Sophia Eppolito of the Associated Press reports, “Members of the faith widely known as the Mormon church remain deeply divided on vaccines and mask-wearing despite consistent guidance from church leaders.” The disagreements about the public health measures seem to break down along political lines. “Some Latter-day Saints have accused those who promote anti-vaccine rhetoric of apostasy, a term that is associated with wickedness and describes when individuals turn away from church principles,” Eppolito writes. Others, however, see vaccination as a personal decision that is wholly outside the church’s sphere of influence and should not be questioned.
