Vaccinated or Not

Vaccination status will not prevent you from receiving treatment from Christo Scheepers Therapeutic Reflexologist!  Read more in today’s post.

We are living in unprecedented times with an ongoing global pandemic, floods, earthquakes, and looting wreaking havoc everywhere.  It also appears that we are presently living in a society where everybody has an opinion about everything, yet common logic has flown out the window.  Just making a statement like this will cause hundreds of people that would like to argue about it, usually ending up becoming personal and telling me that by making a statement like that shows that I’m closed-minded, or a fanatic, just because I do not necessarily agree with their approach and challenge them on it.  It is sad that we have become a global society of intolerance while trying to convince everyone around us how tolerant we are; simply put, if you do not follow the crowd, fail to uphold the status quo and dare to think for yourself and challenge a popular opinion, you are ear-marked as a fanatic and closed-minded person.  I guess that is your right to believe that because lately everyone has rights except the ones going against the status quo, which is a clear indication that the self-professed tolerance of the global community is nothing more than a mere front making them feel good about themselves while discriminating against the ones not believing as they do, yet tolerance and liberty for all are professed to be the foundation of modern society.

We are living in a world where your COVID-19 vaccination status has become the new form of global Apartheid.  Apartheid is no longer about your race or your skin colour, it is now about your vaccination status.  This is especially evident in countries like France where they are presently discussing their president’s decision to prevent everyone that is not vaccinated from entering cinemas, coffee shops, public transport, and so forth.  It is matters like these that fuel the conspiracy theories about the fact that there is more behind COVID-19 than meets the eye.  It is interesting to listen to the news this week where this is happening in France as they talk about the millions of their citizens that have been vaccinated already, yet in the next breath the news is talking about the fact that France has entered a fourth wave of the virus and possible curfews may be implemented again; that amidst all the vaccinated citizens and making vaccinations compulsory.  Nobody is allowed to question the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine because if you do, social media will block you or override your message with their own message about vaccines and if anybody dares to mention that it does not seem as if the COVID-19 vaccine is effective if new waves of the pandemic emerge, then you are classified as a fanatic and closed-minded person while you are told in no uncertain terms that you should go get yourself vaccinated.

This is just the world we are living in at the moment.  Your opinion of COVID-19 vaccinations is your right but may be irrelevant in the near future.

It is matters like these that result in many people asking questions like whether the COVID-19 vaccine is the mark of the beast (666) as described in Revelation 13:11-18 in the Christian Bible without which people will not be able to buy or sell?  These questions are understandable when listening to the news this week and how France is restricting trade and access if people have not been vaccinated.  However, there are clear differences between the two.  Much discussion about this matter can be entered into, but this is not the idea of this post.

Today, I would like to focus on the fact that there is clear discrimination in the world we live in based on your vaccination status.  There is a large group believing that it is the right thing to do to get the vaccine while there is also a large group believing that getting the vaccine is not the right thing to do.  The former group believes the vaccine will protect them against the COVID-19 virus and they can live without fear while the latter group believes it does not and the injection is not a proper vaccine because the definition of vaccine means that you become immune to an illness while the COVID-19 vaccine does not make you immune as you can still contract the virus, you can still spread the virus and you should still follow the same safety protocols even if you have been vaccinated.  The former group would profess that the vaccine is safe and have been tested over a long period of time while the latter group would say that the vaccine has been rushed and skipped animal trials and proper clinical trials have not been done and therefore the long-term side-effects of the vaccine is not known and therefore, they are not ready to take it at this point in time.

It is in the midst of these arguments that we are presently living where global governments have been given tremendous control by their citizens to overrule their basic human rights in order to protect the global community; yet, the way many of the restrictions have been implemented, are the very reasons why certain conspiracy theories are fuelled, especially when a government publicly declares that COVID-19 vaccines is a choice and will never become mandatory, just to make it mandatory a few months later.

With all that said, the question in the minds of many people is: Are you vaccinated, or will you be vaccinated?  I rarely share my own opinion about matters and even though I do sometimes share controversial messages, it is not to show my opinion, it is merely as a teacher at heart, to get people to think and therefore I have often been called out incorrectly about a matter as the readers think it is my opinion, yet my opinion is irrelevant, it is your opinion that counts, but your opinion, and not your opinion as told to you by the status quo.  Personally, I think it is the choice of every individual, and the fact that politicians want to force people with legislation and restrictions into getting vaccinated is not the answer and definitely not the correct way in handling a global pandemic as it fuels conspiracy theories and discourages buy-in.  Every person is responsible for his or her own body, as well as for the consequences of the choices made, and as such, I treat every person wanting to make an appointment at my practice in such a manner.
