>Card recipients did not get COVID-19 vaccines, though some parents requested that their children receive saline shots instead so they would believe they did, court documents said.

And they're lying to their kids?

That is really messed up, so the kids go and think they are vaxed and are not. Thats pretty dangerous to their kids, kids friends, etc.

Before I deleted Twitter, the ones faking vaccine cards and giving saline shots were considered heroes to conservatives. These guys will be idolized by many, which is incredibly sad.

No, worse. Their kids will be. Most of these parents are of an age that means they're almost certainly up on their basic vaccines.

Yeah I was on there yesterday and many of the comments about this story were people going on about how brave he was.

Which is just absurd - let's say (in some fantasyland) the vaccine is actually poison - then the brave thing to do is say "I won't give it" and make a stink at the risk of your personal income and medical license. Pretending to give it in return for cash is just fraud. Cowardly AF....

I can see a gofund me in the future to help the poor plastic surgeons.

Just look at the conservative subreddit. Almost every comment on this story on that sub is praising this and calling him a hero. They're psychopaths.

They are intentionally giving Covid aid and comfort and setting up places where it can live, grow, mutate, and prepare for its next attack. They might as well let the Taliban stay in their basements.

COVID is statistically NO risk to children.

True (to MOST healthy kids) but imagine being responsible for a friend’s parent, non healthy kid, or whoever dying because someone trusted you to be in a room and not spread it.

Most people would GAF they caused that death. Only narcissists wouldn’t.

Not merely lying, but performing fake medical procedures. That's ill-informed consent

As an ex-mo, here’s some info: there’s something called, “lying for the lord”. The leaders won’t teach it outright. they believe in god’s morals not society’s.

Current mo. Never heard of this. Also what? The prophet literally issued a statement telling people to get vaxed which people ignored citing ‘personal revelation.’ It’s not the church telling them to fake vaccine cards.

1st example: nephi kills Laban to steal the brass plates that rightfully belonged to Laban.

2nd example: jo marries a 14 year old because an angel with a drawn flaming sword commanded him to.

3rd: we need you to talk to the news about a bigoted proposition. 30 seconds before my TV interview the PR guy tells me, “don’t mention the church” then hangs up.

lying for the lord.

Okay but like you made up the term and fit some examples around it. Also can you defend the other point where you claimed that they’re faking vaccines and their card for the Lord in the face of what I pointed out?

I am showing that the culture of that church is to ignore society’s morals if you believe you’re on god’s side. We have agreed to live in a society with common rules. Those that don’t want to should leave.

Same goes for people that think it’s ok to steal because their ancestor stole a nail from the cross to reduce Jesus’ pain. (Gypsys)

Plus, I didn’t make it up. I learned that phrase in the culture of the church decades ago. And joe taught it to the pillaging group stealing from the gentiles in nauvoo.

Thanks. It relates to vaccines the same as when they told the US government that they wouldn’t be polygamous then the just kept doing it. The culture was , “ that’s just what we tell the gentiles”
