Law Should atheists/satanists be exempt from the vaccine?

Recently, the new New York Governor, Governor Kathy Hochul, gave a speech/sermon at a church about the relationship of God and the vaccines.

An exerpt from the sermon:



Read what she says carefully, atheists. The Governor of New York believes that the vaccine was a product of God, through divine inspiration. This makes the scientists and doctors are a sort of priest or prophet class. She says that God wants everyone to get vaccinated, and that to go unvaccinated is to sin against God. She then calls on the vaccinated to become her apostles, and to go out and vaccinated others, as though the act of vaccination is some sort of Baptism.

How do atheists or satanists on this board feel about this? Is it right for the Governor of New York to mandate what she sees as a religious ceremony? Can people be forced to into baptisms?
Would seem only fair if we also accredit god for the virus as well?
