Our PRIDE can easily stand in the way of seeing where we have been wrong; where we might have believed lies.
What the human being is best at doing is interpreting all new information so that the prior conclusions remain in tact. Warren Buffet
These ideas were inspired from a talk given by Amandha Vollmer as part of The End of Covid, a 90 part lecture series covering a wide range of topics. Her talk on Paradigm Shifts resonated and got me thinking. We can always benefit by reflecting on these concepts and asking ourselves probing questions.
We prefer cognitive short cuts. We don’t want to do the hard work.
A simple example, we read the product ingredients and compare products and conclude which is best so that next time we just reach for what we know. Or we trust the front label that says “all natural” and buy it without bothering to check the ingredient list. Or, we assume that if it is sold in the grocery store, it must have been approved and checked by someone.
We give special weight to information that allows us to come to the conclusion we want to reach.
It’s very uncomfortable to think about things we hold dearly. I know of people who have decided there is no hell because they have lost loved ones that were not in a good relationship with God. When we are faced with a challenge to our idea about something, we should ask ourselves, is there a reason I WANT this to be true?
Many highly educated people have such confidence and pride in their own education process – especially those with advanced degrees – that they automatically and unquestioningly accept conclusions by academics in other fields. They assume that the most highly educated and outspoken in a particular field must be right. They’ve been trained to respect the academic process. To challenge the legitimacy of an ‘expert’ in a different field challenges their own level of what they think they know in their own field. They automatically assume the person bringing the challenging idea “has no idea what they are talking about” because they are not ”trained in that field”. This is a logic fallacy. Ideas should be judged on evidence, not upheld because of appeals to authority or “the way it’s always been”. The more strongly held ideas in society are probably the ones that should be examined the most, but are often the hardest to be objective about – for instance, the shape of the earth and the origin of everything.
Studies are manipulated to prove what sponsors want to prove in order to achieve future grant money.
There are two outspoken [former] editors of scientific journals that both reach similar conclusions: up to 50% of all data and results published in ‘science’ can’t be trusted. But they are ‘Peer Reviewed’ everyone shouts. These editors describe how the peer review process has been corrupted. This leaves the average person struggling to know who or what to believe, especially in the area of what drug or procedure will actually bring benefits. There are so many voices, so much conflicting and competing information, what can I trust? Do I trust my dear sweet doctor who receives regular visits from Pharma reps, reads the medical journals, is trained in all the latest wonder meds, and abides by the “standard of Care” practices of their medical system? Do I trust those selling natural products and supplements?
Of special consideration for Christians…
There are evil people that want to deceive us. The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy.
But, God is greater and stronger and delights to give wisdom to His children.
[His servants] will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.
“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. Revelation 22:4-5; 14-15
The question is not “Do I love lies?” The real question is “HOW have I loved lies?” “Where in my life do I cling to lies?” “Can I fully seek and accept TRUTH?” “How can I draw closer to God, seek fully His wisdom and guidance, so that I am protected from lies?”
I just read this morning a wonderful promise from Jesus:
“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth.” John 16:13

If car seats had warnings about causing my child encephalitis, anaphylactic shock, SIDS, febrile seizures, chronic illness, lifelong neurological impairment, etc., I wouldn’t use them.
If my doctor told me to use the same car seat for newborns, toddlers, older children and adults, regardless of size or medical status, I would remember we don’t treat other products or medications as one-size-fits-all and I wouldn’t try to put an infant into a seat too large for an adult.
If my doctor said the exact compilation of harnesses, the direction the car seat is facing, and the type of car it fits into, all make the car seat not only safe and effective but necessary to prevent death, and then I found out they’ve NEVER studied the multiple factors together, AND that the car seat manufacturers had no liability WHATSOEVER for their products, I would question the knowledge and loyalties of my doctor and not follow the recommendation.
If I asked for more information on the car seat and my doctor gave me two pages that said the car seat works great, but failed to give me the full data sheets that showed the car seats were actually quite dangerous, haven’t been studied in babies, and have contraindications in many of the groups doctors use them in, I would at the very least find a new doctor.
If I knew the U.S. Supreme Court clearly declared car seats ‘unavoidably unsafe’ I would wonder why they aren’t making car seat manufacturers accountable for injuries and death, and I certainly wouldn’t make usage mandatory.
If I knew car seat manufacturer whistleblowers had come forward to expose data manipulation that implicated the manufacturers and the government agencies that recommended them, I wouldn’t use them and I’d call for a federal investigation rather than allowing the complicit parties to ‘investigate’ themselves.
If car seat ads accounted for 85% of mainstream media ad revenue, I would understand that they can’t be impartial with their reporting, I wouldn’t blindly trust their recommendations, and I would question all information supplied by mainstream media.
If car seat manufacturers continually paid out billions in civil and criminal fines for manipulating safety data, injuring and killing people with their products, yet the products were not recalled, I wouldn’t use them.
If car seat manufacturers used aborted babies in their manufacturing process, I wouldn’t use them.
If car seats caused the accidents they were meant to protect against, I wouldn’t use them.
If my child had a worsening reaction and decline in health every time I put them in a car seat, I wouldn’t use them.
If my doctor got paid an additional $400 every time I used a car seat, couldn’t tell me anything specific about the car seat, and saw these negative reactions following car seat exposure, but said it was ‘just a coincidence’, I wouldn’t use them and I’d get a new doctor.
If the available car seats used ingredients and schedules that were banned in other safer/healthier countries, I wouldn’t use them.
If I knew that after using a car seat my child might seem fine at first, but that car seats may cause infertility, cancer, mutagenesis, neurological damage and autoimmune diseases, I wouldn’t use them.
If people who didn’t use car seats were consistently healthier, I would at least do my own research.
If we weren’t allowed to do actual thorough standard scientific tests for car seat safety or ask ANY questions about them, if all dissenting views on car seats are censored — even personal accounts from parents who are direct eye-witnesses to the car seat damage — but the public is still urged, coerced and/or forced to use them, I would think maybe I should do some digging for myself instead of blindly accepting the research of the companies profiting from products known to injure or kill and for which they face no liability at all.
You can bundle the healthiest ingredients with the best of intentions, wrap them in poison and they’re still just poison. When you make an extremely profitable product liability-free, the result is that there is no incentive to make sure the product is safe or effective.
Don’t exchange liberty for a fallacious sense of security, especially at the expense of our children.

My first trip to Uganda was in 2014 when I accompanied my husband on a visit to Dominion Church in Kampala. My husband has returned many times to Uganda to minister to pastors and leaders.
In May 2023 I had the privilege of returning with him to Uganda and I was invited to speak to the women at Dominion Church’s annual Bible Faith Conference and at the annual Woman Believer Conference hosted by the Pearl Haven Christian Center in Mbale a town about 225 km or 5 hours drive away. Fully describing our experience in Uganda is impossible, but I wanted a place to store the four talks I gave to the women. I was thrilled to be able to minister God’s word to an eager audience and was blessed to witness life in Uganda and the faithful followers of Jesus persevering despite difficulties beyond our comprehension.
The ladies were a very encouraging and accepting audience and I praise God for the opportunity I had to share the Word of God. All the talks were translated into the local Luganda language so they take a bit longer to listen. You may want to change the replay speed to 1.25 or 1.5! I also must mention that the weather in Uganda was very hot and humid for us! The temperatures throughout the year are pretty stable and every day had a low of 19 and a high of 29 C (that’s 66-84 F). Because of the humidity, by the end of the talks most speakers are dripping with sweat!

Theme: ”For out of His fullness we have all received grace upon grace.” John 1:16
Day One Workshop for Women: Overcoming Challenges
Day Two Workshop for Women: Raising Godly Children
Pearl Haven Christian Center, Mbale, Uganda, The Woman Believer Conference
Theme: The Strength of Faith Hebrews 11:11
Day One: Seeking the Blessing of God
In this talk I include a short testimony of my journey to salvation through Jesus Christ. At the close of this talk I give an imperfect recitation of 2 Corinthians 4, a passage that has brought great encouragement to me. It was a thrill to be able to share God’s word and I pray it powerfully impacts people to have a hunger for God’s word and an understanding that it is possible to memorize it and hold it in our hearts.
Day Two: The Protection of Faith
At the close of this talk I give a recitation of 1 Peter 1 and explain how this passage brought me comfort and encouragement during 2020 and beyond as we witnessed an unprecedented world wide reaction which filled many with fear.

Calvin Robinson, an outspoken Anglican deacon from UK, presents some extremely articulate TRUTH in answer to the woke culture. I took some notes while listening to a speech he gave.
Many members of society – perhaps the large majority, share the views of Calvin but may straggle to express these ideas as clearly and don’t always convey the compassion we feel.
A man is a man.
A woman is a woman.
You cannot change your sex, it’s in the entirety of your DNA, in all of your chromosomes; It’s in your emotional state; your mental state; it’s who you are.
The idea that someone can be in the wrong body is a misnomer. You are your body.
God made man and woman in His image.
Are there people who feel gender dysphoria? Yes. Should entire cultures bend to their feelings? No.
We can have tolerance without affirmation. They can live in whatever reality they choose, but they cannot expect others to join their reality nor allow them to push their reality on others.
When we wholeheartedly accept a false reality, we participate in grooming children towards sexual perversions.
An entire industry has mushroomed offering hormones, multiple surgeries, and medical care that will be required for life. People are profiting from the mutilation of children’s bodies.
This assault on children is a monstrous, demonic, wickedness. We do not condone chid grooming towards perversion, debauchery and degeneracy.
Compassion for people does not mean affirming their mental challenges, especially in schools.
No boundaries – If you accept that people ‘identify’ as anything other than what God made them, the boundaries are endless. They can identify as other genders, as a child, when an adult. Allowing such people in schools to influence children is extremely dangerous for children.
Adults are the ones who must draw the line. Children are immature, have great imagination, and are naturally explorative. They need adults who can point them to reality. The loving thing to do for children is to protect them from assault – whether of body or mind, and point them to the truth. Children are especially loved by God. Jesus clearly stated a dire warning to anyone who would participate in the harm of children: “It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied round their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.” Luke 17:2
These are hard truths to express. Anyone seeking to follow Jesus has great compassion for those who have been tricked into harming themselves. We cannot truly love if we passively stand by and don’t share insight into this carnage.
What can we do? As followers of Jesus we can be ardently PRO FAMILY. Pro Biblical marriage. Support families raising children. Encourage the younger generations to have children and raise them to fear and honor God. Support and help families that are homeschooling. In everything seek to live for the glory of God and not in fear. “The god of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:4 We don’t hate the blind. We stand against the enemy, his servants, their works and the effects.

Most parents in the west have been led to believe that a fever is bad and when a baby or child gets a fever, there are appropriate ‘baby’ fever reducers that should be given. New parents are advised by doctors and nurses on how and when to give over the counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals to babies for a variety of reasons. Many parents feel that if they do NOT give their baby these ‘baby’ pharmaceutical products widely available at grocery stores and pharmacies, they are not ‘good’ parents. Because the medical profession has not understood the value of a fever, many parents have been led down a path that they didn’t expect – sometimes including longterm chronic illness.
What is fever? What is the appropriate loving response for a parent when their baby or child develops a fever?
“Giving Tylenol to a babe for fever is equivalent to shooting your own attack dog when he’s going after a home intruder! Fevers are important.”
Dr Larry Palevsky is a NYS licensed pediatrician, who utilizes a holistic approach to children’s wellness and illness. He has been promoting health naturally for decades and has discovered valuable information that he passes on to parents. The following points about fever are from his website, where you will find even more detailed explanation of the beneficial role of fever in childhood.
GENERAL GUIDANCE IF YOUR CHILD IS SICK: “Do less. Stimulate less. Speak less. Eat less.” “Drink more. Sleep more. Rest more. Breathe more.”
Stop your daily routine and encourage your child, and your family members, to rest.
Provide a safe and comfortable environment for your child to process the illness.
Encourage plenty of fluids (water, tea, broth, soup, breast milk). If your child is on formula, you may need to either stop the formula completely, or feed fewer ounces through the illness.
Turn the volume down. Reduce activity levels, noise, excitement, schedules, chores, and tasks to a minimum.
Turn the lights down. Maintain a calm, quiet, peaceful environment for your child’s nervous system to heal.
Stay indoors; play quiet games. Going outside can be too much of an energetic overload for your child’s body when sick, and may prolong and intensify the stress on his body.
Give your child a warm bath, several times per day if necessary, and stay with your child as much as possible. Lay low, and watch your child closely. Be mindful of cool or cold drafts when getting out of the bath.
Regarding supplements, it is best to stop most, if not all of the supplements that your child is taking. You will need to use your judgment in making this decision.
Do not force your child to eat. When children are sick or not feeling well, their digestive systems slow down. Food is one of the last things children are interested in when they have a fever or don’t feel well. Just ensure fluid intake, and don’t push foods. Their bodies will tell you when they are ready to start eating again. And, most importantly, avoid sugar, including juices, flour and dairy products, and fried foods, when your child is sick, as these foods tend to increase stress, dehydration, and mucus production in the body, which will prolong, or worsen, the course of illness.
Observe your child for mental status changes.
Please remember that the resolution of illness can take some time. The more patience you have, the more closely you observe your child, and the more you efficiently remove the stressors in your child’s environments, the greater you will impact the length of recovery for your child’s illness.
You may need to cancel plans, stay home, and not participate in previously planned activities so your child can rest and heal at home in her own comfortable, safe environment. The most important thing you can do as a parent is to provide your child with a safe environment in which healing can occur.
Make the first day your child feels better a slow day. Stay home and rest for the first 24 hours that the symptoms of illness have finally abated. Try not to rush back into the daily routine of life.
Re: Acute Illness: Dr. Palevsky often remarks that “children need to be allowed to experience symptoms of acute illness in order for their bodies to appropriately cleanse the waste and toxins from their systems, and so they can go forward in their lives toward greater optimal health and wellness.” Rarely does Dr. Palevsky ever need to prescribe antibiotics for children in his practice. On average, he writes one antibiotic prescription per year. This is because he has come to understand that most illnesses in children are not caused by infections, and therefore, don’t require antibiotic treatment. Dr. Palevsky recommends that parents read this section of his website in great detail so that they can better understand and address any perceived challenges to their children’s health.
Dr Palevsky has a lot of experience and includes much more helpful information on the details of the body’s detox process on his website, including information on ear pain, coughs, diarrhea and vomiting. Many parents find it difficult to act against their strong programming of “avoiding a fever at all costs”. They may feel that their child is suffering and all they want to do is give them some relief. However, the short term difficulty of a fever will build long term health. Taking a short cut – by giving fever reducers – is actually going to adversely impact long term health. The action of Tylenol reduces glutathione in the body – an important anti-oxidant containing three amino acids that helps in the detox process. Giving Tylenol (aka acetaminophen, Paracetamol, Panadol) can result in your child being sick for longer, as well as other harmful impacts that parents are seldom warned about:
Estimates suggest 90% of infants are given Tylenol (aka acetaminophen). Pregnant women are encouraged that Tylenol is safe to take during pregnancy. Yet, there has been virtually no thorough investigation of the neurological consequences. There are 16 human studies which suggest brain developmental harm from use in pregnancy.Read more of the potential harm from this commonly used OTC treatment.
I believe 99% of all parents ONLY want what is best for their children. Navigating the information and discerning what is truly best is not always easy. There are many forces competing for our attention, allegiance, and money. Every parent will benefit from tuning into their gut instincts, seeking God’s wisdom, and asking a lot of questions. Most of us were not trained in critical thinking skills in our ‘education’ and have been subjected to a lot of marketing and propaganda pushed on us as “health information.”
A wise person said, critical thinking is all about believing more true things and believing less untrue things. We will spend the rest of our lives honing these skills!
I’d love to hear your personal experience of nursing a child through fever. I’ve watched both my five children, and our nine grandchildren receive a lot of TLC when sick and bounce back quickly from most illnesses. Fever reducing meds were never a part of my home first aid kit!

Please heed this serious warning and share with other parents and grandparents. You may be bombarded with marketing information promoting this product for your child. Please consider that the product is:
My name is Robert Malone, and I am speaking to you as a parent, grandparent, physician and scientist. I don’t usually read from a prepared speech, but this is so important that I wanted to make sure that I get every single word and scientific fact correct.
I stand by this statement with a career dedicated to vaccine research and development. I’m vaccinated for COVID and I’m generally pro-vaccination. I have devoted my entire career to developing safe and effective ways to prevent and treat infectious diseases.
After this, I will be posting the text of this statement so you can share it with your friends and family.
Before you inject your child – a decision that is irreversible – I wanted to let you know the scientific facts about this genetic vaccine, which is based on the mRNA vaccine technology I created:
There are three issues parents need to understand:
The first is that a viral gene will be injected into your children’s cells. This gene forces your child’s body to make toxic spike proteins. These proteins often cause permanent damage in children’s critical organs, including
Their brain and nervous system
Their heart and blood vessels, including blood clots
Their reproductive system, and
This vaccine can trigger fundamental changes to their immune system
The most alarming point about this is that once these damages have occurred, they are irreparable
You can’t fix the lesions within their brain
You can’t repair heart tissue scarring
You can’t repair a genetically reset immune system, and
This vaccine can cause reproductive damage that could affect future generations of your family
The second thing you need to know about is the fact that this novel technology has not been adequately tested.
We need at least 5 years of testing/research before we can really understand the risks
Harms and risks from new medicines often become revealed many years later
Ask yourself if you want your own child to be part of the most radical medical experiment in human history
One final point: the reason they’re giving you to vaccinate your child is a lie.
Your children represent no danger to their parents or grandparents
It’s actually the opposite. Their immunity, after getting COVID, is critical to save your family if not the world from this disease
In summary: there is no benefit for your children or your family to be vaccinating your children against the small risks of the virus, given the known health risks of the vaccine that as a parent, you and your children may have to live with for the rest of their lives.
The risk/benefit analysis isn’t even close.
As a parent and grandparent, my recommendation to you is to resist and fight to protect your children.

Children are likely at a higher risk of injury from the ‘prevention’ than from the disease itself: Increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis, hospitalization, swelling of the heart. Longterm consequences on health and future fertility are unknown. Rates of reports of myopericarditis far exceed the expectations of the CDC.
Watch this one minute video where CARDIOLOGIST DR. PETER MCCULLOUGH EXPLAINS HOW MYOCARDITIS DIFFERS WHEN CAUSED BY NATURAL INFECTION. “Studies suggest the lipid nano particles from the vaccine go directly to the heart. The body attacks the heart causing dramatic EKG changes. A totally different syndrome after the vaccine. Vaccine induced myocarditis is a big deal… in children it is way more serious and prominent than a post covid [natural infection] mycarditis.”
For a disease that 99.9973% of children survive.
Again, what’s the point?
A product that no one is prepared to take responsibility for. The manufacturers, licensing bodies and promoters are all 100% liability free.
If your child is harmed, the entire responsibility rests on you – the parent.

Creative Writing based on 2 Corinthians 11 – an ancient letter written by Paul to the people of Corinth who were facing a conflict about who they should trust, who they should follow, who they should believe.
“But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the snake’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.” v3
For if ‘experts’ come to you and preach a salvation outside of Jesus, you put up with it easily enough. They offer ‘salvation through man-made technology’ or ‘salvation through man-made medicine’.
I don’t think I am inferior to your white coats. I may not have their intensive indoctrination —err training. I may not be eloquent, but I have knowledge. I have dedicated myself to focus on the topic of health and asked the Holy Spirit to guide me with insight and courage to share unpopular information. The U.S. has exported many things to the world. We even proudly export our ‘health care’ when we have an abysmal health track record.
I’ve never charged for my information. I share freely. My husband supports me marvelously.
WHO, CDC, NIH, FDA – these organizations (and many others) are the epitome of false prophets, deceitful workers, masquerading as bearers of truth. There may be some good people working in these places, but these significant agencies have been hijacked and captured by those who would profit from lies.
Are we surprised? “Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light!” v. 14
“It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.” v. 15
“You gladly put up with fools since you are so wise.” v. 19 You put up with fools who have status, degrees, positions. People who openly defy God yet proclaim their strategies as the hope of mankind.
“In fact, you put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or puts on airs” or injects poisons into your children. Or mandates poison so you can work, or travel, or attend events. Or forces you to deprive yourself of oxygen. You put up with it.
I admit that I am not that forceful. I will share what I believe to be true and encourage you to make your own decisions. I won’t tell you what to do. I will warn you of the harms of certain medical procedures that are being pushed on us. Get all the information you can and choose wisely.
Holding to the truth may mean you will be rejected by your own family, scorned, maligned. Stay anchored, unwavering from the hope in Jesus you profess.
Do I make mistakes? Yes. Do I know everything? No. Even now, I may be wrong, but you can absolutely trust that I am not lying.
Let God be praised and glorified as we seek the ONLY salvation and ONLY hope for our time, Jesus Christ.

Bee sting, cuts, scrapes, burns … things happen. Sometimes we seek medical care in an ER or urgent care. We are there for an informed opinion on our need for medical treatment, yet often the first issue we face is pressure to accept a tetanus shot. ERs throughout the country seem to have the same standard protocol to promote a “tetanus shot” for nearly every presentation. I’ve written about tetanus here, here, here and here. But I came across some facts that I wanted to collect and share.
Tetanus is the name of a sickness you get when the bacterium Clostridium tetani enters your body and flourishes (with a life cycle). C. tetani is an anaerobic bacteria meaning it can only live in the absence of oxygen. In the presence of oxygen tetanus cannot complete its life cycle to create the tetanus toxin which is dangerous. If a wound has bled and can be cleaned and aired, there is very little risk of this life cycle ever happening.
Before agreeing to a tetanus shot it is imperative to seek information on the true risk of a tetanus infection compared to the risk of harm caused by the “tetanus” vaccine. The CDC provides information on tetanus infections through annual reports. Vaccine adverse events can be found in the VAERS data base and the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) annual compensation reports.
In an 8 year study covered by the CDC mortality and morbidity report (2001-2008) 45 states reported 233 cases of diagnosed tetanus infection including 26 deaths. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6012a1.htm
Compare this to 791 deaths reported during this time period from a tetanus containing vaccine.
The Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) was set up in 1988 as a voluntary reporting system to track vaccine reactions. 155,830 adverse events and 2,676 deaths were reported following tetanus containing vaccines in children and adults. Updated statistics are available from https://www.openvaers.com/openvaers.
Admittedly, most vaccines are given in combination with many other vaccines so the harm cannot be attributed solely to the tetanus vaccine.
During 2001–2008, a total of 233 cases of tetanus were reported from 45 states; 26 were fatal.
An average of 29 cases was reported each year.
The average annual incidence was 0.10 per 1 million population.
C. tetani is ubiquitous in the environment (can be found everywhere)
Populations considered at increased risk for tetanus include persons with tetanus-prone wounds, IDUs (injection drug users), and those with diabetes and chronic wounds.
The findings in this report indicate that older adults are at greater risk for tetanus than younger persons, and the risk for fatal disease is higher among patients aged ≥65 years.
“Tetanus only” shots were once available, but are no longer offered because the manufacturers stopped production. The only ‘tetanus’ injection available in the US is a three in one shot containing diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccines. While many doctors, nurses, and ER staff will encourage anyone with a wound to get a ‘tetanus’ shot, the only shot available is the DTaP for children and the TDaP for adults.
There are many first hand reports of patients agreeing to receive a tetanus shot, but when the shot arrives, the vial is for DTaP/TDaP.
In conclusion, during 2001-2008 a total of 53,470 injuries including 791 deaths were reported from a tetanus containing vaccine to the registry within the United States government database while during the same time period, 26 died from tetanus infection.
The tetanus vaccine is heralded as the reason for the decrease in tetanus world wide, but this has never been substantiated. Documented Tetanus Mortality in England & Wales from 1901 to 1999 shows “the administration of the tetanus vaccine is likely to be pointless and puts children especially at risk of adverse reactions to the vaccines. Deaths related to Tetanus and tetanus incidents overall, sharply decreased long before the vaccine was introduced widely during World War II.” https://preventdisease.com/news/10/102510_vaccines_did_not_save_us.shtml#Tet_EngWale
Tetanus is ubiquitous: It is found on the surface of the body, in the mouth, in the gastro-intestinal tract, in house dust and clothing. It occurs extensively in cultivated soils. The organism lives as a harmless commensal in the gut of many animals, in addition to humans…
The geographical distribution of tetanus across the globe generally follows the areas of moist, warm climate and fertile soil — the highest rates occur in the developing world, particularly in countries near the equator.
Non vaccinated individuals can have tetanus antibodies due to natural exposure. 410 Indians demonstrate measurable antitoxin despite receiving no vaccines.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6114281/
There have been allegations that some vaccines targeting fertile female populations in underdeveloped countries contain human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) to prevent pregnancy. In 1993, WHO announced a “birth-control vaccine” for “family planning”. Published research shows that by 1976 WHO researchers had conjugated tetanus toxoid (TT) with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) producing a “birth-control” vaccine. Many priests have raised concerns regarding targeting populations in Africa, Asia, and South America to cause sterilization. https://www.scirp.org/Journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=81838, https://www.scirp.org/Journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=81838 and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12346214/
Many efforts to give vaccines to pregnant women state the purported aim is to reduce neonatal tetanus (NT).
“NT most often occurs through cutting of the umbilical cord using non-sterile techniques or applying non-sterile traditional remedies to the umbilical cord stump, but infection of the umbilical stump is not always evident. Deliveries carried out by persons with unclean hands or on a contaminated surface are also risk factors for maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT). Tetanus is not transmissible from person to person.”
Since neonatal tetanus is primarily caused by unsanitary cutting of the umbilical cord, education on better cutting and care of the neonatal cord would seem to be both beneficial and cost effective.
Standard of Care for Neonatal Tetanus as described by the WHO does NOT include giving a tetanus vaccine, ONLY giving tetanus immune globulin (TIG):
“NT remains an important global public health problem, particularly in settings with high neonatal mortality and among some of the poorest and most marginalized subpopulations worldwide.”
“NT is a medical emergency requiring hospitalization, immediate treatment with human tetanus immune globulin (TIG), agents to control muscle spasm (preferred: benzodiazepines), and antibiotics (preferred: metronidazole or penicillin G). A single intramuscular dose of human TIG is recommended as soon as possible to prevent further progression of the disease. If TIG is not available, equine-derived antitoxin tetanus serum (ATS), can be given in a single intravenous dose, after testing for hypersensitivity. Alternatively, intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) may be used.”
“The medical establishment chooses to turn a blind eye to the lack of solid scientific evidence to substantiate our faith in the tetanus shot.”
“When an old medical procedure of unknown effectiveness, such as the tetanus shot, has been the standard of medical care for a long time, finalizing its effectiveness via a modern rigorous placebo-controlled trial is deemed unethical in human research. Therefore, our only hope for the advancement of tetanus care is that further investigation of the ascorbic acid therapy is performed and that this therapy becomes available to tetanus patients around the world, if confirmed effective by rigorous bio-statistical standards.”
Tetanus incidence and mortality declined greatly before the widespread use of tetanus vaccine. (In excess of 99%)
The bacteria associated with tetanus is present virtually everywhere. However, when the human body does not present the bacteria a proper environment for growth, this constitutes a natural immunity to the tetanus bacteria.
The only preventives for tetanus are general good health and wound hygiene.
There is NO immunity to dirty wounds. Wound hygiene is essential.
Tetanus incidence in the vaccinated is about the same or higher than incidence in the unvaccinated.
Tetanus vaccine is not only ineffective but also toxic. It’s use causes numerous adverse side effects.
So, like all the other vaccine-related illnesses…is the illness truly rare, or are there simply lesser forms of it? Are vaccinated children truly protected from illness, or are parents and doctors too uninformed to recognize it?
“Five children aged five to 15 years contracted tetanus in Finland between 1969 and 1985, together with 101 adults. Four of the five had been adequately immunized against tetanus.”
“One half of an annual birth crop of the rhesus monkeys inoculated with tetanus toxoid at the age of one year had protective levels of tetanus antitoxin seven years post-inoculation. However, the immunization program had no significant effect on either the total or tetanus mortality rates during the study.”

The following 19 minute video explores the broad concept of terrain theory versus germ theory, the corona virus, the current experimental medical injection being widely promoted with an explanation of some of the ingredients, and the history of viruses as contagious from older books, papers, and experiments. I learned a lot. This is one of the best explanations of the flaws of germ theory succinctly explained that I have found. I’m not 100% sure that it’s 100% correct, but certainly worth a critical viewing.
Why you can’t catch a virus – great explanation
Critical thinking is about believing more true things and believing less false things. As we research medical and health claims we are often challenged by opinions, dogma, marketing, propaganda, and politics. Science has become a label but doesn’t always fit our understanding of the word. Most of us assume science is trustworthy. We assume science is based on clear evidence and fact. There are many excellent scientists seeking to understand, test, verify, and report on experiments. But there are also many using the term ‘science’ to support their business and marketing strategy.
Part of critical thinking is finding quality evidence. I found the evidence presented in the latter part of the video on early studies trying to show that polio and influenza were contagious very intriguing. Researchers went to extreme measures to try to transmit the virus from sick people to healthy, but failed to do so IN EVERY INSTANCE. You can read more about the experiments with Spanish Flu published on 2 August 1919 here. I find this particularly surprising in light of all we’ve heard in the media for the last 40 years or so, with heavier and heavier emphasis on infectious viruses in the last couple decades. In the video there is a reference to a documentary entitled Biochemistry Debunks Corona.

We may never know all the details that are at work behind the scenes in our brilliantly designed bodies. Exploring a variety of opinions and allowing ourselves to ask questions and consider answers is helpful before holding tightly to conclusions. Can you investigate two opposing ideas fully and fairly?
More and more health practitioners provide clear steps to health: reduce exposure to toxins, eat good clean food, get good sleep, get outdoors, find exercise you enjoy, maintain healthy relationships, and seek your Creator. Basically, reduce the yuk stuff of life, and add more clean stuff! The picture of the fish is a great illustration. ‘What can we do every day to help keep my environment clean?’ is a far better question than, ‘What sickness do I have and what drugs do I need to take to treat it?’
Another critically important question is, ‘If I’m healthy do I really need to inject this chemical concoction into my body to stay that way?’ You can explore more here.
Of course, ‘If my baby/child is healthy, do I need to inject him regularly according to a schedule designed by people with strong connections to an industry that profits from illness?’ is one of the most important questions a parent can consider. I’ve been researching and writing on this topic for years. I’ve collected information to help parents explore here.
Take your time. Explore evidence. Never make a decision on the basis of fear. The only fear we need is fear of God. When we truly fear God, we don’t fear anything else.
