I was born in in Coaldale, but moved far away at 9 months old. Grew up in though in the Christian Reformed church, but became atheist as I got older. There were a bunch of splits in the Church leading to the formation of the Canadian Reformed Church and the Dutch Reformed Church, both of which were much, much more fundamentalist. Never once heard anyone saying anything in my church about avoiding anything medicinal. Lots of anti homosexual rhetoric, etc. But nothing about not vaccinating.
I have an aunt in the Canadian Reformed Church that we don't see much. She has pretty funny medical beliefs, I'll say that. Salt is actually good for you, but doctors conspire to say otherwise to sell pills. Annual PAP exam is just an excuse for a deviant doctor to feel up a woman, etc.
