In all honesty, it is quite likely that the US will ultimately reach herd immunity.But I think you're missing what their argument is. They'd say that the unvaccinated are being responsible for creating the spin off viruses of covid. I'm not saying they're right but that's what they're believing.
Without any evidence the media has been scaremongering this world into believing that the unvaccinated must be treated badly, and what happens? Tons of people happily comply!
Can you see how convenient for the vaccine makers and how strange that after thousands of years of humanity fighting flu's now everyone needs to be vaccinated before we can beat the virus?
And so we have it, vaccinated brothers and sister frightened of the unvaccinated - satan did such a good job separating us from one another. You have to give him credit for doing that.
If you are having irrational fears or intrusive thoughts about the government wanting to kill off a bunch of people, please see a professional.
Carl is right in what he has said here. I too have lost friends and relatives over this, and I expect to loose most, if not all of them.Exactly why do you say you're facing loosing friends? Because of you pulling away from them or they you? And what do you mean they are not in healthy fellowship? I'm surprised you would say this Carl. Maybe you can clarify?
And that is exactly why those who remain are called a Remnant, meaning fewer people than were expected.Very, very, few people are like that as Christians. Most acknowledge it's not a salvation issue.
Grant, O Lord, to your people, through the intercession of Your Servant, Blessed Anthony of Padua, the grace to prevail over the powers of darkness, through Christ our Lord, Amen.So if perchance you look at the evening news and are disheartened by it, don't be!
Let's look at a bit of reality, shall we?
God has told us that we all have one destiny here on Earth: to live and then to die.
With few exceptions, this has been true.
But for Christians, there is no need to fear death!
So please, can we stop letting fear conquer us, or lead us into unwise decisions?
Our days are numbered by God, and He knows what will happen, and when our last day will be.
That said, please don't let fear guide you. Let your hope in God rule your days one by one.
Don't think ahead and worry, put your trust in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit (The Comforter that we all need now!).
Christ always said that this loosing relationships would happen if people chose to follow Him, so we shouldn't be surprised that it's happening.
Following Christ is going to cost us something. It always has, and this time that choice will bring division between friends and family and co-workers.
This time the choice is to vaccinate or not.
The one difference is that this time there is an individual choice to be made, and that choice cannot be undone.
So are you equating taking a vaccine as not following Christ?(/quote)
Nope, I am saying that there are many influences in the World.
It will cost you something in some families and some careers if you aren't vaccinated. The question is God REALLY saying to people you're not following me if you take a vaccine? Now that's another matter.
And for some to say to be vaccinated is a choice against God and that God is somehow now put off with them I'd say is extremely presumptuous. He may be telling people entirely different than what you think.
Are you talking about possible ill effects from taking a vaccine. Yes it can be undone in one split moment of time God can give one immunity from any ill effects. Mk 16:17,18
the vaccines do not protect people from getting Covid or from spreading it.
Viruses don't mutate purposely to elude vaccines. On the contrary, as known variants are more effectively vanquished by vaccines, they open up the possibility that a new variant may take the fore. And the most successful of variants will naturally be less effected by whatever vaccines/treatments are being currently utilized.In reality the virus mutates just as much in its effort to escape the vaccine working witihn so many people.
Normal flu is not nearly so contagious and deadly as COVID. If we allowed as many people to be infected with COVID as typically are infected with flu, there would be a lot of dead people ...i know flu's have been mutating for thousands of years, that is completely normal, every doctors knows that, and has absolutely nothing to do with unvaccinated people making things worse

This goes the other way just as much. Maybe its not a vaccine thing but a human thing that the vaccine is just exposing on both sides.Many of those who have embraced the antivacc position are not in healthy fellowship...
Folks who embrace the conspiracies flying around, become subject to fear and pass it on to others.
Can you substantiate that? I think an argument can be made that those who embrace the mandates do so because they are subject to fear. And pass it on to others in a big way.Folks who embrace the conspiracies flying around, become subject to fear and pass it on to others.
