I think the vaccine is very important and I'm all for it, I'd take a bad day of side effects over my own experience any day, I still have issues from it and don't wish my experience on anyone. That being said I do work in the biotech industry for a company that specializes in DNA and molecular research, it does make me question things when I'm being told by well informed Ph.D's (who are liberal) that the information we have is incomplete, testing of the vaccine hasn't been done correctly prior to rollout, etc.
I know as of a few weeks ago at work there was a conversation about trying to determine if Moderna or Pfizer was the better option. Moderna you are getting 100ug of a dose while Pfizer you are getting 35ug of a dose, in order to determine which is better it depends on the size of the RNA molecule that is delivering the vaccine, Pfizer is 4000bp and Moderna's is proprietary. So I do have that bug in my ear which is a well informed and opposing viewpoint.
... Edit: for clarification I run the supply chain, while surrounded by research scientists I am not one myself
As for the church I agree with pretty much everything Mandy and MOW were saying. I can see how the message may be interpreted incorrectly as being told people shouldn't get vaccinated but the correct reading of it is essentially "for ethical reasons tied to the church here are your options, Moderna and Pfizer are preferable".
