Interesting data: many more people say they will quit their jobs if COVID 19 vaccines are mandated than actually quit.

Evie Magazine = Serial Killer or accessory to negligent homicide?

Evie Magazine!

The options to me are simple; surrender to the facts (they are not what you self-victimized clowns think) or censor this magazine, or prosecute the magazine for murder (that is a joke, I made that up), or prosecute them for being an accessory to negligent homicide (that is not a joke, people really believe this.)
The authors had done a follow up on this issue:
Subsequently, we completed telephone follow-up for the 905 pregnancies and enrolled additional persons in the v-safe pregnancy registry. To determine the cumulative risk of spontaneous abortion from 6 to less than 20 weeks of gestation, we used life-table methods to perform an updated analysis, now reported in the Journal, involving 2456 women who received at least one dose of an mRNA Covid-19 vaccine before conception or before 20 weeks of gestation.1 The estimated risks (14.1% overall and 12.8% in age-standardized analyses) are consistent with the risks of spontaneous abortion reported in the general population.1

No evidence of increased risk of miscarriage.

That's encouraging news! I'm sure that increases the odds that we can finally put this pandemic mostly behind us. Now if we could only come up with an effective vaccine against anti-science ignorance and susceptibility to irrational conspiracy theories, like QAnon.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Of course they do. Same thing when folks were complaining about mask mandates and saying they'd never patronize xx grocery store again.

Uh huh. :roll:

What was that thing that Mormon parents were (once?) encouraged to say to their children? Something like "I'd rather you came back home in a coffin than had sex with anyone before you are married"?

The same thinking seems to be at work here. I could sympathise with people who genuinely believed that having a vaccination was a greater risk than remaining completely exposed to the risk of COVID-19 infection. That was simply a wrong belief about facts, and one can talk about the evidence so long as people are prepared to discuss the situation rationally and objectively.

But this lady seems to be taking the position that to get vaccinated because you wish to reduce your risk of infection and possible serious illness or death is in some way degrading. Sorry, I really don't get it. Can someone explain?

This might help bolster conservative arguments on this topic:

The argument is put forth for not washing your hands since you can't see the bacteria or viruses.
