I’ve been thinking a lot about the increasing evidence that the mRNA shots are driving chronic covid reinfections and general immune system impairment. It’s incredibly ironic in the worst possible way, because these shots were supposed to be “our way out” of the supposed pandemic. The more people that took them, the faster we’d reach “herd immunity” and restrictions could be lifted. Remember that?
Currently, some dear friends of mine who are “fully vaccinated” are very sick with covid. They are at home miserable with sore throats, fever, cough, and headache. They did what they were supposed to do to avoid this terrible plague, and it has come upon them regardless.
Unfortunately, if growing evidence is to be believed, they may be in for not only chronic covid reinfection, with inability to really ever clear the virus, but also general immune suppression, vulnerable to every passing contagion. Before catching covid, the husband of this family was sick for several weeks with some lingering respiratory bug. The wife suffers from a painful autoimmune disease that began, by her telling, seven or eight months ago. I haven’t had the chance yet to ask if it began after her “vaccination” but I’d bet money it did.
The irony is that this family is terrified of covid. And of course, this is the intended result of months of government, media, and health official propaganda. Greatly exaggerated death counts, masks, lockdowns, and the whole bit seem to have been devilishly designed to create the greatest amount possible of fear of this pathogen. And of course, our “saviour” would be the miraculous vaccines. Those who did not do independent research but believed all the propaganda rushed out to get themselves jabbed as soon as they possibly could.
And now, that which was supposed to be their salvation has turned out to be the exact opposite. It has driven them into the arms of precisely that which they were fleeing. Meanwhile, those who did not give in to the fear, those who maintained a skeptical distance, those who did their own research and realized that covid was nothing to fear, develop robust and long-lasting natural immunity.
Fear is a terrible basis for making good decisions. It is impossible to rationally assess your options and make an optimal choice when you are driven by panic. Fear will cause you to grab at the first offered solution that claims to provide an escape from your dilemma. Unfortunately, this often leads to even worse outcomes. “Out of the frying pan into the fire” is a saying for a reason.
In this case, it is incredibly evil because the fear was not a natural reaction, but an outcome deliberately manufactured by all levels of society. Unfortunately, its pathetic victims continue to live in terror, out of all proportion to reality. And they keep injecting themselves in a vain attempt to gain safety.
Almost all of the people I know who live in terror of covid are not believers in Jesus. This is understandable, even if their fear is not rational, because what it has called up is the fear of death, long suppressed by our societal ignoring of the end that will come to all of us. One can live as if death will never arrive, but once it is shoved in our faces day and night, that primal fear resurfaces. The truth is that most of our lives are an attempt to distract ourselves from our own mortality. We live as if we will live forever. What is the option if we have no hope of life beyond death? It’s unsustainable to live paralyzed by terror. However, this only works as long as we are able to continue ignoring it.
Unfortunately, a few of my friends who live in fear of covid are believers. This reveals a lack in their understanding of God’s word and God’s promises. For those who are in Christ, fear is always a lie. Living in anxiety belies a lack of confidence and trust that God is who he says he is, and that he will do what he says he will do. We can’t make good, God-honouring choices when we are driven by fear.
Even death is nothing to fear for a Christian. Those who fear it are fearing the wrong thing, according to Jesus:
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. (Matthew 10:28-31)
Don’t allow fear to rule you. Don’t allow it to drive your decisions. Recognize, if you are a believer in Christ, that God rules your life and everything that happens to you, and that he’s working everything out for your good (Romans 8:28). That doesn’t mean avoiding any or all trouble and difficulty, even death, but it does mean that in God’s sovereign plan he will make it work out for your ultimate benefit. Live boldly and confidently and reject fear as a lie when it creeps up on you.
During the "pandemic" the few who stood up in our benighted land were the pastors. Hildebrand , Pawlowski and others. They took on the full power of the state, the fear, hatred and the attacks from all sides. Pawlowski himself put a MASSIVE target on his back and did the time in prison. ALL to be vindicated! Not that the general populace here would care.
I have to admit I don't have any faith, I came to "no jab for me" out of my ultra health conscious lifestyle. Basically a nutrition nut who early on learned how completely out of touch and bought off most "experts" are.
You said what I long to say to so many still caught up in fear. Or now facing unexpected illness. Why pile on I ask myself. The folks I hang with that know I’m unjabbed don’t mention Covid at all. Maybe they talk about it when I’m not there. I don’t know. My neighbor (in her 50’s) told me she has just been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Another friend has autoimmune hepatitis since soon after her last shot. She is boostering still. To her I will say something to maybe make her think of more. Her life is very substandard now. Every day a crapshoot of ability to live with some measure of good feelings.
