Honestly, I’m trying to love my neighbor by NOT taking the shot. Here’s my reasoning: If the shot is both detrimental to my long-term health AND the occasion by which tyranny is forced on my friends in the business and medical fields, my resistance to it can only help myself and my neighbors. My concerns are as follows: 1. There’s a question as to whether the shot contributes to infertility and in females, miscarriages. My wife and I are a young couple who’d love to have kids. It’s not loving to my future children to risk harming them or contributing to their death. 2. There’s a question as to whether the MRNA technology weakens the immune system in the event of a variation of the virus attacking the body. I’m not loving the people who rely on me by taking a risk that may prevent me from working or kill me. 3. My friends who are in danger of having the shot forced on them are facing manipulative peer pressure right now. One of metrics used to convince them to take the shot is the percentage of people who have taken it already. I don’t want to contribute to that number. 4. There are many other concerns including the ethics associated with the pharmaceutical companies manufacturing the shots and the political agenda behind potentially forcing the shots. I do not agree with using cell lines from aborted fetuses or the government imposing an untested shot on such a large scale. In short, the risks associated with contracting Covid or a Covid variant, especially for my demographic, are relatively low. The risks associated with the shot are relatively unknown, and that’s the best case scenario. I believe it’s more loving for me to not take the shot. I also believe it’s not very loving for others to question my motives for making this choice based on risk assessment. Accusing people of being selfish or unloving because they won’t take the shot assumes they believe the shot is necessary to save others and yet, knowing this, they refuse to take it. It’s either an arrogant or ignorant assumption, and not a very loving one if you’re failing to attempt to understand or respect their conscience.
