Have/would you take the Covid vaccine?

[Stratton7]

3,000 people out of millions is a very small percentage. Do you people not know how clinical trials work.....? Ever looked up the potentially serious side effects to medications you're on? I take Metformin, and my mom begged me not to go on that drug cuz she read that some rare side effects for it is seizures, coma, and death.
In many cases they're listed as a simple precaution/"covering their butt", whether or not the effects were a result of the medication.
Add to it that the self reporting system in use this time around, you're gonna get reports that could be associated with the vaccs, or could not be. I reported my trip to the ER even though that was most likely caused by my diabetes and blood sugar, just in case the vacc contributed to it (which is highly unlikely)

Which has me wondering, if there are so many side effects to medicines studied for years and years, how much more likely the side effects of a vaccine that has only been out a year? (Give or take) And people were claiming the science backed up behind it in less than a year. *Scratches head*

Why would any Christian want to go down that path.

Here are some Christian responses Earth Wind and Fire:


They are dead already so "get over it."

Make useful something God has created.

They are not human until exit from the womb.

Everyone else is getting the shot.

The authority over us (Romans 13) says to get it.

Those that don't get the shot will spread COVID.

I am afraid of getting sick from COVID-19.

I prayed about it and felt it was ok to get vaccinated.

You and your "pet" sins.

Abortion is just one issue among many and not a greater sin.

Those already living on this earth are more important than any fetus.

I've taken the leap, & slightly (!!!!) sore arm was the only side effect I had (so far anyway).
I had been debating whether to get the shot or no, due primarily because there was absolutely no way the long term side effects could be defined! My wife, an RN wanted to get them, so I told her if she made all the arrangements & all fell into place, I WOULD take it. Should note that I'm 84 & figured that any LONG term effects may not even knock on my door, & if worst case was I gave up habitation in this old shell, I'll meet Jesus face-to-face , so, to quote Hillary, "What difference does it make now"!

I’m glad it worked out for you and the logic at your age is likely the same as I would have. Must admit any Hillary quote makes me ill! I’m also grateful that its turned out well so far to anyone else who has taken it here.

I’ve been anti-covid vaccine since it came from all I’ve learned about it as time has continued and am still unsure. I suppose I could use your same theology that if I don’t take it and succumb, then I’ll be home with the Lord.

If anyone hasn’t voted or responded, please do. Am very interested in what road everyone chose. Thanks.

I do think the right has a ton of unnecessary hysteria about these vaccines, but it's true that it was developed very quickly, not even really FDA approved (except for one), and distributing to the masses has basically been the testing they're doing, and like.....idk. I do think the whole pandemic thing has been pretty overblown. Not as much of a cOnSpIrAcY as the right makes it out to be, but not as necessary as the left makes it out to be.

Re; aborted fetal cells (if that's even true that they are in the vaccines), as Dr Ben Carson (who is prolife) said in regards to using the fetal cells, it's a waste not to use materials that already exist. YMMV.

 

[rlvaughn]

I enrolled I'm the Novavax trial. They just started crossover shots, so I've either had both doses in February or I get my second in a few weeks.

I was pretty sure I was in the placebo group in February, as I had zero side effects. Not even a sore arm. But I'm not so sure now, as round 2 has been side effect free as well, so far.

Maybe it's just me, but I have not noticed you posting lately. Good to see you.

Thank you, brother.

Lastly the vaccine is made from aborted fetus stem.

They are not.

 

[Baptist Believer]

I had the Pfizer vaccine in March. I had slight fatigue for three days after the first dose. The second dose hit much harder. I had a low grade fever and chills the next morning, with fatigue for another three days.

Reactions to the vaccine are indications that one’s immune system is responding properly to the vaccine.

My immune system much of my life has been extremely strong, but I was considered to be extremely high risk because of excess steroids in my system for more than 15 years until 2014 and now a slightly lower level of cortisol in my system as a result.

So, between the tendency to be overly strong, and now recently weaker, I expected to have a stronger reaction than most people.

Do the vaccines come from aborted fetuses? This is a bit more complicated that just yes they do, or no they do not, and sometimes may include the differences in simple lay speech and medical or scientific terminology. From the Nebraska Medicine site:

No, the COVID-19 vaccines do not contain any aborted fetal cells.

However, Pfizer and Moderna did perform confirmation tests (to ensure the vaccines work) using fetal cell lines. And Johnson & Johnson uses fetal cell lines in vaccine development, confirmation and production.

But it's important to have the full context: Fetal cell lines are not the same as fetal tissue.

Fetal cell lines are cells that grow in a laboratory. They descend from cells taken from elective abortions in the 1970s and 1980s. Those individual cells from the 1970s and 1980s have since multiplied into many new cells over the past four or five decades, creating fetal cell lines. Current fetal cell lines are thousands of generations removed from the original fetal tissue. They do not contain any tissue from a fetus.

Probably looking past the technicalities, some people want to know whether these vaccines are connected to abortion. Others may want more specifics. For a layman's comparison, perhaps it is a bit like the difference in whether Adam is my immediate father, and whether Adam is my first ancestor. Regardless, this should be made clear to folks in a way they can understand so they can then decide for themselves.

I voted other. For one simple reason. Faith. God is Sovereign and I trust Him. I do not need the human manufactured vaccine from a Science community that denies the Sovereignty of God. And my wife and I have perfect peace with our decision. It is evident to us, that this virus and the vaccines, are being manipulated as tools of fear and control.

 

[Van]

I am old, fat, and have heart problems and diabetes, so I took the vaccine (Madera) at my earliest opportunity.

 

[Van]

Just thought I would repeat something said in an earlier post:

I've got Jesus as my Brother, the Holy Spirit as my Comforter, His Word as my guide, and a future that's out of this world.

No a bad formulation...

 

[atpollard]

My wife and I both got the Pfizer vaccine together. She had a sore arm for about a week and I had no symptoms.

 

[Stratton7]

I am old, fat, and have heart problems and diabetes, so I took the vaccine (Madera) at my earliest opportunity.

I heard last night that one of the symptoms can cause idiopathic cardiomegaly (enlarging of the heart due to it having to work harder to pump blood) based on a few that died from this after the vaccine. While the vast percentage may be low in the overall scheme of things, that coupled with many of the other possible symptoms is concerning.
I also have heart issues/damage, Van, so it’s a hard decision as more info continues to come out. However, I’m glad yours turned out well!

so you never go to doctors?

 

[Revmitchell]

There is evidence I’ve seen reporting that well over 3000 people in the US that have died after getting the vaccines. Also people with cancer that take chemo should be cautious. It appears that the chemo renders the vaccine inert.

Lastly the vaccine is made from aborted fetus stem cells. Why would any Christian want to go down that path.

Your repeated spinning of my posts are devious.

Well, if you need shots - you dont need doctors.
