Remind me in my next life
I'll become a pharmacist and then join one of those no medicine any time sects.
King James, of course
Love these people who think the King James translation came straight from Gd's mouth. Who needs those pesky Hebrew, Aramaic, etc. originals.
As my grandmother used to say
If the King James version was good enough for Jesus Christ, it's good enough for me.
Christ on a cracker
She's a cracker
So she's never gotten any
So she's never gotten any vaccines? And BMC let her work in a patient-facing role? Or did her sincerely-held belief kick in right after she got all the other vaccines required for her job?
You'd be surprised
I remember a decade or so ago the union representing nurses at the Brigham were fighting mandated influenza vaccinations. Where we are now with Covid, it's kind of the same thing.
As for the measles and the like, by the time you are an adult employers don't ask for proof of said vaccinations. It would be interesting as part of discovery to see if she ever got vaccinated as an adult.
MGH used to ask
I needed to list what I'd had. They also did a titer for measles, since the boosters for people vaccinated in the first years were not always received.
I picked up HepB while I was there, as well as flu shots.
Note that I was a researcher - I had no contact with patients.
That's not true
I had to have proof of MMR and a bunch of other vaccines to work at a Boston hospital and I'm betting it's not the only hospital that does this.
Then...
...take your God's temple body and go get another job in another field, you ignorant jackass.
Exactly
You don't see many Hasidic folks working for Smithfield.
Except
There's a ton in nursing that has nothing to do with vaccinations.
I suppose if member of Hasidim worked for Smithfield, they could work in the turkey division.
Except
You could infect people near you even if you weren't direct patient contact.
As could you, as could I
Yet there was never a general mandate for the entire population.
The general population...
...doesn't work in patient care.
That was an astounding leap even for you.
Swirly moved the goalposts
I just took the shot with the moved goalposts.
The Holy Spirit
does not appear in the King James Version of the Bible. The Third Person of the Trinity (a concept which also doesn't appear in the KJV, or any other V, but never mind) is therein always referred to as the Holy Ghost, which is much more awe-inspiring. This woman is clearly a revisionist. Probably a closet Unitarian.

Amazingly vaccines do protect the integrity of human bodies. When's the last time you heard about a polio outbreak?
