This blogsite very much reflects my passion for happiness, wellness, peace, and spiritual and emotional well-being. At the moment what concerns us all is wellness and safety from COVID19. That's the reality of the year 2020 to the present. It is my hope, together with all of you out there, that this pandemic whittles into thin air sooner than later. At this point I hope you agree with me that the more info we know the better we can fight this pandemic. Truly, that only confirms what the LORD always tells us in His holy book,
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge..." (Hosea 4:6)
Knowledge is gold - true in the Bible age and even more so in these times.
"The Law of Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of gold and silver pieces."
(Psalm 119:72)
We need all the wisdom, understanding, counsel and knowledge that comes from the LORD. The primary place to find those? It's the Bible, the word of God.
In the same way, it will do us good to know as much scientific knowledge on COVID, its treatment and the touted "vaccines" against it. So we are all eyes and ears on the news from the trusted tv channels, radio stations, newspapers, the worldwide web, social media. So much info! It's a deluge of information out there. How do we wade through, digest, curate and vet them all? Which ones are truly important, truly truthful, truly reliable and essential to bring relief and salvation from COVID? Wow, I used the word "true" so many times! I guess I'm wary of lies, hoaxes and flip flops.
I have waded through quite a bit of info - from the news agencies on the internet, YouTube, the social media, etc., and here's one gem of a vid I gleaned from the lot. This presentation was banned from Facebook but I believe in science where there are scientists having differing ideas at solving a problem. They respect one another, they discuss and evaluate one another's ideas and nobody's opinion is less valuable than that of others. I believe every expert's and researcher's ideas should be heard, especially at a time as this, when nobody seems to have the answer to this disease we're faced with. Scientists are also not afraid of people asking questions. In a science community they have what they call "different schools of thought" and they are all valuable contributions to the collective knowledge used in dealing with a problem. As they say, there are many ways to kill a cat. For example, on the origin of the species, we have both the Evolution Theory of Charles Darwin and the Creation Theory of the Judeau-Christian thought. When it comes to losing weight one can have a choice of doing the keto diet or the low carbo-high protein diet, the gluten-free diet, the pilates diet, vegetarian diet, etc. All are scientific and no one group of proponents denegrates or cancels the other. Even in food handling, there are many ways of preservation - by dehydration, canning, freezing, freeze-drying, pickling, etc. If I wish to go to the North Pole I can travel by land, by sea, by air or by all three. There are just so many ways of achieving the same end result in almost all facets of our lives. This is what we call academic freedom. It is simply the freedom to think on how to solve a problem. With COVID-19, many scientists, doctors and pharmaceutical companies say the way to go is by vaccines. But some experts, medical practitioners, administrators and researchers also say the better way is to do it through treatment. The debate goes on but sadly, the vaccine advocates seem to have steamrolled the treatment proponents down. Simply because they have more clout. The world governments are aggressively pushing the vaccines on everyone and they have withheld the available treatments from their peoples. Whatever happened to academic freedom and freedom of choice?
I am posting here a link to a 28-min info-packed video. Every minute of it is worth a listen. But if for any reason you can't access it, you have the choice of reading the transcription instead. I may have missed a word or phrase here and there - it is not perfect - but I believe I captured at least 95% of what the speaker said. I tried to stick to the word-for-word transcription of the lecture as much as possible. I also highlighted the points I consider important.
So, here goes. https://www.facebook.com/alyciacooley/posts/10224925405152258
