I have always believed we will not live one moment longer than we will BUT it’s how we live that matters. Ignoring science would have people live in misery, and in iron lungs, blind, crippled, in constant pain. And so on.
There is NO real science that argues masks are dangerous.

@gramma62 and @drawlings0803 hi. I am a fellow Christian believer too. I want to share my story as I think it is relates to the vaccination topic at hand. 20 years ago I had a pancreas transplant. I considered it to be a gift from God and my own personal miracle. I was conflicted about taking the immune suppression medication to prevent rejection of the transplanted organ. Another wise believer pointed out that while the transplanted pancreas was a gift from God, the immune suppression medication was too. As a believer I want to be a good steward of the gifts I’ve been given. This includes vaccines, medications, treatments, my medical providers ….etc. In the Bible James 1:17 says that every good and perfect gift is from God.

I consider my children and grandchildren gifts also. During the worst of the COVID pandemic when vaccines became available I wholeheartedly got mine (I am immune suppressed after all). My two daughters and their families had different approaches. My oldest daughter has an anti vaccine mentality. She and her husband both had COVID several times but their three children never did. My youngest daughter has a disposition to get vaccinations. Her whole family got them. Still she and their three children got COVID anyways.

I think the bottom line is (regardless of your beliefs) to take care of yourself as best you can, use and be thankful for the resources you have available.
