Crap.
I wouldn't be too concerned over what a "study" says. These "studies" are frequently rigged to get the results/conclusion desired by Big Pharma who is funding the study. Like the recent study that Canadian media has been blasting all over the place about how the unvaccinated allegedly pose a great danger to the vaccinated.
Ultimately, it's in God's hands either way, and I'll remember your wife and family in my prayers.
