Conflicted? Journaling my thoughts

Lately I have been praying about vaccination. I have been posting about it, trying to remain neutral but of the mind too that there is some use for them. Really I do not want forced vaccinations, ever, for any reason, no matter how many people are dying. There is something very unsettling to me about forcing medical procedures on anyone. Maybe its just me, but that is the stuff of nightmares.

I can understand compelling others to NOT HAVE a medical procedure more than I can understand forcing people TO HAVE them.

The problem is, I think people will get to the point that they will desire vaccine so much that they will do anything for it. That is even a scarier prospect to me for two reasons. One, I cannot fathom the impact of an illness so devastating that people would be clamoring for vaccine. Something like people back before MMR, DTP, and Polio vaccines, and antibiotics too felt about these new advances. Perhaps some of them thought that these drugs were scary. So maybe I am just too old fashioned after all.

When does our every day behavior cross over a line into idol worship?

For me, I found that line when a procedure would be so desired that in order to avoid death, disfigurement, or discomfort I would swear allegiance to anything other than my God. I never have come even a bit close to that.

And this is why I write now. I don’t want to ever even step in the direction of that line.

Many of our advances in the world of science and medicine have been intended for the good of humanity, to end suffering, to cure illness, etc. This still may be the intention of most scientists and researchers today.

But that are some really unscrupulous folks out there who will do and say anything to make a buck.

There was not so much greed back in the day. Something has changed.

Maybe I need a retreat or something but the advances being made today are coming more and more at the expense of the safety of the consumer. And then when it turns out that some of these things just are not all that good for us, we are already hooked on them. The jury is still out on cell phones.

What are we embracing? And why?

Now there are all these advances in vaccine technology which are not tried and true. We have reason to be concerned about adjuvants, it is not unreasonable to know all that we can about what we are having injected into our bodies and the bodies of our children, born and unborn.

I had a flu shot this year. I was not compelled into it and I didn’t have to jump through hoops

…..or bow down to a foreign god or anything.

Could that conceivably happen? I should write science fiction.

Then I don’t want to say anything because what if I think it’s one thing and it’s another thing altogether. So I wait for God to reveal all. But certainly a pandemic will be a time when there will be tremendous pressure on us all.

All in all, it is ethical and moral to not spread disease if we can stop it and getting the flu can be deadly.

Having gotten a flu shot this year, then getting the flu, this may be an indication that we are dealing with a flu that is not covered under the vaccine. This year was a really good match.

Getting the flu after having been vaccinated may be an early indicator of a pandemic strain.

 

So I leave all my thoughts on this out there flapping in the breeze.
