I was specifically addressing your blanket claim:
Religions and other spiritual practices have been opposed to all kinds of medicines and vaccines,
.
I even quoted the excerpt of your comment I was addressing in my last comment (I did so again above).
Religions and other spiritual practices have been opposed to all kinds of medicines and vaccines, because they believe all diseases are caused by bad morals and inadequate spirituality
Try to read up a bit. Search engines are your friend.

Buddhism - Buddhism has no central authority that determines doctrine. Vaccination is widely accepted in predominantly Buddhist countries.
Hinduism - Hinduism has no prohibition against vaccines. While Hindus venerate cows, trace bovine components of certain vaccines have not been identified as a theological concern.
It appears thar you are speaking from a typical exposure (or borderline brainwashing) to political ideology that passes as "religion" in Abrahamic traditions (Christianity, Islam,...). It is these that are staunchly anti science e.g. evolution.
Indic religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism do not consider science and spirituality at odds with each other. Evolution is seen as a manifestation of the divine unitive consciousness unfolding itself.
Look up Sushruta, a 2500 year old Hindu originator of several medical practices including epidemiology, plastic surgery, and surgical implements in use today.

"Hindus find support for, or foreshadowing of evolutionary ideas in scriptures.[5] For example, the concept of Dashavatara can be seen as having some similarities to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.The first incarnation of Vishnu in the form of a fish resembles the evolutionary origin of fish in the Silurian Period.
While the Creation–evolution controversy has seen much debate in US, Middle East and parts of Africa, it is an insignificant issue in India, because of its Hindu-majority population.[6][7] In India, there were minimal references to Darwinism in the 1800s. Elements of Victorian England opposed the idea of Darwinism. Hindus already had present notion of common ancestry between humans and animals. The Hindu dharma believes that the gods have animal features, showing a theory that humans can be reborn again as animals or with their features.[8]"
one reason is that India is a vaccine manufaciring hub, which has been supplying, even donating vaccines to 70+ countries

if the manufacturing hub cant export vaccines, multiple countries suffer.

+1. Pity I dont have mod points right now.
My GOD how big of an idiot one has to be to compare Islamic countries like Pakistan (a failed state) with Indonesia (GDP per capita > India) with "Modi's" India (which decriminalized homosexuality, banned instant-divorce, increased sanitation coverage from 36% to 84% in a country the size of India and more diversified than whole Europe combined).
The only thing India has done is that it has banned multiple foreign funded NGOs that were used for lobbying, which has got the democrats pissed to no end along with not playing balls with China.

Blacklist all industry in China, India, and the rest of the developing world. They are the ones with the most lax environmental controls and the ones less likely to take action. The 3rd world must remain 3rd world.
note that the US is second when it comes to per capita pollution (above India, which has a population thrice as much as the US)
Who doesn't use them? That smartphone in your pocket has exactly the same trigger words.

It was an intentional brainfart though
long answer: no
short answer: yes
Pranayama or controlled breathing is an intrinsic part of Yoga.
Hindu, Buddhist monks use it to calm the mind down in preparation for meditation. The cardiovascular benefits have also been well known in yogic wisdom.
One NIH study there are others.

Lets not forget why India is currently reclaiming Kashmir. The original inhabitants of the state (Kashmiri Hindu Pandits were chased out by Pakistan sponsored radical Islamists) in the 1990s.
"The mischief of the summer of 1989 started with Islamists serving the following notice including warnings from mosque loudspeakers: ‘We order you to leave Kashmir immediately, otherwise your children will be harmed- we are not scaring you but this land is only for Muslims, and is the land of Allah. Sikhs and Hindus cannot stay here’. The threatening note ended with a warning, ‘If you do not obey, we will start with your children. Kashmir Liberation, Zindabad."
