My only point ...I don't disagree, Deltaflute. <br />My only point was to separate the two ideas because there seems to be a lot of over-thinking going on when I read about vaccinations. God is a God of peace, so when the decision becomes burdensome like it has for JoAnna, I try to see what's the clearest way to compartmentalize the thinking. <br /><br />Getting the vaccination is wise. Attacking politically is wise, too (and a must). To feel overwhelmed with the approach is the part that I believe is not of God.

They will notify you about it. So that's one way. <br /><br />As for the political, yes I agree being political is separate from whether you get the vaccine or not since that's a matter of prudence. All Catholics are asked to protest the cell lines just like they would embryonic stem cell research. The problem is that until very recently very few people protested openly. It's not brought up at the pulpit, among Catholic families, or even pro-life groups. When I found out about it, it was from a minor comment at the bottom of an unrelated blog post dated years before. I thought that it might be one of those exaggerations so I looked into and was floored. I heard more about protesting those with Susan G Komen stickers on their products than I did about what I was injecting into my family's arm. <br /><br />If anything this whole thing is stirring people up. There's that whole petition to Merk. But really we need to spur a letter writing campaign and we need to find leaders to rally the troops. This isn't just an American thing. This affects millions of people across the globe. So we need letters to all countries' CDC equivalents.

And I know that you have done your research with a true heart. The only question that remains is how do I minimize the risk to my kids and to others? I hear your heart, and I also see the reasoning of getting the vaccinations. Nubbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972118374098863290noreply@blogger.com
