This video genuinely frightens me, my priest along with others who I consider close friends and people I look up to all too the vaccine. They did this when it first came out because they believed this is what would protect their children (us). My priest isn't American, he was born in Egypt as I am Coptic Orthodox, they came to America however. He is in the age range for heart issues from the vaccine and I have no idea which brand he took or if it matters. I don't know what I would do if he died, he has been there for me to help keep me mentally stable.
The point your trying to make about oil isn't the right point for this scenario. They see multiple families, multiple people, they go into others homes, for them they are trying to protect their children from if they catch a disease and spread it to them. Like I said they are not American born and they are priests their whole life is about servitude so they don't watch the media or spend time online their focus is God and taking care of us their Children.
Now there are some priests I know who are a little bit more smarter I guess you can say as they are American born and understand the deception from the media. They didn't buy into the whole vaccine nonsense. The Coptic Church doesn't force the priests to get vaccinated it leaves the decision up to the individual.
And what happens if your brakes don't work and I'm in front of your vehicle which is speeding along at 60 MPH?
You said that you take a drug to protect yourself and not others. This is simply incorrect.
Take any contagious disease. For the sake of argument, it has a 100% kill rate and the drug completely prevents you from contracting it. Now, say you have 3 children who are unable to take the drug due to some reason or other. Once again for the sake of argument, let's say you're the only person who comes into contact with them and they never go out. What do you do to prevent them from getting smallpox? Make yourself unable to give it to them. Now you've not only protected yourself but also the children from getting it.
On a larger scale, herd immunity protects the people who are unable to take the drug to prevent them from getting sick, as well as the people with an immune deficiency making benign illnesses deadly. Herd immunity can be reached either through enough people contracting the disease and achieving immunity, through a drug that gives you that immunity, or both. So you could say that by contracting the disease or by taking a vaccine (assuming it works) you are protecting other people (allergic to vaccine, immune system problem, etc.).
I am not Protestant, and I don't expect you to understand the Orthodox faith, no where have I ever said I don't put my trust in Christ. You are assuming this based on whatever you have been taught about priests.
I am also not Catholic, while we do have a Pope and we are the first to use the word Pope to designate who we defer to for most of the decision the Pope is just another bishop and all our bishops must discuss any decisions being made. I am Coptic Orthodox. Our Pope is H.H. Pope Tawadros II.

You take a drug to protect yourself, not to protect others.
Do you change the oil on your car to protect your friend's car?

One does not take a drug to protect others. That's NOT how biology works.
There is no excuse for a lack of common sense and extremely basic science.
No, but you do make sure your brakes work so you don't smash into someone else's car while on the road.
The status of MY brakes does not affect the function of YOUR brakes.
Please don't fall into the liberal logic (rather the lack thereof) trap.

Put your trust in Jesus, not a man.

That screams deception. The pope is a lie.
