NUN SUES D.C. MAYOR OVER COVID-19 VACCINATION MANDATE

by RTM Staff
March 12, 2022

A nun, who is also a board-certified surgeon and retired U.S. Army colonel, has
sued the District of Columbia for refusing to grant her a religious exemption to
the city’s COVID-19 vaccination mandate.

Sister Deidre “Dede” Byrne worked as a physician and served a tour in
Afghanistan before becoming a nun. She now oversees and practices medicine
inside a free clinic operated by the Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts of
Jesus and Mary, and offers abortion pill reversals.

“Sister Dierdre has sought — and been denied — a religious exemption from DC’s
health worker COVID-19 vaccination mandate,” said attorney Christopher Ferrara
of the Thomas More Society.

As a Roman Catholic, “she can have nothing to do with abortion-connected
vaccines,” Ferrara told Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” Thursday night. Yet all
three COVID-19 vaccines approved in the United States have involved the use of
cell lines derived from an abortion somewhere in the development or production
process.

 * Johnson & Johnson designed, developed, and produced its vaccine using the
   PER.C6, a cell line derived from an abortion performed in 1985; and
 * Both Modern and Pfizer tested their vaccines on the HEK293 cell line, a
   line of fetal kidney cells derived from an abortion performed in 1973.

Although D.C. officials “conceded the sincerity of Sister Deidre’s religious
objection to being vaccinated,” they denied her request and “have not granted a
single request for religious exemption from the Vaccine Mandate,” according to
a legal complaint filed on the nun’s behalf.

The sister says the city gave her five days to get vaccinated and, when she
refused to comply, the city suspended her medical license.

“I’ve closed my clinics for the month. I can’t see patients. I just can’t help
anyone,” Sister Dede told “The World Over” host Raymond Arroyo of EWTN. “I feel
like I’m just a little tip of an arrow of so many people who are being forced to
do the same thing.”

Ferrara says that officials dithered for six months in analyzing her petition
for a religious exemption before turning her down on the grounds that
“[g]ranting your request would create an undue hardship upon DC Health.” Ferrara
says that gambit is legally untenable, because only an employer can cite an
“undue burden,” and the nun does not work for the health department.

“This represents yet another example of the intersection of politics and
bureaucratic intransigence, and religious liberty. And the result is a
constitutional trainwreck,” he said.

Ferrara has sued Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser, the director of the
District of Columbia Department of Health, and the District itself to allow the
sister to resume her medical ministry.

The city’s actions violate the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom
Restoration Act, which President Bill Clinton signed in 1993, he argues. RFRA
bars the government from forcing anyone to violate his or her deeply held
religious beliefs unless it can prove it is acting to further a “compelling
government interest” and is using “the least restrictive means” possible.

Her attorneys say the city allowed her to volunteer her medical expertise during
the height of the pandemic when no vaccine existed, and that she has natural
immunity after having contracted the coronavirus.

In addition to her duties at the convent and its pro bono medical clinic, Sister
Dede gained a national profile after she spoke about the right to life during
the 2020 Republican National Convention. As The Daily Wire reported, Sister Dede
told the RNC:

“As a physician, I can say, without hesitation, life begins at conception,” she
said. “While what I have to say may be difficult for some to hear, I am saying
it because I’m not just pro-life, I’m pro-eternal life, and I want all of us to
end up in heaven together someday.”

“Which brings me to why I’m here today. Donald Trump is the most pro-life
President that this nation has ever had, defending life at all stages,” she
continued. “His belief in the sanctity of life transcends politics. President
Trump will stand up against Biden-Harris, who are the most anti-life
presidential ticket ever, even supporting the horrors of late-term abortion and
infanticide.”

She went on to call the unborn “the largest marginalized group in the world.”
“Followers of Christ,” she said, “are called to stand up for life against the
politically correct or fashionable of today.”
