Why would I inject an experimental vaccine into my body for a virus that I already have a 99.95% chance of surviving if I get it (without taking anything). I can even pop some vitamin C, D and zinc and probably increase my survival rate to 99.99%. It's a no brainer.
If you follow the statistics follow ALL the statistics.

Like a "one in three" chance of having permanent damage to one or more of your organs.
A "one in four" chance of it being lung tissue damage and you now will be married to an oxygen bottle.
One in ten chance of severe kidney damage which will cause such things as kidney stones or kidney failure at an early age.
One in three chance of losing some taste or smell capabilities permanently...meaning smelling smoke when your house is on fire or the rotten food you might eat will be a real possibility.

Sure... probably going to live. But it's not going to be the same life as before.

And then there's a huge question about birth defects.
Look at what Zitka virus does...it's not just a fever that you survive anymore.

An uncle of mine back a hundred years ago lived in TN...he had Tuberculosis and the doctor told him to move to Arizona to get into dry air.... doctor also told him that if he ever came back to TN that he would die.

So he moved to Arizona and got to feeling much much better...so much do that he thought that a quick trip there and back wouldn't harm him too much and he could visit with everyone he was missing so much.

So...he went to TN...and while there got hit by a truck and he died...just as the doctor warned him.

So now... the doctors can be right and wrong at the same time. Those waiting might not get an effective Vaccine...I'm not really liking the next two coming in a few weeks.

AstraZeneca is made from aborted fetal tissue. J&J I'm not sure of...but it's only 60% effective. (Preliminary results and no word on the 40 of problems)

Wifey has been...and as soon as I can...I will. But I'm much more selective about which one I get. I want either Moderna or Pfizer...I prefer the Moderna. The Novovax one is showing great promise too but it's a month away at least. (No fetal tissues either)








Aww,.. I'm sorry to hear about your uncle. :(

Not quite that many...but a lot of people are...
There's a real shortage of regulators and bottles these days...
Just ask a medical supply house about their supplies of them.

I just got my vaccination. It doesn't prevent you from getting Covid 19 but lessens the impact of it if you do so you have a greater survival rate. So you still have to keep safe and obey the lockdown restrictions.

The Pfizer one.
What I'm hearing...
Is that most places actually have both but they treat the Pfizer like a hot potato... trying to use it before they start on the Moderna.

Because the Pfizer is so much more fragile they want rid of it faster and before the more stable Moderna Vaccine.

They also have the Oxford one here. You can have that if you have allergies that might be triggered by the Pfizer one.

Opposing vaccination is nothing new: here's a cartoon from the 1940s
A worldwide vaccination programme has since enabled us to eliminate smallpox

@UnrulyBeauty One could also say that funeral parlors have a vested interest in ppl not getting vaccinated, although their managements would not be so sick minded as to admit it.

Life is more complex, similarly, than to categorize people in the health professions as effective or ineffective as to whether they profess faith or not. Providence is far, far bigger than that.
You are absolutely right, life is more complex. For example, I have never been able to take a flu shot, many years ago my dad got a flu shot, and he contracted an extremely rare disease. His doctor informed him that if he had any children, they should never take a flu vaccine. I am nearly 60 years old and have never had the flu, at least that I know of. I won’t be taking the covid vaccine either. There are many factors to consider in this world.

There's no dichotomy here. God gave us brains, and a commission to "subdue the earth" - which is what we are doing when we fight disease.

I will definitely be getting the COVID vaccine, and when I do I will thank God for it and for the people who created it.
When do you plan on getting vaccinated? People on here keep talking about it, but I haven't heard anyone say that they have taken the plunge. Do us a favor, Deborah, and let us know how it goes for you, okay?

No one will ever eliminate sicknesses and diseases. “Eliminate” one and a new one will emerge.

The weapon of the pestilence will never be taken away out of God’s arsenal by man.

Leviticus 26:25
And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

Psalms 78:50
He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence

Jeremiah 21:9
He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey.

The sure way to be protected from illness is this:

Psalms 91:1-6
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. ...He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
