ANGELA:
I am glad (very glad) that your daughter and the baby are well.
BUT your reactions to others shows just how insensitive you really are.
I share a heartbreaking story about a family that is suffering a tragic lost, and you turn it into "data....facts.....science...peer reviews....me and mine are doing well so anything that happens to anyone else is just tough luck!"
Not even a hint of sympathy for this hurting family. A family that just lost a daughter, sister, niece, cousin, and wife, and the first grandchild/child.
You sit there and want to X on everyone no matter what it is they say, and yet you get hostile anytime anyone puts one to you.
In past conversations with you and post of yours you have talked about being a "pastor at large, doing online counseling, taking courses on biblical counseling, and practical theology............"
And yet, it doesn't show.
I cringe to think of what your "counseling" would be to this family.
Second reply to the same message. Because I have a link about a pregnant woman who got COVID in northern BC, where the people don't believe in vaxes. This poor husband believes in it now. I have read countless articles of this situation, and it is much more common than a pregnant women dying of the vax.

I also missed coming on your comment about
Xing every post. I only
X the posts I disagree strongly with. And that is most of the anti-vax nonsense on this thread. If it is just something I disagree with, I usually put a dislike, or just walk away from it. Esp. people that really make no sense, which is not you. I believe people need to know the truth.
John Piper said an interesting thing. He told people it was ok to get vaccinated if they wanted. He said don't be afraid because of what it will do to your reputation in the Christian conservative community. I think that kind of peer pressure is happening here, on CC. Some people have been brainwashed, by frequenting right wing extremist anti-vax sites. I don't intend to convince them. God will deal with them either now, or on judgment day. (Not saying they are not saved!)
But there are a lot of people who get their approval from their church or Christian internet community. I am standing for the truth, and so are a few others. I will not be intimated, shouted down, or told I am wrong, with opinions, and not a single fact. It is those people I hope to wake up. The people that don't think the gov't is after them. Being afraid of your gov't in a free and democratic society, regardless of how bad your leaders are (and they are terrible in both Canada and the US!) is called paranoia. And so many crazy conspiracies. I would like to stand against them, too! I will continue to show the truth, whether it is with regards to theology, or vaxes. That is what a good pastor does. They stand for righteousness. They don't bow down to the majority. And part of standing against the lies and misinformation posted here, is pointing it out. Red
Xs help with that.
"More than 125,000 pregnant women have been diagnosed with COVID-19 since the pandemic began, according to the
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). So far, more than 22,000 of these women have been hospitalized and 161 have died.
COVID-19 patients who are pregnant are twice as likely to require admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and 70 percent more likely to die than individuals who aren’t pregnant, according to the
CDC. A record number of pregnant women — 22 — died of COVID-19 in August, the
CDC reported in September 2021.
Despite these risks, just 31 percent of pregnant women in the United States have been fully vaccinated, the CDC reported. And vaccination rates are even lower for pregnant women of color, at 25 percent for Hispanic mothers and 16 percent among Black mothers.
Nearly all the
COVID-19 cases among pregnant women to date have been among unvaccinated individuals, the CDC said.
“In addition to the risks of severe illness and death for pregnant and recently pregnant people, there is an increased risk of pregnancy complications and poor pregnancy outcomes,” says
Kara Polen, MPH, a co-lead for maternal immunization for the CDC’s COVID-19 response.
For example, COVID-19 during pregnancy increases the risk of preterm birth and admission of the newborn to an intensive care unit (ICU), Polen says. “Other adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as stillbirth, have also been reported.”
A
study published in January 2021 in JAMA Internal Medicine looked at outcomes for 406,446 women who gave birth in U.S. hospitals from April 1 through November 23, 2020, including 6,380 mothers with COVID-19. In this study, the death rate for pregnant women with COVID-19 was 141 per 100,000 women, compared with 5 fatalities per 100,000 uninfected pregnant women. COVID-19 infections were also associated with higher rates of
heart attacks, potentially fatal
blood clots in the leg, and dangerously
high blood pressure during pregnancy known as
preeclampsia.
Another
study, published in July 2021 in Clinical Infectious Diseases, looked at outcomes from 489,471 deliveries between March and September 2020, including 6,550 cases with a COVID-19 diagnosis. Women with COVID-19 were 34 times more likely to suffer acute respiratory distress, 13 times more likely to require mechanical ventilation, and 17 times more likely to die. COVID-19 infections were also associated with more than twice the
risk of cardiac events like heart attacks or
strokes, and a 20 percent increased risk of preterm deliveries.
And a
study published in January 2021 in JAMA Pediatrics examined data on 706 pregnant women with COVID-19 infections and 1,424 uninfected women. COVID-19 infections were associated with a 76 percent higher risk of preeclampsia, a fivefold higher risk of ICU admissions, and 22 times the risk of maternal mortality. Babies were also more than twice as likely to have severe complications or die when mothers had COVID-19.
“Getting a COVID-19 vaccine can prevent severe illness, death, and pregnancy complications related to COVID-19,” Polen says.
“In the absence of evidence, it is natural that women who are pregnant would be reluctant to be vaccinated,” Dr. Jessup says. “Add this to the general milieu of distrust for the medical system for women of color, and it is understandable for women to be reluctant to be vaccinated.”
It’s true that earlier in the pandemic there was limited information about the safety or effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy, Polen says. That’s because pregnant people weren’t included in the clinical trials for the vaccines.
Since then, however, hundreds of thousands of pregnant people have been vaccinated. These real-world cases clearly show the benefits of vaccination and the risks of COVID-19 infections among unvaccinated women, Polen says.
The new CDC report highlights stark evidence of the harms associated with infections, and notes that no evidence to date suggests that vaccination poses a risk to pregnant women or their babies.
“The accumulating evidence has shown that COVID-19 vaccines are safe in those who are pregnant,” Polen says. “Given the increased risks of severe illness from COVID-19 during pregnancy, CDC strongly recommends that people who are trying to become pregnant receive one of the authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccines as soon as possible.”

Anyway, enjoy the articles.
The same people who have been lying about where the virus came from and who was behind it?
