Reply to comment by lolbojack in DOJ: Salt Lake City plastic surgeon among 4 charged in alleged COVID vaccine card scheme by AudibleNod

No, the Church is actually very pro-vaccine much to the chagrin of the far right. It’s very strongly encouraged and even in the official handbook.

If potential missionaries refuse vaccines, they’re not allowed to leave the US. They also regularly donate to charities that provide vaccinations globally.

Most members are conservatives as much as they are Mormons.

Right, but they’re not all far right. An example is the dichotomy of Utah’s senators. Romney and Lee don’t like/endorse each other and represent the different parts of Utah.

But there are very liberal members who were/are high profile: see Harry Reid.

Yea but they are old too. Old dead people don't give the church money.
