Should Christians Get the C***D ** V*****e? It’s time to put fear to the side: The C****-** p******c has been genuinely terrifying, particularly for those who fall into the high-risk...

The C****-** p******c has been genuinely terrifying, particularly for those who fall into the high-risk category or who have loved ones who do. A recently published NBC News article shared that the U.S. surpassed 400,000 C****-** deaths nearly one year after the nation’s first confirmed case. Now, as several v*****es for the general population have been released, there is hope for many Americans. Scientists say if enough people are v******ted, there will be nowhere for the v***s to go, and there will be few susceptible hosts left to infect. This is a way to achieve herd immunity without losing even more lives in the process.

While v***ses are created to protect our health, a number of Christians have been against C****-** v******tions. Two groups that have been particularly hesitant about getting v******ted are white evangelicals and Black Protestants, though both groups are skeptical for different reasons.

Some evangelical Christians have subscribed to myths about the C****-** v*****e and the p******c. Many of these same people have fueled misinformation campaigns and promoted conspiracy theories. Some critics have accused right-wing fundamentalist pastors of perpetuating baseless theories that are encouraging their congregants to ignore public health information. This includes unfounded theories like the v*****e is the mark of the beast and could even cause sterilization in women.

Some Black Protestants are concerned about getting v******ted given their tarnished past with dangerous health policies and clinical experiments that have targeted vulnerable black and brown communities. Healthline sums it well, “From the Tuskegee experiments — one of the most disturbing parts of American medical history — to the economic and cultural inequities in the U.S. healthcare system that disproportionately harm Black and Latinx communities, there are very real reasons why some people might look askance with skepticism and fear at the new v*****es.” Many of these concerns that are swirling around in many Christian communities beg the question, should Christians get the C****-** v*****e? The best place for Christians to get the answer to this question is by turning to Scripture.

God calls us to be faithful stewards of what we receive. First Corinthians 4:2 says, “Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.” This includes our bodies. As Christians, we should be mindful of what we put into our bodies and how we should care for our bodies. The Bible doesn’t specifically address v******tions as they were not available during biblical times. However, the Bible does give us great direction on being good stewards. As Christians, we are called to investigate, make informed decisions, and not take our life for granted. This is a good case for the C****-** v*****e and preventative medicine. Those who lived during biblical times did take what they had to cure illnesses and ailments. First Timothy 5:23 says, “No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.” This points to the importance of preventative medication during those times.

Garbage rumitoid. There is a wealth of information from doctors not under the thumb of big pharma on why not to take it.

A Christian should not fault anyone for getting it or not getting it. Making an informed choice either way doesn’t mean one isn’t taking care of themselves.

God also gave us a brain so I must assume He meant for it to be used. Use it and you won't go near that inhuman excuse for big pharma profits.

Trust in the Lord. and use some common sense. .Thats what God gave it to you for.
If you fall into a high risk group you might be inclined to receive the vac. If you already have had C***d there is nothing the vac can do for you. Taking vitamins C, D. and zinc helps keep you healthy. Also most deaths associated with C***d are also linked to obesity. Shedding a few pounds could be very beneficial to your well-being.. Otherwise do what you think is best for you. A positive attitude is good medicine

Thank God there was none of this “Christian” thing around when the Salk v*****e came out in the 50s which eradicated polio in the US.

Why not address that to rumitoid? And this v*****e isn’t like the polio v*****e.

Your analysis is lacking in common sense...plaes try again.

There are no comparisons between the two situations.

Polio infections in the US reached a peak of around 60,000 cases per year in the 1950s, of which 3000 were fatal.

The Polio v***s is not an airborne pathogen, it is spread by the fecal-oral and respiratory routes - contaminated water, for example.

Poliov***s primarily infects children living in poor hygienic conditions - Africa being the hardest hit.

The Polio v*****e was recommended, not mandated.

The Polio epidemic was not forged into a political weapon with which to control the masses.

If, as the argument goes, a woman has sole control over her body and can make her own decisions regarding her health, why can't we all enjoy such freedom?

I see no evidence that Christians objected to the Pollo v*****e.

I wonder why there is no v*****e for AIDS/HIV.

Exactly correct and Polio was nothing like C***d.

Nobody said c***d and polio were similar. The subject was preventative v*****es and in that lies the similarity.

The primary exception being the Polio v*****e was not forged into a political weapon with which to threaten the entire population of the United States with punishment if they did not comply.

There is precious little similarity!

Recent CDC data found that 74% of those who tested positive for C****-** in a Massachusetts analysis had been fully-v******ted. Equally as troubling for those advocating v******tion-for-all: four out of five people hospitalized with C***d were fully-v******ted. And CDC said "v***l load” — indicating how able the human host is to spread C****-** — is about the same among the v******ted and unv******ted. Contrary to the infamous misinformation by CDC Director Rochelle Walensky last May, v******ted people can— and are— spreading C***d. (CDC officials later corrected Walensky's false claim.)

Below: CDC's data with light blue showing fully v******ted. Dark blue is unv******ted (but may include some fully v******ted.)
