COVID-19; tackling the contemporary issues head-on:
Let’s unpack and put to rest the whole COVID-19 Vaccine media-and-political hype so that people on my Facebook page can stop misunderstanding my posts and spend hours contemplating how to respond to me, or decide for themselves it is time to leave my page.
Disclaimer: I am not a medical doctor so my opinions and posts should not affect your decisions. What I share here are some personal views at this moment in time (that may change in the future, but with the information at my disposal at this moment in time, this is what I believe to be the situation). What I share on my Facebook page is not there to influence you or your decisions, I share posts, jokes, and family photo’s so that I can find them again in the future, not to influence any person; you are welcome to read and enjoy it with me, but if you think this is a platform for you to constantly argue with me, please remove yourself or I’ll be forced to do it. You are all adults and should make your own decisions without allowing the media or social media posts to influence you.
So here are my personal opinions:
(1) Is there a global pandemic?
Yes
(2) Is there a need to address the pandemic?
Yes
(3) Is the pandemic being addressed properly?
No, lockdown regulations are illogical and biased. It often appears to be an attempt to silencing the church (which has nothing to do with safety and hygiene). What is happening with CRC being targeted by the SAPS at the moment is a blatant abuse of power. Nobody will convince me of any logic in bias like a taxi with 18 people squashed on top of each other (while the driver is not even wearing a mask) or an airplane with every seat filled with people or a protest action with thousands of people without masks nor social distancing is safer than a 6500 seat auditorium that may only seat 50 people and then the SAPS with automatic rifles show up to enforce such stupid regulations while they are absent when provinces are being looted and businesses are being destroyed. What is more worrying to me (for which I have been verbal about for the past year) is the fact that the majority of the churches are silent about this removal of their rights to worship and they have been totally silent while other industries like the taxi industry have fought for their rights to operate. This is not a matter of specific religions, this is a matter of freedom of religion being tampered with while the people are too ignorant to realise it.
(4) Should I get the vaccine?
That is not my place or any other person’s place to answer, you need to make that decision based on the information you have available; whatever your choice, you need to live with the consequences of your decisions; we all do.
(5) Will you reject me if I take the vaccine or choose not to take the vaccine? No, never. I do not discriminate against any person for their choices regardless of age, culture, ethnicity, gender, health status, HIV status, illness status, sexual orientation, sexual preferences nor vaccination status.
(6) Will you still consult with me in your practice if I choose to take or choose not to take the vaccine? Yes, in my practice I do not discriminate against anyone and will always treat you with dignity and respect regardless of your choices; I have already worked with the vaccinated and the unvaccinated, pre-and post-COVID-19 positive people, without any problems; the media narrative that the unvaccinated are spreading the virus is unproven and the CDC also indicated that people that are fully vaccinated can still spread the virus (https://www.cdc.gov/…/fully-vaccinated-guidance.html) and thus the big hype in the USA about wanting to reintroduce mask-wearing; there are too many confusing messages going around that are unproven at this stage and discriminating against people without real facts, is unacceptable behaviour. You will be treated with dignity and respect in my practice even if we disagree on some matters because in my business and personal life it is not about enforcing my opinions on other people. I have been practicing throughout the lockdown without any problems as all safety and hygiene protocols of the industry I am involved in are in place to ensure the safety of every person entering my business. Your safety, comfort, and well-being are 0f the highest priority and I shall never compromise your safety and thus have efficient screening and safety protocols in place that are fully adhered to at all times; I have even obtained disposable linens to be used where necessary for the protection of every person.
(7) Should the vaccines for this pandemic be made mandatory?
No, not at this stage because it is premature as there are no approved vaccines available; what is being used at the moment are unapproved products being tested on the global community (PLEASE NOTE: On 24 August 2021 after publishing this post, the FDA approved the first vaccine for COVID-19 called Comirnaty – read more on their website); once there are vaccines that are approved, then a discussion can commence about whether it should be mandatory (as childhood vaccines are), so no, I do not agree with what some countries are doing at the moment where they are making it mandatory to get an unapproved clinical trial product to travel or to enter specific spaces. Mandating a clinical trial product that is unapproved, is illogical and only fuels all the conspiracy theories. Do not take my word for it, keep yourself informed at the right places (which does not mean the biased media and self-professed social media “experts”; also, do not merely read headlines (which are often biased and manipulated by Facebook algorithms), read the actual content and documents available. Keep yourself informed directly from websites like that of the FDA and you will see that on 12 August 2021 there is still no approved vaccine for COVID-19, they are all still trial products: https://www.fda.gov/…/learn-more-about-covid-19…, also, the CDC might be a good place to obtain information: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/vpd-vac-basics.html
(8) Are people well informed?
No, the mainstream media and social media are causing division between people due to biased reporting of information resulting in people discriminating against each other, hurting each other, and arrogantly bullying each other because they believe to have superior knowledge than others; just because somebody is supposedly in the majority, does not necessarily make them right. Enforcing your opinion onto others is nothing other than bully behaviour; stop abusing your position and stop manipulating other people.
(9) Are all the COVID-19 “vaccines” safe?
You have to determine that for yourself, but there are numerous side effects reported for all of the products being used (see the FDA website) and then there are also some “vaccines” not approved for use within the USA but those very “vaccines” are being exported by the USA for use in other countries (see https://www.fda.gov/…/coronavirus-covid-19-update…).
(10) What is causing confusion about the COVID-19 “vaccines”?
Firstly, the fact that confusing information is being spread while any opposing views are being silenced by the mainstream media. This is only fueling conspiracy theories.
Secondly, mainstream media messages like getting the vaccine to protect yourself and others, but after getting the vaccine, you can still get COVID-19 and you can also still spread COVID-19. These messages are making it difficult for people to believe what is true.
Thirdly, mainstream media and their supporters are targeting those who choose not to get vaccinated by arrogantly patronizing them and trying to manipulate them by using bullying tactics. This is only causing division in the world while unnecessarily hurting people while making those doing the bullying appear to be arrogant pricks that are highly exalted by their fellow opinionated followers.
Fourthly, people are afraid that the COVID-19 “vaccines” is the “mark of the beast” as mentioned in Revelation in the Christian Bible without which you will not be able to buy or sell. This fear is fueled by countries that use “mandatory vaccines” as their way of forcing people to get vaccines and all they do in the process is to further fuel this belief because without the accompanying QR code people will not be able to access certain places which in a way causes them not to be able to buy or sell without the QR code. What further fuels this fear is the very fact that many of the churches are totally silent about this matter and instead just keeps on speaking their “feel-good” messages online instead of addressing the contemporary issue because they do not want to offend anyone and think their silence does not speak volumes. So, my opinion on this is that I do not think the “vaccines” is the mark of the beast, not at this stage anyway, but it may very well be the forerunner of what may come in the future as predicted in Revelation (nobody knows) (but so is your cellphone, your computer, your smartwatch, and many other electronic devices, barcodes, and QR codes). However, if you want to use the Bible, do so properly and do not take a verse out of context and you will see that the mark of the beast as discussed in Revelation has to do with a spiritual decision that will be made (choose the antichrist and receive the mark of the beast as devotion to him for which you will, in turn, get the ability to buy and sell, or choose Jesus Christ, reject the mark of the beast and you will be publicly put to death as you have openly rejected the antichrist). That is not so for the COVID-19 “vaccines” at this point in time. A little bit of information is more dangerous than no information, so read the Bible properly and do not take verses out of context.
To conclude, just because somebody has not taken the COVID-19 “vaccine” or chooses not to take it until it is a properly approved vaccine, does not necessarily make them anti-vax as the mainstream media and followers want to portray, it merely makes them cautious to be part of a clinical trial (with the accompanying unknown side effects and long-term effects that are still emerging) and they may very well consider it (or not) if the products are actually approved as vaccines. That being said, stop bullying people by trying to enforce your opinions and beliefs on them and treat each other with dignity and respect, regardless of whether you agree or disagree about a matter.
I have a soft spot for the underdog, so if you continue to bully others, I shall stand up for them because you will not bully somebody that cannot stand up for themselves in my presence; I’ll stand up for them regardless of whether I agree with their opinions, beliefs or decisions or not; it is about your arrogant bullying and your attempt to take away their freedoms and rights and not about their decisions, beliefs or opinions.
Vaccinated or not, considering vaccination or not, do your own research on reputable platforms and stop taking life so seriously; relax, laugh, and enjoy life, even in the midst of a global pandemic; do not lose your sense of humour and do not live in fear; we are all going to die at some point in time, so there is no use in wasting the time you have available to live. Live every day to the fullest, and get a Therapeutic Reflexology session to spoil yourself now and then!
