The ones that are more concerned with an imagined afterlife than with the health of their children.

I had a friend who was a JW when I was a kid. It was forbidden by them but her mother went and did it anyhow because she was sick of fighting with the school system.

I know lots of people who worry about giving their kids immunizations regardless of their religion. There will always be the unknown where a very small percentage might react to vaccine, and a parent who isn’t aware of it is living in a closet. The point I think we all need to recognize is if we don’t get the shots and do come down with say swine flu than we are exposing others to a virus we could have prevented. With the potential involved with swine flu if it takes the same path as the Spanish flue of 1918 we could lose a third of the planets population, and that third would be the children and young adults. I personally question how a person can see the potential for millions of deaths and not be responsible enough to get immunized religion or no religion.

most vaccines are genetically modified which is forbidden in both the religion of judaism and christianity as can be found in lev. 19:19 and mat. 15:13 to name a couple. cannibilism is forbidden by most religions and because aborted human fetus parts can be found in many vaccines that is against those religions. many parts of animals which are considered unclean in the bible such as pig which can not be consumed or its carcass touched can be found in vaccines. you can reference lev. 11 for unclean animals. also blood can be found in some vaccines which is forbidden to consume in lev. 7:10-14. you can find information on which vaccines are genetically modified and have human aborted fetus parts in them ect. by asking your doctor for the pamphlets they receive from the drug companies to promote those vaccines. in those pamphlets they will mention what they contain and you can argue each vaccine based on what it contains to the bible.
