US Secretary of Unhealthy and Inhuman Services (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr is clearly not a good human being.

HHS Sec Kennedy is not a medically-educated person. He seems to have obtained his ~medical knowledge~ via rumors and unsubstantiated, even unproven, assertions.
And that seems to be the basis of his policies for the United States.
But in the Trump admin, why should competent people be expected to serve us?

[Didn't pull that out of my @$$; line appeared in a book I'm reading. Never heard it before.]

Sounds like a terrific book.
I hope the pit fiends at the Amazon.com bibliocide facility don't destroy any copies of it.

That line you cited reminded me of Graham Greene writing in The Power and the Glory (1940):
"Church is for women, God is for men." [sic].
Graham Greene's struggles with God, Catholicism, and the Church of England (COE) are reminiscent of William Shakespeare dealing with Queen Elizabeth I and the Protestant Reformation, which is an entire chapter or three to explore at a different time.

Can someone please show me the verse or quote or whatever that allows folks to take a "religious" exemption from vaccines. Are they still allowed to take Tylenol or have open heart surgery?

To my Fellow Traveler with a sharp eye for the comely lasses, your wish is my command.
Here is the exact verse that allows religious exemptions from vaccines in the US: Read it for yourself

Sickness and death rising for kids due to "religious" lunatics who routinely pick and choose which bible verses to follow on a fluctuating basis.

It is the basis of Western individualism, why don't people know where your government and its ideals come from, why are you people so ignorant.
CCC Paragraph 1790 "A human being must always obey the certain judgment of his conscience. If he were deliberately to act against it, he would condemn himself." www.vatican.va
The whole point of Western individualism is that the individual is paramount, and actually has a conscience and unalienable rights, that are actually derived from god.
Liberalism in the formal sense means if the individual doesn't want to do something, they don't have to.
When did Liberals become fascist authoritarians?
For Islam:
Halal certification. While Islam doesn't think vaccinations are negative or not allowed, in fact even obligatory. Halal certification is a problem. Some vaccines use porcine (pig) gelatin.
