secure your
Data and your messages can remain private and that’s because secure has all of their data centers located over in switzerland rather than you in the us or in china and the reason that’s so important is that switzerland has some of the strictest data privacy laws in the entire world and they are not
Subject to the intrusive cloud act and if you want to know the cloud act is head on over to secure.com and watch their video on the homepage or on the video tutorials page which is under their support section now the thing that i personally love the most about the
Secure app is the privacy aspect of it they don’t mind my data they don’t mind my phone number they don’t mind the phone numbers or data of my friends and family who i chat with but best of all is that if your friends and family don’t actually use this use the secure app
Themselves it doesn’t matter because the way that it works is that when you use their secure send email technology all of your emails and your messages route to switzerland and then the recipient can reply using their secure reply technology and so everything remains private no matter what and the same
Actually goes for their messaging app as well and they’re always coming up with new features in fact the most recent one they told me about they sent me an email here was that they’re coming up with a new feature called text to chat by invite so they’re an innovative company
And they really do care about your privacy and so what they’re doing doesn’t work with your existing big tech email account so check them out you can head on over to secure.com i’ll throw the link into the description box below and when you use promo code roman you
Can get 25 off and the rates are not even that expensive to start with by the way it’s only five dollars for the messenger and ten dollars for the email messenger combo and they even offer a seven day free trial so head on over to their website again it’ll be linked in
The description box below use promo code roman to save some money and now roman in the studio back to you and now let’s move on over and talk about vaccine mandates across the entire country and to start with last night during a cnn presidential town hall joe biden was
Asked this question by anderson cooper should police officers emergency responders be mandated to get vaccines and if not should they be stay at home or let go yes and yes his implication being that police officers as well as first responders who are unwilling to take the vaccine for any
Reason should be let go now you might say hold on a second before he was sworn in as president wasn’t joe biden actually against these vaccine mandates and you would actually be correct during the 2020 presidential campaign joe biden said that he was opposed to vaccine
Mandates in fact not too long ago just back in december of last year joe biden said this about the vaccine i don’t think it should be mandatory i wouldn’t demand it to be mandatory but i would do everything in my power just like i don’t think masks have to be mandatory
Nationwide i’ll do everything in my power as the president of the united states to encourage people to do the right thing however things have now obviously changed and during yesterday’s cnn presidential town hall joe biden explained himself this way one are those who just try to make this a political issue freedom
I have the freedom to kill you with my covey no i mean come on freedom number one number two the second one is that uh you know the the gross misinformation that’s out there now when you look into it it is indeed the case that police departments fire departments and paramedic units are
Getting gutted across the entire country due to the vaccine mandate and you’re likely aware of this fact if you’re on social media i mean there are a lot of videos like this one right here which shows dozens of police officers as well as firefighters going over to city hall
In order to turn in their boots after resigning now that particular video by the way was from seattle however similar things are happening in other cities across the entire country as well one great example is the city of chicago which as i’m sure you’re aware is
Currently facing a wave of crime as well as a giant spike in the number of homicides however amidst all this mayor lori lightfoot she issued a vaccine mandate for all police officers which then led to a standoff between her and the chicago police union what happened was that mayor lightfoot’s order
Required that all city workers of course including all police officers had to report their vaccination status by october the 15th and if they failed to do so they would be put on non-disciplinary no pay status meaning essentially that they would be suspended without pay until they complied however
The president of the local fraternal order of police which represents about 11 000 active chicago police officers he encouraged his members to not comply with this order his thinking was that probably at least 50 percent of the police officers would listen to him not comply with the order and be sent home
And if that were to happen then the city would not be able to function and mayor lori lightfoot she will be forced back to the negotiating table here’s in fact what the president of the chicago police union said in a video i can guarantee you the no pay status will never last 30
Days there is no way they are going to be able to sustain a police department workforce at 50 capacity or less for more than seven days without some budging and he was in fact correct at the very last minute mayor lori lightfoot she budged and she allowed police officers who weren’t complying
With her directions to still report to work and be paid they’re now battling it out in court where lawyer lightfoot is actually trying to get an official court order to mandate that everyone be vaccinated and of course as you likely already know this is not only playing
Out over in chicago it’s not even playing out only among the police according to the data that we’ve reviewed here at the epic times there are still hundreds of thousands of american military troops who remain unvaccinated even as the mandatory vaccine deadline is looming ahead by the way this includes over 12 000
Unvaccinated air force personnel who are facing a deadline within the next week and if they fail to comply they of course face severe punishment including possible court martial as well as disarmament discharge and by the way just as an aside online many people are referring to what’s happening across the country right now
As the great conservative purge from america’s institutions why well take a look at this data here which breaks down vaccination status by political affiliation and as you can see 92 percent of democrats are vaccinated while only 56 percent of republicans are and so think about that for a moment
There are people in this country right now who say that election laws are racist because when you take it as a whole black people are more likely to not have an id card than white people therefore if you require someone to show an id in order to vote that would disproportionately disenfranchise black
People however right now across this country schools fire departments police departments every branch of the military big tech firms large corporations as well as pretty much every other institution that you can think of they’re all implementing vaccine mandates which according to the data that we just looked at will
Overwhelmingly have the effect of pushing out republicans and pushing out conservatives from the workforce now again just to be clear i’m not saying that that’s the intended effect but just something that i thought was worth mentioning now if you’d like to read more about what’s happening over in the
City of chicago about the hundreds of thousands of unvaccinated military personnel who are at risk of getting fired as well as these statistics around who is vaccinated and who is not all that will be found in the description box below this video for you to check out and once again if you haven’t
Already all i ask in return is that you take a quick moment to smash that like button for the youtube algorithm now since you’ve completed this episode of facts matter i would highly highly recommend that you go on over to epic tv and check out a phenomenal episode of
American thought leaders where jan sat down and spoke with dr scott atlas and together they discussed the ethics of vaccinating children especially given that the data has shown that children do not significantly spread the virus compared to adults here’s a trailer for that episode i am absolutely pro-vaccine
But to me it’s unconscionable that a society uses its children as shield for adults so we’re going to inject our children with an experimental drug that they don’t have a significant benefit from to shield ourselves today i sit down with public health policy expert dr scott atlas to discuss
The ethics of vaccinating children the recent covet surge in florida and the reality of natural immunity and how vaccine mandates seem to ignore it when your antibodies decline after four months eight months whatever it is that does not mean necessarily that your protection is gone scott atlas is the author of the
