    I think it is always good when spiritual matters, that far exceed the mundane matters of this earth, are included in discussions. All of this stuff that we spend so much time fussing and fuming over, such as politics, won't be worth a plug nickel beyond our life on this present heavens and earth. Not that we can't discuss such matters but we(including myself) need to keep things in perspective.

    After just 53 deaths caused by the swine flu vaccine in the 70s they pulled it. Far far more than that have died and thousands all over the world are suffering irreparable side effects

    This is not true. There have been deaths related to anaphylaxis, which is expected, but the actual risk of a serious side-effect is 0.0021%. Given the chance of dying of covid is much greater the vacvine is safe.

    In fact, the anti-covid-vaxers here have said your chances of dying of vovid (at .5 %to .3% ) is effectively zero.

    That means your chance of a serious adverse effect from a vacvine (which is 0.0021%) is effectively zero as well.

    If you choose to dismiss all the VAERS data. And you do.

    A correction to my last post:

    The 0.0021% is the statistical chances of dying post-vaccination taken from VAERS. This does not mean dying of something actually connected to a vaccine. A 98 year old woman who dies of cancer but was vaccinated the month prior would be listed in VAERS (just as treatment for alcoholism is listed in VAERS). VAERS does not connect events with vaccines but is a database of events for the CDC to utilize.

    So people have a .3% to .5% chance of dying (statistically as a whole) from covid and a 0.0021% of dying in the months following a vaccine to include deaths unrelated to a vaccine.

    If the .3% to .5% is essentially zero then the 0.0021% is also essentially zero and the anti-covid-vaxers are making mountains out of molehills in their hypocrisy.

    So like how they report Covid deaths? If you die with Covid it must have been Covid that killed you... :rolleyes:

    Yep. A guy I fish with died of Covid recently. He had Covid six weeks ago. Got over it. Back fishing, working, healthy as a hog. Had a heart attack and "died of Covid."

    This is a less than useless statement—it is perverted and has no place in the debate. This could be said of anything that happens as the result of another’s actions. It in no way legally absolves the guilt of the one who caused the injury or death.

    For the purposes of legal discussion, one cannot blame his own actions on God, nor is it biblical to do so. But if you insist on doing so, then you should back up and argue that trying to avoid COVID-19 in any way is to resist God’s will. Or is that your position?

    No, it does not. For instance, Judas Iscariot was not legally absolved. John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. (NKJV)

    Luke 4:9-12 Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written:

    ‘He shall give His angels charge over you,
    To keep you,’

    and,

    ‘In their hands they shall bear you up,
    Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ”

    And Jesus answered and said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ” (NKJV)
