2 words...Science Czar (John Holdren, author of Ecoscience”. God protects my family from disease. I can understand why folks choose to go the vaccination route, but we prefer faith. My 95 year old relatives never received man-made immunizations and they are going strong towards 100. Concerning government, Leviathan does what it pleases, whenever it pleases...
You said it. You couldn’t pay me enough to get one of these shots.
I just looked up John Holdren on Google, and what I found out is that he has a PhD in some sort of physics; his background does not make him an expert on public health, nor do I see that he is influential in setting *any* kind of public health policy. People who set the public health policies are actually physicians and medical researchers, and they examine the work of thousands of medical researchers in order to come up with the best, science-based policies.
No offense, but you can choose to believe that God protects you from disease all you want, but the evidence is that no amount of faith protects anyone from infectious disease. I'm sure all of the people who were dying of the Black Death in medieval Europe prayed a lot to be spared from the disease--but that disease was devastating. Even before the days of vaccination, a small number of people lived to ripe old ages--that doesn't mean anything except that they were lucky, and managed to avoid becoming infected or did not become very sick when they did encounter those pathogens.
Back in the 1800s, it was very common for people to pose their dead relatives in life-like positions and take their picture. They did this because photography was so difficult and expensive in those days that the picture of the loved one in death was often the only picture ever taken of that person. Those pictures are on the internet now. One striking thing about them is the number of dead children featured in those pictures. Infants, toddlers, pre-teens... sometimes, even whole families were arranged in those pictures. The most common reason for those deaths was infectious disease.
God did help us combat infectious disease. He did so by giving some of us high intelligence, strong curiosity, and a burning desire to end those diseases that still kill people today. We've used those gifts very effectively, and found a lot of cures and preventatives--but we still have a ways to go. Infectious disease is still a top ten killer.
