I mean, I\u2019ve had friends who have had cancer,\u201d Wright-Moore said. \u201cI\u2019ve had friends that have had different viruses and they would do different things but I would never, ever tell somebody that you need to do this because I did. Ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She says she applied for a religious exemption twice, but Mayo Clinic denied her request both times.
