These people are elderly died-in-the-wool evangelical Christians. Rabidly anti-abortion. Pro Trump. King James Version. Loving and kind. No dancing even. But they are ignorant. Not stupid at all — but ignorant. They aren’t aware of the options to the shot, e.g., “just say ‘no’”, because they aren’t immersed in politics as we are. They don’t know the connection between aborted babies and the vaccines; they simply do not know.
Their doctors, insurance, etc., say to get the shot and they get the shot. They’re from the generation where doctors were god-like and they can’t move away from that mindset.
That’s odd about the insurance companies. There have been a few companies up here that said your life insurance policy is void if you get a shot.
