Exactly as many as God wanted to take.
Man's days are in the hands of the Lord ( Job 14 ), not a result of our choices.
I'm sorry, but this just doesn't make sense to me on any level. So you are saying preventative measures don't make a difference. Do you think the polio vaccine had no effect on eliminating polio at all?...
To me, personal safety, at least for adults, should be left up to the adults to decide.
Within reason, I would agree. When that that freedom begins to infringe on the freedom of others, that's where I take issue. You can swing your fists in the air all you want, but your freedom ends where my nose begins.
On a side note, I'm not putting anything into my body that purposefully manipulates my DNA and could lead to cancer.
I'm assuming you are referring to the Moderna vaccine. The "DNA manipulation" thing is a conspiracy theory. You can read more from the official CDC website, if you care to know.
COVID-19 Vaccine Facts
There are also traditional dead virus vaccines if you are more comfortable with that, though. As for cancer, who said anything about cancer?
Perhaps you may wish to read up on the risks (and potential and real side effects) of using what was, until recently, an experimental approach to developing vaccines.
I have. Nothing I read was nearly as doom and gloom as you seem to suggest. Where did you read that it was so terrible? Keep in mind, the RNA method that Moderna uses isn't some new thing... It's been around for quite a while, and if any issues would have been shown to be a probability, they surely would have manifested themselves by now, it would seem.
I agree...
But when compared to ongoing and yearly US death rates from things that are either preventable ( like smoking, alcoholism, AIDS and heart disease... or already have treatments like Influenza, certain forms of Hepatitus, Tuberculosis and STD's ) how does just one respiratory bug that is responsible for the deaths of over 600,000 people in a single year make mandatory vaccinations the right thing to do?
Because it only takes a small effort to save many lives, much like wearing a seatbelt. To me, life is sacred - especially when such little effort can be made in saving it.
