Vaccination refusal among the parents of pediatric population is emerging globally, regardless of religious or political background or geographical location. In many countries legal systems advise how to react to vaccination refusal (44). For example, in Croatia vaccination is mandatory, the law is clear, but the practice of vaccination and the court judgments are not standardized. The legislators are unlikely to enact legal limitations of religious or philosophical exemption (4,5).
The number of vaccination refusals based on religious exemption is increasing. The question is whether religious freedom is a threat to public health, in this case to the vaccination system (45).
There are many publications regarding the religious exception of vaccination (6,14,15) based on the rights of religious freedom. Most of these publications refer to religious exemption for immunization. However, religion can provide perspectives on vaccination that are rarely used in debates on this topic. For example, the notions of solidarity, risk sharing, or taking the risk of vaccination for those who cannot be vaccinated because of medical contraindication or because of their conditions.

Watch and be careful how the other religions couch this vaccine as one can see in 2016 they have already contrived a way around your religious exemptions.
Vatican News reports that the Vatican City State and the Holy See have invited people to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, “to make everyone aware that the vaccine is not only to safeguard their own health, but also that of other people.”It stated it is “our duty to offer all residents, employees and their families the opportunity to be immunized against this dreaded disease.”
The pope may not have our back...
... John Moses Browning always will.
There’s a reason our country was founded on religious freedom and not Catholicism. But where are the Protestants?
Protestant view
In Protestantism, there are various denominations without a supreme leading moral figure, such as the Pope in the Catholic Church. Protestantism accentuates individual freedom and gives parents the right to decide whether to vaccinate their children or not. According to Ruijs (16,17), Orthodox Protestant parents who refuse vaccination on religious grounds (17) claim that vaccination is an act of interfering with divine providence. Those who actually vaccinated their children consider the side-effects of vaccination as a God’s sign that they made a wrong decision. On the other hand, pro-vaccine parents believe vaccination to be a gift of God (17). Rujis also found that the religious leaders from the same denomination had different standpoints on vaccination: some do not address the topic of vaccination because it is generally accepted, the others deliberately leave the choice to the members of their congregation, and the third address the negative connotation regarding vaccination in their religious work (16).
Catholicism has a similar position:
The Catechism (#1782) quotes from the Vatican II document, Dignitatis humanae: ‘Man has the right to act in conscience and in freedom so as personally to make moral decisions. “He must not be forced to act contrary to his conscience. Nor must he be prevented from acting according to his conscience, especially in religious matters.”’
Basically, the Pope’s power to tell us how to handle what a government forces us to do is imaginary.
No, just claim you belong to the REAL CATHOLIC church.
Almost every state has religious exemptions. We have fought for years for this right.
You did not read this very closely. They are not going to order you to take this vaccination, your religion is going to be used to shame you into solidarity.
Please read that last paragraph very closely.
And just like that...buy, sell, barter, work and even church...they have planned this a very long time. This manipulation is YEARS in the making. YEARS. Centuries actually.
