Tortured Old Man

 

Pope Francis has instituted vaccine mandate for people working at Vatican. Interestingly, many of the people in this country seeking religious exemption to Covid vaccine are Catholic. How can vaccine be against their faith when the Pope supports it?

 

This is a bit dated, but shows that most religious people in this country, including Catholics, are not against vaccination and are at about the same rate of acceptance as non-religious people. The exceptions are white evangelicals and Hispanic Protestants. My sense is that most anti-vaxxers who try for a religious exemption are simply trying to game the system because of their beliefs and fears about the vaccines:

“Religious Affiliation and Vaccine Hesitancy
Among religious groups, patterns of vaccine uptake have remained largely consistent between March and June. Jewish Americans are most likely to be vaccine accepters (85%), but, notably, they have not increased in likelihood since March (85%), even though all other religious groups have seen at least 10-percentage-point increases in acceptance.

Hispanic Catholics have increased most in vaccine acceptance, from 56% in March to 80% in June. Nearly eight in ten white Catholics (79%) are also vaccine accepters, up from 68% in March. Other Protestants of color (69%) increased by a similar amount from 45% in March. Other non-Christians (78%), other Christians (77%), the religiously unaffiliated (75%), and white mainline Protestants (74%) are also above the 70% mark, with increases of 11 to 15 percentage points in each group.[1] Black Protestants (66%) and Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (65%) fall around the two-thirds mark, with similar increases since March. Hispanic Protestants and white evangelical Protestants remain the least likely religious groups to be vaccine accepters (56% for both groups), but both groups nonetheless saw double-digit increases in acceptance since March (43% and 45%, respectively).”
