At some point in time, Rabbi Michoel Green was allowed to speak before the Connecticut General Assembly on the issues of vaccines. He said that vaccines violate Jewish laws because Deuteronomy law prohibits needle wounds "if not for direct curative benefit for patient". Preventative vaccines might be acceptable, but not for STDs because in Green's estimate there is no chance that a child, particularly an Orthodox Jewish child, of getting an STD. He says that individuals are not to put themselves at even a negligible risk for the "herd". In direct regards to the Noahide Laws Rabbi Green says "Genesis 9:5 prohibits Noahides from self-inflicting wounds or exposing oneself to risk"

Oral Testimony
By Rabbi Michoel Green
Judaism prohibits current vaccine schedule for several reasons [1].
The schedule is also a grave violation of the Seven Noahide Laws, a
universal code for all humankind [2]. The fact that it's mandatory is an
assault on the very concept of religion, i.e. that a human being is
subordinate only to his/her Divine creator. In effect, there is no major
world religion that does not support religious exemption.
Foot Notes:
[1] Deuteronomy 14:1 prohibits needle wounds if not for direct curative benefit for patient. Preventative benefit qualifies, but only if it prevents an actual risk of disease. It is dubious whether an STD like Hep-B or HPV poses any substantive risk to a young child, or to any orthodox Jewish child. Deuteronomy 4:15 prohibits exposing oneself to risk, even negligible risk, and even for the sake of a so-called herd. Avoda Zara 29b prohibits deriving benefit from human cadavers. Abortion is akin to murder, as per Genesis 9:6. It is forbidden to compensate a company for the abortions and live dissections of human beings that it committed by harvesting the fetal tissue for human cell lines in numerous vaccines. Purchasing vaccines that contain aborted fetal tissue is a violation of Leviticus 19:14, as it enables and encourages these companies to commit their heinous deeds.
[2] Genesis 9:5 prohibits Noahides from self-inflicting wounds or exposing oneself to risk. Abortion is murder, as per ibid 9:6. A Noahide is prohibited from compensating a murderer. Rambam, Mishne Torah, Laws of Rotzeach 2:2. See Sheva Mitzvot HaShem by Rabbi Moshe Vainer, volume 1, page 58, regarding the precise prohibition of a Noahide of encouraging others to violate the Noahide Code.
