So there with you. I saw that ridiculous Twitter thread yesterday and was equally astounded by the utter ignorance. That they were using a mobile phone to spout their pseudo end of days nonsense, and in the name of Christianity too, made it even more laughable. Your initial response to them is worth sharing here.
That they continued to push their bullshit line even after that was frustrating to watch. Then to see some other random appear to pimp her YouTube channel had me chuckling. Folks like them give Christians a bad name.

agree and makes it hard to talk to people about Christians very hard if not impossible.
thanks for standing up

Itās not quite as bad as believing nanobots or altered DNA, but itās up there IMO. All the same studies have been done as with other meds and vaccines. If youāre concerned about the long term effects of the vaccine, you should also be about the 147 drugs already approved this year.
Itās the same lack of faith in the medical and pharma system that seeds so many of these bullshit conspiracy theories. Like I said, not as bad, but itās still not what we need to see.
@GregRedd: Excellent post, sir!

On a similar note, I am pretty sick of people raging on the ignorant masses you are talking about.
I donāt see any of these facebook forwards of nonsense because Iām not on any of the media that these things circulate on. But the number of threads on reddit of people bashing the idiots are just as bad.
For the record, things I am not comfortable with:
https://news.mit.edu/2019/storing-vaccine-history-skin-1218 (NOT a chip)
All these idiotic posts being circulated, and all the bashing of them are both useless. Meanwhile all these other plans are in place and being implemented as best they can, and not getting any attention. It honestly feels like a distraction for the real issues.
Iāve said it before, Iāll take the vaccine up until they only make it available with a tattoo. If they want to leave anything other than a vaccine in my body, they can get stuffed. And Iāll still be labelled an anti-vaxxer. Which brings me to the next point. Stop jumping on the anti-vaxx hate bandwagon.
And hereās the thing about the links I posted. Not all of it will necessarily make it to reality. Or they could be 5-10 years behind schedule, or they could come up with new ideas. It is still too early to tell.
Sorry for the rant. Iām stuck in the middle and both sides piss me off.

One the medications I take, every day, has a massive list of possible side effects including liver poisoning, loss of sight etc etc and many more bad things. I suffer from 3-5 of them. I am happy to live with the discomfort and poisoning if it stops me from dropping dead.
I feel the same about this vaccine.

Please share a link to that Twitter thread, @Solitude
As a Christian I cannot begin to explain to you the frustration in seeing other āChristiansā spew utter nonsense on social media and in actual face to face conversations. When a lot about Christianity is kind of based on a blind belief (I am generalising and under selling it here), it certainly does not help when some blindly believes everything and anything. It severely diminishes the actual belief in Christ.
I really try and stay away from these sort of debates online, but when others, Christian and non Christians here all realise the futility and embarassing nature in Christian conspiracy theories, then I feel more at ease to share

Hmmm Twitter is weird to post a link to that contains the whole discussion.

Yeah, I know what you mean. The group of people that irritates me the most is other Christians that behave like idiots and make Christianity look bad. Iāve always said that the thing with Christianity, is that it is for everyone: Smart people can investigate the evidence and go deep down the rabbit whole and āotherā people can just have blind faith without questioning anything and ājust believeā (although blind faith isnāt exactly biblical, but theyāre still Christian).
As for the weirdos online, Iāve found that it is mostly the fundamentalist extremists that fuel the conspiracy theories. In the US, theyāve hijacked the term āevangelicalā but they usually hold views like Young Earth and KJV-only (not all YEC and KJV-onlyists are extremist though, but in general).
Personally, Iāll wait with the vaccine for a year or two. Let others that need it have it first. Iāve had Covid and my body handles it quite well and Iām not really a social person anyway. I self-isolate by choice so Iām happy to wait a while and observe the long term effects. For instance, when we were a couple of weeks into hard lockdown, people were freaking out and getting depressedā¦ for me it was just Monday.

Taking all of the other reasons youāve listed into account, donāt rely on knowing how you handle Covid. Wife had different symptoms each time. 2nd time way worse than the 1st in all respects, 3rd was much worse but much shorter than both 1st and 2nd.
That said, letting others in the queue is the only reason for not wanting the vaccine (along with not being able to) is the only legit reason for not getting it!
