You seem to be missing some key pieces of what I'm saying. There's very specific things I don't sympathize with. "You don't sympathize" is incomplete.
I'm not sympathetic to politically motivated behavior in general, which includes politically motivated objections to the vaccines. This is based on the reasons people give for their objections. I don't know how this is projecting bias. What bias in particular am I projecting, and onto whom?
I explicitly said I
do support people who choose to abstain from medicines tested with fetal cell lines derived from abortions. I also said I
don't support people who I observe to have hypocritical and inconsistent stances on this - for example, people who claim a religious objection to the vaccines but use Regeneron. That isn't judging them, it certainly isn't condemning them, but its objecting to their behavior. And if the reason they happen to be hypocritical is to rationalize a political stance, that's doubly wrong.
I don't know what you mean about consistent enough for me to believe them. I'm happy to take them at their word - for better and worse.

Edit 2: he says it's good to be fired from your job. From a man not facing that choice please tell me how he's ministering to his fellow believers.
Edit 3: this is the exact point I was making. Neither of you seem to much care about other believers facing this. You're here to tell them to go to work elsewhere because they're stupid (his words) for doing this unless they meet his criteria based on broad observation of the general populace.
I quoted St Peter. If you have a sincere religious objection, and that conviction results in suffering, that is commendable. That has nothing to do with what I may or may not be doing through my church or otherwise to minister to people who are struggling to make ends meet for this reason or any other. I thought I was pretty clear that me helping someone wasn't really contingent upon my opinion of why they need help.
What I said was stupid was losing your job for tribal politics. I'm happy to stand by that statement. If you're losing your job for a reason other than tribal politics, then the statement doesn't apply to you.
