Well there are plenty of peer reviewed "scientific" studies and articles that support the idea that there are more than two genders? If we trust the "science" behind that, then God was wrong. God taught us definitively that there are only two genders, male and female. I would take God's Word over the fallible "scientific" interpretation of today. Especially since the only science involved in the covid mess and lgbtq world is "political science."

This is a false equivocation and completely ignores the data changes topics, and knocks down a strawman you just created

Would the lot of you stop the self-righteous posturing and just get vaccinated. For God sake, you put a Band-Aid on when you get cut, and perhaps, even, take a Tylenol when you're not feeling well. Tell the police officer all about your personal freedom the next time you get stopped for running a "STOP" sign.

This aged like sour milk. A nice reminder of where society was only a few years ago. Worth reflecting.

Since it has been a while since the angry post from Utroque, I thought we might post some facts and figures relative to this issue:

https://kirschsubstack.com/p/vaers-data-is-crystal-clear-the-covid

https://goodsciencing.com/covid/athletes-suffer-cardiac-arrest-die-after-covid-shot/

(A Utah woman and Utah senator are teaming up to get some answers after a group claims they've experienced life-altering injuries that they believe are from the COVID-19 vaccine)

I could go on and on and on and on showing what a monumental LIE from our government this whole "Covid 19 vaccines are safe" debacle is. And unfortunately, due to the sin of pride, so many people are unwilling to admit that they were fooled by our evil government and will cling desperately to any lie they can find that appears to support their agenda - i.e. that the vaccine really works , is really safe, and that drugs such as Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine are ineffective.

So be it. Y'all have fun with your vaccines. Just don't make me get it and don't come crying to me when you get dreadfully sick from the sick effects.

Christ is in our midst!

Edward H:

This is a highly touchy topic. I will only add that both my wife and I have had negative reactions to our second dose of the vaccine, exactly two weeks after receiving it.

I suffer from what has been diagnosed as "optical migraine." What happens is that one of my eyes in which I have a severe astigmatism will suddenly go blind without warning. The effect can last a few minutes or sometimes longer. There is no advanced warning. It is especially unnerving when I am driving and suddenly have no depth perception. My eye specialist says there is no cure but warned me that I could go blind in that eye with further doses.

My wife suffers from a neurological condition that no physician has been able to label. She will suddenly suffer what she describes as 1000 needles forced into the back left quadrant of her brain. Her knees buckle when she is standing. She says the pain is excruciating. It can last longer than a few minutes. It, too, comes without advance warning. She does not like to try to drive long distances.

We are three years past dose number two, these things continue, and no one can give us any relief or further explanation. We sent our experience to the government website that collects these side effects and we received a "thank you."

That is horrible to hear and must be difficult to bear. My family will say prayers for you and your wife Theophan.

I debated raising this thread back up from the past, but I really do believe it is important for us to hold ourselves, each other, and our hierarchs accountable for the things we say and do, especially in times of fear and uncertainty when we are told to cling to the hope of Christ more than ever. And especially among each other, with forgiveness and humility.

OTOH, my late mother took five doses of the vaccine and still developed COVID twice. She had no side effects. But, as my wife often said, "your mother is one tough cookie."

Have you found any helpful treatments or advice from medical professionals regarding the long-term side effects you and your wife experienced after the vaccine?

After almost three years, we still have the same result. There are no treatments. Tough it out.
