My wife was fully vaccinated with Moderna in May.
She tested positive for COVID yesterday.
Her symptoms have been relatively mild compared to many others I know who had the virus before or without the vaccine.
I’m grateful for God’s providence and the gift of medicine.

Micah is the type who gets a flu shot every year and still gets the flu every couple of years.
We’ve come to learn that vaccines aren’t magic forcefields that prevent illness but treatments that *can* minimize the effects of a disease or a virus.

Like any other medical treatment, it is imperfect.
Medical science, like every other form of science, is a tentative, ongoing project subject to changes in theory and practice as new data comes available.

While I believe it prudent and wise for most people to be vaccinated—there are exceptions—I also believe talk of mandatory vaccinations are serious infringements of personal liberties (ironically being lobbied for by the “my body, my choice” pro-choice crowd).
I absolutely hate that this has become such a political hot button issue, where confirmation bias dominates decision making. It shouldn’t be.
Believers can model a healthier way of expressing disagreements about this issue.
We can talk freely and respectfully about concerns some have related to potential side effects.
We can talk freely and respectfully about the value of a mostly vaccinated public.

We can talk freely and respectfully about the value of a mostly vaccinated public.
We can leave room for legitimate disagreements and still genuinely care for one another, sharing the concerns of our neighbors, being empathetic without caving to fear or carelessness.
Once more, I am grateful to live in a moment in history when God has given us the gifts of medical science and personal freedoms. These two things can be pitted against each other, but they needn’t be.
