This probably has nothing to do with Facebook. Orthodox Jews and some Muslims sometimes reject vaccines on religious grounds.

  No they don't. This is oft repeated, and not true. They reject vaccination for the same reasons as other anti-vaxxers, there's no religious component, just a human one.

      Usually people post to disagree, but I guess you posted that to confirm what I said?

    I wonder if it would be worthwhile to clean up (for lack of a better term) vaccine production's use of pork (and other?) animal products, aborted fetal stem cell lines, etc. to reduce some of the religious objections. Or would it not matter, and people would find something else to support their belief?
