Do you think not wanting to get vaccinated because of a persons religious faith is a ridiculous reason? When it can have profoundly negative effects on the nonreligious it can. Israel's level of vaccinations has stalled. The number one reason is that the ultraorthodox are refusing to be vaccinated. Their refusal means hospitals get overloaded with patients, endangering the health of those who don't subscribe to their beliefs.

Again, I fail to understand the nexus between religion and the rejection of science. I've certainly never seen that doctrine taught in any church.

It's very unfortunate that a common belief among the religious is that they somehow have a right to project their beliefs (as opposed to their faith) upon other people. Just apart from spreading the virus by refusal to get vaccinated, increasing the likelihood of virus mutations due to increased infections and the very real problem of PTSD among medical staff having to deal with the horror. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not necessarily true. I have looked into a number of the claims vax skeptic/anti-vax/conspiracy theorists post. None have had any value based on evidence, usually an invisible conspiracy or a undefined danger in the far future. Sometimes an opinion of a qualified person who is a minority opinion, so posts on youtube instead of publishing in a journal where they would be peer-reviewed. The most interesting one was the "what about long term effects?" which I found the answers to and have shared here. More than once the "evidence" they post does not even support their own position. On the contrary when I post evidence for the number of vax skeptic/anti-vax/conspiracy theorists that are being hospitalized and dying, the most common response is a wisecrack or an insult or the laughing emoji. One thing I will apologize for is calling the vax skeptic/anti-vax/conspiracy theorists "juvenile". That was unfair to juveniles, vax skeptic/anti-vax/conspiracy theorists are more accurately "infantile". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
