Do you have examples? If that were true, religious taboos would be more rational.
I mean, a lot of religions don’t particularly denounce cannibalism. Catholicism is famously based on eating the flesh of Christ, and it’s repeated in every Sunday mass. And the Christian Bible also makes several references to incest, like with the story of Lot and his daughters.
Medicalized secular acceptance/resistance toward vaccination has been picked up by religious organizations and turned into a sectarian belief.
The NIH even had a study illustrating how outreach to religious leadership heavily impacted how communities adopted vaccination.

Virtually every modern world religion has a stated position on murder generally speaking, human sacrifice specifically, and dietary taboos around cannibalism.

Vaccines? Has that ever been a taboo? That’s a general and recent attitude.
Alright, fair with cannibalism being frowned upon. I still can’t think of many more significant examples.
