Oklahoma pastor running for Senate offers religious exemption forms for vaccines

An Oklahoma pastor running to unseat Sen. James Lankford in the 2022 election cycle is offering religious exemption forms for the COVID-19 vaccine, adding that he will sign them if people opt to join his church.

Jackson Lahmeyer, 29, leads Sheridan Church in Tulsa with his wife, Kendra, and devised a plan with the right-leaning ThriveTime Show podcast host Clay Clark to offer people across the country religious exemption forms for the vaccine. The forms are intended to be given to employers if workers seek to avoid taking the COVID-19 vaccine, the candidate told the Washington Examiner on Wednesday.
