Mmmmmm you don't want to go theological on this one.
Y'see I'm Quaker, that alien bastard child of christianity that somehow manages to be more Marxist than Marx. We've got this thing about putting community ahead of self and taking on personal obligation to serve others.
From a theological perspective, I was being "a bad christian" by being a holdout on vaccination.
I don't judge other people for choosing to not get vaccinated.
But I will criticize the everloving fuck out of christians who think that god is on their side on this one. The SJWs are the well meaning ones here, crazy and power hungry though they may be, their motivation comes from a better place, to save as many as they can. Perhaps unreasonably, perhaps shortsightedly, but make no mistake, in the final analysis we're the selfish ones.
You were being "a bad christian" by not taking an experimental injection that is not sterilizing and has the potential to cause myocarditis (something that could kill you)? An injection that has now basically been proven not to work for its intended FDA purpose "the prevention of COVID-19."
That is not being "a bad christian." Being skeptical of experimental drug technologies is not immoral. It is proper to be skeptical of any new medication. That is the reason why companies traditionally run long-term trials.
By the community-before-self reasoning of the Religious Society of Friends...
Yes.
But there is no community benefit because it is non-sterilizing...
It is similar to saying we can all take this arsenic because it may lessen the symptoms of some respiratory disease, but it is still poison.
That was only known after the fact by discovery.
The transgression against the community occurred much earlier, when the vaccine was initially introduced.
Y'see, unlike y'all hypocrite protestants who think god saves ya cuz you just believe he will, over here in the friends we actually care about volition and intentions.
I can't say with a clear conscience that I refused the vaccine for reasons that served the community. It was entirely self serving.
