I have a brand new baby and used the “I am Catholic and find it abhorrent that aborted fetal cell lines are used to develop vaccines. My child will not be receiving any that contain these cells. Are there any that do NOT?” The pediatrician had to admit most of them do. I wasn’t confrontational, just stated my piece calmly and said I understood her perspective and training as well, I just couldn’t in good conscience put that material into my child. She’s a good doctor and relented, we will continue to see her.
I actually DO hold those beliefs so this was an entirely valid way to get out of shots. Looks bad for a Catholic health system to kick out a patient with my reasoning, too.
