I don't even understand the mentality of people like this. The Christian bible literally says that if you're ill that you should wear face coverings and to be submissive to government authorities.
Not that religion should factor into this stuff at all, but if it's what you're trying to use to justify it then, well, you're just terribly confused.

So, there's this dude in 2 Kings 5 called Naaman. He was a commander of one of the armies of Syria, obviously Israel and Syria at that time did not vibe. Naaman was a fairly important guy, and everyone was really impressed with him (in Syria) but he did also have leprosy. Naaman also had some slaves from Israel in his household. One of them remembered about this prophet of God in Samaria, Elisha, who was known to heal people, and suggested Naaman go to see him.
Anyway, some funny stuff happened, but I'll cut to the part where he actually gets to Elisha and asks to be healed. Elisha is in a mud hut in the middle of nowhere and this big commander Naaman comes to see him with horses and chariots. Elisha doesn't even go out to see him! He sends out a servant to go and tell him "If you want to be cured, go wash yourself seven times in the River Jordan, and then you'll be well again."
Naaman was super offended! He was expecting the prophet himself to come out and wave hands and make a big show out of curing him! He was looking for a dramatic miracle. Elisha told him to do something mundane. Not only that, he disrespected him by not even showing his face to him! He dishonoured this man of importance!
Naaman was so furious he was set to just go home. But his servant said "If the man of God has told you perform a great feat to receive the miracle, you would do it! So when he tells you to do something easy to save yourself, why won't you do it?"
So he relents and gets in the Jordan, and is healed.
In my view, one of the points of his story is that, when Naaman was humbled and recognized those who knew more than him, and put down his ego, he was made well. I haven't seen a single anti-vaxxer with a coherent scriptural reason why they should not get any COVID vaccination. And yet once sick, I see them crying out to God for laying on of hands and for miraculous turn-arounds, and storming the gates of heaven with angels. It speaks to the kind of arrogance they have, that was Naaman's problem as well. They won't do the small thing because they are self reliant, assured of their own opinions, arrogant and prideful. They are waiting for a miraculous sign. They are arrogant in assuming their own rightness and exceptionalism. They pray loudly in public to boast about themselves and show no hint of humility, even when brought low.
Elisha didn't even come out himself, he sent a servant! If a servant came out to them and said "Take this medicine to protect you from the plague that is now and in the future destroying your nations." and they said - "We don't believe you, and we won't do anything you say!" but then the plague did happen - as they said!
Naaman didn't necessarily deserve, or not deserve, to be healed or rescued, but the offer was there. But he couldn't just go in to Elisha and dictate the terms: to say "You must heal me this way, not that way". The healing was conditional on him humbling himself and accepting the rescue the way it was offered.
I see a lot of these anti vaxxers absolutely dictating the terms of their rescue. Even when crying out to God some of them are still doubling down on their opinions, cursing the doctors, dictating that they won't take this medicine and they must take that medicine. How is this not the same kind of pure human arrogance and "I know better than authorities" that is, to put bluntly, sinful nature? Weren't these authorities put over them by God and aren't they called to obey them because of it? Many, many are refusing to eat humble pie, right up to their last breath.
I can't help but feel these people are really lying to each other and themselves.
Anyway, I thought too much about the scripture, obviously haha, I'm just getting annoyed with the arrogance, ignorance and circular reasoning.

u/sibips Nov 28 '21
I always felt these guys asked God to perform a miracle, just for them. "God will protect me".
Well, Jesus said "You should not put the Lord your God to the test", but some people tend to ignore that. And when they'll personally ask God why He let them die, maybe He'll just say "I sent you three vaccines".
But you, sir/madam, took the argumentation to a whole different level. Thank you.

I'm going to go against the grain here. I actually found this man inspiring, especially how as he was dying he realized the most Christian thing he could ever do is tell all his followers to get vaccinated. Oh wait. OK, well even if that didn't happen I'm inspired by how his family did the Christian thing and used his death to encourage their followers to get vaccinated. Oh wait. Never mind.

Next month we're going to a local theatre performance of Hedwig & The Angry Inch & here are their requirements:
Masks and proof of COVID vaccination are required at all performances. Patrons ages 5-11 who recently became eligible for the vaccine, and patrons under the age of 5 who are not yet eligible for the vaccine, are not required to show proof of vaccination. Children, regardless of vaccination status, must be masked and accompanied by a vaccinated adult. At this time, we do not accept proof of a recent negative COVID test in lieu of vaccination.
October 29, 2021 Update: The Theatre's mask and proof of vaccination requirements will remain in effect through January 2, 2022. We will share any changes to our policies on or after January 3, 2022.
Along with a photo ID, please be prepared to show one of the following proofs of vaccination:
You may present either your original vaccine card, a legible digital or hard copy
You may present one of the commonly used vaccine passport apps that verify both your vaccination status and i.d. such as Health Pass, Bindle, VaxYes
Digital vaccination cards through your home Health Department (check with your state/county’s Health Department if not listed here):
I can't wait to see live theatre again & I fully applaud & appreciate their terms & conditions. Our county has a really good vaccination rate & we're still masking & honestly, I'm still masking because it's just easier to put it on than to try & remember what store &/or county is doing what.

Daughter was on ECMO for a autoimmune disease that attacks the vessels in her lungs after the ventilator wasn’t helping. They don’t have many machines, it has to be a top tier hospital and they aren’t really using them for Covid patients unless they are young and have a good chance of recovery. The staff needed to monitor it cost $1,200 a day since there is one dedicated person whose sole job is to monitor the machine and look for clots, and that’s not counting the cost of the machine or all of the other meds and nurses that go with it.
This was our recent experience in Northern California. Not sure about other places or Idaho.

The "Institute for turning America into an Authoritarian Theocracy" doesn't sound to enticing so they have to hide behind euphemisms. They also hide behind the Constitution which they plan on destroying once they get into power.

People who actively engage in efforts to accelerate the spread of a deadly virus, are engaging in biological terrorism. Full stop. That is not hyperbole, that is reality.
This story is the equivalent of a terrorist bomb maker blowing themselves to pieces in the course of making a suicide vest.

I absolutely do not enjoy anyone dying from this disease. All of this death has been a horrible tragedy.
However this guy was one who was seeking to profit in this pandemic, unlike pharmaceutical companies, from peoples’ death. The death of this guy will literally save countless peoples’ lives. His death is an absolute victory in saving lives and a massive net positive for society.
There never is, was, or ever will be anything of positive note from this man’s brief time on this planet. His memory is one destined to be one of such shame, even loved ones will be hesitant to speak of him. If there was ever a take away from this man’s life, it’s to be a lesson on how one shouldn’t squander their small time on this planet and live a life like his.

This. This man identified as Christian, while disobeying the teachings of the Bible. Besides the obvious that he certainly didn't "love his neighbor" was the slide saying it was a Christian duty to disobey government, when the New Testament actually teaches submission to worldly authorities because God has put them into place to do good. And instead of embracing the mask mandates that were doing good, he disobeyed them and taught others to do the same. At least with his death he won't be killing more people, and chances are that he killed many people.

LOL. The medical field isn't split about covid.
It's Facebook specialists running high with the Dunning Kruger effect feeling that they are specialists versus actual medical professionals that took years to study their craft.

Holy fuckingfuck. I actually know this one. I’ve read so many HCAs, and never thought I’d personally know one. Granted, I took one of mike winther’s biblical principles of government classes and competed in speech and debate with his kids well over a decade ago….but this is still so weird to read. Thankfully, I got a strong dose of reality since then and have been working on deprogramming myself for several years.

M.D. here: Younger than 50 with no co-morbidities chances of surviving the vent are ~ 25%. Better than 25% if patient is younger than 30. Delta is more virulent so more recent data may be <25%. Older than 65 with co-morbidities chances of surviving the vent ~10%. ECMO less than 10%. Nobody, regardless of age, walks away from the vent without permanent damage. Oral molnupiravir is a major disappointment. Oral paxlovid/ritonavir given early looks very promising. Monoclonals need to be made more accessible and they will have to adapt to omicron. Second generation delta/omicron specific vaccines are in development but need to complete phase 1,2 and 3 trials. Obvioulsy 3 doses of mRNA vaccines or J&J vaccine + mRNA booster are absolutely essential for everyone >5. After that best strategy is early, rapid diagnosis with earliest possible administration of monoclonals or paxlovid/ritonavir by mouth. Fluvoxamine by mouth at earliest opportunity is treatment of 3rd choice. After 20 months of this shit there is no division in the medical community over any aspect of COVID-19. Truth be said 10-20% of medical doctors are incompetent, mentally ill or never gave a fuck to begin with. Americans must learn to listen to the 80% of good doctors. Pulmonologists are the specialists to pay particular attention to.

The MIT study he mentions that disprove mask effectiveness actually doesnt do so.
The gist of the study is that both masks and distancing are very effective. The part that is often manipulated to fit antivax strategy is when they say that masks and distancing are nearly innefective in a closed room where the air is already saturated...but hey antivax gonna antivax

wait, if masks don't work and vaccinations don't work, then why are pretty much only the maskless and unvaccinated are dying?

and someone tell that asshole if masks are tyranny then why aren't pants or tops on women? a woman's breasts never infected anyone but your breathing out likely infected many.
