My friends, for those of you who are likewise continuing to resist getting the COVID-19 vaccine, please know that I understand exactly how you feel, and I can tell you that you are definitely not alone. Please refer to the new post I made here about an hour ago regarding the Kaiser Family Foundation poll. I think you will find it interesting.
But what I really wanted to share with you in this current post is the following.
In my case, my resistance goes beyond just the COVID-19 vaccine. In other words, my resistance did NOT just suddenly start with the COVID-19 vaccines.
For the record, it has been my personal philosophy, belief and practice for many years now to not put any more man-made chemicals, medications, etc., into my body than is absolutely necessary.
Currently, there are only two medications which I am forced to take on a daily basis, in addition to one vitamin supplement: an anticoagulant — due to previous incidents of DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) and Acute Bilateral Pulmonary Emboli — and a med to supplement my thyroid gland output. That’s it.
It is because of my personal philosophy that I would rather endure a headache until it passes, than take something like Tylenol, Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Aleve, Motrin, etc. Unlike a lot of people, I do not go to the medicine cabinet and pop a pill every time that I feel bad. It’s just not the way I roll.
Likewise, I stay away from all manner of popular opioids as much as possible, and I haven’t taken one in years now. They are simply nasty business, besides being highly addictive.
Perhaps most surprising of all is the fact that based on my recollection, I haven’t had a single vaccine for anything since I was a kid in elementary school over 55 years ago. Annual flu shots? Nope! I just don’t do it!
So as I said, this is a life philosophy for me. It is not just some sudden resistance to the COVID-19 vaccine on my part. It is an ongoing thing which I started many years ago.
The Scriptures inform us that our bodies are the temples of God’s Holy Spirit, and that we are to respect them and treat them as such, and not abuse them. That is why I also do not smoke, drink or use any recreational drugs.
What about you? Please feel free to share your thoughts below. Thanks!
