I wish they would believe that these shot are experimental. That is not the case, at least with pro-vaccine Christians I am around. They believe that those who say that these shots are experimental may be well meaning, but are believing lies.

In Canada, our health officials are still saying that the vaccines are perfectly safe and tested.

Ok, forget the word experimental…..


Are these vaccines still considered EUA? Or have they been approved/licensed?
What is the benefit-risk assessment? Is it the same for all ages?
How many boosters are required? Does this cover every variant?

These assurances from health officials needn’t conflict with a request for further precise clarifications.

Unfortunately, according to the FDA,

“informed consent as generally required under FDA regulations is not required for administration or use of an EUA product”


If these vaccines are safe and effective they should be authorized/licensed ….. however, to do so would increase liability and an accurate account of potential short/long-term side effects that would potentially increase further hesitancy.

Tom, stop making excuses for these Christians. You don’t have to make them believe anything but they need to respect your informed opinion even if it comes in conflict with experts and officials. There are limits to your obedience to government. You don’t have to apologize or make excuses for ignorance. You may have to practice Christian attributes of patience and charity when expressing yourself but you don’t have to censor yourself. Or you can just leave it alone. But I would be prepared to respond accordingly if you are ever pressed in the future.
