When it comes to obedience to God regarding vaccines, research (of material uncorrupted by Big Pharma propaganda) is necessary; as is a consideration of biblical ethics. The Berean Spirit is crucial to fulfilling the Sixth Commandment: “Thou shalt not kill.”

Christians are not to blindly accept something just because they are told that it is true – whether told by someone in authority, or otherwise. Since God is concerned with truth in all circumstances (and indeed, He hates lies), Christians should be concerned with truth in all circumstances as well.
Concerning the truth of Scripture, the Bible says this of the Bereans:
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. (Acts 17:11)
The Bereans did not blindly accept what they were told. They searched the Scriptures daily to see if what they were told was true. As such, they were more “noble” than others.
And what is very interesting is that they were verifying what they were told by Paul– the great Apostle, Commissioned directly by God Himself. What position held by a human can be more prestigious or high-ranking than this?
And yet, again, they weren’t overstepping their bounds, but “noble.” While they came to full agreement with Paul, as he was indeed legitimate, there is no record of Paul flying off the handle for the truth of his claims being examined; he is not said to pull rank and complain,
“It is not your place to doubt me. Did you go to theology school? Are you some kind of conspiracy theorist? Every respectful Christian leader agrees with me, and that is because the theology is settled – there is no need to verify what I said. Trust me, I’m the expert. You’re not qualified to understand the Bible.”
Again, the Bereans would find Paul to be correct, since they confirmed his words via the infallible source of Truth – the Bible. And we have no reason to think that Paul didn’t handle this well, despite his great authority. He knew that we cannot blindly take one’s word for something, despite one’s status.
Now, if one with Paul’s status can be questioned, how much more should everyone else? Doctors included.
However, too many pro-vaccine doctors lack humility. They want you disregard independent vaccine research and to mindlessly accept what they tell you; and to question them is heresy. Their reaction to those who question vaccines is something like this:
“It is not your place to doubt me. Did you go to medical school? Are you some kind of conspiracy theorist? Every respectful doctor agrees with me, and that is because the science is settled – there is no need to verify what I said. Trust me, I’m the expert. Don’t believe what you read on the Internet.”
(Of course, we would expect such emotional diversions from the actual facts, since vaccination is premised on lies [whether any given doctor realizes this or not].)
Christians must resist succumbing to such blind trust. (Perhaps as tactfully as possible, as some doctors are vindictive.) Vaccination could mean the lives of themselves, or even their children. Indeed, vaccines have been reported to have taken lives and again and again throughout history (just follow our ongoing vaccine genocide series).
As such, when it comes to obedience to God regarding vaccines, research (of material uncorrupted by Big Pharma propaganda) is necessary; as is a consideration of biblical ethics. The Berean Spirit is crucial to fulfilling the Sixth Commandment: “Thou shalt not kill.”
While the pagans may cling to their fables, let those of us who follow Christ seek truth — wherever it might lead.
