So neither God nor Science is her copilot.

I bet she would (or sadly soon will) demand “Why didn’t you save me?”

I feel sorry for this person… and glad she’s not my patient care technician.

Ugh, what a Kare…you know what? No, I’m not going to do it. Too easy.

How long until the follow up story stating that she’s contracted the virus, I wonder?

I mean, I wouldn’t recommend anyone take medical advice from any apparition claiming to be “God” so I guess I’ll give her points on that…

Two weeks or less is incubation, right? :woman_shrugging:t3:

So if she gets jabbed, either:

  1. The vaccine saves her life, or
  2. She goes to heaven for obeying God’s command.

Has she never heard of Pascal’s wager? (Don’t answer, that’s rhetorical.)

Well, if “God” told me to get the vaccine, I’d be like, “Some idiot claiming to be a deity told me to get the vaccine, that means nothing to me” or “Okay, I’m hallucinating weird shit about imaginary entities telling me to do things, that has no impact on my desire to get the vaccine.” But on the other hand, if she’s actually religious, that makes no sense. Or she’s not actually religious, but only performatively and reflexively because she was raised that way and never actually thought about it.

What she REALLY means is that she wouldn’t do it for her OLD and busted god, the god of Christianity. She would do it in a SECOND if her NEW and shiny god, Donald J. Trump told her to do it.

And lo, the Lord spake, saying, “Thou shalt receiveth the ouchie of Fauci.”

And Karen said unto the Lord, “Sorry, Charlie.”

‘Research’… bah!
Well, lady, you may well get your wish; just not the way you envision.
One would think that a health care worker would have some knowledge of biology; hell, I bet she worked with doctors all day & for some reason their advice wasn’t good enough for her.

health care workers who won’t vaccinate shouldn’t work because they obviously don’t care about health

These folks rely a thousand times a day on things they cannot research. Things virtually no one can. There’s probably some guy at Ford who has been engineering the same brake system for the F150 for twenty years. He owns that. And no one ever thinks twice about that guys credentials or research. Why this, of all things, has become a thing is beyond me.

Of course it’s also weird as the town I live in (Registration D+33) had one of the worst childhood vaccination rates in the Bay Area, but was 94% first dose/91% fully vaxxed, when the county health department declared it would just represent “90%+” on the website. A lot of vaccine resistance in general but not for the COVID vaccine.

I bet this idiot – who is way better off not working in the healthcare field if she doesn’t believe in rudimentary vaccine science – doesn’t go over the MSDS sheets of any of the chemicals she encounters or runs through her body on a daily basis. With people getting shitcanned like this the vaccine really is bettering our health is more ways than preventing COVID.
