Makes sense to me. My dad had a 1976 Ford pickup that had a lot of transmission problems. Therefore, I will not even consider buying a 2009 Ford pickup, because 33 years ago, they had problems, and therefore, are highly likely to have the same problems. (not really; I’m using this to illustrate the fact that comparing a vaccine of today to one that was manufactured 33 years ago is asinine).
As for your friend, if she’s willing to lose her job rather than take the shot, why doesn’t she stand up for her principles and quit? Far more honorable than lying (in addition, she may be putting her nursing license in jeopardy if she lies for this reason).
Good point about my friend - ironically, she’s extremely liberal and we navigate the world very differently. She is able to justify many things that I am not okay with, nonetheless, we are friends and I pray for her and her whole family.
