State mandated administration of childhood vaccinations is justified

Please, let me address my opponents disbelief in religious conflicts; CHRISTIANITY The bible teaches that there are unclean animals and that we are not to put the unclean into our bodies (Deuteronomy 14). – Vaccines are made from blood products and tissue of animals. (Read, ‘The Sanctity of Human Blood: Vaccination Is not Immunization' by Tim O'Shea for more on this). Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself; (Deuteronomy 14:21) and hut flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. (Genesis 9:4) – i.e. you should not be putting anything from an animal or its blood into your body. What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own. For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. (I Corinthians 6:19,20) – i.e. your body is a temple which houses the Holy Spirit and so you have to look after it and not pollute it. '"We must obey God rather than men." (Acts 5:29) – i.e. Vaccination is an artificial invention made by man to alter immune function. The immune system, on the other hand, is a natural function given by God to protect us from disease. Trusting in manmade vaccination is like saying that we think God didn't make us correctly and that we need artificially ‘boosting' in order to survive. --- MORMONISM Mormons also refer to the bible in conjunction with the book of Mormon, so the above passages should apply to them also. As well as this, their organisation has made it clear they are against termination of pregnancy, and it is known that MMR, MR, Rubella, Varicella (Chickenpox) and other vaccines contain human diploid cells cultured from aborted foetuses. The First Presidency, which is the governing body and highest ranking quorum in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has said, "Abortion must be considered one of the most revolting and sinful practices in this day." (First Presidency (Spencer W. Kimball, N. Eldon Tanner, Marion G. Romney), Priesthood Bulletin, Salt Lake City, Utah: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Feb. 1973, p. 1-2. Clearly, if a Mormon then vaccinates their child with a vaccine containing aborted foetus, this constitutes a contradiction of faith. Their own founder, Joseph Smith, also stated: " Trust in God when sick, and live by faith and not by medicine or poison." (11th edition of the encyclopedia of Brittanica). --- ROMAN CATHOLOCISM Catholics also have the same stance on termination and vaccination: They called the use of human foetal tissue in vaccination, ‘a kind of evil which is widespread in biomedical research and which people rightly think they should combat when they can. ‘The practice of medicine is being made parasitic on the evils of abortion and foetal experimentation and refusing vaccination is one way of seeking to turn medicine from a course which will increasingly subvert people's confidence in it.' (Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales, 1994). --- JEWS Jews also have strict dietary requirements as part of their religion and have to eat or take into the body, animal parts which are KOSHER. Rabbi Simon Dahan recently highlighted this controversy with the latest bird flu scare, when it emerged that the bird flu vaccinations given to livestock may not be kosher, therefore rendering poultry products unsuitable for Jewish people: "If they conduct the vaccination on the lungs or the neck, the animal might not be kosher anymore," Dahan said. "According to Talmudic laws if the oesophagus or the trachea is mutilated, the animal is not considered kosher anymore," he added, considering that if the vaccination would be considered as some kind of mutilation by Jewish law. Furthermore, vaccinating the poultry in the leg might also be a problem because the operation might alter some the animal fragile nerves, which are supposed to stay untouched by the same Talmudic laws," (European Jewish Press, February 2006). Vaccines for people may also be made with animals that aren't kosher, making them against Jewish law. --- My opponent claims that the HPV vaccine is among those that should be mandated. The CDC reports that the vaccines do not protect against all HPV types— so they will not prevent all cases of cervical cancer. About 30% of cervical cancers will not be prevented by the vaccines, so it will be important for women to continue getting screened for cervical cancer (regular Pap tests). Also, the vaccines do not prevent other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). So it will still be important for sexually active persons to lower their risk for other STIs. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says that vaccination should occur for females ages 9 through 26 years and approved by CDC as safe and effective. --- Under question 11, where did you get the information that supports your claim that the vaccination is more effective when administered to newborns? How many children share needles that can spread this disease? --- When will these vaccinations be administered, and who will be checking to make sure that every individual will be receiving every vaccination? In the case of the HPV vaccination, how will the ages at which these vaccinations are administered differentiate? --- 9. Are all children going to get sick if they're not vaccinated? --- Conclusion: My opponent displays complete disregard for the Constitutional rights of the individual, the very basis of which our three-branch government system was based upon. They also communicate the belief that vaccination is the ONLY option to stop these diseases and maintaining the health of the community, which is completely ignoring our bodies natural approach to handling these diseases. I have refuted my opponents claim that these religions permit vaccinations, as their religious texts, when read, directly address and prove this wrong. Vote negation. --- I will post more conflicting religious beliefs in the comments.
