To Vax or Not to Vax

One of the pression questions that Christians face here is 2021 is the whether they should get the vaccine or not.  In my opinion, the answer is no. 

Why do I say this?

Put simply, I do not trust the people who are pushing the vaccine.

I cite this rather than any scientific studies of one sort of another for the reason that, at least for me, it can be difficult to evaluate the research.  I am not a virologist, neither do I play one on TV.  I have no scientific credentials of any sort.  The last chemistry class I took was when I was in high school and I dropped it. 

But while my scientific credentials are non-existent, as a Christian I can evaluate the words and actions of the vaccine pushers through the lens of a Christian world view.  And when seen in light of the Scriptures, the words and actions of Team Apocalypse – writer and Covid skeptic Alex Berenson’s term for the Covid fear mongers, lockdowners and vaccine mandators –  are, in my view, weighed in the balance and found wanting. 

Lets’ go back to early in the Covid panic of 2020.  First, we were told by Anthony Fauci not to wear masks, then we were told we have to wear them.  Then we were told that we ought to wear two or more masks at a time.  And all this was not without an shred of evidence that masking did anything to stop the spread of Covid.  “Virus gonna virus” is the way mask and social distancing skeptics put it.

Then there’s the whole thing about locking down and masking up healthy people.  This goes against any historic practice of dealing with pandemics.  More importantly, it contradicts what the Scriptures teach about dealing with disease outbreaks.  Yes, the Bible does address the issue of infectious diseases.  Just check out Leviticus 13, which sets out, in great detail, the standards for quarantining those with leprosy.  Only after a person was diagnosed by a priest with leprosy, and generally this was a multi-step process, was he quarantined by being put outside the camp.  At no point is there any provision in the Law of Moses to lock down Israel to prevent the spread of leprosy.  Quarantining was done on a case by case basis.

This approach to quarantining – only individuals are quarantined, and that only after due process is followed – is parallel to the Bible’s approach to criminal justice.  There are two basic ways of approaching criminal justice, crime punishment and crime prevention.  The crime punishment model is the Christian approach, in which one begins with the crime, follows the evidence, and punishes the perpetrator only after he has been found guilty in a court of law.  Crime prevention, on the other hand, is all about trying to stop crime before it happens by regulating everyone in advance.  It’s a form of punishing the innocent, which is forbidden in Scripture. 

Another reason why I don’t trust the lockdowners and vaxers is their medieval dogmatism.  Back in the bad old days of the middle ages, the Roman Catholic Church-State made belief in things such as the real presence of Christ in the mass a matter of dogma.  You could be burned at the stake if you denied it.  Many of the great English reformers such as Thomas Cranmer were burned for this very reason. And despite Rome’s protestations that it no longer supports the death penalty for any reason, one can easily imagine the Church-State resorting to tortures and burning in the future if it’s ever in the position to do so. 

But let us not get too far afield of our subject at hand.  One hint of the return of medievalism is the cancelling and deplatforming of people who contradict the official Covid pronouncements of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). 

For example, Facebook had a policy of removing all posts that included claims such as:

• COVID-19 is man-made or manufactured
• Vaccines are not effective at preventing the disease they are meant to protect against
• It’s safer to get the disease than to get the vaccine
• Vaccines are toxic, dangerous or cause autism

Just for arguments sake, let’s suppose all these claims are false.  The idea that debate ought to be shut down and the official WHO and CDC line ought to be the only voice heard is at the very least un-American and could well be considered medieval.  Transparency and openness are characteristics of Biblical government, repression of thought and speech are endemic of tyrannies. 

Bottom line, the assertions of those who wish to use force to silence the opposition very reasonably ought to be suspect.  And this is the case quite apart from any issues of the First Amendment right to free speech   If those who maintain that COVID-19 originated in a Chinese wet market must employ social media to enforce their claims and refuse to even debate the issue, it’s fair wonder whether they have much of a case.  In this respect, the powers that shouldn’t be act just like the Roman Catholic Church-State in the middle ages that, instead of openly debating and defending its dogmas, put to death those who raised uncomfortable questions.  This is entirely, one hundred percent out of step with the Scriptures, with Western civilization built on the Scriptures, with the Constitution, and with America’s long-standing tradition of open inquiry. It is medievalism.   

For what it’s worth, Facebook revised its policy on this on May 26 in light of significant evidence that COVID-19 was engineered in the Wuhan Institute for Virology.

Then there’s the matter of withholding therapeutics such as hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and ivermectin that have been shown to be effective in treating Covid.  But as Paul Craig Roberts reports, “Effective cures, such as HCQ and Ivermectin were demonized and in many states prohibited.  Most Covid deaths are the result of non-treatment.” 

Dr. Pierre Kory, who is a noted expert on Covid and has himself testified before Congress on the subject, tweeted out that a 2015 Nobel Prize winner and the man credited with discovering ivermectin, Dr. Satoshi Omura, had a video taken down by YouTube.  In this video, Dr. Satoshi discussed the science supporting ivermectin as a treatment of Covid. 

What kind of sick, twisted corporation would censor a video by a Nobel Prize winning scientist credited with discovering a drug that may well be an effective cure for Covid?  Does this man not deserve to speak?  This is an outrage. 

But more than just a cure, according to Dr. Kory’s testimony before Congress, ivermectin is an effective prophylactic.  That it to say, taking ivermectin keeps you from getting Covid.  “If you take it,” said Dr. Kory before Congress, “you will not get sick [from Covid].”

Those who push to quash the use, or even discussion of, possible effective preventatives and cures for Covid while at the same time touting vaccines that are experimental and have not been fully tested, have demonstrably killed thousands of people, and may not even be effective at preventing people from getting Covid, quite simply have blood on their hands.

Above I mentioned that much of the “public discussion” surrounding Covid is medieval, showing all the tolerance for disagreement one would expect from Spanish Inquisition.  Worth noting in this regard is that one of biggest Covid hoaxers of them all is Jesuit trained Dr. Anthony Fauci.  He and the current Jesuit Antichrist Pope Francis I have been relentless pushers of Covid protocols.

In a tweet dated 7/10/21, bestselling author Jim Rickards wrote, “Why is Fauci not in jail?  Leading patent expert explains how Fauci has created disease for decades so he could patent “cures” to enrich himself while millions died.” If true, this would make Fauci like an arsonist who sets you house on file, then rides up in a firetruck to play the hero and put it out.  If true, Fauci is a mass murderer. 

And I haven’t even gotten into discussing much about the lockdowns, the destroyed jobs, ruined businesses, attacks on Christians’ liberty to worship.  I have said nothing about the vaccine passports that were so much the rage a couple of months back.  The pushback on them was such that the powers that shouldn’t be had to back off…at least for now.  But rest assured, vaccine passports are not dead.  They’re be back on the table at some point. 

In summary, when I consider the enormous lies, assaults on liberty and human destruction created by the pro-vaccine crowd, there is no way in the world that I would trust any product these people push. 

Oh, and I haven’t even mentioned the immunity vaccine manufacturers have against lawsuits over harm caused by their vaccines.
