I have no plans to get the vaccine but it is not because I worry about its effects. I just don't normally do vaccines. I got a flu vaccine for the first time in 45 years because my husband thought I should and a doctor sort of nagged me to get one. That was a couple of years ago.
45 years ago my husband and I got a flu shot together and became so ill for ten days we could not get out of bed. Someone had to come and take care of our children and us. I was told recently that the vaccines back then had live viruses but now they use dead ones, which makes no sense to me, why would our body fight off a dead virus.
Since I am not a medical professional I don't presume to know how all of this works. The problem is that we live in such a wicked world now that I cannot trust the pharmacy industry to care more about our health than they do their bottom line, that is profit.
Many workers in the Pharmacy industry are unbelievers not seeking God for His medicine, even basing their findings on the evolution they believe in, they will not be able to always come to the right conclusions based on God's Word.
I am not worried about what the vaccine will do to me but I have little confidence that it does anything at all. The news media is hyping the need for the vaccine so radically, this alone makes me suspicious. Since I know the media is mostly liberal and has an agenda I don't trust them to tell the truth.
Here is the thing: we must trust Christ first. If He tells you to get the vaccine, do it! If He leads you to resist the pressure to take the vaccine, do it. No one should pressure anyone else about this vaccine. It is quite possible it is harmful but God can prevent the believer from its effects. Or, yes I dare say it, it may not be as harmful as the far right is claiming.
I see so many videos about the terrible harm of this vaccine but without the ability to actually vet those in the videos. This is happening on both sides, the liberals and the conservatives alike are spinning things, I trust none of it, I only trust Christ.
We have a faction of conservatives that are more interested in politics, vaccines, and everything in between than they are in Christ. I know this because they rarely speak of Christ but are continually speaking about the politics and the vaccine. I may take a big hit for these comments but I must tell the truth.
Satan has managed to deter believers from our mission here on earth, that is the gospel of Christ and the encouragement of the saints. If we are doing this we have little time to be concerned about the politics and the vaccines.
I know I may take heat for this post, if anyone comes to argue with me or convince me to be more radically fearful I will delete their comments. I have heard all the arguments about politics and the vaccine, I need no more information. When Christ settles a matter with me I do not go back to rehash whether or not I have heard Him correctly.
I have personally been greatly helped by health care over the years and the modern methods of it. I cannot condemn all of it any more than I can endorse all of it. Everything has it's good and bad, we must seek God for His will in everything we do and trust He will guide us along our path.
I do not pressure people about what they should do in terms of health care because I know that Christ in the believer can tell them and believe me, Christ knows our bodies and which are good doctors for us, we need not throw the entire system in the trash because we find a flaw in something. God will lead us where He wants us to go and what to do.
It is possible to undermine the fragile faith of new believers by nagging them about a virus or politics, deterring them from seeking Christ in them for the proper response for themselves.
I am appalled at some believers who will accuse other brothers and sisters as unsaved because they do not believe exactly the same things in matters of politics and health care. Satan loves this fighting among the brethren over things that have no importance in our salvation or the gospel.
There is a mania occurring in many churches and among believing families, causing division and hatred that should not be in the believer.
Let's stay focused brothers and sisters, focused on Christ, our mission here, and our home going!
Just a suggestion!
Galatians 4:16
"16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?"
I hope I will not be an enemy of my brethren because of a disagreement on politics or health care!
