They may be acting in good faith but they are all wrong, and should not be using their office to mix their personal political and medical opinions with the Great Commandment. The research on side effects (in pregnancy etc) is non existent. Those who had recovered from covid and then taken the vaccine often suffer severe adverse effects - I know personally 5 people who did just that and got really sick after the vaccination. Recovery from the virus gives immunity that still needs to be examined.
