It's a shame smart people abandoned the Church. Romans makes it clear that Gentile Christians are not to be held to the Law of Moses, but that rather extensive part of Deuteronomy that deals with bodily fluids and rashes and stuff makes it equally clear that, even if we're not meant to follow those exact rules, basic sanitation and disease control is part of the unwritten Law of God. Coupled with the idea that all authority comes from God (not just their particular authority, as this was written at a time when Rome was still ruled by pagans with pretentions of personal godhood), a compelling argument could have been made that staying home, masking up, and getting the vaccine is what Jesus wants you to do.
But there is nobody left who is either able or willing to make that argument.
