Sometimes it is not that a tool is a bad tool, it is just that it is not the right tool for the job. If you are dealing with something that is intricate or precious or both, then you want to be sure. Recently black people were wondering if black lives matter. Now many are wondering if anybody matters. How valuable or precious are the lives of average people to big business and big politics? Your world view determines the tools that you bring to the table. For fundamentalist Christians their lives matter to their God and if one dies it is an issue with Him. Psalms 116:15 [KJV], Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. When someone causes a Christian lo lose their lives it does not go unnoticed. Contributing to the death of a Christian was something feared but that was when the Bible was widely known (not just known of) and people feared God's word and respected His omnipotence. The final part of this article is what I recognise from science would have been an adequate protocol for covid-19. What we currently have is very bad in my opinion.

This is one of a series of four articles that I have written dealing with covid-19 in an effort to help people who are searching for some biblical and scientific light in all the madness. I am not sure whether or not the order in which they are read is important but this in the order in which I wrote them:

Treating God's creation with respect

God's works are amazing

King James Version Psalms 111 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. 2 The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. 3 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever. 4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion. 5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. 6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. 7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. 8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. 9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

One wonders if the Judaeo-Christian community that vilifies people who object to the mRNA vaccine alternative have considered this psalm. What God has done in the gift of the human body is to be respected at least. From the beginning with the works of creation and on through the ages God had been amazing. When God had completed creation He said that it was all very good and that included the immune system in man.

Genesis 1:31 [KJV] And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

After God had completed the creation of man He was able to say that.

The flood

He preserved mankind from death in one era to live in another through another amazing act. In chapters 69 of the Book of Genesis God told Noah to build an enormous boat. It would have seemed crazy until the waters came but none of the ones that would have laughed were around to see that boat land on Ararat.

After the flood at first God dealt with individuals which we call the patriarchs. Each of the patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob/Israel) had their own amazing stories to tell. From them God began a nation and named it after the patriarch that He sent to Egypt with his family. The account is called the Exodus and is again an amazing record of history.

The Exodus

Everybody knows that Israel crossed the Red Sea in their escape from Egypt. What some people do not know is that God did that miracle twice. You can read about the second time that God parted a river for Israel to cross in Joshua 3. The events of the Exodus take up a whole book of the Bible are a series of supernatural events.

After the Exodus there are more amazing stories.

Joshua's long day

Joshua had made an agreement with the town of Gibeon who had deceived him into believing that they were from a distant land. When Gibeon was attacked by a coalition of kings, Adonizedek of Jerusalem, Hoham of Hebron, Piram of Jarmuth, Japhia of Lachish, and Debir of Eglon together with five chieftains of the Amorites; Josha responded to their plea for help and met the assailants in battle at Gibeon (Joshua 10:1-10). God said that He gave them into Israel's hand and they fled before Israel. The Lord rained down hailstones and killed many of them as they tried to escape. Then Joshua prayed to God Sun, stand thou still at Gibeon, and thou Moon in the valley of Aijalon. So the sun stood still and the moon remained.

Joshua 10:12-14 [KJV] Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. 13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. 14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.

Deliverance during the time of the Judges

One example is Gideon whose story begins in Judges 6. God called Gideon to judge by sending an angel to speak with him. Around verse 36, when Gideon was finally set to go to war he asked god for evidence that He was behind him: a fleece left outside would be wet with due and the surrounding area dry, then the ground would be wet and the fleece dry. The really impressive moment for me comes in chapter 7. Gideon brought 32,000 men (verses 3-4) but God said that they were too many!

Judges 7:1-8 [KJV] Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley. 2 And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. 3 Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand. 4 And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. 5 So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink. 6 And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water. 7 And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place. 8 So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.

God reduced them down to 300 men.

DAVID

The story of the kings of Israel began with the rejection of God as king much like we are doing today. After the unfortunate disaster with Saul God chose a new king who had the experience of amazing miracles from God from his youth, he killed a lion and a bear 1 Samuel 17:34-36. He then went on to kill Goliath, the champion to the philistines, and deliver Israel.

I Samuel 17:48-51 [KJV] And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth. 50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David. 51 Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.

HEZEKIAH

Hezekiah gives us the template for how we must deal with bullies and threats when he is delivered from Senaccherib.

II Kings 19:14-19 [KJV] And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD. 15 And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth. 16 LORD, bow down thine ear, and hear: open, LORD, thine eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent him to reproach the living God. 17 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands, 18 And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them. 19 Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech thee, save thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only.

Then there is another amazing miracle from God when Hezekiah's life is extended. God actually moved the sun backwards.

II Kings 20:1-11 [KJV] In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. 2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying, 3 I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. 4 And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying, 5 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD. 6 And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant Davids sake. 7 And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered. 8 And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day? 9 And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees? 10 And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees. 11 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.

CYRUS

Over a hundred years before He actually did it, God decided to punish His people with captivity and prophesied Cyrus by name as the one who would release them seventy years after. God used a pagan that neither knew Him nor the role that he was required to play in order to fulfil His plan for Israel.

Isaiah 44:28 - 45:3 [KJV] That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid. 45:1 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; 2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: 3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.

One book that records the fulfilment of this prophecy is II Chronicles and another is Ezra.

II Chronicles 36:22-23 [KJV] Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, 23 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.
Ezra 1:1-3 [KJV] Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, 2 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. 3 Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem.

JEHU

God did a similar thing with Jehu to what he did with many great kings and judges before. He called them when they were nobodies.

I Kings 19:15-17 [KJV] And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria: [16] And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. [17] And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.

At the time when the prophecy was made to Elijah Ahab was king. Ahabs father was Omri. According to the Bible, the Omride rulers (rulers from the house of Omri)  of Israel were Omri, Ahab, Ahaziah and Jehoram.

The uprising by Jehu ended the dynasty of Omri under Jehoram but when the prophecy was made by Elijah it does not appear that there was any Jehu around as a significant person. Elijah never actually spoke with Jehu, it was left to Elisha to do that.

Limiting God

As his chosen nation even rebellious Israel cried out to God when they were threatened by impending doom but I don't know if the people of God have enough heart to that today because nowadays we prefer to limit God.

Psalms 78:36-42 [KJV] Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. 37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant. 38 But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. 39 For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. 40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert! 41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. 42 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.

It goes into more detail in the New Testament.

II Timothy 3:1-6 [KJV] This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.  [2] For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,  [3] Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,  [4] Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;  [5] Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.  [6] For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

People no longer have the heart to and create perilous times for themselves and others. When you insist that somebody else should put themself at risk to protect you are you not a lover of your own self? The rest of that sentence is clear as it relates to the behaviour of many so called Christians in the recent covid-19 trials. The Bible goes so far as to tell us to turn away from that type of behaviour but they embrace it. A feature of the trials that we have is to remind us of who delivers us. If we never turn to God in our trials but find some other way, it robs us of our faith to rely on Him in a crisis. Another thing that can rob us of spiritual growth is disrespecting God's servants and that is because we tend to disrespect God Himself.

Mark 6:1-6 [KJV] And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him. 2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? 3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. 4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. 5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. 6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.

The point that Christ made is that A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. When we believe that people who rely on God are idiots and simple minded then we cannot benefit from anything that He does with or through those people. What they are doing, by definition shows that they fear God with whatever simple minds and simple knowledge they have. What does the actions of the people who ridicule them show?

Among the miracles that Christ did there is one that highlights and aspect of His character that is very relevant to what we are discussing now.

John 2:1-11 [KJV] And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. 11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

Notice verse 10. The wine that He made was the good wine. The things that God gives us are perfect.

James 1:17 [KJV] Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

God made Israel a perfect nation.

Ezekiel 16:14 [KJV] And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.

God is perfect.

Matthew 5:48 [KJV] Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

He heals perfectly. Since by healing He is restoring it to His original form the original form is perfect.

Acts 3:16 [KJV] And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

We are supposed to seek wisdom not just accept the corruption that is offered us.

Proverbs 2:1-9 [KJV] My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; 2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; 3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; 4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. 6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. 7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. 8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. 9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

His way is perfect and that is how He directs us

II Samuel 22:29-33 [KJV] For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness. 30 For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall. 31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. 32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God? 33 God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.

When Job considered God he said that his heart trembled. Is that what is going on in the hearts of the people with this mRNA shot?

King James Version: Job Chapter 37 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place. 2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth. 3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth. 4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. 5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. 6 For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. 7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work. 8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places. 9 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north. 10 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened. 11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud: 12 And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth. 13 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy. 14 Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. 15 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine? 16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? 17 How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind? 18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? 19 Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness. 20 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up. 21 And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them. 22 Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty. 23 Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict. 24 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.

That is how we need to approach God and the things of God. My question becomes is that how we are treating the perfect creation of God when we talk of injecting it with experimental mRNA?

God is still the same God. It is the people that change.

King James Version: Psalms 139 O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. 5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. 7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. 12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. 13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mothers womb. 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. 17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. 19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. 20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain. 21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? 22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Treating God's word (prophecy) with respect

I come from a religious background that forty years ago would have automatically chosen the religious world view on the current pandemic. I recently asked someone who I know is a devout Christian from the same background his view on the pandemic and he gave me the political answer, the one garnered from the people rather than a religious one. There is a shift in the Christian community towards politics over religion and they do not even notice it. The tools that they are bringing to the table are not the same as they used to be.

Forty years ago the answer would have begun with the book of Revelation. It would have told me about the man of sin and the Biblical evidence of that. Next it would have told me of what God said would happen in the last days and how this situation has been predicted to occur among Christians and pointed out how what is happening mirrors what  what was predicted in scripture.

Deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it

My caption is taken from Jeremiah 17:9 [KJV], The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

During this period of the covid-19 protocol I have seen some things that I would not have believed if I did not see them with my own eyes. For example I have seen devout Christians whom I have known for years either actively or passively standing behind the protocol while simultaneously professing adherence to the Beatitudes. Somebody is terribly deceived. To me his is an evil of such magnitude that it had to be conceived of in the spiritual realm. I cannot see life as they do. The Beatitudes are part of the Sermon on the Mount so I will just briefly consider them in context as I see them.

Matthew 5:1-20 [KJV] And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:  2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,  3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.  4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.  5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.  6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.  7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.  8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.  9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.  10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.  11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.  12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.  13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.  14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.  15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.  16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.  17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.  18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.  19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.  20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
poor in spirit

We see poor in Spirit again in Isaiah 66:1-2 [KJV], Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? [2] For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word . Can someone be poor in spirit and demand that other people do something that they do not want, that is against international protocols and that could harm them and threaten them with measures that could destroy their families and still be meek?

The traditional explanation for poor in spirit  is that it means people who recognise their own spiritual poverty, their great need for God in order to cope, and hence a hesitancy to judge others. I have a friend who is not happy with that definition so I have added a longer explanation below which you may skip if you already accept my explanation, but whatever it is we know that it is the opposite of domineering and oppressive. Can someone have spiritual poverty and not pray and fast earnestly, individually and with others of like mind, for guidance when facing a situation of such magnitude as this with covid-19? How could such a person be so willing to condemn others for standing by their faith? To me their position is not of the spiritually poor but spiritual gods.

A breakdown of poor in spirit - the longer version. We all have the spirit in man. It is what gives man his capacity to be aware and the mind to achieve. With the spirit in man men have found a variety of way to achieve what they want. By using it they have built empires made astonishing discoveries and so on. It is essentially powered by the tree of the knowledge of good and evil but from the beginning in Genesis 2-3 god told us not to eat of it:  Genesis 2:17 [KJV] But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. In spite of this man could never resist the allure and has always succumbed to its promise of greatness: Genesis 3:5-6 [KJV] For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.  [6] And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. It gave man, in some ways, a capacity that rivalled the potential of god beings, Genesis 3:22-23 [KJV] And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:  [23] Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. That last quote talks about eternal life which comes from the Holy spirit, i.e. the tree of life and hence by comparison the tree of the knowledge of good and evil must represent the spirit that now empowers man. So we see the origin of two spirits. We always have the choice of grabbing and enriching ourselves with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. By that means we can become spiritually rich. If normal men let that go they have nothing left. Christians have been given the Holy Spirit but only an earnest i.e. a tiny little bit given as a down payment. If we reject the spirit in man which came from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil then we become extremely poor in spirit. We become spiritual beggars. We constantly have to beg God to provide our needs by His Spirit. It is not ours, we don't own it. This is the condition of the poor in spirit and they are promised that one day they will no longer have to beg because they will be in the family of God in His kingdom.

they that mourn

some Bibles translate this as Blessed are those who grieve, for they shall be consoled. Grieve for what? That people would not obey the state or that people seem to be doing exactly what the Bible says not to? Consoled by whom? The state and international demi-gods? Are they bringing scripture, God's word, to the table or propagandised catch phrases? What are they grieving for and about? For one side it is the lack of God in the world, as seen by the godlessness of the approach since it goes against the things like assembling together, corporate prayer, fasting, and such fundamentals of Christian activity, and at the same time its similarity to prophetic evils?

the meek

In English meek can mean a lot and the meaning can be conflicting.  On one hand It can mean (a) enduring injury with patience and without resentment while on the other hand (b) deficient in spirit and courage, submissive, uncaring. It can be a compliment indicating that a person remains patiently calm, humble, and peaceful, especially in circumstances that would get most people to act in the opposite way or it can be an insult meaning incapable of responding to situations with appropriate hostility, accepting whatever happens without expressing any opposition. What did Christ mean when we consider His actions and personality as well of what the Bible says on condoning evil? Would you consider the covid-19 protocol supporters meek and by which definition?

hunger and thirst after righteousness

How do we square this with Proverbs 15:9 [KJV], The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness. What is righteousness anyway? It is simply doing what is right by God and other people. How do we find that out? Where do we look for it if we hunger for it, in scripture or in state sponsored rhetoric?

the merciful

Can you be at the same time merciful and seize peoples jobs and deny them access to food and resources based on a hotly debated hypothesis? Can you be merciful when you seek to segregate and oppress and put them on the breadline for standing up for God-given rights? God gave even Satan the right to choose, free moral agency. Can you honestly say that at its core pushing to inoculate children with mRNA is merciful? What are you sparing them from and what are you exposing them to? What does all the evidence say?

pure in heart

What kind of heart did David have? What would he have done if someone was doing this to Israel? Psalms 24:3-4 [KJV],  Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?  [4] He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. Paul said this to Timothy, I Timothy 1:5 [KJV], Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned. He also added this scripture which is often used out of context: II Timothy 2:22-23 [KJV]  Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.  [23] But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. It seems to me that it is talking about being honest and unpretentious. We can discuss things with people who have that attitude but the ones who have some ulterior motive are to be avoided. Have the people who swore that the mRNA vaccine is safe been honest or deceitful with an ulterior motive?

the peacemakers

Who in this are for peace and just want to be left alone? Who is for war and domination? Who is proposing attacking and persecuting the other? Will the way of division into the vaxed and the unvaxed lead to peace?

persecuted for righteousness’ sake

Who is being persecuted for righteousness' sake? Who wants to do right by God's word and who is looking at it disdainfully? If this is true a plague from God for which He has provided no natural defence so that they had to invent an unnatural solution as they seem to believe, why are we not preaching about repentance and turning to God? Why are we not telling these people that their lifestyles are in conflict with the creator and it has us on the brink of disaster? Does God plague people for nothing?

when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake

What are the conditions in this when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake? Who is being reviled and persecuted? Is the persecution based on righteousness (doing right by God and man) or not? Is it true to say that people want to spread the virus to others and that is the certain consequence of their actions? Who is really a danger to whom based on the truth? If they truly know that the mRNA shot is so successful why not just take it and protect themselves instead of accusing others of being a danger to them and leave other people alone?

What can we take away from this as Christians?

Every man has to answer these for himself but God already knows the answer. If we don't actually know we should ask Him and wait on His reply. That lesson is clearly spelled out with the Gibeonites and with the Golden calf. Joshua was tricked by the Gibeonites because he did not seek God. Israel created the Golden Calf because they did not wait on God and many were killed because of it, the story is found in Exodus 32.

Jonah

As Christians we learn some hard lessons from Johan. Jonah was sent on an errand against his will and embarrassed for carrying it out. Jonah warned the people of Nineveh and then God spared them and in a sense made him look like a fool.

King James Version : Jonah Chapter 4 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. 2 And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil. 3 Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live. 4 Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry? 5 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city. 6 And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd. 7 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered. 8 And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live. 9 And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death. 10 Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: 11 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle? 

Jonah was upset because God did not destroy them all. That is not the Godly approach. God is a God of pity and mercy and so He pointed that out to Jonah in verses 10-11. One thing that we as Christians must take away from this experience is that God is a God of mercy and we cannot want to see people suffer just to prove that we were right.

Appearances of Evil

A key principle that I followed in coping with this crisis is I Thessalonians 5:22 [KJV], Abstain from all appearance of evil. Was i wrong? Was there any appearance of evil? Was the Bible wrong in pointing it out as a principle for Christians to live by? I am all for vaccines but the approach taken here was too risky in my opinion and because God had mercy on helpless people does not mean that I was wrong or that the Bible was wrong. I want to look at that further in this article. To me the exclusion of God, the hostility of Christians to one another, the eminent opposition, the track record of the CDC and the medical fraternity, the lack of openness with information, the condemnation of front-line doctors and of course the similarities with the man of evil and the mark of the beast all gave this a distinct appearance of evil. If you see a drug lord selling candy would you buy some? The problem is that if people get away completely unscathed, what does that do to the minds of true Christians who approached it from the word of God? What does it do to the minds of detractors? What if it was really a warning that we should prepare ourselves for something worse coming soon?

There are now articles debunking Michael Yeadon the ex vice president at Pfizer Inc., e.g. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/health-coronavirus-vaccines-skeptic/ , the CDC is presenting reports of how well the mRNA vaccine alternatives are doing and so on and with the new delta variant the spectre of escalating deaths that was debunked concerning the original virus seems to have made a comeback. Instead of this acting as a catalyst to lead people to fear God is seems to have lead to complacency concerning his warnings in the Bible about how we need to live our lives. The attitude seems to be that we have science so we don't need God. Someone even told me that they can't see the evil. Just a quick reminder:

John 8:33-46 [KJV] They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?  34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.  35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.  36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.  37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.  38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.  39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.  40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.  41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.  42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.  43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.  44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.  45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.  46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

Notice verse 44. When people do things like this God says that they are of THEIR FATHER THE DEVIL. Is that you? They were rejecting the truth and attacking the character of someone who was trying to help them. In our current covid situation we know that it was covered up that it was an experiment. We know that there were lies about hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. There were lies about the true death rate. There were lies that it is safe. People's rights were trampled on and the aggressors were encouraged and supported by the state and I could go on. As far as murder is concerned, nobody, and especially those taking the jab, were told about the cytokine storms and furin and how to look after themselves after infection or taking the jab. Because of that they died. People who had an almost 100% likelihood of recovery from the virus were given the jab and died of things like myocarditis. Up to now some people are concealing that the jab has caused deaths. Now they want to do the same thing in little children. To cap it all off it looks very similar to the mark of the beast and that is evil. Still you are telling me that there is no appearance of evil. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.

They claim to KNOW

The Bible is pretty clear on how to know anything as far as God is concerned.

Genesis 22:1-12 [KJV] And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.  2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.  3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.  4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.  5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.  6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.  7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?  8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.  9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.  10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.  11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.  12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.

You can see how God knew. He conducted an experiment and only when the experiment was completed could He say that He knew. When the experiment is over you can cite the experiment to anyone as evidence of how you know. So we see that even God has to wait on the results of an experiment. Some people are better than God. They know things and have no evidence to support it. They cannot cite any experiment that proves it. From the time someone has an attitude that says I am better than God that should send off warning bells.

Following the Science

I think that when you know the Bible it is easy to see past the bigotry.

I John 2:9 [KJV] He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

I have had to update this article with this statement because a friend wanted to know why I am putting him through this complicated science. By implication and by their insistence people who have devised and people who push the protocol are making this claim: the Operation Warp Speed (OWS) shots are necessary and sufficient. For one thing I am trying to put the reader in a position to judge the truthfulness of that claim, because if it is true and He actually needs them, then what God made was not so wonderfully and fearfully made as He claims. The second reason is that it is the ONLY way to show that the body is wonderfully made is to go through the details of its operation and afterwards to show that God has provided a slew of safe resources to handle covid-19 or any other naturally occurring threat to His creation. It is hard, and I know because it was difficult for me to decipher too, but from what the Bible is saying there will be a time when Christians, even Christian family members, will be divided and there will be strong delusion. The people who are caught up in it will not be stupid or unfamiliar with the Bible. It will apparently come out of Europe where someone there will be so charismatic that the whole world will follow him into accepting the mark of the beast (I am NOT claiming that this is the mark of the beast). We are supposed to be able to give an answer for our faith. Our faith is what we believe and that answer cannot be because someone who should know told us so because this man from Europe will tell us so and he should know. We have to respect people and our God enough to be willing to actually seek to know for ourselves if their claims are true or not. Christians cannot rely on this world's experts for moral or spiritual guidance, only for explaining the background for their conclusions. What is the background and is it a sound and valid basis for the concomitant actions, bullying, threats, denial of service etc.? Is it too much trouble to check? The Bible warns us repeatedly not to assume that impressive people are right and simple people are not. If that was the case then the kingdom would be full of impressive people and the poor and simple would be left out. That is the reverse of what is true. What simple Christians have is the ability to discern spiritual weather. Are the skies red or not? So are the OWS shots necessary? Is it the only way to treat the virus? Is that statement true or is it a lie. Is it sufficient? Is it all that is required to treat the virus. Is that a lie or not? From what I have read and seen neither of those statements are true. It is not necessary. There are safer and all around better alternatives. It is not sufficient either. We started out with one shot, then came two and now a booster and there are still MANY breakthrough cases so there is no way that it could be sufficient. We were even given the impression that it would be 100% safe. Is that true or even close to true? Understanding the science puts the Christian in a stronger position to determine truth. Does their behaviour send off any warning signals? Are you following the command t eschew evil: I Peter 3:11-13 [KJV],  Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. [12] For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.  [13] And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? My objective is to show that God made this body wonderfully and that if it is treated with the things that He naturally provided it can more than weather this storm. God is the One to look to above all else.

I might need to present this hypothetical case in order to bring my point home. Suppose Mr. X or Mrs. Y is a single parent and has observed you as a Christian over the years. He/she is under pressure and suffering from information overload. He or she now contemplates that he/has has known you or me for some time as a Christian and a Christian would not claim to know if they had not actually scrutinised the evidence carefully. Mr. X or Mrs Y can therefore be sure that they are not putting their child at risk by following our recommendation. There are many positions that a Christian could take, e.g. he/she is afraid but has a feeling about it or he/she is close to someone and that person has recommended it and so on. On the other hand, if we go so far as to say that we know means that we actually know. That is to say we have looked at the empirical evidence carefully and it leads to only one conclusion. That is what knowing means. My point is that there is no such evidence and they are now experimenting on people to come up with it. Who is the truthful Christian? This brings me to a challenge that was made to me with regard to OWS. Where is your evidence? Bring me the evidence and we will discuss it. It had me for some time. Where is my evidence? Then it hit me. That is a fools errand. My whole point is that I have searched high and low and there is no evidence to support any position on the value of the OWS shots. The results on them keep changing every month. My position is that they are unproven and their safety is highly questionable. On the other hand they are things that are proven safe beyond a doubt and they are being sidelined without proper scientific research because of the same lack of evidence that OWS is thriving on. I have tried to present the evidence that I have found and it is up to the Christian to either put in the effort to examine it or hold no position i.e. say that he/she does not know. This article is not focussed on discussing death rate and such things as would be used to establish safety. That can be found in Pandemic - Conspiracy theories. This article is focussed on glorifying God for how wonderfully He has made us and cares for us.

Do the people pushing the jab adhere to psalm 139 that I mentioned above, or any other psalm? Does their world view conform to the political position or the Biblical position? If the doctors are culpable of putting the political above the Biblical would it be the first time? Science is just a tool that depends on our world view. The science that we bring to the table reflects the source of our world view because it excludes or includes evidence accordingly. Implicit in the approach that has been taken is that it is necessary and sufficient. In other words it will do all that is necessary on its own and it is the only alternative. From here on I intend to examine the wisdom of that approach. As far as necessary is concerned we are looking at safety as the priority followed by effectiveness.These are the two primary issues and then we can consider such things as cost effectiveness.

Before physical experiments are conducted mental experiments are done in a scientific approach. For mental experiments hypotheses are established based on the available evidence. What was the available evidence at the start of Operation Warp Speed and the inception of the covid-19 protocols? Was there any other hypothesis that would lead to a safe effective treatment? what I am given to understand is that the approach was scientific. In a scientific approach weights would have been given to the hypotheses in such a manner that if the selection was repeated it would produce the same results. From the approach that was taken there was nothing of value being done before Operation warp speed that was worthy of going to trials. None of what was being said about successes was even worthy of further consideration. In my opinion that does not appear to be an honest appraisal of the available information. I want what I say to be accurate and truthful. I am pro-choice. In other words I believe that all of the possibilities should have been provided and people should have been given a choice. What does that mean? By and large the options are to join a trial or not.

    If you join a trial there are :
  1. mRNA trials
  2. true vaccine trials
  3. trials with monoclonal antibodies
  4. trials with Ivermectin
    For the or not:
  1. Cuba has a vaccine that has passed the trials to my knowledge
  2. sequenced multi-drug therapy (Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine and several other drugs used in combination with zinc etc.)
  3. natural remedies

I believe that ALL of the above should be in a protocol so that persons can make the best choice for themselves. If you join a trial you should be fully informed of all the risks and what can be done to militate or mitigate the risks just as should be done by doctors conducting other interventions.

My position on the current protocol is that it is supporting lies and unnecessary death which is the same as murder. Most people, whichever side they take are poorly informed. I do not intend to go into the details of the Biblical view any more than I have previously summarised but I want to explore what is being brought to the table as science and the mindset that it reveals.

Truth, Lies and medicine

Is it possible to have a national program based on lies associated with the medical profession? Were the people who appraised the available options above reproach? When you make a claim it is up to you to provide the evidence. For covid-19 where are the mental experiments? Where are the laboratory experiments? Could very high level medical professionals initiate a program based on claims that are untrue?

During the 1990s family doctors were replaced by larger groups of salaried physicians, which lowered overhead costs for the Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) but made health care less personal. Despite these cost controls attempted by the HMOs, health costs and insurance premiums continued to rise. That corporate approach to the practise of medicine lead to the claim that doctors held back from providing necessary care while bureaucrats, insurance representatives and hospital compliance staff were haggling over who could do what based on contracts. This lead to preventable deaths in the hospital. It is also claimed that doctors assisted the insurance companies in keeping down the cost of medical care by putting off important tests until they were too late to save the patient, as would be the case with early diagnosis of cancer. The general claim is that doctors compromised the first do no harm to be in the good books of the insurance companies, while the patient suffered. The fundamental claim is that doctors let a corporate approach to medicine undermine their sworn duty to patients and thereby caused death and permanent injury.

Some recent lies connected with the medical profession and the CDC in particular:

  • 1932-1972 Tuskegee experiments
  • 1965-1966 Agent Orange experiments
  • 1960-1971 Radiation experiments on cancer patients
You can find more of these types of national abuses at the History Collection website, 16 of the Worst Experiments the Government Performed On Humans , by Trista - October 14, 2018 https://historycollection.com/16-of-the-worst-experiments-the-government-performed-on-humans/7/

Eminent opposition

Solomon gives us a Godly principle in 1 Kings 3:16-28 that has been reinforced time and again in history.  The one who is willing to suffer and sacrifice for their belief is right. The one who is ready to destroy for their belief is wrong. Solomon was faced with deciding between two women who both claimed that a child was theirs. He proposed a situation where the choice was to sacrifice by giving up the baby or to destroy the baby and solve the problem by violent oppression. Guess who the wisest man that ever lived chose. So what should we do when an eminent physician presents a view that opposes the system. Should we just disregard it?

Dr. Peter A McCullough Md. MPH. FACC. FAHA. FASN. FNKF. FNLA. FCRSA. has this to say about the current protocols:

  1. Asymptomatic spread has now been disproven. It is negligible. The virus cannot be spread in people who do not have symptoms (fever cough, nasal congestion). Even from before Jun 8, 2020 the WHO knew that it was unlikely https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/08/asymptomatic-coronavirus-patients-arent-spreading-new-infections-who-says.html.
  2. Asymptomatic testing should not be done
  3. People who have had covid-19 are immune
  4. COVID-19 is treatable (Gargle and use Povidone-iodine/Betadine as nose spray is very effective, more so that Sodium Hydroxide) twice/day and 4 times/day if infected or every 4 hours during the acute stage. Reduce viral load in the nose and mouth. It is not a hand infection so the focus on hand sanitizing is misguided.
  5. Vitamins and minerals make a great difference.

Since these are in direct opposition to the protocols connected with the medical profession one has to wonder.

What about the position of Dr. Simone Gold, MD - Founder of America's Frontline Doctors? She claims to have filed a preliminary injunction in Colorado in Federal district court to request the judge to deliver an order to halt mandatory inoculations based on the fact that the harm caused by the inoculations is greater than the risk of covid-19. She is also involved in fighting for a restraining order against inoculating children. You can take a look at the article at https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/exclusives/92807, Simone Gold's Group Sues to Stop COVID Shots for Kids — Founder of America's Frontline Doctors is awaiting trial for her role in Jan. 6 Capitol storming, by Kristina Fiore, Director of Enterprise & Investigative Reporting, MedPage Today May 26, 2021. Are these people just foolish and reckless? It is doctors like these that were out there on the front line risking their health to help people and sacrificing their spare time to develop remedies that worked long before any Operation Warp Speed. Now the other doctors that were cowering or just doing nothing are ready to destroy them professionally to preserve their status with the establishment. Who would Solomon chose?

What about other eminent opposition like that from senator Rand Paul? According to him, His speeches were censored by social media. He has pursued a line that those who have had covid-19 have better at least as good resistance to the virus than could be offered by any mRNA shot and hence should not be vaccinated. That is not towing the party line.

Following/Relying on the Doctors

There is no such position as that of the doctors. Some doctors are being dragged of their posts just like anybody else while some firmly support the establishment. When people claim that they are following the doctors in reality the evidence is that they are supporting the establishment. As I see it the claim is an excuse for not putting in the effort to go against the tide. Once again the Bible gives us the answer.

Acts 17:11-13 [KJV] These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.  12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.  13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.

These people were presented with novel information and they did not seek to follow the doctors. They went and checked out the information for themselves. As a result they found the truth. When the antagonists came and stirred up the people these Bereans were grounded by primary sources. Primary sources are the original documents of an event or discovery such as is obtained by research, experiments or surveys, interviews, letters, diaries, legal documents, and scientific journal articles. Primary sources are also records of events as they are first described. These are the kinds of sources that the Bereans sought. Do you think that it was easy? These people had no internet. They did not just listen to somebody and accept it.

What about Ivermectin

What about protocols that deny the safety of Ivermectin. Is that yet another lie? Why do we have these mRNA shots in the protocol and in Operation Warp Speed but no Ivermectin? This was among the early treatments used by physicians to control COVID-19 but it is now treated as a pariah.

A Japanese position

For all these years Ivermectin was the Wonder drug from Japan

A spanish position

A pharmaceutical position

Ivermectin is a medication used to treat many types of parasite infestations.[3] In humans, this includes head lice, scabies, river blindness (onchocerciasis), strongyloidiasis, trichuriasis, ascariasis, and lymphatic filariasis.[3][4][5][6] In veterinary medicine, it is used to prevent and treat heartworm and acariasis, among other indications.[5] It can be taken by mouth or applied to the skin for external infestations.[3][7]

Common side effects include fever, itching, and skin rash when taken by mouth,[3] and red eyes, dry skin, and burning skin when used topically for head lice.[8] It is unclear if it is safe for use during pregnancy, but is probably acceptable for use during breastfeeding.[9] It belongs to the avermectin family of medications.[3] It works through many mechanisms of action that result in death of the targeted parasites.[3]

Ivermectin was discovered in 1975 and came into medical use in 1981.[10][11] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[12] Ivermectin is FDA-approved as an antiparasitic agent.[13]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, misinformation was widely spread claiming that ivermectin was beneficial for treating and preventing COVID-19.[14] Such claims are not backed by sound evidence. . .

I find it interesting that Wikipedia KNOWS that Ivermectin is not beneficial. They claim that the evidence presented in its favour is not SOUND. When I looked at the references that were used to support this position I found that what they said that the available studies could neither confirm nor deny the value of Ivermectin against COVID-19. I did not notice any reference to unsound science. What I understand in general is that much of the data was collected from treating real patients. Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin are zinc ionophores i.e. they drive zinc into the cell. Zinc is the agent that acts against the virus and I have seen nobody refute that. But Ivermectin goes beyond that, it binds to SARS-CoV2 spike protein S (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32871846/), it reduces cell entry via human ACE2 receptor (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7652439/) and it is anti-inflammatory. It is interesting that wikipedia knows better than the US Federal Government. Go to https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/tables/table-2e/ and search for ivermectin and note what you see. It is a table with the caption Table 2e. Characteristics of Antiviral Agents That Are Approved or Under Evaluation for the Treatment of COVID-19 .

Ivermectin is a hotly disputed issue but The Ivermectin to Prevent Hospitalizations in COVID-19 (IVERCORCOVID19) trials https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/record/NCT04529525 found on the clinicaltrials.gov website have not yet produced their report.

The biggest problem with the COVID-19 situation is confidence. Whom do we trust? Who has been trustworthy? In the period of our darkness, when we were fighting to make a choice, whom did we resort to, God or man? What ever the truth turns out to be about the mRNA, the virus, Ivermectin or whatever else, did we put God first? Did we put our trust in Him or our politics for example?

Nature as the solution

Dr. Bryan Ardis is Chief Formulating Officer at 2010 Labs and has a doctorate in Chiropractic. He hosts The Dr. Ardis Show, https://rumble.com/c/c-1136221 and is well known on social media for his natural approach to dealing with COVID-19 but especially for his claim that COVID-19 is not killing millions of Americans, and that the deaths are actually being caused by the use of remdesivir to treat hospitalized patients. I cannot prove whether or not his claims are true but in my opinion the whole problem stems from a lack of openness about the data and statistics connected with COVID-19.

He was interviewed by the Resistance Chicks at Health and Freedom Conference, Tampa Florida in the Freedom Room. One of his claims is that the FDA knew the risks associated with the Operation Warp Speed shots beforehand.

According to him in October 22, 2020 (two months before the shots came out to the public) there was an internal document displaying what they expected were going to be the side effects from the shot, how they were going to be reported to the government and then how they were going to assess which injuries etc. were going to be correlated back to the shots.

It was a 25 slide presentation created by an internal division called CBER (the centre for Biologics experiment and research). When last I checked it could be downloaded from https://www.fda.gov/media/143557/download. Slide 16 shows the list of possible side effects. Number 1 on the list was Guillain Barre syndrome (modern day polio) it also includes demyelinating diseases in general (Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis etc.).

Based on that presentation they expected to see paralysis of nerves that control muscle function and coordination and insulation around the nerves being damaged. Dr. Ardis pointed out that the brain and spinal cord controls all nerves. There is a protective layer around this system called the blood-brain barrier. The PFIZER and Moderna shots contain polyethylene glycol 2000. It is suspected to puncture holes in the blood-brain barrier. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONFIRM OR DENY THESE CLAIMS!!!.

He also claims that Polysorbate 80 in Johnson and Johnson is also suspected to do the same and is considered to be hazardous. The claim about being hazardous is confirmed by https://thegoodhuman.com/what-is-polysorbate-80/ but I CAN NEITHER CONFIRM NOR DENY THE REST.

I have not been able to confirm the risks from these ingredients or their effect on the blood-brain barrier. I think that this situation should never have arisen because a conscientious approach to any experiment would have included being far more open about the active and inactive ingredients, especially to potential subjects, so that we could make objective choices.

With regard to those who have been so enthusiastic in claiming to debunk his claims in general I have been able to confirm these facts:

The Spike protein alone without any virus can damage organs.

From The Salk Institute's website, https://www.salk.edu/, April 30, 2021, The novel coronavirus spike protein plays additional key role in illness, https://www.salk.edu/news-release/the-novel-coronavirus-spike-protein-plays-additional-key-role-in-illness/ Salk researchers and collaborators show how the protein damages cells, confirming COVID-19 as a primarily vascular disease. Spike protein alone without any virus can damage organs.

1986 Ronald Regan signed a law giving drug companies immunity from prosecution over vaccines. The act was called National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986 and details can be found on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Childhood_Vaccine_Injury_Act

The shot produces multi-system (heart, liver, kidney etc.) inflammatory syndrome in children https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7768290/

Why do I not know how many people develop symptoms of diseases on the list produced by CBER within 12 hrs. to 10 days after taking the shot?

Dr. Ardis claims that In 2010 Harvard did a review of VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System) in the department of Health and Human Services which found that less than 1% of all vaccine injuries are reported hence the statistics are off by a factor of 100. While I could not source the Harvard paper I did find one by Vaccine Choice Wisconsin  https://www.vaccinechoicewi.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Vaccine-Adverse-Events-Reporting-System-%E2%80%93-VAERS.pdf which cited the same problem with references. I also found http://www.healthfreedomiowa.org/articles/fewer-than-1-of-vaccine-reactions-are-being-reported and https://www.talkingaboutthescience.com/harvard-studies-on-vaers/ indicating that it is a well known and accepted statistic.

Normally trials are shut down after 25 deaths. What is it that keeps this trial going when the death rate from the shots appear to rival the death rate from the disease? Who determines when a drug is safe, the FDA or the CDC? How can the CDC know that something is safe before the FDA? According to reuters https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-coronavirus-usa-idUSL1N2R00KP,  speaking of the FDA Of more than 390 million doses of COVID-19 shots administered in the U.S. up to Sept. 27, VAERS received 8,164 reports of death (0.0021%) among people who were vaccinated. If we use the 1% rule this is actually 0.21% which would make it rival the death rate. In addition are those 8,164 deaths important or not? Who gave you the right to decide who is to die and who is to live? Whose life is to be considered as important and whose is to be a statistic? Who gave you the right to demand that someone else who faces no inherent risk, sacrifices their life in order to preserve yours?

An aerobic organism is an organism that can survive and grow in an oxygenated environment. It contrast with an anaerobic organism which is any organism that does not require oxygen for growth. Oxidative stress is a phenomenon caused by an imbalance between production and accumulation of oxygen reactive species/reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells and tissues, and our ability to remove these toxins from our system. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is an umbrella term for many by-products of the reactions with oxygen that occur as a normal in aerobic life. In everyday life we hear of Antioxidants. These are substances that can prevent or slow damage to cells caused by free radicals, unstable molecules like those of ROS, that the body produces. There is a view that all diseases start with oxidative stress and evidence for that is very strong considering, for example, the list that is on this site https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/324863. Cells naturally produce antioxidants such as glutathione. Dr. Ardis spoke of three things to protect the cell from oxidative stress from viruses and they are dose specific.

vitamin c

Normal recommended intake of vitamin c (also known as L-ascorbic acid) has been around 100 mg per day but Dr. Ardis recommends vitamin c at 10,000 mg per day. He claims that they used 35,000 mg intravenously in China to cure people of covid in three days. There is no known toxic level of vitamin c. When you consume vitamin c the immune system in the gut will absorb what it needs to protect the whole of the body and the rest comes out as diarrhoea. It is known as bowel tolerance. You can start at 5,000 and go up by 1,000 every week. If you hit bowel tolerance go back to the previous level for another week. If you repeatedly get bowel tolerance then stop.

For a more traditional use of vitamin c and its common sources you can peruse the comprehensive article at the NIH website, Vitamin C Fact Sheet for Health Professionals, https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminC-HealthProfessional/

Magnesium

Some people believe that every human disease process in the world is contributed to by magnesium deficiency. That is because magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is involved in hundreds of  biochemical reactions. It is everywhere, it aids in normal functioning of nerves and muscles, helps the heart to maintain its rhythm, strengthens the bones and supports the immune system as well as other things like blood sugar levels and blood pressure levels. Only 1% of the magnesium in you body is found in blood but the body works hard to maintain that level. Most (approximately 50%) of the magnesium is found in bone and the remainder is in the cells and tissues. Magnesium deficiency is a menace as can be seen by DiNicolantonio, James J et al. Subclinical magnesium deficiency: a principal driver of cardiovascular disease and a public health crisis. Open heart vol. 5,1 e000668. 13 Jan. 2018, doi:10.1136/openhrt-2017-000668, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5786912/.

The chronic problem with magnesium is man made. It comes from or modern agricultural practices like mono-cropping and the use of chemical fertilizers. These deplete the soil. The other source of magnesium is water but the water gets its magnesium from the soil which is depleted, and the remainder is filtered out by the water filters and purifiers that we use. These provide water free of contaminants which means everything is removed, including minerals like magnesium but in many cases the water has to be filtered because the contaminants, like the added Chlorine, can be hazardous.

Abstract: Although magnesium (Mg) is one of the most important nutrients, involved in many enzyme activities and the structural stabilization of tissues, its importance as a macronutrient ion has been overlooked in recent decades by botanists and agriculturists, who did not regard Mg deficiency (MGD) in plants as a severe health problem. However, recent studies have shown, surprisingly, that Mg contents in historical cereal seeds have markedly declined over time, and two thirds of people surveyed in developed countries received less than their minimum daily Mg requirement. Thus, the mechanisms of response to MGD and ways to increase Mg contents in plants are two urgent practical problems. In this review, we discuss several aspects of MGD in plants, including phenotypic and physiological changes, cell Mg2+ homeostasis control by Mg2+ transporters, MGD signaling, interactions between Mg2+ and other ions, and roles of Mg2+ in plant secondary metabolism. Our aim is to improve understanding of the influence of MGD on plant growth and development and to advance crop breeding for Mg enrichment.

Selenium helps fight almost everything: HIV/AIDS, Ebola, Cancer etc.

The importance of selenium in thwarting viral infections is illustrated by the observation that a number of deadly viruses, such as HIV and Ebola, have devastated regions in Africa such as Zaire, which appear to be selenium-deficient. On the other hand, in Senegal, HIV is spreading very slowly, if at all. The soil in Senegal happens to be rich in selenium. . .

Selenium regulates thyroid hormones and works together with vitamin E to reduce free radicals generated in the cell. Selenium, similar to vitamin E, helps in cellular functions by protecting cell membranes, proteins, and DNA from oxidation consequently keeping inflammation in check. The inflammatory response (inflammation) occurs when tissues are injured. The damaged cells release chemicals like histamine, bradykinin, and prostaglandins. These chemicals cause blood vessels to leak fluid into the tissues, causing swelling. The body’s natural immune response may trigger oxidative stress temporarily but this type of oxidative stress only causes mild inflammation that goes away after the body fights off the infection or repairs an injury. When oxidative stress is out of control it can also trigger the inflammatory response, which, in turn, produces more free radicals that can lead to further oxidative stress, creating a cycle.

The thyroid

The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate the body's metabolic rate controlling heart, muscle and digestive function, brain development and bone maintenance. Its correct functioning depends on a good supply of iodine from the diet but Selenium regulates thyroid hormones.

A major effect of thyroid hormone excess is uncoupling of the resorption and formation phases of the bone remodelling cycle, resulting in a net loss of bone and osteoporosis. There are five phases in the bone remodelling process: ACTIVATION, RESORPTION, REVERSAL, FORMATION, and QUIESCENCE. The total process takes about 4 to 8 months and the reversal phase couples resorption to formation so that they balance. Thyroid hormones directly stimulate bone marrow production of red blood cells and also white blood cells.

Bone marrow

Bone marrow makes white blood cells. Hormones from the Thyroid regulate activity in the bone narrow and Selenium regulates thyroid activity.

Developing T cells migrate from the bone marrow to the Thymus gland to mature. Your Thymus gland tells the white blood cells to differentiate into cancer killing cells, virus killing cells, bacteria killing cells etc. White blood cells are called lymphocytes. The ones that mature in the Thymus are called T-lymphocytes (or T-cells) and the 'T' stands for Thymus. There are also B-lymphocytes. Most of us assume that B lymphocytes, or B cells, got their name because they mature in the bone marrow: B for bone marrow, however, this is not really the case. The B in B cells comes from the Bursa of Fabricius (BF) in birds. In the 1950s and 60s Bruce Glick at Ohio State University was studying the function of the BF and removed it from chickens. Another student there named Timothy Chang was looking for some chickens to immunize in order to produce antibodies. He used some of Glick's chickens and they all died leading to the discovery of the function of the BF.

The liver

The liver's job is to detox the body. Everything you digest is processed and detoxified through the liver. It also makes proteins, produces bile, and stores a reserve of blood sugar. Only trace amounts of Selenium are needed by the liver health. The most common food source for selenium is Brazil nuts. Your liver has the wonderful ability to regenerate and selenium helps this process by reducing oxidative stress, thereby allowing the liver time to repair itself. For more on this subject consider reading Liver Health and Selenium: Why It Is an Essential Element for Livers, https://1md.org/health-guide/digestive/ingredients/selenium.

Glutathione

Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide composed of glycine, cysteine, and glutamic acid. It is found in most of the tissues but in especially high concentrations in the liver. Glutathione is manufactured in the liver and plays an extremely important role in protecting cells against toxic injury. Cell death in the liver may be exacerbated by a deficiency in antioxidants, including glutathione. Check out the benefits of glutathione at the healthline.com website, Glutathione Benefits, https://www.healthline.com/health/glutathione-benefits.

The point here is that the liver needs selenium and the liver is what detoxifies our bodies. Glutathione is produced in the liver and that is critical in protecting cells against toxic injury as would be the case with the spike protein.

Some more on the importance of selenium in found in the next two references along with how it is declining in our diet.

The body has been designed with the ability to defend and heal itself once given the right nutrients. It does not need foreign and poorly understood particles to function correctly. The processes in the body are complex and interrelated therefore introducing active particles without a through understanding of their interactions is hazardous.

On the other hand all of the minerals are in the soil. The plants extract the minerals from the soil to make vitamins. Consuming plants releases the vitamins into our bodies. Given the necessary vitamins and minerals the body knows how to fix itself once hazardous things are removed.

There are much safer ways to deal with covid-19 than introducing experimental substances to the body.

The molecular science behind covid-19

For this section I must emphasize that I am writing as a layman and what I say is therefore subject to correction. I am presenting my understanding of the science but not on a professional basis. It is simply my understanding.

WHAT IS DNA

DNA is Deoxyribonucleic acid.

┳┳┳┳┳┳┳┳┳┳┳┳┳┳┳┳┳┳┳┳
┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻

RNA is Ribonucleic acid.

┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻

This YouTube video can help clarify the difference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L156Sbjs7zU

RNA and DNA are variants of the same 5 carbon sugar. In both chemicals the five carbons are arranged to look like a b and are joined to form long strands. DNA is double stranded while RNA exists as a single strand. The strands that join together to form DNA lie parallel but are inverted (antiparallel) compared to each other so that the sugars line up like bq.  The molecular arrangement of the five carbons in these sugars is the same for both RNA and DNA. The 5th carbon (5 prime or 5') is at the tip of the stroke of the b and the 3rd (3 prime or 3') is at the bottom of the stroke hence 5 prime and 3 prime ends.

5│
4├─┐1
3└─┘2

Synthesis (adding on) always happens going in the direction from 5 to 3, that is 5' to 3' or going in the direction starting from the top of the stroke and going to the bottom. DNA synthesis occurs when a cell replicates or divides. The DNA double helix is unwound and the strands separated. Each strand is use to produce a complementary DNA strand, using the parent DNA chain as a template. Typically RNA comes from DNA and is generated by exposing a section of DNA and using one strand as a template to create RNA. One strand of DNA looks looks exactly like RNA does, something like this ┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻. It is like a ladder cut down the middle. The rungs of the ladder represent the bases. The backbone is made of the sugar (the part that looks like the b) and the peptide which I will represent as a straight rod |. The peptides join one b to the other b. Something like:



b -[the base]
|
b -[the base]
|
b -[the base]
|
b -[the base]


The | is the peptide and the b the sugar. If the one above was the strand that is used to synthesize another strand, the new strand would grow downwards by attaching new pieces on the existing strand.

Nucleobases a.k.a nitrogenous bases or just bases [cytosine, guanine, adenine (found in both DNA and RNA), thymine (found only in DNA), and uracil (found only in RNA)], depicted here as [the base] when combined with the sugar in DNA or RNA depicted here as b or q form nucleosides (adenosine, guanosine, cytidine, thymidine, uridine, and inosine), which, in turn are combined with peptides, depicted here as | to form nucleotides. There are a total of 5 nucleobases in DNA and RNA. These are cytosine, guanine, adenine (found in both DNA and RNA), thymine (found only in DNA), and uracil (found only in RNA).

In DNA it would be like:




b -[the base]-[the base]- q

b -[the base]-[the base]- q
|

b -[the base]-[the base]- q

b -[the base]-[the base]- q



What is a sugar and what is Ribose

Sugar is the generic name for sweet-tasting, soluble carbohydrates. In carbohydrate the carbo comes from Carbon and the hydrate comes from water, which is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio (H2-O) i.e. two parts Hydrogen and one part Oxygen. The hydrate does not necessarily have water but is built from multiples of Hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio found in water. Table sugar or regular sugar is sucrose. It is a disaccharide (two simple sugars) composed of the simple sugars glucose and fructose. Simple sugars, also called monosaccharides, include glucose (blood sugar) and fructose (fruit sugar). Compound sugars, disaccharides or double sugars, are molecules composed of two monosaccharides. Common examples are sucrose or table sugar (glucose + fructose), lactose or milk sugar (glucose + galactose), and maltose (two molecules of glucose).

Glucose is a simple sugar with the molecular formula C6-H12-O6, which is identical to the chemical formula of fructose, again C6-H12-O6 but the molecules are arranged differently. In combination they produce table sugar, the disaccharide sucrose, which maintains the same chemical formula c6-H12-O6.

Ribose is a simple sugar with molecular formula C5-H10-O5, hence smaller than the food sugars just mentioned. Deoxyribose, as its name indicates, is a deoxy sugar, meaning that it is derived from the sugar ribose by its loss of an oxygen atom. It goes from C5-H10-O5 (Ribose) to C5-H10-O4 (Deoxyribose). DNA (containing Deoxyribose) is a more stable molecule than RNA, hence the body was designed to used that form for keeping genetic information. RNA (containing ribose) is more reactive than DNA and is unstable in alkaline conditions. The body knows to change the sugar from Ribose to Deoxyribose and back according to the requirements of the situation.

what is an acid

It is more difficult to describe an acid than a sugar because an acid is defined by how it reacts with other materials. Perhaps it is easier to compare acids, bases and salts. An acid provides hydrogen ions (+H) to react with materials. Ions are particles with a net charge, +ve or -ve. Hydrogen ions are positively charged. A base takes hydrogen ions from materials. This is because it has a concentration of negatively charged hydroxide ions (-OH). You can see from this example that if the -OH took another H it would become the stable compound H2-O which is water. Hydroxide means a compound of Hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). A base is any substance that reacts with an acid to form a salt and water only. Bases that are soluble in water are called alkalis. Salts are electrically neutral (without a net charge).

Why is DNA called an acid?

To answer this in a way that it can be referred back to scientific authoritative resources I have to provide several other definitions.

Why is DNA called a nucleic acid when it is based on a sugar (Deoxyribose), phosphate group, and also has a basic component (nitrogenous bases)? DNA is formed in links with a phosphate group. The phosphate group is attached to the 5' carbon of one nucleotide and the 3' carbon of the next nucleotide. So a phosphate group can attach to either end, top or bottom, of the b that I pictured the sugar as earlier. The phosphate group is actually made up of one to three phosphates. The phosphate group has a negative charge and is exposed to the outside environment to make connections between nucleotides. It is because of the significance of the phosphate group that DNA and RNA are called acids.

To illustrate a nucleotide based on the representations that I have used before it would be:

|
b -[the base]

It is the name for the building blocks that form the DNA or RNA and is comprised of a phosphate group, a sugar and a base.

A phosphate group , which I depicted as a |, is just a phosphorus atom bound to four oxygen atoms i.e. P-O4. In DNA it is acidic.

A peptide bond is created when one molecule's carboxyl group interacts with another molecule's amino group, releasing a water molecule (H2-O). The resulting bond of CO-NH is a peptide bond. From the time we begin talking of carbon we must be talking about the sugar. The amino refers to the nitrogenous base so this is the sugar-base connection.

Amino means made from nitrogen(N) and hydrogen(H) in the chemical structure N-H2. An amino group consists of a nitrogen atom and two hydrogen atoms. It is clear that this must me talking about the nitrogenous bases which I depicted as the base.

A carboxyl group is defined as having a carbonyl and hydroxyl group both linked to a carbon atom. A carbonyl group is a carbon double-bonded to an oxygen (like C-O2, carbon dioxide), and a hydroxyl group is an OH group, Hydrogen(H) and oxygen(O).

In summary the phosphate bond links the nucleotides in the same strand and is why DNA (or RNA too) is called an acid. The peptide bond is internal to the nucleotide linking the sugar to a base. The hydrogen bond links one side of the ladder to the other in DNA by connecting the base pairs.

Wikipedia says Deoxyribonucleic acid is a molecule composed of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix carrying genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth and reproduction of all known organisms and many viruses. DNA and ribonucleic acid are nucleic acids. I explain nucleotide later.

A helix is a shape like a corkscrew or spiral staircase or a spring.

DNA is a long molecule that contains our unique genetic code. It is like a recipe book that holds the instructions for making all the proteins in our bodies.

Your genome is the complete set of genes or genetic material present in your cells. This set of genes exist as the chemical DNA.

DNA contains four basic building blocks or nucleotides formed from four nucleobases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T).

The order in which they are arranged in the DNA strand determines the instructions contained in the genome.

DNA is a two-stranded molecule but both strands actually contain the same genetic information since one strand is the complement of the other.

DNA has a double helix shape, like a twisted ladder or a ladder twisted like a corkscrew.

Each strand is composed of long sequences formed by a backbone of the Deoxiribose sugar linked by peptides and crosslinked by the four bases, A, C, G and T.

Each base on one strand of the DNA molecule pairs together with a COMPLEMENTARY base on the opposite strand of DNA to form the rungs of the DNA ladder.

The bases always pair together in the same way, A with T, C with G.

Each base pair is joined together by hydrogen bonds.

For any DNA molecule the 5' end of one strand is attached to the 3' end of the other strand, in other words head to tail of each other. They are called the sense strand and the antisense strand (to be explained later). Synthesis requires a template and always reads from 5' to 3' i.e. it starts at the 5' end of the template and proceeds towards the 3' end. The template is the original sense or antisense strand. Synthesis does not produce a duplicate but a complement.

Remember that the (+) means positive change and the (-) means negative charge. Thinking magnetically you would expect that since a base has (OH-) it would repel another base (OH-) instead of forming a hydrogen bond. The nucleotides in a base pair are complementary which means their shape allows them to bond together with hydrogen bonds. Actually the reactions (or bondings) between two bases or acids do not normally occur, because, according to the Lewis theory, bases are electron (-) donors and acids are proton (+) donors. However the bases in DNA can react by rearranging the ions (the +ve and -ve charged components) so that the positive and negative charges alternate and balance one another making the overall charge net zero instead of the net (-ve) as is normal for bases. For more detailed explanations of what happens with DNA you can start with the website The School of Biomedical Science website's webpage DNA Structure, https://teaching.ncl.ac.uk/bms/wiki/index.php/DNA_Structure.

The strands are separated during DNA replication into a sense strand (a.k.a coding strand, or informational strand) and an antisense strand (or template strand) which is the strand actually used when constructing the messenger RNA (mRNA).

This double helix structure was first discovered by Francis Crick and James Watson with the help of Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. The human genome is made of 3.2 billion bases of DNA but other organisms have different genome sizes.

WHAT IS mRNA?

Sections of the DNA code are converted into shortened messages that are instructions for making proteins. These messages (the messenger RNA or mRNA) are transported out of the nucleus to the main part of the cell (the Cytoplasm). In the cytoplasm they encounter the protein factories in the cell called ribosomes. Cells have many ribosomes, and the exact number depends on how active that cell is in synthesizing proteins. Rapidly growing cells usually have a large number of ribosomes. The mRNA is instructions for the ribosome to produce a specific protein so mRNA is not necessarily the whole RNA but a snippet that is used to send a message to the ribosome to produce that protein.

The antisense strand of DNA is complementary to the sense strand. That means that they fit like pieces of a puzzle, if one is the hot-dog the other is the bun, if you have one you can deduce the other. The antisense strand is the template for mRNA synthesis i.e. the mRNA will be made by using that strand to figure out what to construct. Since what is constructed is always the complement of what is on the strand the mRNA will be the complement of the antisense strand which is the sense strand. When the protein is constructed it will be the complement of what is on the mRNA. The complement of the complement brings you back to the original. You can only read the information in one direction (5' to 3') whether it is the sense or antisense strand.

There is a second aspect of antisense, which is a fairly new discovery, called antisense RNA. These are RNAs that read in the opposite direction of the coding strand (from 3' to 5'), and they actually bind to the coding strand of mRNAs and either target them for destruction or prevent them from being expressed. SO IN THEORY A ROGUE RNA CAN BE GENERATED THAT SUPPRESSES OR DESTROYS A GENE COMPLETELY.

NUCLEOTIDES

Nucleotides in DNA are the blocks from which it is built. Each nucleotide has a sugar component and a peptide component that forms the backbone, and one of four possible nucleobases as was mentioned before. A nucleotide is an organic molecule that is the building block of DNA and RNA.

In general organic means relating to or derived from living matter. In chemistry a chemical is classified as organic if it contains at least one carbon atom, regardless of its source. The source of the carbon in DNA or RNA is the sugar. Cells contain free nucleotides floating around that can be used to produce DNA or RNA.

PROTEINS

Proteins are complex molecules that do just about everything to be done in the body. All of the following are proteins:

  1. Antibodies bind to specific foreign particles, such as viruses and bacteria, to eliminate them.
  2. Enzymes are responsible for the chemical reactions that take place in cells. They also assist with the formation of new molecules by reading the genetic information stored in DNA.
  3. Messenger proteins transmit signals to coordinate activity between different cells, tissues, and organs.
  4. Structural proteins provide structure and support for cells enabling the body to maintain form and move.
  5. Transport/storage proteins bind and carry atoms and small molecules within cells and throughout the body.

AMINO ACIDS

Proteins are made up of hundreds or sometimes thousands of smaller units called amino acids joined together in long chains. There are 20 different types of amino acids that can be combined to make a protein. The sequence of amino acids determines each protein's unique 3-dimensional structure and its specific function. Amino acids are coded by sequences of three DNA building blocks (nucleotides) from the four possible ones available. By coding I mean that if the amino acid is considered to be a word, then each word has three letters and each letter would be a nucleotide. The order of the words would make up a sentence or instruction.

What is tRNA

Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) is a type of RNA molecule that helps decode a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence into a protein. It is the tRNA that brings the amino acids to the ribosome to build what is specified in the mRNA. When a tRNA recognizes and binds to its corresponding codon in the ribosome, the tRNA transfers the appropriate amino acid to the end of the growing amino acid chain. A codon is a sequence of three nucleotides which together form a unit of genetic code in a DNA or RNA molecule. There are actually a bunch of tRNAs. All tRNAs have two functions: (1) to be chemically associated with a particular amino acid and (2) to base-pair with a codon in mRNA so that it can add its amino acid to the growing peptide chain. To further explain I will oversimplify the tRNA as a U. At the pincer end of the U the tRNA holds the specific amino acid that it is associated with. On the outside of the basin end, or trough end, it has an anticodon. An anticodon is a code complementary to that of a corresponding codon. The codon will be on the mRNA. The tRNA attaches to the codon on the mRNA with its anticodon extending from its base or trough end. When it meets side by side with an adjacent tRNA it joins its amino acid to that of the tRNA next to it. The previous tRNA would formerly have been at the end of the chain being built by the mRNA so the new tRNA would have extended the existing amino acid chain by attaching its amino acid (represented by ⧃⧃). The ribosome actually processes three tRNA at at time but at different stages. The one holding the end of the peptide chain is in the middle. The one that just gave up its amino acid is next to it on the same side as the peptide chain and is being ejected. The one bringing a new amino acid is on the other side of it being attached. That is repeated until it reaches the end of the mRNA.

Cell Signalling

As we go through this article the importance of understanding what is meant by things like enzymes is going to become evident. Enzymes are a part of cell signalling. cell signalling (cell signalling in British English) or cell communication is the ability of a cell to receive, process, and transmit signals with its environment and with itself. Examples of where you can discover more about this topic are  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2967365/  and https://www.khanacademy.org/science/ap-biology/cell-communication-and-cell-cycle/cell-communication/a/introduction-to-cell-signaling

Cells typically communicate by releasing proteins or other molecules which they produce into the extracellular space where they drift around until they reach a target cell. The secretion (the chemical that they release) is called a ligand. Not all cells can decode the ligand. The target cell has a receptor, the name given to cell's proteins that can bind the to the ligand and trigger a signalling cascade inside the cell, leading to a response. Nontarget cells do not have a correct receptor for that particular ligand.

When a ligand binds to its receptor, it alters the shape or behaviour of the receptor, causing a cascade of actions leading to the response. The message carried by a ligand is often relayed through a chain of chemical messengers inside the cell. Thus, the original intercellular (between-cells) signal is converted into an intracellular (within-cell) signal leading to cell division or some other activity. There are four basic classes of signalling: paracrine signalling, autocrine signalling, endocrine signalling, and signalling by direct contact. The main difference is the distance that signal has to travel to achieve its objective.

Paracrine signalling.
The suffix -crine means to secrete. the prefix para- can have many meanings including: alongside of, beside, near etc. and it is used in this sense here because it is talking about signalling to adjacent cells. Paracrine signalling allows cells to locally coordinate activities with their neighbours. Paracrine signals are especially important during development so that one cell knows to develop into the spinal cord and another the heart or lungs.

Synaptic signalling.
The synapse is a small pocket of space between two cells across which they can pass messages to communicate. A neuron is a nerve cell. A single neuron may contain thousands of synapses. Synaptic signalling is a special type of paracrine signalling where the signal is passed across the synapse, the junction between two nerve cells. When the sending neuron fires, an electrical impulse shoots through the cell, travelling down a long, fibre-like extension called an axon. At the end of the line it triggers the release of ligands called neurotransmitters, which quickly traverse the space across the synapse. On the other side they bind to receptors on the receiving cell (which could be a muscle cell several neurons away from the original impulse) and cause a chemical change inside of the cell.

Autocrine signalling.
The prefix -auto mostly means means self, but also same, and spontaneous. In autocrine signalling, a cell signals to itself, releasing a ligand that binds to receptors on its own surface or to receptors inside of the cell itself. 

Endocrine signalling.
 Endo is a prefix from Greek endon meaning within, inner, absorbing, or containing. That is not much help but the endocrine system is made up of all the body's different hormones so it is all-containing. When cells need to transmit signals over long distances, they often employ the circulatory system as a distribution network. Ligands are released into the bloodstream, which carries them to target cells in other parts of the body. These ligands that travel from one part of the body to another are known as hormones. A pheromone is a chemical travels even further. It is produced in one animal elicits change a behaviour in another animal of the same species. In humans, endocrine glands that release hormones include the thyroid and the hypothalamus. Each endocrine gland releases one or more types of hormones, many of which are master regulators for the body.

Signalling through cell-cell contact.
Gap junctions in animals are tiny channels that directly connect adjacent cells. These water-filled channels are like canals between cells that allow small signalling molecules, called intracellular mediators, to travel between the two cells. Small molecules and ions are able to move between cells, but large molecules like proteins and DNA cannot fit through the channels without special assistance. The exchange of signalling molecules transmits the current state of each cell to its neighbour. This allows a group of cells to coordinate their response to a signal that only one of them may have received. So you see that altering one cell (e.g. by modifications through RNA) does not necessarily affect just that cell.

CELLS -> CHROMOSOMES -> DNA -> GENES -> TRAITS

genes

A gene is a section of DNA that codes for a trait. It is the basic unit of heredity and is always in the same location on a chromosome. A locus is the specific physical location of a gene or other DNA sequence on a chromosome. It is like a genetic street address. A trait is a distinguishing quality or characteristic, typically one belonging to a person. The genome is like a long article describing the traits of an individual. It is broken into words, three bases/building blocks taken together, and is only read in one direction.

Transcription is the process by which information in a strand of DNA is copied into a new molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). Transcription is DNA to mRNA and translation is mRNA to protein. Each cell turns on only a fraction of its genes at a time. The rest of the genes are repressed, or turned off. Genes are turned on and off in different patterns during development to make a brain cell look and act different from a nerve cell or a muscle cell. Gene regulation (turning on and off genes) also allows cells to quickly respond to changes in their environments. Gene regulation is a complex process not yet fully understood but we do know that when a gene is switched on an enzyme called polymerase attaches to the start (5' end) of the gene. It moves along the gene splitting the DNA into its two strands and making a new strand called messenger RNA (mRNA). It does this by attaching free bases in the form of nucleotides to the exposed bases in one strand (the antisense strand) of the DNA. This process is called transcription. So the gene is turned on when mRNA is made from it and the mRNA causes the corresponding proteins to be made. I found the following video on YouTube to be beneficial https://youtu.be/gG7uCskUOrA. The free nucleotides come from the cytoplasm where older mRNA has been recycled by exonucleases which are enzymes that cleave off nucleotides one at a time. Nucleotides are also obtained in the diet as well as synthesized from common nutrients by the liver. Grains, meats, fish, nuts, legumes, fruits and vegetables, fruit juices and milk are sources of nucleotides.

Every tissue of every creature is made of cells. Most cells have a nucleus. The nucleus contains the genome. In humans the genome is split between 23 pairs of chromasomes. One pair of chromosomes, X and Y, determine sex; the other 22 pairs are called autosomes. So, the human genome is made up of a set of very long DNA molecules, one corresponding to each chromosome. There are sections in the DNA called genes. When a gene is switched on it begins to produce mRNA. The mRNA is what goes on to be used as a template to produce the proteins for the traits. Before it can go out of the nucleus it is further processed by adding and removing sections of RNA (nobody knows precisely why). It then leaves the nucleus and goes into the Cytoplasm (everything in the cell except the nucleus). Ribosomes (little factories in the Cytoplasm) bind to the mRNA to produce the corresponding proteins from amino acids. Transfer RNA (tRNA) are molecules which transport amino acids from the cytoplasm of a cell to a ribosome. The single stranded mRNA looks like this ┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻ and is read three bases at a time, then the tRNA supplies the corresponding amino acid. Remember that there are four possible nucleotides/bases and the order is important so we have 4x4x4=64 permutations but there are only 20 - 22 different amino acids produced. As the amino acids are supplied they are joined by the ribosome to produce a long chain that becomes the protein.

Question: When you mess with this process and produce some unknown amino acid or some rogue mRNA, what happens then?

TRANSLATION

The order of these bases (building blocks) determine the genetic blueprint, similar to the way the order of letters in the alphabet are used to form words. DNA's words are three letters (or bases) long, and these words, in the language of the cell, is the blueprint for proteins to be manufactured. The three bases together are called a codon. To read these blueprints, the double-helical DNA is first unzipped to expose the individual strands and the mRNA is created by transcription.

The next step is translation. Translation employs tRNA. The ribosome assembles a protein in three steps. During initiation, the first step, transfer RNA (tRNA) brings the specific amino acid designated by the three-letter code to the ribosome holding the mRNA. In the second step, elongation, each amino acid is sequentially connected to a backbone of peptide bonds by joining to the chain with its own peptide, forming a polypeptide chain. The order of each amino acid is crucial to the functionality of the future protein; errors in adding an amino acid can result in disease. Finally, during termination, the completed polypeptide chain is released from the ribosome and is folded into its final protein state. This process is enabled by the function of tRNA which was explained some paragraphs above.

CODING AND NON-CODING DNA

Transcription is step 1 in creating the new protein and the next step is translation. Coding DNA is both transcripted and translated. The rest is called Non-coding DNA. Some parts of DNA, e.g. structural DNA (for the structure of the chromosome not the same as structural proteins) are not even transcribed to the RNA to produce a pre-mRNA transcript. Other parts of the pre-mRNA transcript are removed before translation so the final mRNA does not carry all of the original gene. SCIENTISTS DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE ROLE OF A LOT OF THE NON-CODING DNA IS !!!

WHAT IS CRISPR

CRISPR was discovered in December 1987 but the term CRISPR-Cas9 was published for first time in March 2002. CRISPR (pronounced crisper) stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, which are the key characteristic of a bacterial defence system from which we get the CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing technology.

CRISPR is a tool for finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell, and after finding it, CRISPR gene editing can be used to alter that piece of DNA. It also has other applications but basically it is gene altering technology.

Gene altering was done before CRISPR was unveiled in 2012, but it took years and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. CRISPR is important because it allows scientists to rewrite the genetic code in almost any organism. It is simpler, cheaper, and more precise than previous gene editing techniques.

CRISPR technology also has the potential to transform medicine by opening up new affordable ways to not only treat, but also prevent many diseases. It is expected to be the means to cure genetic disease and creating drought-resistant crops. But for all of the good potential it can also be abused. People already use it to change the genomes of their children which has been condemned by some as premature and unethical.

CRISPR is being used for all kinds of other purposes too. Some that are being highlighted during this covid-19 outbreak is fingerprinting cells and logging what happens inside them. Another technology greatly enhanced by CRISPR is gene drives. A gene drive is a tool that forces or drives certain genes to be in a species' population. Gene drives do this by greatly increasing the chance the gene in question is passed on to an organism's offspring. Gene drives cause the associated trait to spread through a species' population. The concept of using gene drives to genetically control the spread of pests was originally developed in the 1960s.

The key to CRISPR is the many varieties of Cas (CRISPR-associated) proteins found in bacteria. In bacteria their job is to help defend against viruses. The Cas9 protein is the one most widely used by scientists. This protein can easily be programmed to find and bind to almost any desired target sequence, simply by giving it a piece of RNA to to determine when it has a match.

CRISPR-associated (cas)

Cas is short for CRISPR-associated. Cas9 (or CRISPR-associated protein 9) is an enzyme which cuts RNA at a specific point, guided by CRISPR sequences which it uses to recognize and bind to target strands of DNA.

CRISPR-Cas9, or just simply Cas9, was adapted from something that occurred naturally in bacteria. In nature the bacteria capture snippets of DNA from invading viruses and use them to create RNA segments known as Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) arrays. In the original bacteria system, the CRISPR arrays consists of repeated strips of the same base sequence, interspaced with snippets from known viruses. This allows the bacteria to remember the viruses (or closely related ones). If the viruses attack again, the bacteria produce CRISPR RNA (crRNA) which are RNA sequences from the CRISPR arrays, to target the viruses' DNA. The bacteria then uses the Cas9 protein to cut the virus DNA apart, which disables the virus. You will come across the term Protospacer Adjacent Motif (PAM). The PAM is small, around 2 to 6 base pairs that primarily occurs in the virus but not in the bacteria.I have depicted it in red ┻┻┻ so the cRNA would look like this ┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻┻. In the bacteria the proteins that select the spacer always look for a PAM in the target and removes the sequence next to it. This sequence is what is stored as the snippet to remember. The target sequence is therefore something that would naturally follow a PAM. Different Cas9s have different PAMs. A PAM acts as a binding signal to the Cas9 and duals as a marker for it to cut the target strand of DNA. As a binding signal it tells the proteins that the target is not the bacteria because the bacteria does not have that code in its DNA. As a marker, the Cas9 always cuts the DNA in the region where the match is found and It is always at the same spot, within a few base pairs of the PAM. CRISPR-Cas9 mechanisms recognize DNA targets that are complementary to a short crRNA sequence. In using CRISPR sequences to cut human DNA the scientist first look for a PAM that exists in humans and then design the RNA that follows it. The most frequently used and officially accepted PAM used is NGG. This is the sequence 5'-NGG-3', where N is any nucleobase followed by two guanine (G) nucleobases. What if GG does not occur near what you want to cut? There are several other PAMs and they look for the one in closest proximity the target string. Guide RNA (gRNA) contains the PAM (scaffold sequence necessary for Cas-binding) and the virus snippet (nucleotide spacer that defines the target) hence they are also referred to as a scaffold and a spacer. The nucleotide spacer is about 20 bases long. When the gRNA combines with the Cas9 it creates an entity similar to a ribosome, the combination becomes active and it feeds DNA into itself looking for a match. It first matches for the PAM. If the match is found it tries to see if the remaining sequence is the spacer, otherwise it skips that target. If the target DNA is complementary to the guide RNA strand (the spacer and the PAM), the two strands will base pair. This will allow the target DNA to unzip, and the bases flip up and bind to the guide RNA. The part of the crRNA sequence that is complementary to the target sequence is the spacer. In order for Cas9 to function, it also requires a specific PAM and those vary depending on the bacterial species of the Cas9 gene. The most commonly used Cas9 nuclease, derived from S. pyogenes, recognizes a PAM sequence of NGG. CRISPR-Cas9 is currently the simplest, most versatile and precise method of genetic manipulation.

A more detailed explanation https://www.addgene.org/guides/crispr/

How does it work?

The guide RNA is designed to find and bind to a specific sequence in the DNA. When it finds a match the Cas9 makes a cut across BOTH strands of the DNA. At this stage the cell recognises that the DNA is damaged and tries to repair it. In a virus there is no cell machinery to manipulate its DNA which is why it hijacks a cell from the host. In a human cell, at this stage the cell recognises that the DNA is damaged and tries to repair it. Scientists can use the DNA repair machinery of the cell to introduce changes to the DNA. Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) modifies the broken DNA ends, and joins the molecules together with no regard for homology (similarity of the structure to what was there), generating deletions or insertions. In contrast, homology-directed repair (HR) uses an undamaged DNA template to repair the break, leading to the reconstitution of the original sequence. So science can manipulate these to achieve their objectives.

We are playing with fire

We are playing with fire. When you let one person rashly introduce a gene altering substance where do we stop? When we let one person decide their sex where did we stop? There is nothing that has ever been invented that has not been weaponised and used, as well as commercialised for maximum marketing advantage, usually at the expense of the poor. Consider the mindset of Wall Street and derivatives and the global economic crisis. With bio-hacking anybody can insert markers into DNA and there are apparently patent laws that enable them to own anything with that marker, namely you. We know that DARPA is involved behind the scenes with genetic modification and with its funding. Along with these advances and deliberate attempts to weaponise, there have always been accidents and disasters (radioactive meltdowns) for various reasons. This technology is cheap and can be put into the hands of someone equivalent to a hacker (a bio hacker) or terrorist or subversive major power that wants to control the future because they believe that the way we now live is not sustainable. There are people like Josiah Zayner who would like everybody hands on with it and then there are others at the other extreme who believe in absolute control by a minority. The concept of introducing these changes into germline cells is horrifying. You can get the materials in mail order and find videos on YouTube. A combination of how the covid19 vaccination issue is treated and the knowledge of the hearts of men puts an apocalyptic fear in me, while some people see no problem at all. A lot of the big talkers dont even know what the autoimmune response is about. The world is polarized on these issues. We have now created bioluminescent rats by combining rat genes with firefly genes, literally green monkeys by combining the genes with the florescent genes of jellyfish and who knows what else people have cooked up while some people just go around saying that there is no problem, no risk, we have it under control. God made it so that we cannot naturally transfer genetic coding across kinds but that has been blown out of the water. Some of the things that we see in the book of Revelation indicates that the worst is to come. Where is Christ?

Geert Vanden Bossche

Geert Vanden Bossche received his DVM from the University of Ghent, Belgium, and his PhD degree in Virology from the University of Hohenheim, Germany. He held adjunct faculty appointments at universities in Belgium and Germany. After his career in Academia, Mr. Bossche joined several vaccine companies https://www.geertvandenbossche.org/. Geert Vanden Bossche warns about vaccine induced specific long lived antibodies that out compete the broad based natural antibodies. Your natural immune system will not get a chance to defend you against infection because the artificial ones will be more agressive and bind to the virus first but the artificial ones are specific and will not defend against variants. In such a host the virus will become so virulent and so deadly that there will be nothing we can do to about it. They become a potential asymptomatic carrier that is shedding the virus. According to him the reason why the virus is mutating and and becoming so much more dangerous is because of the unnatural interference caused by the vaccines.

THEORY, STANDARDS AND APPROACHES

Authoritative safety and effectiveness

Many people CLAIM to be following science. I will now describe the scientific approach to determining when we scientifically KNOW safety and KNOW efficacy. It has to do with when the results of the experimental stage has been approved as satisfying what it is proposed to do. Approval for emergency use only says that it can be used in an emergency but at your own risk. It does not mean safe.

Goal in Emergency use authorisation
1- Safety
2- Efficacy
2a. in preventing disease (showing the symptoms of the disease)
2b. in preventing infection (being infected and contagious even without symptoms)

Ivermectin, zinc, hydroxychloroquin, etc.

Ivermectin, Zinc, Hydroxychloroquine and the other medications in use at the time were already known to be safe and typically the doctors who prescribed them as their treatment claimed amazing results.  The synthetic mRNA approach was never proven to be safe in animals. Yet they did not even attempt to use Ivermectin etc. in Operation Warp Speed. Studies had to be carried out in other countries. Furthermore they were demonised as dangerous. Is that scientific?

Phases in Emergency use authorisation
1- Pre-clinical (animal testing)
2- Clinical (Human trials)
2a- Small sample size
2b- large sample size
2c- Huge sample size
2d- FDA Approval

When were the results of the pre-clinical tests circulated?  When was the covid synthetic mRNA given to the mice and then monitored? What were the results and the sample size? That is basic safety tests before moving to people. When were the people for the trials selected and informed? Ivermectin did not need phase 1. Why was it not moved to phase 2 or even allowed in the trials?

At 2a we are dealing with healthy people to ensure that reactions are from the drug and not underlying health problems. The sample size is less that 100 and we are trying to establish the upper and lower limits of dosage. What were the results? Why was Ivermectin, zinc, hydroxychloroquin, etc. not advanced past this stage to provide quick results?

At 2b the sample size is increased and an attempt is made to capture the range of diversity in the population that is targeted for the research. If you are the leader of a country and you are following the science (the scientific method) then you would have sought the results of phase 1 and 2a, and if there are not available then it could be done for your population and the basic safety steps required by the scientific method. They must be informed to help identify risks quickly and monitored. The sample size here is 100 to 1,000. Remember that the first scientific objective is safety. Are the people aware of the trial. Are they kept up to date with the results?

At 2c you have cleared the 2a and 2b and are upping the sample size. You are now fully aware of risks and you are informing your VOLUNTEERS and monitoring them. You would also have informed your health care workers so that they know what to expect.

I have already mentioned the CBER document Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee October 22, 2020 Meeting Presentation, of October 22, 2020 (two months before the shots came out to the public). When I first got the document is was available as VRBPAC-10.22.20-Meeting-Presentation-COVID19-CBER-Monitoring-Vaccine.pdf. It was an internal document displaying what they expected were going to be the side effects from the shot. The subheading was FDA Safety Surveillance of COVID-19 Vaccines :DRAFT Working list of possible adverse event outcomes. It was proposed that these things would be monitored:

  • Guillain-Barré syndrome
  • Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis
  • Transverse myelitis
  • Encephalitis/myelitis/encephalomyelitis/meningoencephalitis/meningitis/encepholapathy
  • Convulsions/seizures
  • Stroke
  • Narcolepsy and cataplexy
  • Anaphylaxis
  • Acute myocardial infarction
  • Myocarditis/pericarditis
  • Autoimmune disease
  • Deaths
  • Pregnancy and birth outcomes
  • Other acute demyelinating diseases
  • Non-anaphylactic allergic reactions
  • Thrombocytopenia
  • Disseminated intravascular coagulation
  • Venous thromboembolism
  • Arthritis and arthralgia/joint pain
  • Kawasaki disease
  • Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children
  • Vaccine enhanced disease

Why can't we see the results? Have any of them occurred within three days, ten days, three weeks of taking the shot? There is no official report but the social media and our interactions among friends tell a story.

Control group

In all testing there must be a control group: people who have not been given the medication. In a trial you DO NOT WANT everybody to have the medication because then there would be no way to judge the effects of the trial. Is it therefore science to try to inoculate everyone with an experimental treatment?

THE SPIKE PROTEIN

Viruses can't reproduce on their own, they have to get inside cells where they use the cells own biochemical machinery to reproduce. Each cell has a fatty layer called a membrane that holds in all the enzymes, proteins and DNA that make up a cell and protect it from invaders. Due to the biochemical nature of fats, the outer surface is highly charged and repellent. Viruses must get past this barrier to gain access to the cell.

Amphipathic molecules are chemical compounds that have both polar (charged) and nonpolar (net 0 charge) regions, giving them both hydrophilic (water-loving) and lipophilic (fat-loving) properties. Amphipathic and amphiphilic have the same meaning. Each lipid molecule contains a hydrophilic region, also called a polar head region, and a hydrophobic, or nonpolar tail region. The most abundant class of lipid molecule found in cell membranes is phospholipids. The phospholipids organize themselves in a bilayer (called the lipid bilayer) to hide their lipophilic tail regions and expose the hydrophilic regions to water. The most important property of the lipid bilayer is that it is highly impermeable. The definition of impermeable is not able to be broken through, or not allowing fluids to pass through but in this case it does not allow molecules to freely pass across it but water and gases can easily pass through. Large molecules and small polar molecules cannot cross the bilayer, without the assistance of other structures.

Biological membranes have three primary functions: (1) they keep toxic substances out of the cell; (2) they contain receptors and channels that allow specific molecules, such as ions, nutrients, wastes, and metabolic products, that mediate cellular and extracellular activities to pass between organelles and between the cell and the outside environment; and (3) they separate vital but incompatible metabolic processes conducted within organelles.

coronaviruses themselves are surrounded by a fatty layer known as an envelope. They produce a spike protein on the surface of the envelope. Among other things the spike protein is used to fuse their own membrane to that of cells and take over the cell. Three separate spike molecules bind to each other to form a functional unit called a trimer. The spike can be subdivided into distinct functional units, known as domains, one part does binding to the target cell, one does fusing with the membrane, and another enables the spike to sit on the viral envelope i.e. outside the 'skin'. There are estimated to be roughly 26 spike trimers per virus.

Like other coronaviruses, the SARS-CoV-2 genome has genetic coding for spike (S) glycoproteins, which protrude from the surface of mature virions. A virion is the entire virus particle, consisting of an outer shell called a capsid and an inner core which is the RNA or DNA itself. The S glycoprotein plays essential roles in virus attachment, fusion and entry into the host cell. Given how crucial the spike protein is to the virus these mRNA vaccine alternatives are targeted to viral glycoproteins for the SARS-CoV-2.

MODERNA AND PHIZER/BIONTECH

The S-protein is reverse engineered to develop the RNA that generates it. That RNA is called synthetic mRNA because it is man made.

The corona virus looks something like tennis ball with pins stuck into it and the s-proteins are like the pins.

The synthetic mRNA is encased in a fat globule called the envelope and I depict it like so {~}. The envelope and the proteins on it allow it to fuse with a cell.

Canada was one of the first, if not the first, to approve the PFIZER shot. This article was written in support of it: What’s in Pfizer’s vaccine? A look at the ingredients https://globalnews.ca/news/7525406/covid-vaccine-ingredients-pfizer, By Rachael D'Amore, Global News, Posted December 16, 2020 3:52 pm. The main issue by objectors at the time (and still the main issue to my knowledge) was that it was experimental and the approach was not experimental.  If this high-handed approach is how we are to move forward with such potentially dangerous innovations then sooner or later we will pay the price.

MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX (MHC) MOLECULES

HISTOCOMPATIBILITY means compatibility between the tissues of different individuals, so that one accepts a graft from the other without having an immune reaction. MHC Class II molecules are a class of MHC molecules normally found only on full-time antigen-presenting cells such as B cells. These cells are important in initiating immune responses.

ANTIGEN-PRESENTING CELL (APC)

These are white blood cells (lymphocytes) that mediate or assist the cellular immune response by capturing and presenting antigens on their outside to be identified by other lymphocytes (white blood cells) such as T cells.

ANTIGEN

An antigen is a toxin or other foreign substance which causes an immune response in the body. The production of antibodies is such a response.

The target for the synthetic mRNA is antigen-presenting cells which are all white blood cells. There is nothing to prevent the mRNA from entering other cells but it is only APCs that produce the immune response. All that the synthetic mRNA is expected to do with other cells is cause them to produce the S-protein which triggers their own destruction. This difference in behaviour comes because of the difference in the action of MHC Class I molecules and Class II molecules. Only antigen-presenting cells (white blood cells) have MHC Class II molecules but all cells with a nucleus have MHC Class I molecules.

helper T-Cell

The glob fuses with the cell and the synthetic mRNA is released into the cell. It is not intended to go into the nucleus but to be picked up by the ribosomes. It appears that the synthetic mRNA acts exactly like mRNA because it is picked up directly by the ribosome which produces the antigen protein (toxin) coded into it. I do not understand what there is to prevent it from reaching the nucleus, especially when cells (as they sometimes do) become deformed, but somehow it is taken as impossible. After the ribosomes produce the S-protein it is presented to the outside attached by the MHC Class II molecules (also called MHC Class II complex or MHC II complex) on the APC. This attracts T-helper cells. T-cells can only interact with the toxic protein once it is presented on the MHC II complex. One concern is if it is possible that the cell can become deformed in such a way that it produces the S protein but never presents it to the killer T-cells or the helper T-cells so that it continues producing indefinitely.

ACQUIRED IMMUNE SYSTEM

All of us have a barrier immune system (skin), an innate immune system (the white blood cell defences that we are born with) and an acquired immune system (the remaining white blood cells). White blood cells are called lymphocytes. The Acquired immune system or adaptive immune system is what provides the ability to deal with threats that we did not know how to deal with from birth. T-Cells (T-lymphocytes) and B-cells (B-lymphocytes) and their derivatives are the white blood cells that operate at the level of the Acquired immune system.

HUMORAL IMMUNITY is so named because it involves substances found in the humors, or body fluids. Humoral immunity (a.k.a antibody-mediated immunity) comes from B-lymphocytes

CELLULAR IMMUNITY comes from T-lymphocytes. These consist of:

  • -- helper T-cells. They use CD4 (cluster of differentiation 4) to indirectly kill antigens (toxins or other foreign substances)
  • -- killer T-cells. They use CD8 (cluster of differentiation 8) to kill antigens

T-HELPER CELLS

T-helper cells are responsible for the proper functioning of the rest of the immune cells including those with CD8. They provide growth factors and maturity factors (directions on how to develop into their final stage) for the remaining immune cells. The receptor of a particle is the point where it is allowed to connect to a cell or particle. CD4 is a protein that serves as a co-receptor for creating the T-cell receptor. It works in tandem with with the other co-receptor, MHC II. The MHC II complex is the cells that enable compatibility between the tissues of different individuals. CD4 is found on the surface of immune cells such as T helper cells. The CD4 binds to the T-Cell by joining to the class II MHC which is the co-receptor for the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR). Once that connection is made the T-Cell becomes activated and it produces chemicals that tell the B-cells to proliferate and differentiate (or morph).

PROLIFERATE AND DIFFERENTIATE (OR MORPH)

B-CELLS are a stage in the production of cells called antigen-specific immunoglobulin (Ig) typically known as antibodies. Antigen-specific means that they are only effective against a specific pathogen but they make large amounts of the matching antibody. PLASMA CELLS (a.k.a plasmacytes) develop (or morph) from the B cells that become activated. While plasma cells have their origins in the bone marrow as B-cells, they usually leave the bone marrow to develop and mature in the lymph nodes or spleen so wherever the invasion originated triggers a response from these places. ANTIBODIES are Y shaped structures that capture the antigens with the pincer end of the Y. In the case of corona virus they latch on to the surface proteins. They can only do this after a first contact teaches the B-cells how to identify the pathogen. The antibodies completely engulf and attach themselves to the antigen. This signals other specialised immune cells to come and digest the coated cell.

B cells are activated and differentiated through their B cell receptor (BCR) which has a Y shape like an antibody and is formed with the pincer end to the outside and the shaft penetrating to the inside of the B cell. A fraction of the B cells with BCR that is tuned to the antigen, differentiate into memory B cells that survive long-term in the body. Memory B cells and long-lived plasma cells (PCs) account for the long-term humoral immunity. The Memory B cell's function is to memorize the characteristics of the antigen that activated their parent B cell during initial infection. Long-lived plasma cells go a bit further. Plasma cells secrete antibodies specific for the pathogens but they cannot respond upon secondary exposure. They are already producing specific antibodies for a specific antigen. Memory plasma cells, residing as mature long-lived plasma cells in bone marrow and inflamed tissues, secrete antibodies regardless of contact with of antigens, T-helper cells or memory B cells and are therefore crucial for maintaining antibody levels.

IT IS NOW WELL ACCEPTED THAT PLASMA CELLS CAN BECOME LONG-LIVED (MEMORY) PLASMA CELLS AND SECRETE ANTIBODIES FOR MONTHS, YEARS OR A LIFETIME. HOWEVER, THE MECHANISMS INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS OF HUMORAL MEMORY, WHICH IS CRUCIAL FOR BOTH PROTECTIVE IMMUNITY AND AUTOIMMUNITY, STILL ARE NOT FULLY UNDERSTOOD!!

MEMORY T CELLS

The activation of the T-Cell also stimulates the production of Memory T cells. Helper T-cells also stimulate the generation of a host of Memory T cells. Memory T cells are antigen-specific T cells that remain long-term after an infection has been eliminated. The memory T cells are quickly converted into large numbers of effector T cells if they are exposed to the same invading antigen, thus providing a rapid response to past infection.

The acquired immune system is specific. It is tuned to identify and attack very precisely but can only respond effectively to things that it knows. The innate immune system in non-specific and adapts to new threats.

CELL DESTRUCTION AND MHC I

After the ribosomes produce the S-protein it is also presented to the outside attached by the MHC Class I mollecules (MHC I complex) on the APC. This attracts T-killer cells. Cytotoxic T cells kill target cells presenting a specific antigen while sparing neighbouring uninfected cells. All our cells are susceptible to lysis by the cytotoxic proteins of armed effector CD8 T cells (Killer T-Cells), but only infected cells are killed. Lysis is the breaking down of the membrane of a cell.

ASTRAZENECA/OXFORD

A vector is an organism that transmits an infectious agent from an infected animal to a human or another animal. Vectors are typically living creatures and frequently arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, flies, fleas and lice but in the case of virology it is a virus.

The AstraZeneca vaccine uses a chimpanzee adenovirus vaccine vector. According to the publications this is a harmless, weakened adenovirus that usually causes the common cold in chimpanzees. It has been genetically changed so that it is impossible for it to grow in humans. Hence it can enter human cells but not replicate inside. A gene for the coronavirus vaccine was added into the adenovirus DNA, causing it to produce the spike proteins that SARS-CoV-2 uses to enter human cells.

The virus penetrates the cell and injects its RNA which migrates to the nucleus. According to the theory it cannot get integrated into the DNA but this is not what I understand from reverse transcriptase https://www.britannica.com/science/reverse-transcriptase. The AstraZeneca theory proclaims that it only uses the nucleus to create the mRNA which the ribosomes then use to churn out the antigen. The body then reacts by making antibodies as described before.

METHODOLOGY FOR EFFICACY

There was a huge difference here between the scientific methodology and the actual covid19 protocol. For example science insists on a control group. Since the efficacy is unknown and the rhetoric is speaking of repeated doses year after year it is essential to have a long therm control group to compare repeated jabs with no jab at all.

The other challenging issue is that the information if being presented as thought the shots are the only alternatives for prevention and recovery. A true scientific study looks at all of what is available and looks at it objectively. Another concern is what about the information on being asymptomatic?

My objection to the general rhetoric is this. Most people who develop coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) recover within 26 weeks. When you give someone a shot you basically give them the disease. Deaths as a result of a first shot is comparable to death within the first two weeks of catching covid. The same goes for death within 28 days for Moderna or 21 days for Phfizer. What people want to know is the recovery rate compared with the death rate and the information out there in the media is misleading. We also want to know what the rate is compared to the rate of taking the mRNA shot. We want to know how many people would have died if there was no shot ever but proper treatment with the available technologies compared to how many have died because of the introduction of the shot and the current protocols.

The following information is what I could garner early in 2021. Perhaps it have been updated but I have not checked since then.

MODERNA (Objective is to show symptoms. No determination of being asymptomatic)

Two doses (day 0, day 28)

Monitor for 14 days after. If you have symptoms come in and get tested. (Was this done in the protocol? Did people know to look for ALL the symptoms? Were they sensitized to the risk after the first dose?)

Sampling: initial size = 30,000 split into two groups (placebo and shot). (the protocol wants everyone to be jabbed with the synthetic mRNA in their trial. No long term placebo or control group).

see details at https://www.modernatx.com/covid19vaccine-eua/providers/clinical-trial-data. What has been published in the media is misleading according to the information on this site. The information under the heading Unsolicited Adverse Events has largely been avoided in publications promoting the protocol.

storage and availability: -4 degrees F/-20 degrees C i.e. implications for infrastructural costs. Yet to be produced in large quantities.

PHIZER (Objective is to show symptoms. No determination of being asymtomatic)

Two doses (day 0, day 21)

Monitor for 7 days after. If you have symptoms come in and get tested. (Was this done in the protocol? Did people know to look for ALL symptoms? Were they sensitized to the risk after the first dose?)

Sampling: initial size = 43,000 split into two groups (placebo and shot). (the protocol wants everyone to be jabbed with the synthetic mRNA in their trial. No long term placebo or control group).

I did not find a lot of details shown on the PHFIZER site. See details at https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2034577. What has been published in the media is misleading according to the information on this site. The adverse information under the heading Results has largely been avoided in publications promoting the protocol.

storage and availability: -97 degrees F/-70 degrees C i.e. implications for infrastructural costs. Yet to be produced in large quantities.

ASTRAZENECA (Objective is negative PCR test. Possible determination of being asymptomatic)

Two doses (day 0, day 28)

After 14 days get tested. (Did people know to look for ALL symptoms? Were they sensitized to the risk after the first dose?)

Sampling: initial size = Brazil 9,000 split into two groups (placebo and jab). UK 3,000 split into two groups (placebo and jab). (the protocol wants everyone to be jabbed with the synthetic mRNA in their trial. No long term placebo or control group). There was an anomaly with the results form Brazil vs the UK that is as yet unexplained but has implications for dosage.

see details at https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)32623-4/fulltext. Lower efficacy than the others but 0 serious cases according to published results. In my opinion the importance of this was approach was distorted by the media.

storage and availability: 36-46 degrees F/approx 2-8 degrees C i.e. few implications for infrastructural costs. Yet to be produced in large quantities.

The vaccine methodology is flawed because it is based on the Chinese variant. There were about 12 strains that were simultaneously circulating by early 2021.

MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES (mAbs)

mAbs have been around for some time in the treatment of cancer. They are normally produced by immunizing an animal, often a mouse, multiple times with a specific antigen. B cells from the spleen of the immunized animal are then removed. The spleen cells are fused with human cancerous white blood cells called myeloma cells to form hybridoma cells which divide indefinitely. These hybridoma cells divide and produce millions of monoclonal antibodies specific to the original antigen. Since normal B cells are unable to proliferate forever, they need to employ cancerous B cells called myeloma cells, to yield hybridoma cells. Myeloma (Multiple myeloma) is a type of blood cancer that develops from cells in the bone marrow called plasma cells. Plasma cells, also called plasma B cells, are white blood cells that originate in the Lymphoid organs.

Lymph is a colourless fluid containing white blood cells, which bathes the tissues and drains through the lymphatic system into the bloodstream.

The lymphoid organs include the red bone marrow, thymus, spleen and lymph nodes (found in clusters in the neck, armpits and groin). They are responsible for:

  • Production of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets;
  • Removal of damaged red blood cells;
  • Maturation (morphing into the needed type) of immune cells;
  • Trapping foreign material.

The red bone marrow and thymus are considered to be primary lymphoid organs, because the majority of immune cells originate in them. Bone marrow is found in the centre of most bones. There are two types of bone marrow: red and yellow. Red marrow contains blood stem cells that can become red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets (small, colourless cell fragments that form clots and stop or prevent bleeding). Yellow marrow is made mostly of fat i.e. it stores fat. Plasma cells, or plasma B cells, originate in the Lymphoid organs and are a type of immune cell that makes large amounts of a specific antibody. Plasma cells develop from B cells that have been activated. The thymus is in the chest, between the lungs and behind the breastbone. It is just in front of, and above, the heart

The spleen is on your left side, next to your stomach and behind your left ribs. You can survive without it because the liver can take over many of the spleen's functions. Your spleen:

  • Stores blood.
  • Filters blood by removing cellular waste products and old or damaged blood cells.
  • Makes white blood cells.
  • Maintains the levels of fluid in your body.
  • Produces antibodies.

Lymph nodes filter substances that travel through the lymphatic fluid, and they white blood cells to fight infection.

The hybridomas are capable of growing continuously in the lab while producing antibodies. Those producing the desired mAb are screened out, grown in tissue culture and harvested. It is a very expensive and time-consuming process hence mAbs are expensive.

The monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of covid-19 appear to have a somewhat different production cycle.

  • B-cells are collected from a recovered patient's blood rather than a mouse
  • In the lab the B-cells are mixed with spike proteins from the corona virus
  • Scientist identify the B-cells that are best at attaching to the spike protein
  • They isolate the genes inside the cells that produce the most effective antibodies
  • The genes are placed inside cells and grown in bio reactors to create more antiboodies
  • These antibodies are produced as a concentrated liquid which is injected into covid-19 patients

A bioreactor is an apparatus that provides an ideal environment where cells can proliferate. A bioreactor is designed to produce an ideal environment for cell development. It should not be too hot or too cold, the atmosphere must be maintained at an ideal mix, the correct pH is maintained, and cell nutrients must be added at the ideal rate to maintain efficient growth.

I do not know where the cells that the genes are placed inside come from.

The therapy is not recommended for everyone https://www.houstonmethodist.org/blog/articles/2021/jan/what-is-monoclonal-antibody-therapy-and-who-is-eligible-to-receive-it/

Monoclonal antibody treatment is available to individuals who:

    Are high risk** for developing severe COVID-19 AND
    Have a positive COVID-19 test and have not yet been admitted to the hospital AND
    Are 12 years of age or older (and at least 88 pounds)

Post-exposure preventive monoclonal antibodies are available to those who have been exposed (consistent with the CDC's close contact criteria)* AND who are:

    High risk** for developing severe COVID-19 AND
    Not fully vaccinated OR vaccinated but immunocompromised AND
    12 years of age or older (and at least 88 pounds)

*In some cases, direct exposure isn't a criterion. If you meet the criteria above and are at high risk of exposure to an individual infected because of an occurrence of infection in other individuals in the same institutional setting (for example, nursing homes or prisons), you are eligible for post-exposure preventive monoclonal antibodies.

It is important to understand that post-exposure preventive monoclonal antibodies are not a replacement for vaccination. We highly encourage everyone to get a COVID-19 shot.

**High risk includes any of the following:

    65 years of age or older
    Overweight (body mass index over 25)
    Pregnancy

This study also hilighted the need for phone based follow ups.

No need for randomised studies (hece a quasi-experimental study) because it is alraedy in use.

Mexico community based study/case study https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/r93g4/

A complete home care approach but the dosage was very low i.e. if the recommended dosage was used results would have been better. people were tested and those who were positive but not severe were split into the two groups. Serious cases were referred to hospital and apparently treated with the same Ivermectin.

Two doses (4 x 6mg pills, 2 pills on two days = 12mg per dose)

The objective was to prevent hospitalization and the effectiveness (not efficacy becase it was across all strata) was between 50% to 76%.

Sampling: Two groups - kit receivers 83,000 of which 77,000 formed the experimental group and non kit receivers 156,468 largely people from records before the kit was distributed.

storage and availability: No implications for infrastructural costs, Widely already available.

Peru (Reduction in excess deaths)

Reduction in deaths by usage:

  • maximal  74%
  • medium   53%
  • minimal  25%

Sampling: 25 states divided into three groups based on levels of ivermectin therapy - maximal, medium and minimal.

storage and availability: No implications for infrastructural costs, Widely already available.

India [Uttar Pradesh]

In the Agra district of Uttar Pradesh (4.419 million - 2011) none of the members of the rapid reaction teams got COVID despite being in daily contact. The rapid reaction teams were the ones that responded to people newly diagnosed and hence at their most contageous state.

  • vitamin D3 5,000 international units per day boost to 20,000 if sick
  • vitamin C 3,000 mg per day
  • zinc 50-150 mg per day
  • vitamin A 10,000 international units per day

[sequenced multi-drug therapy done by doctors]

I am not prescribing any of the following. I am not a medical practitioner. I am merely relaying information that I have come across during my own investigation!

  • monoclonal antibodies
  • Azithromycin (Zithromax). Millions of doses have been administered to patients dealing with bacterial infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia, as well as infections of the ears, lungs, and other organs. In the past couple of years, the drug has met with serious criticism related to the politicizing of covid-19. The long and short of the story it has all along been safely used to treat lung congestion.
  • Ivermectin is approved in the United States under the brand name STROMECTOL. Ivermectin generic: 18 mg once per week for prevention ,25 mg per day for 5 days if sick.
  • Hydroxychloroquine (various protocols use various dosages but can be lethal if overdosed). The FDA approved 2.4 grams total for emergency use with COVID-19. 300 mg once per week for prevention.
  • aspirin as a mild blood thinner 325 mg/day for 90 days
  • Budesonide inhaled. Budesonide is used to prevent difficulty breathing, chest tightness, wheezing, and coughing.
  • oral prednisone. Prednisone is a glucocorticoid medication. Glucocorticoids are powerful medicines that fight inflammation and work with your immune system to treat wide range of health problems. Your body actually makes its own glucocorticoids. These hormones have many jobs, such as controlling how your cells use sugar and fat and curbing inflammation. They are mostly used to control conditions such as asthma, COPD, and rheumatologic diseases.
  • colchicine used for gout used here to control inflammation 1  tab per day for 30 days

This sickness rarely requires hospitalization. Children rarely need more than the recommended treatment. Old people can be taken care of at home and doctors can direct treatment by phone. There are online doctors at myfreedoctor.com and pharmacies that that provide online services e.g. synergyhealthdpc.com  and alldaychemist.com. They should be able to assist.

[Vaccines]

PHIZER down to about 39% efficacy against delta variant

MODERNA is now around 78%

ASTRAZENICA and JOHNSON & JOHNSON little information but perhaps 50-60%

VAERS is the US national vaccine safety monitoring system that accepts reports of adverse events after vaccination. It reported over 15,000 deaths, 250,000 hospitalizations and more. The FDA has warnings against all the labels and the FDA has strongly voted against boosters. Safety of vaccines is uncertain. I am not an expert on experiments and might be why I find it surprising that the published statistics appear to be using data that is volunteered to VAERS. When people volunteer results it introduces an error of unknown proportions. People volunteer or do not volunteer based on personal feelings and a perceived pay-off or benefit. I would have though that a more objective approach would be taken where everybody who takes the shot is tracked. Those who die within ten days of taking the vaccine-alternative would be assumed to have died from it unless proven otherwise. This may be less stringent for dying within thirty days but every effort should be made to get to the truth even if it is at first delayed because of volume. There seems to be an enormous error because of the unknown motivations behind reporting and not reporting.

The strategy is broken down into levels

Ivermectin is crucial but it is not always appropriate to the situation.

PREVENTION

1. boost immune system
  • Vitamin D has over 2,000 documented mechanisms to boost the innate immune system
  • - stimulate the liver to produce the macrophage activating factor (MAF). 10,000 units per day [5k + 5k] or at leas 1/2 hour of bright sunlight with 50% skin exposure. Cytokines are small proteins that act to control the growth and activity of other immune system cells and blood cells. During a cytokine storm, various inflammatory cytokines are produced at a much higher rate than normal. This overproduction of cytokines causes positive feedback on other immune cells to occur, which induces more immune cells to be drawn to the site of the signal and that can lead to organ damage. Macrophages are white blood cells involved in the detection, ingestion and destruction of bacteria and other harmful organisms. In addition to their other roles they can initiate inflammation by releasing cytokines that activate other cells.
  • - LL-37(cathelicidin) (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3836506/). Studies have shown that vitamin D's effects on the immune system derive from its upregulation (up regulation) of the antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin, LL-37. Upregulation is defined by Oxford dictionary as: 1. the increase at the cellular level of the magnitude or rate of a physiological response or biochemical or process, especially of the expression of a gene. 2. the increase in the number or density of cell surface receptors for a physiologically active substance, causing an increase in sensitivity in response to persistent exposure. Auto means self and phagy means eat. So the literal meaning of autophagy is self-eating. It is the body's way of cleaning out damaged cells, in order to regenerate newer ones. LL-37 is the sole member of the human cathelicidin family. In addition to its antimicrobial properties, it carries numerous immune system modulating properties. LL-37 has been shown to increase autophagy in macrophages to enhance innate immunity against viral infections, and in vitro LL-37 inhibits HIV replication in peripheral blood mononuclear cells including in CD4+ T cells (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4077005/). There are over 1,000 documents on PUBMED dealing with vitamin D in viral and other infections.
  • Israeli study of 8,000 people shows that the more vitamin D in your system the less likely you are to catch covid, develop symptoms, be hospitalized or die.
  • National health service in Britain enrolling volunteers to study of over 100,000 people to extend the Israli study. In this case they are looking at ethnicity and vitamin D and its impact.
  • at least 2000 but up to 5,000 units a day for adults
  • for little children 1,000 units for each 5 years of age up to 5,000 max.

inhibit virus access to cell receptors
  • If the virus does get into your body it has to bind to a receptor in order to get into the cell and replicate.
  • ACE-2 complex. The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 entry into host cells is mediated by its spike glycoprotein (S-glycoprotein), and the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) has been identified as a cellular receptor (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-18319-6). Angiotensin receptor blockers typically have serious side effects. Pycnogenol (pine needle tea) is a naturally occurring angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that does not have serious side effects but can cause drops in blood pressure hence be aware if susceptible. There are a whole host of naturally occurring foods to control hypertension including Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors found at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3989080/.
  • Angiotensin II (AT II or Ang II) is a very potent chemical formed in the blood that causes muscles surrounding blood vessels to contract, thereby narrowing the vessels. This narrowing increases the pressure within the vessels and can cause high blood pressure (hypertension). Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) are medications that block the action of angiotensin II by preventing angiotensin II from binding to angiotensin II receptors (like ACE-2) on the muscles surrounding blood vessels. As a result, blood vessels enlarge (dilate) and blood pressure is reduced. Reduced blood pressure makes it easier for the heart to pump blood and can improve heart failure. In addition, the progression of kidney disease caused by the high blood pressure or diabetes is slowed. Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs) have effects that are similar to angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, but ACE inhibitors act by preventing the FORMATION of angiotensin II rather than by blocking the BINDING of angiotensin II to muscles on blood vessels. An advantage of ARBs over ACE inhibitors is fewer adverse effects: in general, ARBs are better tolerated than ACE inhibitors
  • Angiotensin receptor blockers and ACE inhibitors increase the expression of ACE-2 on the cell and hence provide a ready resource for the spike protein (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7360378/), but maintaining the use of these medications is essential for hypertensive patients. How do you cope with the implications? Dr. Kevin Bethel recommends maintaining the meds but adding other medications to deal with the side effects and identifies Pycnogenol as his best candidate. Pycnogenol acts as a blocker or inhibitor that protects against viral myocarditis (virus in heart muscle) and pulmonary oedema (fluid retention) caused by anti-hypertensives and works in conjunction with antihypertensive medications allowing them to be reduced in most patients. On its own Pycnogenol is safe and protects against renal failure. Pycnogenol is also synergistic with Ramipril (medication to treat high blood pressure).
  • Cytokines are cell signalling molecules that aid cell to cell communication in immune responses and stimulate the movement of cells towards sites of inflammation, infection and trauma. In Covid 19 these areas are the kidneys and the lungs. During a cytokine storm, various inflammatory cytokines are produced at a much higher rate than normal causing a flood of immune cells to be recruited to the site of injury that can lead to organ damage. Cytokine storms are a feature of covid-19.
  • The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is a working relationship between hormones of several organs involved in the regulation of blood pressure by balancing fluid (i.e. water) and electrolyte (e.g. Sodium) levels, as well as regulating the degree to which blood vessels dilate or constrict. So we know that it has to include Urinary System and specifically the Juxtaglomerular complex. The Glomerulus is particularly a cluster of capillaries around the end of a kidney tubule, where waste products are filtered from the blood. Juxtaglomerular (juxta means near or close to) cells refer to the cells in proximity to the Glomerulus where arterioles (as opposed to capillaries in the Glomerulus these have muscular walls) contain specialised secretory cells that secrete renin. These cells do two things: (1) They monitor blood pressure, by measuring how much the arteriole wall is stretched. (2) They monitor the concentration of sodium and chloride ions in the area. Renin acts on angiotensinogen (the sole precursor of all angiotensin peptides), resulting in the release of angiotensin I leading to angeotensin II which constricts blood vessels. Typically, RAAS is activated when there is a drop in blood pressure. It responds by increasing water and electrolyte reabsorption in the kidney to compensate for the drop in blood volume. Since the kidney controls the blood this increases blood pressure everywhere. This link may be helpful https://www.news-medical.net/health/What-is-the-Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone-System.aspx
  • Renin (from the kidney) acts on angiotensin (continuously produced by the liver) to form angiotensin I (inactive). Angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) further cleaves angiotensin I to form angiotensin II which is the primary active peptide in balancing blood pressure. ACE is primarily found in the lungs and the kidneys.
  • Angiotensin II binds to angiotensin type I receptors (AT1R), as well as angiotensin type II receptors (AT2R). Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor, which leads to increased blood pressure. Angiotensin II binding to AT1R can result in a cascade of inflammation, constriction, and the promotion of atherosclerosis see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3377325/. Furthermore, these events can also lead to insulin resistance and thrombosis, whereas binding to AT2R has opposing effects: vasodilation reduced platelet aggregation and enhanced insulin activity, but by blocking AT II to protect from covid 19 you increase problems related to hypertension and renal failure.

3. inhibit Serine Protease enzyme
  • If the virus' access is blocked by eliminating the cell receptor it still has an alternative for sending its RNA into the cell.
  • One pathway to getting into the cell is Endocytosis. ACE2 binding is required for endocytosis and inhibiting or blocking that was already discussed. Endocytosis is a cellular process by which substances are brought into the cell. The material to be brought inside is sucked inward and surrounded by an area of cell membrane forming a bud on the inside of the cell. When detached inside the cell the bud is called an endosome. It is a vessicle containing the foreign substance. Cathepsin L (CatL) is an endosomal cysteine protease. Cystine (SCH2-CH(NH2)CO2-H)2 is a sulfur-containing amino acid obtained by the oxidation of two cysteine molecules. Cysteine (HOOC-CH-CH2-SH) is a non-essential amino acid important for making protein, and for other metabolic functions. Both Cystine and Cystine contain sulphur (S) but Cystine has the sulphur thiol that is nucleophilic. A thiol is a compound which contains an -SH (sulphur bonded to hydrogen net -ve charge) functional group. A nucleophile is a chemical that forms bonds with electrophiles by donating an electron pair while electrophiles accept electrons. A protease is an enzyme that assists in breaking down proteins into smaller polypeptides. Consequently CatL is a substance containing the Cysteine thiol which assists with breaking down the endosome wall thereby releasing its cargo. Medicines like chloroquine are high on the list of selective CatL blockers https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7255230/. Quininine was discovered in 1820 and rose to popularity as an antimalarial drug. Its side effects, which included irregular heartbeat, loss of hearing and a lowering of the blood platelet count, lead to synthetic modifications of it resulting in chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, and quinine was eventually banned by the US government 1994, except in the treatment of malaria. Chloroquine is an antimalarial drug that was developed in 1934. Hydroxychloroquine, an analogue of chloroquine, was developed in 1946. 
  • The second pathway, what I called the alternative, is via Transmembrane serine protease 2. Transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2) is a cell surface protein (it accomplishes the same thing as CatL but on the outside of the cell) primarily released by endothelial cells across the respiratory and digestive tracts. The endothelium is a thin membrane that lines the inside of the heart and blood vessels. As a serine protease, it is involved in the cleaving of peptide bonds of proteins. A carbonyl group is a carbon double-bonded to an oxygen (like C-O2, carbon dioxide). The serine has an -OH group that is able to attack the carbonyl carbon of the peptide bond. A fatty acid consists of one carboxyl group at the end of a linear hydrocarbon (a chain created with hydrogen and carbon) with at least four carbon atoms. The serine is thus able to dissolve these membrane lipids thus breaking down the cell wall allowing the RNA into the cell. By 2015 there were experiments proving the effectiveness of Protease inhibitors targeting coronavirus entry https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0166354215000248.
  • A protease is an enzyme which breaks down proteins and peptides (peptides are short strings of amino acids). Three key proteases are: angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE), ACE2 and Renin. Serine (C3-H7-N-O3) is a polar amino acid. Angiotensin I is converted to angiotensin II (Ang II) by a serine protease and Ang II causes high blood pressure. The ARB effectively displaces the Serine Protease hence killing two birds with one stone i.e. controlling hypertension and blocking TMPRSS2. Serine Protease inhibitors are found in pawpaw, neem, green tea and peanut skin. Neem extract is typically drawn from the leaves.

4. inhibit the RNA polymerase "viral replicase enzyme".

All RNA viruses use the same enzyme to replicate themselves, from Zica virus right down.

RNA polymerase replicates the RNA. Zinc in an inhibitor of RNA polymerase. Zinc acts as an anti-viral in general. It comes from nuts, seeds, fish.

TREATMENT

This is where we get into prescription drugs.

5. Add a zinc ionophore to increase the concentration of zinc in the infected cells.
An ionophore (from Greek ion and -phore, "ion carrier") is a chemical species that reversibly binds ions.
Quinine
is is no longer recommended as an over-counter medicine except for use with malaria. Tonic water contains quinine, a medicine that is distantly related to hydroxychloroquine but the concentration of quinine in tonic drinks is significantly below the levels found in anti-malaria drugs.
Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine
are both zinc ionophores.
Cliniquinol
is a zinc ionophore.
Quercetin
(available over the counter). Quercetin is a plant pigment (flavonoid). It is found in many plants and foods, such as red wine, onions, green tea, apples, berries, Ginkgo biloba, St. John's wort, American elder, and others. Buckwheat tea has a large amount of quercetin.

6. Inactivate the toxic spike protein
  • Corona virus has at least three proteins: M-protein, E-protein and the S-protein (spike-protein).
  • Furin is a naturally occurring enzyme that is widespread in the body. covid-19 uses furin to gain entry into the cell. The widespread distribution and use of furin in the body allows covid-19 to potentially enter all cell types. Furin is linked to Cytokine release syndrome a.k.a cytokine storms. It is is also a cardio-vascular disease promoter, a neoplasm cell promoter, a neuro-toxin and a hormone modulator. There are furin inhibitors (alpha lipoic acid, calpeptin). Several long lasting symptoms of covid 19 are the same as those from furin. Furin levels in the body can be measured and controlled.
  • Lysis is the disintegration of a cell by rupture of the cell wall or membrane. It is from Greek lusis meaning loosening. A protease (also called a peptidase or proteinase) is an enzyme that catalyzes (increases reaction rate or speeds up) proteolysis (similar to lysis but applied to proteins hence breaking down proteins into smaller polypeptides or single amino acids), and promoting the formation of new protein products. They do this by cleaving the peptide bonds within proteins by hydrolysis (a reaction where water molecules breaks chemical bonds). Proteases are involved in many biological functions, including digestion of ingested proteins and cell signalling.
  • Proprotein convertases (PPCs or PCs) are a family of proteins that activate other proteins. PCs (also known as eukaryotic subtilases) are a group of serine proteases namely: proprotein convertase 1 (PC1), PC2, furin, PC4, PC5, paired basic amino acid cleaving enzyme 4 (PACE4), PC7, subtilisin kexin isozyme 1 (SKI-1; also known as S1P) and proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9 (PCSK9), and their genes have been named PCSK1 to PCSK9.
  • Furin is not the only protease that regulates the function of the coronavirus S protein. Other proteases, such as the membrane-bound TMPRSS, the lysosomal cathepsins, elastase, and coagulation factor Xa have also been implicated.
  • Many proteins are inactive when they are first synthesized, because they contain chains of amino acids that block their activity. Proprotein convertases remove those chains and activate the protein.
  • For the CoV spike protein (S), Furin processes the S1/S2 site, whereas TMPRSS2 cleaves at the S2′ site. Inhibition of either furin or TMPRSS2 or simultaneous inhibition of both keeps the S protein fusion-inactive and prevents virus entry. The virulence related to this combination can be explored here https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6784293/.
  • The CoV spike protein is a major surface protein, which has a receptor site on the membrane which predisposes binding and fusion of the viral lipid envelope with cellular membranes. To activate it the S protein in CoVs is first severed into the subunits S1 and S2 that remain non-covalently linked. The S1 subunit contains the chemistry for receptor binding while the S2 subunit anchors the virus lipid in place on the cell and operates the fusion machinery. S can be cleaved by furin at the S1/S2 site and also at the at another site, the S2′ site, by the transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2). Cleavage at the S2′ site is believed to trigger the membrane fusion activity of S but S cleavage at the S1/S2 site is not yet fully understood. The process appears to begin with with cleavage at the S1/S2 followed by cleavage at S2′. The S protein of SARS-CoV-2 is activated by TMPRSS2 and furin. Inhibitors against both proteases strongly suppress virus replication and the combination of both types of inhibitors produces a synergistic effect on virus reduction.
  • https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7591300/ presents several sources of naturally controlling furin and MPRSS2.
  • [Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) a.k.a. cytokine storm] Since 2014 it was recorded that Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a potentially life-threatening toxicity that has been observed following therapies for cancer. CRS a.k.a cytokine storms, is associated with elevated circulating levels of several cytokines. Symptoms of disorientation, hallucination, lack of ability to sleep come from when the cytokine storms deplete the body of melatonin (hormone that regulates night and day cycles or sleep-wake cycles). These patients need supplementing to improve sleep, eye health, seasonal depression, HGH levels and GERD. Melatonin is safe and has few side effects, but may interact with some medications. The recommended dose tends to be 0.5–10 mg per day but it is best to follow label recommendations.
  • [Furin cytokine storm] Furin seems to be everywhere at the same time in mammalian tissues. It is associated with both physiological as well as pathophysiological processes. High plasma furin concentrations are found in patients with dysmetabolic phenotypes and diabetes where furin is critically involved and upregulated (up-regulate i.e the number of receptors for it is increased) in atherosclerotic plaque formation as well as in heart failure and of particular importance here, it is upregulated in activated immune cells. Although its role is not fully understood to date, it is considered to activate anti-inflammatory cytokines (TGF-β1) and thus, directly modulates CD4+ and CD8+ cell activity. Furthermore, furin is also upregulated in blood T-cells from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (25, 26), systemic lupus erythematosus (27) and primary Sjögren syndrome.
  • Furin is implicit in acting maliciously intracellularly, as well as extracellularly, by circulating in the blood. It is upregulated in T-cells, which are activated during infections, and circulate through the body.
  • ___

According to https://www.rxlist.com/upregulation/definition.htm: Upregulation: An increase in the number of receptors on the surface of target cells, making the cells more sensitive to a hormone or another agent. For example, there is an increase in uterine oxytocin receptors in the third trimester of pregnancy, promoting the contraction of the smooth muscle of the uterus.

All of this upregulation appears to is linked to SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV-2 infection and the destruction of lung cells triggers a local immune response, recruiting macrophages and monocytes that respond to the infection, release cytokines and prime adaptive T and B cell immune responses. In most cases, this process is capable of resolving the infection. However, in some cases, an excessive immune response occurs, which can cause severe lung and even systemic pathology. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41577-020-0311-8. The driving force behind SARS-CoV-2 is the S protein. While there are attempts to treat this in therapies developed by doctors there does not appear to be any acknowledgement of this by the administrators of the mRNA shot. Concentrations of the S protein produced by the mRNA medication appear to open victims to the same are maybe even an increased threat depending on how their body reacts.

RECOVERY

Prevent long term damage to lungs.

N-acetyl cysteine(NAC) is helpful in repairing damaged tissue among other things. I found that this site went into sufficient detail for me: https://www.webmd.com/vitamins-and-supplements/n-acetyl-cysteine-uses-and-risks. It is used by the body to build antioxidants. Antioxidants are vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that protect and repair cells from damage. You can get NAC as a supplement or a prescription drug but it is not found naturally in foods. There are risks and interaction with other drugs can be hazardous. If you take any medicines regularly, talk to your doctor before you start using NAC supplements. They could interact with blood thinners and certain blood pressure medicines.

CONCLUSION

I was listening to an account on the Dr. John Campbell channel of a person named Kyle. He was given the PFIZER shot, within days developed complications and was rushed to the ER. The doctor in the ER told him there was nothing wrong with the shot and recommended psychiatric counsel. Kyle left an sought out a real doctor who diagnosed him with myocarditis, a common side effect of the shot, and told him that if he was a bit later he might not have recovered. I was very, very, very disappointed again in the medical fraternity. My background is with computers and this brought to mind how powerful computers can be with x number of cores, and y terabytes of ram with quantum processors but they cannot go beyond their programming. In a very real sense even the janitor is more powerful because he has a spirit and can choose to go beyond. Not all doctors that swore to first do no harm are real doctors because a real doctor has a heart for it, a heart that drives them to go beyond their programming to find the best remedy for every patient. Real doctors recognise how wonderfully and fearfully made the human body is and how superior it is to the tinkering of man. Untested mRNA concoctions is tinkering. Another instance that is cause for concern is the issue of ventilators https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/04/11/when-coronavirus-kills-its-like-death-by-drowning-and-doctors-disagree-on-best-treatment/. From early on several nurses were complaining that the ventilators were killing patients. The disdainful response was racca. Now that the tide is turning there is no apology for the dead. Not all doctors are the same. If you are afraid and feeling helpless it is not your fault. There are people who have been trained and paid to tell you the truth, the WHOLE truth and nothing but the truth. Some of them actually live up to that.

Why is the jab so dangerous?

I do not know all the reasons why and that seem to be the point. Nobody KNOWS. One thing that was explained to me among the however many other reasons is what happens when the body begins to produce a burst of spike protein. I would have mentioned the endothelium earlier as a thin membrane that lines the inside of the heart and blood vessels. Endothelial cells form a single cell layer that lines all blood vessels and regulates exchanges between the bloodstream and the surrounding tissues. Signals from endothelial cells control the growth and development of connective tissue cells. The spike protein has three components and one component specialises in attaching to cell walls. The explanation that I have been given is that when it does that en masse in the endothelium it (1) blocks the passage and (2) forms like a barbed wire obstacle that damages the blood cells as they pass and causes an inflammatory response. This is how they create blood clots and myocarditis. The point is that real doctors understand these things. They attempt to understand the threats that their patients face.

Another common criticism of the shots is that the immunity that they provide is far inferior to the one that God provides but they outperform the God-given immunity, they bully your immune system. I am not going heavily into criticism in this article because the objective is to praise God not deal with the evils of OWS.

Godly Principles

There are two basic principles that I use as key to dealing with the covid19 protocol.

1. The body is the temple of God.

  • the mRNA is a trial, an experiment.
  • do we really know what it is doing?
  • do we really know its full effects?

2. Stay away from appearances of evil

I Thessalonians 5:22 [KJV], Abstain from all appearance of evil.

The problem that we see here is a repeat of what the Children of Israel did at Sinai. Because the lost sight of Moses (a man) they could not see God even though He was in the cloud and the pillar of fire. They decided to solve their problem by doing what everybody else did, and especially the big country Egypt. God had told them to come out of that but, as they saw it, because it was big and important it had to be right. Christians are following men even though God clearly shows us that this is something evil. It is the closest thing imaginable to the mark of the beast. God tells us that is evil and so this has to be evil too.

bullying

In the Bible this situation is described as bondage as the whole Israel or individuals were repeatedly oppressed. It such a common occurrence that there is a word for such oppressors today that is directly out of the Bible: a philistine. Typically Israel had enough sense in the Bible to cry out to God instead of accept it or even praise it as is currently being done.

lies and half truths

When someone says that God has sent a plague on the earth and the only protection is a concoction made by man are they telling the truth? If they are lying who are they lying about? It is God! Can Christians do that without remorse? Is that fear of God?

IS THE JAB A GODLY APPROACH

God said that His way is tried and perfect. Can you say that about the mRNA jab?

Psalms 18:30 [KJV] As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

Have we tried and tested the jab way?

A godly approach is one that shows fear and honour of God.

The first line of defence against the corona virus is vitamin D. Vitamin D comes from sunlight. How do we get God's preventative help if we are under lock down? God's help is excluded. They do not want it even though it is already there and is potent. Is the lock-down encouraging a godly support system or a system of separation and alienation? Is it really focussed on assisting the poor and vulnerable? Is it based on truth or money? What about zinc and other remedies that God has provided which are without side effects? Are we honouring God when we ridicule them and praise a jab that does not even work? We cannot serve God and mammon.
