We may fall into the danger with thinking that religion and fear of God, Allah or the Al Mighty produces the existing fatalistic attitudes towards the disease, as for a matter of fact also viruses are part of the creation.

The main distintive Islamic concern is much simpler as lots of believers worry that vaccinations contain pork and non halal items.

Whereas the second major issue is the presence…
