CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — UPDATE (July 2nd):

We spoke with Tanja Benton’s attorney Doug Hamill Tuesday, who tells us Benton's religion is "Christian non-denominational."
According to the Associated Press, an internet-wide video by the group Project Veritas led to false claims online that Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine contains fetal cells.
The AP says this caused social media users to spread this information online, referencing religious exemptions from the vaccine.
A study by National Geographic shows fetal cells as a part of the testing or development process of the COVID-19 vaccine, but not a direct ingredient.
But, Hamill says Benton believed that the vaccine would be injecting fetal cells into her body.
He says Benton working for a healthcare insurance company creates a bit of a gray area in requesting exemption from the vaccine

"Health care workers like frontline nurses, they sometimes are mandated to have vaccines as a requirement for their job. But this was different, because my client, as most employees of BlueCross, is not a health care worker. You know, BlueCross is an insurance company. They're not a direct health care provider. So this was a little bit of an unusual situation," Hamill says.

In court paperwork before the verdict, attorneys for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee wrote that the insurance company provided Benton reasonable accommodations.
They also argued that testimony in court did not establish that her opposition to the vaccine is part of a comprehensive belief system.
Dalya Qualls White, BCBST SVP and Chief Communications Officer, told us in a statement Tuesday...

"We’re disappointed by the decision. We believe our vaccine requirement was the best decision for our employees and members, and we believe our accommodation to the requirement complied with the law. We appreciate our former employees’ service to our members and communities throughout their time with our company."
