Common illogical misconceptions
  • NEWSTART/CELEBRATIONS vs vaccines
    • They are not mutually exclusive. Use both!
  • Ivermectin (https://www.google.com/search?q=fda+ivermectin+covid) vs Vaccines
    • They are not mutually exclusive. Use everything that has some hope of working. Decide according to outcomes of trials.
  • Vaccines Not FDA Approved (yet) for COVID-19
    • How about your preferred treatment/prevention?
    • That is how fair FDA is. No favoritism. Approval protocol not affected by pressure. Therefore only Emergency Use Authorization (at the time or writing).
  • "There is no evidence"
    • It is more accurate to say "we are not aware", "or we haven't taken into account any evidence", or "we have not found evidence".
  • Vaccines caused deaths/problems
    • Regulatory bodies will remove/ban/regulate all vaccines/medicines that are not worth the risk/benefit.
    • If the quiz (vaccine) causes problem, how much more when/if the exam (real virus) comes?
  • solution1 vs solution2 (many solutions don't fit in one's mind)
    • mask vs social distancing? no, use both
    • mask & social distancing & lockdown VS vaccine? no, use all of them
    • natural vs artificial? no, use all of them
  • failure to understand big numbers (big numbers don't fit in our small mind)
    • 5,000+ VAERS more understood than 4.3+million COVID-19 deaths
    • 5k+ VAERS more understood than 4.5+billion vaccinated

Hesitancy / Anti-vaccine / Conspiracy theories are not new. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine_hesitancy)


What to do?
  • Pray
    • because we don't know everything
  • Obey nature's laws (NEWSTART/CELEBRATIONS)
  • Follow health protocols

"save others by snatching them from the fire" Jude 1:23

Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near. Luke 21:28

Sabbath Cooking Excuses Investigated Copyright 2016 Winelfred G. Pasamba Foreword "God means that testing truth shall be brought to the front, and become a subject of examination and discussion, even if it is through the contempt placed upon it. The minds of the people must be agitated. Every controversy, every reproach, every slander, will be God's means of provoking inquiry, and awakening minds that otherwise would slumber."—Testimonies for the Church 5:453. ChS 159.2 This is a very difficult, very shaking, very testing, very new and controversial (for many who are not oriented) topic and I request the readers not go to Chapter 3 & 4 unless they have read Chapter 1 & 2.  If you go directly to Chapter 3, you probably will be highly uncomfortable if you have no testimony of avoiding cooking on the Sabbath. Readers need utter humility and gratitude-to-God, for this material not to offend them.  Love for God must be more than love for food, love for comfo
