hey, y'all, i don't know what's happening in this thread, and i'm not gonna read 190 pages to find out, lol.
just wanted to drop a couple of ideas... went to see the doc a few weeks ago and he asked me if i wanted the "vaccine". i told him i was taking a wait and see approach because i thought we're still in human trials. he immediately affirmed, 'these ARE third phase clinical trials. (he and his wife took the vaxx. they have kids who are missionaries in Nepal, Hong Kong, and Lebanon and they want to see their grandbabies.) they are both Christians, and chose to trust the Lord in getting the vaxx, and he never once derided me for choosing to trust the Lord by NOT getting it. i love that guy.
the other thng is, we're stuck with the rona, now. it's not going anywhere so we better learn to live with it.
there's a reason pathogens like the ones that cause smallpox and measles could be eradicated and that reason is humans are the only species affected by them. there are no animal reservoirs for those pathogens.
on the other hand, deer in the county we live in (about 90 miles north of Manhattan) have tested positive for covid antibodies. i'm unsure of other animals who can carry the virus, but i know there
are others. the rona can't be eradicated on that basis alone, right?
i put vaccine in quotes above because it's not a vaccine in any sense of the word we've understood it to mean.
it neither prevents one from getting covid, not spreading it. now, c'mon, that's not what we've ever thought of as a vaccine!
please forgive me if i'm going over ground already covered. i'm far too indolent to read this whole thread.
i love you all, my family in Christ. He's the one who unites us as family, and we ought not allow this virus to divide us.
