false choices

False Choices of the COVID Facebook post 2020 06 26
        Do not say, “A conspiracy! A conspiracy!” Both choices are false.
        There is nothing like a conspiracy to divide a people. And if the cry of a conspiracy is to force the people to align with either of two false choices (see below), then the intent is pure evil.

        Jesus often was presented with false choices, but he chose a more excellent way. There is plenty of evidence that we have a more excellent choice than what is presented to us.
        Do not say, “A conspiracy! A conspiracy!” Both choices are false.

        First, we are told to yield our freedoms, or else we will fall victim to the COVID.
        We are to cower in our homes and hide behind masks when we venture outside, or else we will kill and be killed. Self-imprisonment and forsaking social interaction and work on the one hand, or we fall victim to the COVID on the other.
        Social distancing and masks are neither normal nor a new normal. They are fear-based reactions without substance in our daily lives. An economics paper points out that the Swedish model of allowing consumers to rationally decide benefits versus risks of social interaction, using such tools as social distancing voluntarily rather than by mandate, worked sufficiently well to limit the virus spread without lockdown. Sweden was praised after the fact by the WHO even though Sweden did not follow WHO requirements.

        Do not say, “A conspiracy! A conspiracy!” Both choices are false.
        Second, the medianites pronounce us helpless until there is a vaccine. Opening up is foolish: cases are mounting, climbing ever higher, and the world is unsafe. A cry goes out to the pharmers: Raise up a vaccine!
        Of course, the cumulative total is terrifying, never mind that the vast majority are asymptomatic, and that hospitalizations are down, and deaths have fallen, also.
        Our chemical cocktail savior is a COVID virus vaccine! Never mind that the CDC data show virus vaccines for flu are at best 50% effective (and probably much less).

        This second false choice of the disease or a vaccine has little on which to stand. We can see this by our experience as of mid-June when things are much improved already, or a scientific publication from almost 6 weeks ago for those who demand “science.”
        The magazine Cell published a report 5/14/2020 showing a high rate of natural immunity to the COVID. This was due to the body’s TH-1 immune response (vaccines focus on an antibody (TH-2) response). (Basically, TH-1 is an intracellular immune response and TH-2 is an extracellular response.) It seems the common cold has been a good teacher for the immune system according to the published study!!
        Antibodies are not necessary if the T-cells have already effectively protected the body against a virus. Absence of antibodies is NOT evidence of susceptibility. A great 1:16 video explains this – very well worth while!

        Do not say, “A conspiracy! A conspiracy!” Both choices are false.
        There is no conspiracy. Does fear or desire for power (both weaknesses are common to all of mankind) constitute a conspiracy? No, the alignment of sources of power for their own selfish benefit is not a conspiracy, merely lust for power.
        Each one grasps for the desire of the heart: safety or power.

        Do not say, “A conspiracy! A conspiracy!” Both choices are false.
        Fear is based on a model, a mathematical model made by men. What did they assume (ASS U ME)? Yes!
        We must wear a mask (be silent and anonymous) and social distance (not gather together, as in worship or discussion).
        The charge of a conspiracy implies that the choices are good and evil, but what if neither choice is good. Is blue on one end of the spectrum better than red, and red to be abolished?
        Red and blue are the extremes of the rainbow, and in the middle we find the green of life.
        The extremes each provide a spectrum of slanted light, but neither offers holistic benefits of diverse colors (which could bring up a whole different false choices issue…).
        To align oneself with the powerful, the expert, the haughty, does not ensure peace and safety for the fearful. Our power is given away for an illusion, the trade of perceived danger for literal bondage.

        As in Isaiah 8, we are presented with false choices: the COVID disease or restricted personal freedom. (Isaiah 8: Judah fears the alliance of Israel and Syria - should Judah ally with Assyria or fight alone? The correct answer is C: fear neither set of men for God will handle it.)
        If that sounds too harsh, consider what was lost to protect us from the COVID:
        1st Amendment (freedom of speech, association, and religion): Speech protesting or presenting alternatives to government recommendations and policies concerning COVID were deleted from the internet. Meetings, including religious gatherings, were prohibited. Protest COVID restrictions: No! Go to church: No! Protest murder of an arrested man: Yes! Loot: Yes!
        4th Amendment (prohibits unreasonable search and seizure): Requirements for testing for the COVID, requirements for electronic identification of vaccination (both mean testifying against yourself!).
        5th Amendment (right to life, liberty, and property): confinement to home without due process, closure of your workplace, etc..
        8th Amendment (prohibits excessive bail, fines, or cruel and unusual punishment): arbitrary requirement for business closures, loss of jobs, loss of access to non-COVID medical care, social stigmatization, etc.
        9th Amendment (rights not limited to the specific rights enumerated): The lockdown violated so many rights, it is hard to cover them all – how about the right to medical privacy, the right to a proper funeral, the right to enjoy fresh air and sunshine?
