This is not true but it seems to repeated very often.

Why do authorities not want the populace to know about conscientious objections?

The link I provided includes conscientious objections, and makes it abundantly clear that they are extremely limited in scope. In particular, nearly every state requires (1) a statement in writing, (2) confirmation from a healthcare and/or faith practitioner, and (3) evidence that the belief is genuine and not a transient product of merely political beliefs. Additionally, many states will not accept a "genuine" belief if it is not also the belief of the complainant's faith.
This is also not entirely true. If you have kids going to school turn the vaccine statement paper over. In many states you just sign it.

It is very odd how this misinformation is _vehemently_ stated as fact.
