@Deborah_ My mind goes to the many, many dedicated Christians who have studied medicine, etc., - a lot of them women - and have served valiantly in hospitals - often overseas for decades in difficult situations. I think of all the pioneering women - including conscientious Christian women - who studied medicine in the 19th and early 20th centuries, sometimes in the face of vested, male prejudice - and succeeded in Providence in helping so many people. I just don't buy the extraordinary idea that if a Christian seeks and uses medical knowledge this indicates a supposed lack of trust in God. God does use means.Not at all.
Presumably you eat food grown by farmers and sold by shopkeepers who don't necessarily believe in God, and use a computer that was made by someone who doesn't necessarily believe in God. Why is a vaccine any different?
Come to think of it, why do you assume that all scientists and doctors are unbelievers?
And why do you expect God to step in with a miracle to heal you when He has provided you with a vaccine?
