Hi John and doves,

I am wondering if all the drama with both Covid and the vax is a massive distraction
to take us all away from focusing on God and the Gospel.

For us in Sydney, we have not been able to go to church physically for over a year, though
part of that is personal specific issues, there have been a few months where the doors were open.

I am on the edge of getting the vax due to family pressure to help the family and community.
(though my biggest fear is that we both get damaged and so can't take care of the family - please pray)

I have at least peace that it is not the mark of the beast, which would need hand/head/worship beast.

In my top level research, eg looking at Israel and the UK, it seems that 999 out of 1000 people are OK after the vax.
Then there are 1 in 1000 that have long term issues with the vax
And about 1 in 1000 that have issues from Covid.
So I can see that a health leader in a government has to push the vax even with the 1 in 1000 damage, as then they will be
seen as doing something, even if the results end up approximately the same.

As for all the negative posts/videos about the vax, eg from natural news, some of them may be true, but some of them are just
clickbait to bring more revenue to those sites.(thanks Fay for your last weeks note with a similar idea)

Will there be long term damange for the other 999 people from the vax?
- eg I have read things like - it could destroy your immune system, it could give lots of micro blood clots that damange slowly later, it
could have nano particles that damage.

It may be bad, or it may fizzle out like Jade Helm that a few years back was supposedly the start of all things bad.

At present, I am trying to focus more on God and the bible, and read less negative stories, and pray, and I may get the jab. (please pray for wisdom!)

The whole arguement has been divisive in my family, and I really do not know if this vaccine is just "normal bad like other drugs", or something
bad on a big scale.
I have no doubt that the devil has bad things planned in any case at a higher level, so anything is possible.
I also take comfort in a prayer session yesterday where I got the feeling that we all may be gone before my vax appointment.

The other thing in all of this is that I am realising that there are 2 groups of people. Those who read about conspiracy theories, and believe
that there is a high likelihood that they may be true (like me), and the other group who get angry at the idea that people even read
conspiracy theories.

After all, as the tagline to the movie says "it is not a conspiracy if they really ARE out to get you!"

Maybe there is a personality type which is "more trusting of authorities", or "less trusting of authorities".

There is one answer to it all - Please Jesus, come back soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
