I am and always have been, focused on truth
which is why I do not count on you and what you represent to hear it, read it or follow it
why are you so angry? I am still pretty sure you said maintenance and frankly, at this point, it is strange that you did not immediately say I was wrong and say you were a nurse. I would think you would have corrected me right away
why do you say 'the nurses are angry'? why didn't you say 'as a nurse, I will tell you that we are angry'
you, like everyone else, even me, give yourself away the more you say
what is clear, to me, is that you wish to have authority and you do not have it, so you come here and post ridiculous things
It's hard to believe you are a Christian. You are point blank saying Aiden is a liar. You are putting words in his mouth, if what he should have said. Talk about no choice!!
He told me last year he was a nurse. Just when COVID was starting, and we were talking about what was happening. However, he was too humble to mention he was a head nurse, and responsible for many people and organizing many things.
I am shocked you are so insulting, which you have been for pages and pages. Just because Aiden is from Germany, doesn't mean he is less than Americans. Same goes for me. You better go repent and get right with God!
As far as vaccine mandates, I am against them. I think people need autonomy to control their own bodies. Even if the vax worked 100%, there would still be people who could not take it. People who are allergic to the medium of the vax, or have had bad reactions to vaccines.
But, that doesn't mean there isn't a HUGE amount of misinformation and lies being propagated on the internet, including this forum. Or utter absurdities like you can lose your salvation from taking the vax, as this thread started out with. Ridiculous, bad theology.
I had such a bad reaction to the flu shot, I was told by a doctor to never get it again in 1986. I never did, and I have never gotten the flu. When this whole COVID vax came up, I was really torn. Would it be bad for me, or was COVID a worse threat?
That is what it really boils down to for all of us! Which is worse for us, the vax or COVID? My doctors, esp., my rheumatologist, felt with my compromised immune system, I needed the vax. I was given priority to get it.
But I had read so much propaganda, I was literally terrified. But, I started reading more, and realized that most of the propaganda against the vaccine was outright lies.
I'm not saying the vax is without problems. Certainly people have had bad side effects, and some have died. That is why I am against compulsory mandates. No one should be forced to get a shot which will harm them more than what the shot is for!
But, I had to reflect that my lungs are very damaged, from repeated pneumonias. The CT scans of my lungs read "scarred and damaged!" However, because of proper masking, and not getting a cold turning into pneumonia, my last scan showed my lungs had improved tremendously - the bottoms were dry, and functioning again.
I have heart damage from RA attacking my heart. When I got my shots, it was not knowing the shots can damage the heart. Although, COVID does too! I read an article yesterday saying one hockey player from the Edmonton Oilers got heart damage from COVID, and may not play again! So 6 of one, or half a dozen of the other.
Meanwhile, I had hidden at home for a year, when the vax came out. I was living in terrible anxiety, which is not me. I am not an anxious person. I got my first shot & half the anxiety was gone. Second shot, the anxiety was gone. I am at least partially protected, hopefully I won't get COVID pneumonia, which would kill me.
I haven't been offered the third vax in my province yet. The roll out is slow. I will re-evaluate whether to get it, as everyone should. Most of my RA friends have gotten the third booster already. But, I want to review the literature first. Esp for my cohort, which is the immune suppressed!
So, I believe in the freedom for people to choose whether to take the vaccine or not! I am against the vax propaganda and lies, esp from anti-vaxers. No more lies! I have taken 2 vaccines and had no reaction at all. The needle hurt less than my weekly injection of a biologic.
I wonder if people will jump on me and attack me, like they did with Aiden & EG? There is a reason I don't come here much anymore. It's because there is so little Christianity found in the words of people. I can praise God for how he has helped me during this pandemic. But the constant anger, pettiness, cruelty and unChristlike behaviour of some people, means this forum is no longer a good place to learn and grow. Now you know!
