I’m living in Australia and there are more and more vaccine mandates and impositions on our freedoms being introduced.. they took away our religious and conscientious exemptions about three years ago and made vaccines compulsory for attending child care. I couldn’t use child care for ages and had to rely on my elderly parents for help while I worked. No church leader even seemed to bat an eyelid about these changes, and a statement came out from the government saying they had consulted with all denominational leaders and that there is no reason why Christians should not take vaccines. So they barred unvaxed children from day care and early education programs, and took away family tax benefit also from families of unvaxed kids. Now since coronavirus, you also cannot visit your elderly relatives in aged care without having a flu shot, nor enter an aged care facility for any reason without the shot. Was discussing this as a consideration with my family yesterday given that my grandma is unwell and dying and is looking at increased need for care. My family who are not Christians would willingly take a vaccine to stay in contact with her in the nursing home. I sadly can’t see my grandma anyway as she is in another state and borders are closed now, but I told my parents that I am praying they would never require nursing care because of these mandates.
The issue is.. when my child was a baby, I thoroughly researched vaccines (using my knowledge of how to evaluate medical research from university). I read EVERY single piece of vaccine research I could get my hands on, committing myself to reading research daily, across a space of two and a half years. I wanted to make the right decision by my child because I had read about foetal cells and GMO’s and heavy metals and other toxic ingredients being present in vaccines.. I wanted to get to the truth of the matter and find out if this was truly the case because, being a Mother, you want to do the absolute best by your child. I resisted my child’s vaccines for 8 years but finally gave into my husband because it was causing so much conflict and turmoil in my marriage.. and now I have... a vaccine damaged child.
The things I learned during those two years of researching about vaccines made me feel unable to use those medicines without a severe conflict with my conscience.. I backslid and gave into my husband and am now reaping the consequences.. I then repented again and resolved never to go near those ‘medicines’ again and dug my heels in again and never finished the schedule for my child. I got a bit confused thinking maybe I should be in obedience to my husband (who is not Christian) on the issue, but I believe I should have been obedient to my conscience and resolved to remain that way. I also recently had to quit my employment in aged care because of the new vaccine mandates.
Anyway, my family knows my stance on vaccines and are upset that I would feel unable to compromise my conscience to visit them in a nursing home if they needed it... I felt so mean having this discussion with them.
I don’t even know how to deal with this issue... I cannot in good conscience accept such ‘medicine’ knowing what I learned about it. and the arguments by some that abortions were a one off situation that happened years ago and are no longer required for vaccine manufacturing is not even true. Even the argument by some that it’s ok because no new abortions are needed to make the medicines didn’t even sit well with my conscience. I do not want to be complicit with murder in any way, shape or form. Nor do I want to inject my self or family with genetically modified ingredients, which I am certain is not in the will of God. And the conflicts of interest, and absolute lack of care and or concern of the industry about long term side effects of vaccines also riles me. At the end of the day, vaccines are considered ‘safe and effective’ if they produce an ‘antibody response.’ That is all they care about. Which is why they will likely rush through a completely experimental never before used on humans ‘rna’ coronavirus vaccine.. you can’t determine safety of a completely new scientific approach to vaccines within six months. If you read the current news articles, their only concern is about producing a good ‘antibody response.’
This issue has affected my life on so many levels. And I am so afraid for the future and how it will impact my family and potentially tear it apart should a CV vaccine be made mandatory... it already nearly caused my husband to divorce me, damaged my child, caused loss of my employment, and sadness to my family who do not understand where I am coming from. I also suffer my own ongoing health issues from mandated vaccines I had to take during my initial health sciences degree (I believe from one particular one that was a GMO one.. my health was never the same after that). . This medicine in my opinion is clearly NOT in line with the will of God.. if it can do that much damage to my life.. it is clearly not a good thing!
