Voice of America reported the following:

COVID-19 Herd Immunity Will Not Be Achieved in 2021, WHO Says

January 12, 2021

The World Health Organization is warning that mass vaccinations against the novel coronavirus will not produce herd immunity this year.

WHO chief scientist Dr. Soumya Swaminathan told reporters Monday that it takes time to produce and administer enough doses of a vaccine to finally stop the spread of COVID-19. Dr. Swaminathan stressed the need for countries to continue observing mitigation efforts such as mask wearing, social distancing and hand washing. …

There are nearly 91 million global coronavirus infections, including over 1.9 million deaths. The United States leads the world in both categories with 22.6 million infections and 376,280 deaths. India is second in total COVID-19 infections with more than 10.4 million cases and Brazil with 8.1 million, with both nations are in reverse order in fatalities — Brazil trails the U.S. with 203,580 deaths, followed by India with 151,327. https://www.voanews.com/covid-19-pandemic/covid-19-herd-immunity-will-not-be-achieved-2021-who-says

If governments would NOT have imposed lockdowns AND encouraged steps to improve individual immune system support, “herd immunity” likely would have occurred by now.

Instead, lockdowns and distancing is still the approach, while also hoping that using a new type of vaccine will work in the long run.

Here is information about the Centers for Disease Controls updated guidelines on COVID-19 protection:

CDC lists 7 things you should do every day to avoid COVID-19

January 11, 2021

Coronavirus infections in the U.S. have shot up nearly 40% over the last two weeks. …

The CDC’s guidelines read as follows:

Wash your hands frequently.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

Stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arm lengths) from other people.

Stay home when you are sick.

Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.

Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.

Wear a mask when you go out in public.

Masks should not be placed on young children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.

Beyond the basic safety guidelines above, Dr. Fauci in recent weeks has made a point of discouraging indoor gatherings. https://bgr.com/2021/01/11/covid-safety-cdc-tips-avoid-coronavirus-rules/

Basically, the CDC’s guidelines are to be afraid and do not go to church or work. That may sound a bit extreme, but that is the approach those who hold to the religion of secularism have been advocating.

Related to church, the States of New York and California (to name just two) took steps to try to prohibit church with their COVID-19 policies, yet those who attend church did better mentally than those who did not (see COVID Steps? ‘New Mental Health Survey Shows Conservatives Were Right: Church Is Essential’).

Now notice something I posted here and at Facebook last September related physical things people should do:

While government actions have been focused on masks, social distancing, and quarantining those not known to have COVID, a personally helpful approach would be encouraging people to:

Avoid biblically unclean meats,

Eat more fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C,

Fast regularly for those who can,

Consume foods high in zinc like pumpkin seeds or 100% food nutrient supplements which provide Zinc,

Get proper sunlight exposure for vitamin D,

Exercise regularly, and

Lose weight for those who are overweight.

All the above help support one’s innate immune system, which helps the body fight many types of pathogens–not just one.

Instead of doing the above, in places like the USA, more junk food has been consumed, many gyms have been shut down, many beaches and parks have been closed or limited, and many have gained weight during the lockdowns (see Using scale for weight loss? Americans gain weight during COVID-19 shut downs).

The idea of ‘herd immunity’ presumes that the ‘herd’ will have many with strong immune systems–something that mask-wearing does not truly promote, but that healthy living does.

Taking care to attempt to improve our health during a time with multiple strains of the coronavirus is something all should do.

Notice that the CDC has recommended NONE of those seven items, even though science supports them.

Furthermore, Facebook removed my post with that list.

For what its worth, I am a published scientist and the US Center for Disease Control’s Allergies and Infectious Disease unit (the one that Dr. Fauci heads up) twice concluded that my anti-viral research utilizing vitamins, herbs, and glandulars had “significant scientific merit.”

Yet, Facebook pulled my post with simple things that most people could do.

Of course, censorship and blocking views Big Tech does not want people to see is happening all over. Yesterday, I reported about Parler (see Amazon forces Parler offline–loss of speech freedom denounced by the ACLU and is consistent with an old WCG warning), last week Big Tech blocked US President Donald Trump and certain of his supporters (see Big Tech suspends Donald Trump, Parler, Sidney Powell, Michael Flynn, and shadow bans CCOG), and this morning I read that Twitter has suspended at least 70,000 accounts in the past several days (see https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/11/twitter-has-suspended-70000-qanon-accounts-since-us-capitol-riot-.html).

IF politicians, the mainstream media, and Big Tech were truly interested in the truth and IF they would listen to scientists with clinical success treating viruses and IF they were not interested in trying a totalitarian experiment, the lockdowns and damage to the economies around the world could have, to a great extent, been avoided.

Instead of telling people to try to help themselves, politicians, the mainstream media, and Big Tech have basically told people they can do nothing but hide in fear and hope for pharmaceutical companies to produce vaccines.

Another thing that the CDC has not emphasized is that those with strong immune systems not only are less susceptible to getting COVID-19, they are also more likely to survive it (particularly if they take supplements, including nattokinase) if they do get it.

Politicians, the mainstream media, and Big Tech have mainly been pushing their secular religion of fear.

Related to dealing with fear, the Continuing Church of God recently put out the following sermon on its ContinuingCOG channel:

Ten Plus Steps to Rid Yourself of Fear

Billions of people are afraid for many reasons, including COVID-19. Are any fears good? Are there mindless fears and phobias? Can autosuggestion be deceptive? Can you deal with mental torment? What are some causes of bad dreams (nightmares)? Does Satan try to exploit fears through his lies? Can the weak become strong? Were Christ’s disciples ever fearful? Are there biblical ways to deal with fear? What about spiritual fear and the ‘fear of God’? The late evangelists Dr. Herman Hoeh had an article published in 1955 titled ‘How to Conquer Your Fears?’ What are eight steps from the Apostle Peter? What did Jesus teach about worry? Are most Christians Philadelphian? What did Jesus teach about fear? What is the ultimate biblical fate for cowards? Here a the list of ten steps to help rid yourself of fear: 1. “Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy — meditate on these things” (Philippians 4:8). Changing your mental focus will help you push out fear. 2. Develop faith. “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17). 3. Add virtue to your faith in the power of God. You cannot hide your sins from God (cf. Psalm 90:8). 4. Add to virtue knowledge. Study the word of God, study CCOG literature, pay attention to sermons (ContinuingCOG YouTube sermon channel) and sermonettes (BibleNewsProphecy YouTube sermonette channel). 5. Add self-control to knowledge. Resist Satan and his hopes that you will walk by sight instead of faith. 6. Add patience to self-control. You may have to go through many tests and trials to build patience, but as you get through the tests and trials you should have the faith to recognize that God got you through them and that you do not need to fear. 7. Add godliness to patience. 8. Add to patience, brotherly kindness. “Let Philadelphia continue” (Hebrews 13:1). 9. Add to brotherly kindness, love. 10. Be courageous. “He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6). This is how YOU can conquer your fears and worries! Ask God for help to carry out His ten-fold plan to attain real peace of mind. Then there is also prayer and fasting. Yes, through God’s help you can rid yourself of fear. This sermon by Dr. Thiel covers these topics and more.

Here is a link to the sermon: Ten Plus Steps to Rid Yourself of Fear.

Christians should not live in fear.

And everyone, Christian or otherwise, can take real steps to help their immune systems.

Biological Warfare and Prophecy. Is biological warfare possible? Was it prophesied? Scientists have long warned that pathogenic organisms like the coronavirus could be weaponized. Furthermore, back in 2017, there were concerns that the biological research facility being constructed in Wuhan, China was risky and that a coronavirus from it could be released. On January 25, 2020, China’s President Xi Jinping publicly stated that the situation with the Wuhan-related strain of the coronavirus was grave. Did Church of God writers like the late evangelist Raymond McNair warn that engineered viruses (the “Doomsday bug”) were consistent with prophecies from Jesus? Did a warning from CCOG leader Bob Thiel warn about risks of genetically-modified (GMO) mosquitoes come to pass? Could human research and/or the consumption of biblically-unclean animals such as bats and snakes be a factor in current outbreaks or coming future pestilences? What about famines? How devastating have pestilences been? How devastating are the prophesied ones going to be? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more in this video.

COVID 19 is NOT the End, but could it be TEOTWAWKI? The novel coronavirus called COVID-19 is wreaking havoc around the world. Many states of the USA as well as countries in Europe are on lockdown with shelter in place /shelter in residence requirements. In France, a form is required when you are not at your house. In Spain, drones are being used to warn people who are outside to got back to their homes–does that bring up feelings of ‘Big Brother’? Italy, France, and other areas are using police and/or military force to encourage people to stay inside. According to the Bible could this be the end? If not, what has to happen first? Have the second and third of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse started their ride? Could COVID-19 be the fourth horseman? Why or why not? Could we be seeing The End of the World as We Know It (TEOTWAWKI) like the R.E.M.’s 1987 single song discussed? Do Christians need to fear? What did Jesus teach? What did the Psalmist teach? This is a video. Here is a link to a version in the Spanish language: Corona 19 no es el final PERO es el TEOTWAWKI.
COVID-19 Leading to 666? The novel coronavirus of Wuhan, China fame, is now called COVID-19. It has also been called the ‘Coronapocalypse.’ Does COVID-19 have any prophetic ramifications? What did Jesus teach about pestilences and sorrows in the Olivet prophecy in Matthew 24? Could COVID-19 be the ride of the fourth horseman of the Apocalypse? Why was this type of disease expected according to the O. Here is a link to a version in the Spanish language: ld Testament prophecies in Deuteronomy and Leviticus? What has the US Centers for Disease Control warned about? What has the CDC reported about the flu? Were there lessons about fear and infections in the 2011 movie ‘Contagion’? Because of COVID-19, the World Health Organization (WHO), nation of Iran, and certain French locations are telling people not to use cash, but instead electronic forms of payment. The US Federal Reserve is now quarantining money repatriated from Asia to reduce the potential spread of the coronavirus on US currency bills. Is COVID-19 worse than we have been told or could this all be a ‘false flag’ event to encourage people to move towards a cashless society? If the thousands of deaths associated with COVID-19 are pushing parts of the world towards cashlessness, how much more likely will the ride of the fourth horseman and over a billion human deaths motivate people to move to making electronic payments that can be monitored? The Bible tells of a soon coming society that controls buying and selling to force allegiance to a coming European Beast power, known as 666 (Revelation 13:16-18). Does the ‘great tribulation’ begin before ride of the fourth horseman or with the opening of the fifth seal of Revelation 6? Do the words of Jesus helps us better understand the sequence of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse and the start of the Great Tribulation? Will the ride of the fourth horseman help lead to the rise of 666? Is that ride very close? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more in this video. Here is a link to a version in the Spanish language: El COVID-19 ¿Conduce al 666?
