s/o Religious Text Condemming Vax

S/O of my church needs documentation thread.

Does anyone have any specific doctrines/scriptures/etc from various religions that actually condemn the practice of vaccinating? (I know many are open to interpretation, I am just curious what you know.)

This is in regards to the Colordo thread, right?

http://www.co.larimer.co.us/humanser...unizations.pdf
In the event that the caretaker relative indicates that immunizations are against his or her religion, the technician shall request that the caretaker indicate in a signed, written statement that s/he is a practicing specified religion and that it is against the religious doctrine to immunize a child. This statement shall be considered verification of the religious objection and the child or children will be exempted from the immunization requirements

Personally, I would give them the absolute minimum you can get away with. It doesn't sound like they are asking you to name your religion or show actual proof that it is against your religious doctrine, so you shouldn't be expected to provide that. Otherwise, they would be venturing into religious discrimintation territory by witholding benefits unless you belong to a specific religion, KWIM? I would start out with a simple notarized letter, stating that the practice of vaccination conflicts with your personal religious beliefs. And if they continue to ask for more details, maybe ammend to your letter to explain that while you are not a member, you hold similar beliefs to that of say... Christian Scientists, for example.

I am not looking to give them anything. I was just wondering what different religions say about vax.

I believe that vaxes go against the Wiccan ideal of "Harm None," so being Wiccan I am a non vaxer and intactivist.
