Scientology Scripture is anti-vaccine.

We start with a recent observation by Mike Rinder, who notes that Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard attacked vaccines.

Mike Rinder quotes Hubbard as follows:

Hubbard on Vaccinations

* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *

“They go around scratching people for smallpox and they’ve cut the smallpox down in the world most amazingly. I am very sure they’ve cut it down to the degree they’ve made people believe they wouldn’t get smallpox or something of the sort. But do you know that the first 100 soldiers admitted into military hospitals with smallpox in World War II had each one of them been vaccinated properly and in the proper period of time to be immune?

The first 100 soldiers admitted into military hospitals all been properly vaccinated and they all had smallpox. You see science has a habit of saying “that is the answer!” And after that instead of being reasonable about it, to point their professional pens, to point their lecture guns, their grades systems, straight at the individual and say now don’t think about it anymore, don’t examine it again, don’t look it over because we’ve said so. Get the idea?

And all you have to do is go around and take some of the favorite theories held by these people, like vaccination, just take this favorite theory, and now go out and actually look. And know and deduce and have intuitions about it and finally come up with an answer everybody can agree with and the answer that everybody can agree with is that vaccination has very little to do with the situation.

Now it’s very true that those American soldiers who had had typhus shots when they were put in prison camps in Europe did not in any large proportion, get typhus. And with great glee we see all medical science making a great deal out of this saying “look look look! Look how effective our typhus shots are.” Let me point out something else to you. There’s very little typhus in the United States. These soldiers just happened to be, possibly, a strain of people that don’t get typhus easily, see? You see how smelly the scientific logic is if you once hold it up? So cover it up quickly and put it away if it begins to smell like Limburger and go on your own ability to know thereafter. You got it?”

According to the official Scientology website:

FAQ

The definition of "Scripture" specifically includes Hubbard''s "recorded lectures," such as his Advanced Clinical Course lecture on the subject of vaccines.

Finally, Scientologists are required to strictly comply with such scriptures pursuant to the Scientology Policy Letter titled "Keeping Scientology Working," which states:

Three: Knowing it is correct.

Four: Teaching correctly the correct technology.

Five: Applying the technology.

Six: Seeing that the technology is correctly applied.

Seven: Hammering out of existence incorrect technology.

Eight: Knocking out incorrect applications.

Nine: Closing the door on any possibility of incorrect technology.

Ten: Closing the door on incorrect application.

* * * * * END EXCERPT * * * * *

Note that in Step 7 Scientologists are required to, "Hammer[] out of existence incorrect technology."
