Aggravating

I came across an article recently about some pastor working for an evangelical religious company who got fired because he wrote a column recommending that Christians get a COVID-19 vaccination.  The reason they gave for firing him was "because his public comments violated the organization's policy of neutrality on COV-19 vaccines".  What the actual f*ck?  This implies that there is actually a rational, scientific and plausible reason for not taking the vaccine.  Which there isn't.  There shouldn't be any "neutrality" when it comes to public health.  So much for love thy neighbor.  It's this kind of thinking which makes the US so backward and likely to take so much longer to recover from the pandemic.  Even in our state, there have been protests against vaccine and mask mandates recently.  It's a shame I haven't driven past any of these protests, because instead of honking my horn in support I'd very much like to give them the finger.  So, so aggravating.
