Doctor says religion should not be grounds for vaccine exemption Spread the love A noted medical practitioner believes that no one should be exempt from taking a Covid-19 vaccine, save for people who may have a medical reason. In seeking to justify his stance, pathologist Dr Lester Simon, who was speaking during Sunday’s Big Issues programme, said individuals who are arguing that they will not be taking the Covid jab for religious or other reasons should not go unvaccinated because such individuals “can spread the virus like anyone else.” The health care provider was asked that in the event the vaccine be made mandatory, who should be exempt from having to take it?
