No, but they have fought very hard for the right to prevent their children from getting one.
Just like the Christian Scientists have fought for the right to complete, outright medical neglect of their children and got that enshrined into law, as well as shoving up Ellen Whites made up word definitions into the dictionary.
They celebrate children choosing to die rather than receive blood transfusions in their propaganda, which probably means that they’re making the decision out of a desired matryrdom, but at least a teenager can meaningfully choose.
Its the strategies for denying medical care to infants and small children that particularly upset me. I tend to recognize the state as having an obligation to overrule “parent rights” when a child’s life is in danger. I’m furious that due to their stupid, barely consistent belief system and absolutely imbecilic interpretation of a single Bible line about “eating blood” there are children who did not grow up. (As well as all the children that did grow up, but were told not to go to college and expect a future, or had their sexual abuse covered up the way that their fucking secret (leaked if you look) elder’s manual that gave a play by play for covering up sexual abuse.)
I never heard about them stopping vaccinations.
They won’t do blood transfusions.
Are they stopping you from getting a transfusion?

Almost as if letting people have different opinions leads to conflict.
I’m cool with people choosing to decline medical care for themselves.
Ie, a fourteen year old choosing to die is upsetting, and he was indoctrinated, but it was his choice.
