I endorse this 100%.
Reasons why a Christian might consider declining vaccines:
1. Because the vaccine industry exploits aborted baby parts as a commodity.
2. Because God designed your immune system perfectly to do the exact job it does, exactly how it does it.... not to be manipulated or improved upon.
3. Because your body was not designed to be pierced by a needle, nor to have foreign compounds injected into the muscle. It was not designed for this. Therefore there is going to be some sort of malfunction and compromise when this occurs.
4. Because Christians are instructed to “not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” If you do not have a disease today, you should not be putting yourself at substantial risk for the possibility that you MAY OR MAY NOT encounter a disease tomorrow.
5. Because the Bible states: “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.” And while this was a metaphor for spiritual healing, the same common sense applies.
6. Because for all the times that sickness or disease or infirmity is mentioned in the Bible.... the example and instruction almost 100% of the time is to pray and ask God for healing. God is our healer and protector. There are many verses that repeatedly show physical healing as a gift from God, which we receive by faith.
7. Because in all of the Levitical instruction for disease management and prevention, we see examples and laws pertaining to quarantine, washing/cleansing, and dietary precautions. We never ever see an instruction for intentional exposure to build immunity, such as the ancient practices of inoculation attempted by other cultures.
8. Because there are several verses in the Bible that show natural salves, balms, oils, and things from the earth being used as a means of healing/medicine..... But yet we know that metals such as aluminum were placed in the earth’s crust, naturally occurring with silica and never designed for human exposure or ingestion. If God did not intend for us to consume aluminum, which is a known neurotoxin, then it would be common sense to a believer that He did not intend for us to inject it - and that there would be biological dysfunction if so.
9. Because we know that God scattered the human race and confused their language simply due to their efforts to build a tower to the heavens. How then do we think He feels about our efforts to manipulate and create viruses in a laboratory, and to attempt to trick the immune system through processes we don’t even fully understand?
10. Because not a single vaccine ingredient is healthy, life-giving, or nurturing to the body. Each ingredient, on its own, is toxic and detrimental. You can’t create health from poison. It goes against God’s biological design.
11. Because vaccines have inherent risk and are unavoidably unsafe, which means a certain portion of infants and children will die or become seriously injured. The Christian faith doesn’t ignore victims and support child sacrifice as collateral damage for the ‘greater good.’ Each individual has value and deserves equal worth in regard to loss and harm. The Bible says that the good shepherd leaves the 99 for his one lost sheep.
12. Because if you would not buy and ingest vitamins made from ground up dead baby parts to keep yourself healthy and prevent disease, then you should also not inject dead baby parts into yourself or your children to prevent disease.
13. Because if you believe that you can control whether or not you die by manipulating the immune system that God created with trickery and unnatural processes.... then you also believe that God is not sovereign.
14. Because we know that men who don’t trust in the Lord are inherently wicked, serving the prince of this world.... satan. Therefore it should be obvious to us that pharmaceutical executives in a billion-dollar industry are not working for the good of mankind and would be motivated by greed. “And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience....” It would be foolish to ignore the implications of a godless industry that profits the most when the MOST people are sick. “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.”
15. Because once you let fear control your actions and put your trust in something other than GOD for your wellbeing - you are more than on your way to accepting a MARK that requires you to submit to an earthly regime for provision of your health, wealth, and security.
Would be interesting to know the source of this.
ReplyDeleteYou do know that good members of the LDS church will faithfully get their shots and any preemptive measures. The Church's position is always to follow your doctors advise, before we can expect God's assistance. This is core to the Church's approach to anything to deal with the living in this world. Another good example is being permissiveness of liberal leaning professors at BYU. Also, curriculums needs to coincide with the rest of the County's standards, which I consider to be at odds with our values and the intents of the US Constitution.
Some would say, the Church's reaction to not being accepted, being outsiders to the rest of the world for so long and wanting to appear as being mainstream.
What's interesting is how the Church has put much emphasis on preparing for personal revelation in Conference talks, and still I see people still following the old traditions.
I see big Pharma as being part of the Deep State, that are led by Satan whose goal is not just making money but in controlling us, and slowly killing us off. Degrading our bodies causing so many to sacrifice all their savings, homes, all they have accumulated at the end of life to an overpriced health care industry.
Doctors are subject to AMA and FDA who are funded or corrupted or controlled in some manner by the Deep State. Doctors cannot suggest homeopathic remedies, anything prescribed must fit within a tightly controlled protocol requiring drugs of some sort.
Makes me sick to think these practices are contaminating people, children all people and there is so little that I can do. I don't know why people can't see these things. I see many more people who I consider to be more spiritual and worthy of revelation than I, who are smarter and more capable, and why do they not see? The only difference I cans see, is that maybe I have paid more attention to these things over the years slowly coming to an awareness.
I think this is more fear mongering than anything else. I'll admit that there are some consequences with a vaccine in some small groups of people and those genetic abnormalities can be quite sensitive to the chicken pox vaccine. But as one who works in the pharmaceutical industry, 99% of all vaccines have been proven effective in preventing the disease, except the flu which is more like 60-70% (but that is due to the changes in the flu viruses going around at the time the vaccine was produced). I understand the feelings of being force fed something from the government but measles, rubella, diptheria, wooping cough are all very serious diseases that can kill the most innocent so it's part of a governments job to create laws to protect us even if it feels forced. I have concerns on Hepatitis vaccine but that's more from a low probability of getting an sexually transmitted disease than anything else and usually it's not as forced as the basics vaccines are anyway. As a scientist I feel that we have come a long way in safe-guarding our children's health by creating these technological wonders. We don't abandon cars because of accidents/fatalities but we try to improve them and make them safer. If we look at lives saved and injuries prevented over the number of lives lost or injuries created by the use of vaccines it becomes quite clear that we are doing pretty good at the keeping within the framework of the hypocratic oath.
ReplyDeleteI thought I would print my daughters response to my posting this as an example of mainstream LDS thinking.
ReplyDelete2. What of people with immune deficiencies? By this same logic it would mean that our bodies are perfect and not in a fallen state. And yet here we are - dying of cancer, catching the flu, and getting hang nails.
3. I haven’t malfunctioned from my immunizations given more than twenty years ago. And our body wasn’t designed to do a lot of things that we are now thankfully enjoying.
4. Immunizations do not put you at substantial risk - this is false information or hyperbole.
5. It’s called prevention. You let your dentist do preventative dentistry to protect your teeth from future cavities. You brush your teeth even. We wash our hands. You may not be sick, but we take measures to protect ourselves - that seems more logical to me.
6. Christ healed, yes. But he never said don’t use your own intelligence. Why not pray and do all you can that is in your power to get well?
7. So by this logic almost all of modern medicine is at odds with this point. Need a kidney transplant? Better not - it wasn’t explicitly mentioned in scripture as a remedy, I guess just die instead.
8. Aluminum is in our air, food, and water. Many things, if consumed in large amounts, are toxic. But the amount in immunizations are negligible and below levels considered toxic.
9. He did give us the power to procreate. We have our intelligence combined with our free will. I think God intended for us to innovate.
10. Immunizations train/trick your body into building and fortifying itself for something that is real, dangerous, and potentially fatal. And again, many benign things are toxic if they are consumed at high levels.
11. Everything has some level of inherent risk. And most doctors will not suggest vaccinations if there are preexisting conditions or a family history that put a child at risk to an adverse reaction.
People rarely come to a realization of things until older in life, sometimes very late in life or never.
