Thank you, so the question was if God told me to get the shot would I?
This doesn't have to be hypothetical. My mom got the shot and I said nothing. Her situation is different from mine, she is an adult and can make her own informed decisions, and the word I got was very clear that sharing my misgivings which I could not prove would only raise the stress unnecessarily.
My son's story is a bit different, he also has not gotten the shot and I was questioned about this as though I had somehow forbidden him from getting it. At the time my son was 18 and you don't force 18 year olds to do anything in this country. I shared with him my misgivings on it, I also shared that since he had clearly been exposed to Covid19 when I got sick with it that he had his own immunity. He hadn't even gotten sick even though he was in the car with me all day when I was first getting quite sick and lives in the same house with me while I had it for two weeks.
So then I am quite willing to step aside to God's sovereignty with both my mom and my son, and yes, if the Lord had spoken to me to get it I would have. Because I had Covid19 I had assumed I would not need the vaccine and when they kept pushing for those who had recovered from Covid to get the shot it raised alarm bells.
Their reasoning was "we don't know if those who have recovered have immunity". OK, we also didn't know if the vaccine was effective at that point and we didn't know which of these two were more effective. That wasn't a reason to mandate the vaccine to me, it was a reason to say "we will have to wait to see what the peer reviewed studies say". Since that time the peer reviewed studies have made it quite clear that natural immunity after recovering is about 20x better.
But they were disingenuous and I knew it. I had lived in Taiwan for 8 years and had family over there. I knew that Taiwan which had been hit very hard by SARS was doing the best with Covid. I was tempted to credit their excellent protocols for that but Vietnam was also doing remarkably well and they too were hit hard by SARS. Based on that I felt it was highly likely that recovering from SARS would confer some immunity to Covid and that was ten years ago.

She gave a legitimate answer to
um someone correct me if I'm wrong,
but isn't quoting someone and then writing something a form of answering?
I would have to agree with you. but would also have to add that some of his answers barely qualify as answers.

This person must be totally stupid (just like all of NBC/MSNBC). A federal judge has just declared the vaccine mandate to be null and void nationwide. Even so, the Secretary of Defense thinks he can browbeat all the military into getting vaccinated. So now the rank and file military (and lower ranking officers) have two options: (1) obey an illegal command or (2) put the SecDef and all the generals in the brig for violating the Constitution.

Will you be supporting mandatory vaccinations in Germany?
Der künftige Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz fordert SPIEGEL-Informationen zufolge eine allgemeine Impfpflicht. Er pocht zudem
auf 30 Millionen Impfungen bis Weihnachten – und will dafür den Kreis der Impfenden erweitern.
https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deut...flicht-a-8aaefbff-506c-4dc5-86eb-1467ab971b95
Scholz said that compulsory vaccinations should be in place “when everyone has had a realistic chance to be double-vaccinated.”
From an English language source:
Germany, on Tuesday inched closer to mandatory coronavirus vaccines after incoming Chancellor Olaf Scholz
said they were necessary to contain a fierce fourth wave of the pandemic.
Following crisis talks with acting Chancellor Angela Merkel and the leaders of Germany’s 16 states,
Scholz said he wanted parliament to vote on the matter before the end of the year.
“Too many people have not got vaccinated,” Scholz told Bild television. Making jabs compulsory is justified “to protect us all”.
The compulsory vaccinations should be in force “in the beginning of February or March so we must move quickly now,”
Scholz said, promising that lawmakers would be allowed to vote according to their conscience.

Still parading his ignorance or simply enjoying being a petty tyrant? Yes, they herded the Jews not too long ago to "protect us all". And Germany should have been the last country in the world to become all totalitarian. How come they never applied the same rules to Muslim migrant invaders "to protect us all"? BTW clueless Boris Johnson in the UK is no better.
