Coronavirus: Where is Your Common Sense? https://www.billkochman.com/Blog/index.php/coronavirus-where-is-your-common-sense/ Yes, folks, here I go again. I don't know what is going on, but this pandemic is really affecting some of my Christian brethren in a very strange way. I have seen so many posts and comments in my news feed, and on different Facebook pages in recent weeks, where instead of pointing their readers and visitors to God's Word to find the answers, some of these brethren -- quite a few of them, in fact -- are spouting off nonsensical conspiracy theories regarding 5G, Bill Gates, George Soros, the NWO and the Globalists, Agenda 21 and global depopulation, and other ridiculous stuff for which they can offer absolutely no solid proof. Of course, in their foolishness and delusion, they consider YouTube videos and information that they find on questionable conspiracy theory websites to be valid proof. SMH. If that is not enough, they are instilling fear in people with talk of martial law coming any day now, forced vaccinations with a microchip secretly embedded in it, and other fringe ideas. I find it all quite ridiculous, and sad. After all, aren't we supposed to be promoting God's Word? Isn't that why God called us into His Kingdom? That is, to be His emissaries? Isn't the Good News supposed to be found in God's Word? So why then are all of these misguided brethren delving into all of this worldly conspiracy theory nonsense? Is that going to win anyone to Jesus Christ? I seriously doubt it. It will just trap more people in the conspiracy theory net. As I said, it just fills people with fear and paranoia and deceives them. If you are wondering what set me off this time, well, I just saw a post in my news feed where a particular Christian friend -- who I have considered to be a bit strange and "out there" for a while now -- was berating other Christians simply because they are wearing face masks when they go out in public. According to this misguided individual, those of us who wear face masks don't truly believe in Jesus, because if we did, we would trust Him to protect us by not wearing face masks. At least that is what this person claims. To make matters worse, this same person twists the meaning of Roman 12:2, and claims that by wearing face masks, we are conforming to the world, and are full of fear. My gosh. Anyone with even an ounce of understanding and Spiritual Discernment knows that that is NOT what Romans 12:2 is talking about in the least. For those of you who are not familiar with the verse, here it is: "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Romans 12:2, KJV If you really want to know what that verse means, then please consider studying the following four KJV Bible Verse Lists on the Bill's Bible Basics website. Trust me when I say that the true meaning of Romans 12:2 will become very clear to you: "Battle of the Mind" KJV Bible Verse List: https://www.billkochman.com/VerseLists/verse217.html "Washed and Renewed Mind" KJV Bible Verse List: https://www.billkochman.com/VerseLists/verse071.html "Old Man Versus New Man" KJV Bible Verse List: https://www.billkochman.com/VerseLists/verse165.html "Worldliness" KJV Bible Verse List: https://www.billkochman.com/VerseLists/verse078.html This same person also made a slight reference to Psalm 91, and mentioned how if we drink poison, God will protect us. They also mentioned twice in their comments how if Jesus were here today, He would most certainly not be wearing a face mask. Well, yeah. I mean, after all, He IS the Son of God. In other words, in this person's mind, we should have the same level of faith as Jesus Christ. Yes, that would be nice. But quite frankly, I don't have that degree of faith. Do you? Can you move mountains or raise people from the dead? Can you even perform a simple miracle of healing? I can't.

So, no, I don't have faith like Jesus, and I am not afraid to admit it. So I will wear a face mask. I must tell you; I was floored by what I read. This person was basically condemning other Christians who don't have the same degree of faith as they supposedly have. I just couldn't believe that someone would be advising other Christians to not wear face masks when they go out. In recent weeks I have likewise seen multiple comments where different Christians on Facebook have openly stated that they will defy any curfews, lockdowns and other government-issued guidelines. What is wrong with these people? Well, I knew ahead of time exactly how this person would react, because I have dealt with such people before regarding this pandemic. Sadly, some of them have removed my comments, or unfriended me, or even blocked me completely, when I have tried to set them straight regarding their misguided ideas. At any rate, despite knowing this, I still felt compelled to try to get through to this person. So, I left them the following comment: ----- Begin Quote ----- I'll tell you what. Why don't you drink a bottle of bleach and let me know what happens. I'll be waiting. Seriously. You know full well that you are not going to drink a bottle of bleach, because not only do you not really have the faith for it, but you know that it will kill you. Not conforming to the world does NOT mean not wearing a respirator when people are getting infected by the hundreds of thousands around the world by the coronavirus, and dozens of thousands are dying from it as well. If you don't care about your own life, then please at least think of the others you might infect if you yourself become infected unknowingly. So be smart and wear a mask! That's called loving your neighbor as yourself, and preferring others. If they get sick because of you, is that love? You say we don't truly believe in Jesus because we follow the government's guidelines and take safety precautions? That is just a ridiculous comment to make. What you are telling people is both foolish, stupid and dangerous. Furthermore, the Bible says to NOT tempt the Lord. That is another reason why you should not drink that bottle of bleach. It is also why you should wear a face mask if you have to go out in a heavily infected area. I just can't believe all of the foolish, stupid, dangerous, crazy things some of my brethren are saying, as a result of this pandemic. Where is your common sense, people? ----- End Quote ----- Upon reading my comment, this person said that they were sorry that I was walking in fear -- which is the furthest thing from the truth -- and then they rambled on again about Jesus not wearing a mask, and something about people who fear will "enter fire and brimstone in the second death." Then there was something about "So-called Believers walking around with diapers" and "Christians walking around in diapers." I still have no idea what this person was referring to. Perhaps spiritual immaturity. I am not really certain. To be honest, their comments are rather disjointed, and they don't connect all of their thoughts very well. They concluded by telling me to stop saying that God's Word will not keep them safe, which I never ever said even once. In response, I then told this person the following: ----- Begin Quote ----- I am NOT in fear in the least. However, I DO know how to exercise wisdom and caution, while you obviously do not. Worse yet, you are leading others down your suicidal path with your nonsensical talk. Yes, we need to trust in the Lord, but we also need to give Him some COOPERATION, and exercise a little COMMON SENSE. Let me leave you with a verse for your consideration. It in fact talks about protecting ourselves from harm, lest we suffer the consequences for our foolishness and lack of action: "A prudent ‭man‭ foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished." Proverbs 22:3, KJV ----- End Quote ----- As I said earlier,

this is not the only person who is making outlandish comments during this pandemic which are potentially harmful and dangerous to others. The following day, another person came along and added their two cents to the discussion. Here is how they responded to the aforementioned person, and then to me as well. To protect the privacy of the original poster mentioned above, I have replaced their name: ----- Begin Quote ----- You need to stay in center of road on this. Christians who are carnal and not filled to overflowing with Holy Spirit need to protect themselves with masks. Christians filled with the Holy Spirit don't need masks . . . Would Jesus need to wear a mask? Would Peter and Paul need one? . . . [This person] is partially right and partially wrong. They assume all Christians are walking in that high place in God and filled to overflowing with God's Spirit. Only a small remnant walk in that power and anointing which Peter walked in where even his shadow brought healing to people who came near. However, [they] should not tell average carnal Christians not to protect themselves against Covid-19." ----- End Quote ----- Can you believe it? So according to this person, any Christian who gets the coronavirus must be a carnal Christian who lacks faith. Well, sorry, but personally, I am no Jesus, Peter or Paul. Are you? So friends, that is just another example of the nonsense I have seen coming from my Christian brethren since this whole COVID-19 pandemic began. I am tired of seeing all of this conspiracy theory talk coming from my brethren. I am tired of seeing all of the defiance they are exhibiting. And I am also tired of the bad advice they are giving to others. Sadly, short of snoozing their comments, or unfriending them, there isn't much else that I can to in order to stop seeing their ridiculous posts in my news feed. For those of you who may have possibly missed some of my previous coronavirus-related writings, following is a list of everything I have written to date regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. I believe that you will find a lot of useful, factual, instructive and Scriptural information in this material. Please feel free to share this list on your own timelines, pages, in your Facebook groups, and on any other social networks where you happen to participate. Thank you so very much, and God bless you!

Coronavirus: Latest Statistics on Bill's Bible Basics Blog https://www.billkochman.com/Blog/index.php/coronavirus-latest-statistics-bills-bible-basics-blog/ NOTE: Be advised that due to the ongoing situation regarding the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, this blog post will be updated frequently, as my time permits, until world health officials determine that the virus has peaked, and is on a steady downward trend worldwide. CORONAVIRUS LATEST STATISTICS Last Updated On: Saturday, February 27, 2021 Last Updated At: 01:24 PM ChST (Chamorro Standard Time/GMT+10) Total Countries Infected: 192 Please note that the accuracy of the figures which are shared in this BBB Blog post is based on two things: 1. The honesty and accuracy of the governments and health institutions which are reporting these statistics. 2. The level of testing which is being conducted by each nation which contributes statistics to this list. Having said that, because some nations have been very slow to conduct tests, and/or have a very limited number of test kits in their possession, it is most probable that the figures listed below are far below reality. In short, the more tests each nation conducts, the more accurate these statistics will become over time.

COVID-19: Attention iOS Users! This May Be of Interest to You if You Use the "Maps" App! While Apple guarantees our personal privacy on our iOS devices, if you use the "Maps" app on your iOS device, you will probably want to be aware of the information which is available at the following two Apple links. This first piece of information was published by Apple on April 14, 2020. Apple Makes Mobility Data Available to Aid COVID-19 Efforts: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/04/apple-makes-mobility-data-available-to-aid-covid-19-efforts/ This second link is for downloading the complete "Mobility Trends Reports" data set which is generated by concatenating data from the Apple "Maps" app on your iOS device. This data is generated when you request directions from the "Maps" app: https://covid19.apple.com/mobility For the record, it was reported in our local newspaper today that our local government is now using the aforementioned data to track movement on our island in relation to the spread of COVID-19. While Apple clearly states that this mobility data is not associated in any way with our personal Apple IDs, nevertheless, it does leave me with an uncomfortable feeling. Personally, I never use the "Maps" app. However, you may. Thus, I am sharing this information with you so that you are aware of it. For those of you who may have possibly missed some of my previous coronavirus-related writings, following is a list of everything I have written to date regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. I believe that you will find a lot of useful, factual, instructive and Scriptural information in this material.

Helpful Tips Regarding Using Face Masks and Respirators https://www.billkochman.com/Blog/index.php/helpful-tips-regarding-using-face-masks-and-respirators/ Some people say that face masks and respirators provide adequate protection against being contaminated by COVID-19, while others say that they don’t work. So what is the truth regarding this matter? There is actually truth in both statements. N95 and FFP3 respirators do work. However, there are several things that the user has to do in order to ensure that they work as intended, and provide the protection that one needs; namely these: 1. Make sure that you have the right size mask for the size and contour of your face. A medium-size mask will fit most people. 2. Make sure that you are wearing the mask properly so that it fits snugly against your face. Some respirators — such as the ones I have — have a small metal strip across the nose bridge so that you can mold that part of the mask close to your nose so that there are no gaps between the mask and your skin. 3. If you have a beard or a mustache, you will probably have to shave it off; as otherwise, the mask will not seal properly on your face. 4. While wearing the respirator, do NOT touch any part of your face with your hands, particularly your nose and your mouth. 5. Most respirators should only be worn for a few hours and then discarded; not only because they become moist from your breathing, but also because if you are working in a contaminated area, the mask will eventually become saturated with contagions. 6. When it comes time to remove and/or discard the mask, be very careful how you do it. Try to just touch only the straps as you remove it, as otherwise, you could unknowingly end up getting the virus on your fingers. Then, when you inadvertently touch your face, such as your mouth or your nose, you will end up infecting yourself. 7. If you are living in, working in or temporarily visiting an area where there may be infected people or contaminated surfaces, in addition to making sure that you are wearing your face mask properly following all of the previous steps, wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water, or else use wipes that contain at least a 70% alcohol solution, or use rubbing alcohol with a non-alcohol-based wipe of your choice. If you fail to carefully follow the previous recommendations, then no matter how expensive or high quality your mask is, you will still become infected. For the record, despite how careful they are, it has already been reported that some health care workers have in fact been infected by the coronavirus. That is just how virulent and aggressive COVID-19 is when it comes to transmission. So be careful, be conscious of what you are doing at all times, and follow the above guidelines, as well as the guidelines which are issued by your local healthcare officials and government authorities. And, of course, pray for God’s protection. I hope that the above tips help. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

No End to the Covid-19 Nightmare in Sight? Dear friends, as I warned only a few weeks ago in this post which can still be found on my Bill’s Bible Basics Blog . . . https://www.billkochman.com/Blog/index.php/covid-19-president-joe-biden-just-gave-the-green-light-now-watch-the-avalanche-of-forced-vaccinations-begin/ . . . when President Joe Biden gave the green light which mandated that all federal employees be vaccinated or else face forced regular testing and wearing face masks, he set in motion a trend which has now — in a matter of only a few weeks time — avalanched into the private sector as well, and is affecting all of our lives to one degree or another. As we all know by now, many areas of the private sector have likewise picked up the vaccination ball, and are running with it as far as they possibly can, as can be easily seen by daily news reports, online videos and commentaries, etc. Whether they are big corporations, smaller businesses, universities, public school systems, or other establishments and entities; they are all now requiring that those people who either work for them, or who interact with them in some other way, be vaccinated. Tragically, those people who continue to resist being vaccinated for whatever their personal reasons, are being faced with negative — and sometimes very difficult — repercussions, including the potential loss of their employment. Obviously, that is the very last thing that such individuals need during this troubling time. However, as I pointed out in a previous post — in which I even cited a Washington Times news article — that has been the plan all along. The government openly admitted that it wanted to make life difficult for unvaccinated people. So now we must ask ourselves exactly how far this can go. Well, it seems that we now have a clear answer. If you have been closely following the latest COVID-19 news and developments, then you will already know that for some time now, there has been talk of the potential need for vaccine booster shots for certain individuals. That has now become a reality, as is evidenced by the following news article: https://www.foxnews.com/health/fda-covid-19-booster-vaccine-immunocompromised My concern is obviously the following. While government and health/medical officials are currently stating that only immunocompromised individuals need to be concerned with getting vaccine booster shots, how soon will that change? Folks, let’s be honest about this. At least here in the United States of America, if there is one thing we know with certainty, it is that since the pandemic first began, the narrative which has been presented to us by government and health officials has changed continuously, sometimes almost overnight. Granted, to be fair, to some degree, in the beginning this was to be expected. After all, little was known about the nature of the virus, and we were still learning about it. However, now we are a full seventeen months into this pandemic. The point is that the pandemic situation has become so confusing, that many people no longer even trust their own governments, and have lost faith in their health officials’ pronouncements as well. For example, Dr. Anthony Fauci — who is the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in the USA, and the Chief Medical Advisor to President Biden, as he was previously with President Donald Trump — has lost all credibility with many Americans, due to his ever-changing narrative, and what are believed to be his questionable ties to the Wuhan virology lab in China, and the gain-of-function controversy. But can we really blame them for their lack of trust? My gosh, even at this late date, we are still not being told the full truth regarding the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus which causes coronavirus COVID-19. On top of that fact, as I already said, the narrative is constantly changing. For example, first it was masks on, then masks off, and then masks on again. First we

were told that the vaccines would be voluntary, and now they are slowly becoming universally mandatory. But that is not all. First we were told that the vaccines would protect us from getting COVID-19, and now it turns out that even double-vaccinated people can not only still get the coronavirus, but they can even pass it on to others, because their nasal viral load is just about as strong as in unvaccinated people. Furthermore, there are also recent accounts which claim that some people are getting COVID-19 as a direct result of being vaccinated. And it doesn’t end there either. First there was just one COVID-19, and now there are multiple mutations and variants, even more powerful than the original strain. So as I have now said a few times, the narrative we are being given is constantly changing. That being the case, why should we believe that booster shots will be limited to just immunocompromised individuals? Well, I will give you one good reason why you should not believe it. Once again, if you have been paying close attention to the latest developments, then you will probably already know that the latest pandemic spikes are said to be a result of the delta variant which is currently sweeping the world. There is also some chatter regarding the lambda variant. But there is more. It has now begun to leak out that the vaccines — particularly the Pfizer vaccine — are losing their potency or effectiveness against these newer strains of COVID-19. In fact, just yesterday I was reading that the efficacy of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine against the delta variant is down to just 42%, while the efficacy of the Moderna vaccine against the delta variant is 76%. If you doubt my word, please read this article: https://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/moderna-covid-vaccine-76-effective-against-delta-pfizer-42-study-121081201173_1.html Now folks, it doesn’t take a genius to figure this out. We already know that virus mutations are real. They adapt according to the environment they are in, and new strains, or variants, arise which are stronger and more resistant to anything we throw at them. As a result, they also become more transmissible, exactly as the delta variant has done. So who is to say that at some point in our not-too-distant future, a new coronavirus variant won’t arise which is even more resistant, and more transmissible — or contagious — than the delta variant? My friends, this is a very real scientific possibility. This is not some wild conspiracy theory. The truth is that no one should be surprised by this possibility. Do you know why? Because scientists have known about this potential threat — and warned about it — for literally decades now. In fact, I first broached this subject of drug-resistant superbugs myself back in 1999 in my 14-part series entitled "Fulfilled Prophecy: The Beginning of Sorrows", which you can read at the following URL, if you desire to: https://www.billkochman.com/Articles/sorrow01.html So, it is for that reason that I personally seriously doubt that the necessity of vaccine booster shots will remain limited to just immunocompromised individuals, despite the current claims being made by government and health officials. They have constantly changed their story about everything else, so why not about this as well? I believe that it won’t be long before they will be saying that EVERYONE needs to receive booster shots, because the current vaccines were NOT designed to combat these new, more powerful variants. They were designed to combat the ORIGINAL strain. That is why there have been so-called “breakthrough” cases. That is why vaccinated people are still able to get COVID-19. That is why vaccinated individuals can still infect other people. That is why some people — no matter how small the number — are still becoming very sick, and even dying, after being vaccinated. So again, I do believe that in the near future, booster shots are going to be required — and quite possibly mandated — for EVERYONE. Not just once either, but multiple times at periodic intervals.

As this pandemic continues to ravage the world, we may potentially see more powerful variants arise on the scene; variants which will resist and weaken the current vaccines even further. This will of course require that new and more powerful vaccines be manufactured. In conclusion, I honestly don’t know how this will end, or when this will end. It seems to me that we may possibly be locked into a never-ending cycle. At this current time, my personal impression is that we are not winning the current battle against SARS-CoV-2, what with our vaccines weakening, and new variants arising. However this all eventually ends, I hope that your heart is right with God our Father, and that you have received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. https://www.billkochman.com/Blog/index.php/no-end-to-the-covid-19-nightmare-in-sight/?feed_id=77146&_unique_id=650fce56bc32b&No%20End%20to%20the%20Covid-19%20Nightmare%20in%20Sight%3F

COVID-19 Vaccines: Your Choice, Not Theirs! My friends, several days ago I made a post which included statistics from the VAERS — Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System — on the U.S. government’s Health and Human Services website. You can find my previous post here: https://www.billkochman.com/Blog/index.php/covid-19-at-least-7000-american-deaths-have-occurred-after-receiving-the-covid-19-vaccines-according-to-vaers/ Likewise, you can access the U.S. government’s VAERS reporting system — which is managed by the CDC and the FDA — at the following URL: https://vaers.hhs.gov/index.html The aforementioned statistics reveal that as of July 30, 2021, more than 12,300 American citizens have died after taking one of the three FDA emergency-approved COVID-19 vaccines. Note: Please read the VAERS site’s disclaimer to understand their interpretation regarding how statistics should be understood. You may or may not agree with them. Please note that originally, after conducting a VAERS search of my own, I personally came up with a figure of almost 7,000 deaths. However, apparently, I was conducting the search incorrectly. As such, my total for the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was about 5,000 lower than it should have been. Setting the search criteria is a bit complicated, after all. By the way, if you wish to conduct your own search, you can do so using the VAERS “WONDER” tool at the following URL: https://wonder.cdc.gov/vaers.html Furthermore, as of that same date — July 30, 2021 — over 545,000 adverse events had been recorded in the VAERS system, after taking vaccines. Stated another way, we are talking about more than 545,000 NEGATIVE REACTIONS occurring after taking vaccines — some more serious than others — and that includes only the ones which have actually been reported to VAERS. Some people strongly suspect that the numbers are probably a lot higher than that. But, my friends, think about that figure — 12,300+ deaths. That figure is more than four times the number of people who died as a direct result of the horrific events which occurred on September 11, 2001. So why isn’t the U.S. government constantly throwing the 12,300+ figure in our faces? I will tell you why. Because unlike the almost 3,000 people who died during 9/11, the 12,300+ figure has no positive political capital. In other words, that almost 3,000 total deaths figure from 9/11 gave the government power to psychologically manipulate the American public, so that they would not only support the so-called “war against terrorism” for two decades, but the 9/11 death toll also convinced American citizens to “temporarily” surrender some of their personal freedoms via the “Patriot Act”. But that is not all. The 9/11 death toll was also used to convince many Americans to support the ill-conceived and illegal invasion of, and war in, Iraq, which was primarily based on the WMD lie. I discuss this topic at length in some of my articles on the Bill’s Bible Basics website at: https://www.billkochman.com Lastly, it is in large part because of the 9/11 death toll figure constantly being thrown in our faces — what do you think the “Remember 9/11” mantra is all about? — that America has engaged in the obviously unwinnable and futile war in Afghanistan for so many years, as recent news reports regarding Taliban military victories have clearly revealed. The Russians learned their lesson. What about us? In contrast to the 9/11 death toll figure, the VAERS vaccine death toll figure — even though it is at least four times greater — doesn’t give the government power to manipulate people in the direction that it wants to take them. That is, to convince everyone to get the vaccine. Quite to the contrary, that 12,300+ figure is NEGATIVE political capital, because it clearly shouts out FAILURE and DANGER. It is an alarm call to people to BEWARE, because something is not right, and that something is in fact seriously WRONG! Thus, the government, and some of its agencies, and certain

medical and pharmaceutical entities try to minimize the figure, to de-emphasize its importance, and to play it down. You certainly don’t see the liberal mainstream media screaming headlines regarding 12,300+ people dying after taking the COVID-19 vaccines, do you? That says a lot! It is as if to say that the almost 3,000 people who died during 9/11 was a big deal — and they certainly ran with it as far and as long as they possibly could — while these 12,300+ people who have died after taking one of the COVID-19 vaccines, and the hundreds of thousands more who have suffered other non-lethal negative effects from the vaccines, are not as important! Think about that, my friends. And remember. Even as I type out this commentary, those figures continue to climb by the day, as the COVID-19 vaccines continue to negatively affect more and more people. Yes, according to the American government and its medical/health agencies, many millions of American citizens are being spared from the worst effects of COVID-19 — including from death — due to taking one of the vaccines. However, that does NOT mean that we should simply ignore, play down, or hide the fact that for many people, taking the vaccine may be just as risky as actually getting COVID-19, because either way, they could possibly end up DEAD, or at least just as sick as if they actually had COVID-19! In fact, if the stories are true, I have read accounts in recent days where it has been said that some people are actually getting COVID-19 as a direct result of getting one of the vaccines! Folks, we already know — because even the U.S. government has confirmed it — that the current vaccines do NOT prevent a person from getting COVID-19. Neither to they prevent a vaccinated person from passing COVID-19 on to someone else. So, if these vaccines are actually giving some people COVID-19 as certain accounts state, then that is just the icing on the cake, and it further highlights the inefficacy, and the danger, of these vaccines. Are these vaccines possibly doing more harm than good despite government claims? Returning to my previous point, my friends, for some people, it may be a light thing to say “Well, what is 13,000 people lost compared to millions of people who are saved from COVID-19’s death grip due to the vaccines?” Yes, that may be easy to say for some people. But what if those 13,000 deaths included members of your own family? Would you still feel the same way? I bet you wouldn’t. Tell me something. What if 13,000 people suddenly died in your town or city after taking one of the vaccines? Would you still just sit quietly by? As I have stated in previous posts, in the end, it is YOUR body. As such, in my view, it is also YOUR right, and ONLY your right, to decide whether or not you wish to take the vaccine. Don’t you agree? In quite an opposite manner, isn’t this the very same argument that is made by pro-abortionists? So why shouldn’t it apply to the COVID-19 vaccine situation as well? In effect then, isn’t the government and their supporters practicing a double standard when they say that women have the right to choose whether or not to get an abortion, while they deny us the right to accept or reject having a questionable vaccine injected into our bodies? At the very least, it is hypocritical. Given the known serious risks which have now been clearly associated with these vaccines — as even the government’s VAERS website clearly reveals — my personal position is that neither the U.S. government, nor any other entity — federal, state or local — has the legal right to force anyone through mandates to take any of the available COVID-19 vaccines. After all, to do so is to knowingly condemning certain individuals to death, no matter how small the number. My friends, we are people, and NOT guinea pigs. Yet, whether you realize it or not, that is exactly what we become when we accept vaccines which have not been adequately tested over the long term, or fully approved yet. We BECOME the experiment!

In fact, even when the vaccines are approved by the FDA, given the FDA’s record and known internal corruption and bias, I STILL won’t trust the vaccines! As for me personally, as I have mentioned before, due to my own health situation — among which is the fact that I take a daily dose of an anticoagulant (blood thinner) to prevent the re-occurrence of DVT or Deep Vein Thrombosis, which is blood clots in my legs, and the re-occurrence of Acute Bilateral Pulmonary Emboli, which is blood clots in all nodes of my lungs — I will continue to resist getting the vaccine. On a side note, it may interest some of you to know that while I am currently in my late 60s, due to my personal philosophy and beliefs regarding my body and medications, I have not had a single vaccine since I was a kid in elementary school, when my parents last had jurisdiction over my body for such things. No, I do not get an annual flu shot or anything else for that matter. Concerning my own health issues, as the VAERS website reveals, on some occasions, the vaccines do result in different types of thrombosis occurring. No matter how small, the risk IS there. Does it make any sense then that I should take a daily dose of an anticoagulant to prevent thrombosis from occurring, only to then turn around and take a vaccine which could quite possibly result in thrombosis? To do so, in my view, would be pure madness. Even though I am considered high risk for getting COVID-19, I have thus far endured 17 months of this pandemic without incident, and without a vaccine. As such, I will continue to trust God for my health and safety. Furthermore, as much as I dislike wearing a hot, restrictive face mask, out of respect for others, and because masks are still mandated here — indoors and outdoors — when I am out and about, I will continue to wear a face mask, and social distance as well. However, I will NOT be vaccinated! In conclusion, we each have our personal reasons regarding why we don’t wish to take the COVID-19 vaccines. Your reasons may be different from mine, but that is not what matters here. What does matter, is that we are NOT denied the ability to make the choice on our own, through governmental bullying via draconian mandates, or through public shaming, ostracism and ridicule.

COVID-19: Why It Is Morally Wrong to Mandate Vaccines As many of you will already know if you have read some of my previous posts and the comment threads under them, some of my friends here are in favor of getting the COVID-19 vaccine, while others are not and do not support it for various, in my view, very legitimate reasons. Sadly, both the present U.S. administration and certain health officials — you know who they are — have used this situation to further divide people, so that now considerable hate and animosity has been directed at people who refuse to be vaccinated for whatever their reasons. As I have stated in previous posts, whether or not one gets the vaccine is a very personal choice, and this choice should NOT be taken away from us through forced mandates, because then we become a dictatorship and are no longer truly free. Furthermore, if we allow them to force the vaccines on us, then they will be emboldened to pressure us further, and force on us whatever else they please, because we will have already shown weakness under pressure. That is a very dark road to go down, my friends. But what I really wanted to say to everyone is the following: Just because you personally got the vaccine and are currently fine, does NOT necessarily mean that everyone who gets the vaccine will be fine. In fact, as I am sure many of you are already aware, that is most certainly not the case. By their own admission, both the Biden administration, the CDC and others have candidly stated that literally thousands of people have ALREADY suffered negative reactions to the vaccines to varying degrees. Some have even died from taking the vaccines. My friends, this is NOT just some wild conspiracy theory coming from some crazy person. It is verifiable medical fact which has been clearly confirmed by people both in the government, and in the medical profession. That being the case, how can anyone ridicule and shame those of us who refuse to get vaccinated? How can anyone — the government, medical professionals, business conglomerates, small businesses, universities, schools, etc. — in good conscience pressure and force any of us to get vaccinated, when they know that it might quite possibly end in tragedy — including loss of life — for some of us? To me personally, it is like playing a game of Russian Roulette. You just never know who is going to get the bullet, but someone always does, because that is the nature of the game. Does anyone have the right to force us to take a vaccine which might seriously sicken us or even kill us? Despite their seemingly scientific explanations and their seemingly logical reasoning, I think not! As I mentioned in a few previous posts, I am more afraid of getting the vaccine due to potential negative side effects, than I am of COVID-19 itself. As it turns out, a recent poll revealed that this is in fact true of a majority of American adults who currently remain unvaccinated. We are talking about millions of people, my friends. Are we all wrong for feeling this way? Again, I think not. In my particular case, I ALREADY have breathing issues and longterm lung damage, due to the fact that in recent years I have suffered from two bouts of DVT — Deep Vein Thrombosis, or blood clots in my legs — which the second time around led to Acute Bilateral Pulmonary Emboli. The latter means that I had multiple blood clots which had traveled up my legs and into every single node of my lungs. I was in very bad shape, it was very painful for me to even breath, and I could have easily died if any of those blood clots had traveled to my heart or to my brain. As a result of the aforementioned, I am now on an anticoagulant — or blood thinner — for life, to hopefully prevent any additional blood clots from forming in my body. This has greatly restricted my diet for reasons I won’t get into here, created problems with being able to take certain other drugs, and other issues. By the way, everything I have stated here regarding

my health can be confirmed by hospital records and by my personal physician, who incidentally respects my decision to not take the vaccine. Now, are any of you reading this aware of the fact that one of the known negative side effects of taking the vaccines is in fact thrombosis, or the formation of blood clots? If you don’t believe me, look it up for yourself. Blood clots is the LAST thing that I need; and as I said, that is precisely why I have been taking daily doses of Warfarin for a number of years now. So tell me something. Do you honestly believe that the government has the moral right to shame me, to pressure me, and to force me to take a vaccine which could very well bring on the very thing I am fighting against, and which could potentially kill me? Do they have the moral right to take away my freedom to choose for myself when it comes to the issue of the COVID-19 vaccines? Now with me, my decision to refuse the vaccine has to do in large part with DVT, Acute Bilateral Pulmonary Emboli, damaged lungs and breathing difficulty, and the potential for thrombosis. With someone else, it might be some other medical condition. But here’s the thing. Even if there is no concern for any current medical condition, as I have stated before, in my view, no government or health agency has the political, medical or moral right to nullify and take away our right to choose for ourselves when it comes to deciding whether or not to take the vaccine. No matter how scientifically sounding, or medically sounding, or logically sounding their reasoning may seem, when it comes to our bodies, we alone have the right to make the final choice. Not them. This is my position regarding this issue. You can agree or disagree as you each wish, but I will not debate the issue with anyone. https://www.billkochman.com/Blog/index.php/covid-19-why-it-is-morally-wrong-to-mandate-vaccines/?feed_id=76516&_unique_id=650e67d703261&COVID-19%3A%20Why%20It%20Is%20Morally%20Wrong%20to%20Mandate%20Vaccines
