I read (with great interest) about a Congressional report showing that nearly every COVID-19 “conspiracy theory” was (in fact) true.  Most of what was banned from social media as “misinformation” was actually right on target.  After a two year investigation, the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released its 520-page report titled “After Action Review of the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Lessons Learned and a Path Forward.”  Among the findings of the report are these: The virus likely originated from a lab in Wuhan, China; lockdowns, mask mandates, social distancing, and vaccine mandates were not based on science and did more harm than good; natural immunity exists for COVID-19 as it does for other viruses; and Dr. Anthony Fauci played semantics with the definition of “gain-of-function research.”

 

Of course, we know that much of the abuse is connected with the “almighty dollar.”  Among the developed countries of the world, the U.S. has the highest per-capita pharmaceutical spending in the world. In 2022 more than $603 billion was spent on medicines in this country.  We have more than 20,000 drugs approved for marketing – and yet we are the sickest nation on the planet.  We have the most expensive healthcare system in the world, and yet we rank 42nd in life expectancy.

 

I also read with interest an article listing the recommended vaccines in this country.  In 1940 there were only two; by 1960 there were three; by 1983 it had jumped to 11; in 2021 it was up to 55; and, in 2024 it had reached 78.  The article had a very interesting statement near the end: “You’re quite deceived if you allow your child to get 36 untested injections that result in 50% likelihood of lifetime disability by the age of two years old from a company that has no liability!”  Some say pastors should not weigh in on things like this, but I happen to love you enough to take the risk to at least get you to think it through.
