JESUS NOT VACCINE

The recent pandemic and the production of vaccines has produced the upsurge of an army of Jesus loonies. 

Some weeks ago, we read of Pastor Tina of PNG Bible church in Mt Hagen telling us that the COVID 19 vaccine was the "Mark of the Beast. " Stupid man.

Prayer did not stop the millions of Europeans who died in the 1300s from bubonic plague. It was the germs on rats that infected millions of people. There were 70 million people who died from the Spanish Influenza in 1919.

Today, I met a man on the way to town who seemed to know me. He said that his place in life was to spread the love of Jesus. 

I asked if he supported the protocols of CoVID 19. He said he did not. Does this mean that his place in life is to be anti-medicine and kill silly people.

The vaccination of sick people and others began three hundred years ago with Dr Edward Jenner against smallpox. Do the Jesus loonies reject even this? Do they reject all vaccination in the name of Jesus? Do they not take their kids for polio vaccination?

Then there was Dr Semmelweiss who found a cure for puerperal disease in women about to give birth. He washed his hands to remove germs. He ended up in a mental hospital from stress from the medical loonies.

It is a novel, but it is an accurate telling of the life of the man who saved thousands of women by the simple act of washing hands. It is so sad that his contribution

Looney doctors at the time believed that disease was from the vapours that came through the windows. The story is in the book "The Cry and the Covenant". The name Malaria came from the term bad air.

The secret of cure is to strengthen the immune system through nutrition and build up of antibodies against a given illness. 

Prayer may help but it is not the answer to the cure of a plethora of diseases. Do the loony pastors reject antiretroviral (ART) drugs for HIV/AIDS? 

Of course it does not cure but builds up the immune system to attack the virus in the blood. Without ART, people die with or without prayer.

When the pandemic spikes in Papua New Guinea, the people who die will be those silly people with underlying pre-existing illnesses and no vaccination. Some were throwing rocks at health workers last week. Pray for them.
