Greetings. This is Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church with a moment of truth where we challenge you to think through an important issue of life and faith. And today, I have experienced symptoms after taking the COVID vaccine, but it wasn't the vaccine. Now, I really haven't taken the kill shot, but many in this position have said things like this, right? Americans who have taken the vaccine are experiencing in great numbers adverse effects, but refusing to acknowledge that it is the vaccine causing them.

Oh, the Stockholm syndrome has captured many where indeed we identify with our captors and we sympathize with them. Or indeed, maybe even darker, we've been brainwashed into thinking that the vaccines are indeed safe and affected. Perhaps we say, after taking the vaccine, I suddenly came down with chills, my body shaking uncontrollably, feeling very weak. Has this happened to you? But it wasn't the vaccine.

After taking the vaccine, I began menstruating heavily. Not me personally, but many women have indeed said this has happened to them. I began menstruating heavily with blood clots and my period didn't go away, but it wasn't the vaccine. Or after taking the vaccine, I began experiencing blood clots in various parts of my body. Now, this is male, female, right on down the line, but it wasn't the vaccine.

Or after taking the vaccine, I suddenly came down with these awful flu-like symptoms as if I actually had gotten the flu, but it wasn't the vaccine. Or after taking the vaccine, I began experiencing allergic reactions. Oh, like anaphylactic shock from a bee sting, perhaps, or bleeding issues, or anemia, inflammation of joints and tissues. But it wasn't the vaccine. Or this has been reported too.

After taking the vaccine, I haven't been the same, just haven't been the same. I feel generally depressed and despondent. I don't have any energy. I can barely function for part of the day and certainly not for the whole day. But it wasn't the vaccine.

All of these issues are being reported after taking the vaccines. All of them pushed by Pfizer, AstraZeneca, the Moderna, and the Johnson and Johnson vaccines. Excuse me. They're all taking their toll on the American population in the most massive lab experiment ever conducted in the history of mankind. People are getting sicker, not healthier, after taking the vaccines.

But it's not the vaccines. What is happening to the lemming-like soul of America? We're trusting more and more in man's contrived cures than in the hand of the great physician. Psalm 103 says, bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me. Bless his holy name.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagles. That is true health and strength. It comes from God. Indeed, we are given helps. Modern medicine is indeed a help, but it's not the only thing that indeed heals our diseases.

We have been given just a God-given, beautiful, blessed immune system, and we need to feed that to encourage it, to keep it up to full strength and not rely on the resources and the contrivances of men. Sometimes that do us more harm than good. Those of you who have gotten the vaccine, you know now that you made a terrible mistake, perhaps, and you owe it to the rest of us, to speak out and warn those who haven't yet taken the kill shot, to avoid it at all costs. Oh, indeed, this is what has happened. Many have confessed that they have had ill effects.

Actor, comedian, and commentator Ben Stein, for example, took the Moderna shot and posted a video in which he cautioned against taking the vaccine, saying, and I quote him, I had the COVID booster by Moderna four or five days ago, and I'm still feeling wild side effects from it, like I have the worst flu in the world, extreme shortness of breath, dizziness, fatigue, extreme irrational thinking, and it has been devastating, unquote. But the so-called fact checkers for the mainstream media say it wasn't the vaccine. That's my theme today. It wasn't the vaccine. America is in denial.

Musician Eric Clapton, as well, had a severe reaction to the AstraZeneca vaccine, and he says, and I quote him, needless to say, the reactions were disastrous. My hands and feet were either frozen, numb, or burning, and pretty much useless for two weeks. I feared I would never play again, unquote. Clapton added, too, that he shouldn't have ever gone near the needle due to his peripheral neuropathy. But as he says, the propaganda said the vaccine was safe for everyone, unquote.

But the so-called fact checkers in the mainstream media say it wasn't the vaccine. Others have died after getting the vaccine, too. Sports greats like boxer marvelous Marvin Hagler, baseball hall of fame Hank Aaron, both died just days after getting their kill shots. And Hagler's best friend and boxing colleague Thomas Hearns said in a tweet that Hagler was in the hospital struggling with the effects of the vaccine. British model Stephanie Dubois suffered a serious thrombotic episode, her doctor said, a serious thrombotic episode after the vaccines in May.

And she died as well. She confessed to experiencing effects immediately after the shot. She said in a tweet, I am completely drained, no energy, and my whole body hurts with sore and weak joints, unquote. And she died the next day. But the so-called fact checkers in the mainstream media say it wasn't the vaccine.

Now, these people I just mentioned to you were honest enough to admit their tragic mistakes. But most people's pride will not let them admit that they made such a stupid decision to compromise their health and risk death. They may say things like, and I've heard this before, I made a decision based upon the best information available at the time, right? I hear some people say this as if they have arrived at a rational, well-informed decision. But I submit to you, dear listener, there is reliable cautionary information running counter to the mainstream media, narrative, being plentiful, this information, and abundant and ubiquitous.

And it's available with just a minimum of effort and research. If I can do it, you can do it. And that assertion is just plain ignorance that they have arrived, indeed, at a decision based on the best information at the time. It is stubborn ignorance, ill-informed, willfully blind ignorance. No, you did not make a rational, well-informed decision taking the kill shot.

You made an expedient decision based upon other perhaps irrational or informed reasons. And I give you six of them. Six reasons that I've heard why people continue to take the kill shot. Number one, they say something like, my doctor told me it was safe and effective. Oh, if he said that, then shame on him.

This is a favorite among the kill shot Karens. This is a favorite among the zap shot zombies who are completely drained. No energy. My whole body hurts with sore and weak joints, unquote. As Stephanie Dubois puts it, the sickest people I know are those who have taken the vaccine.

And their doctors told them it was safe and effective and that it would make them immune to COVID. Ah, we find out differently, don't we, in the long run. Or the second reason I hear from time to time. On TV, Dr. Fraudulent Fauci told me it was safe and effective, right?

Dr. Fraudulent Fauci says it's okay. The appeal to government authority by highly paid bureaucrats in white lab coats is persuasive to many people. After all, they are the experts, right? We should follow the science.

But the mask is beginning to slip from Fauci's face as more and more information comes to light. of, for example, his close connections to the Wuhan lab in China and its release of the virus, deliberately releasing the virus. Not to mention Dr. Fauci's financial ties to the vaccine industry. He and the entire CDC apparatus is being exposed for the vax quacks that they are. A third reason why someone might take the kill shot.

A third reason I hear from time to time, all of the mainstream media told me it was safe and effective, right? Ah, enough said, right? You should know better regarding the mainstream media. But many say, you know, I saw it on CNN. I saw it on Fox News.

Or I clicked an article on Google News, so it must be true. Ah, that's the ancient logical fallacy of the appeal to authority, right? Well-groomed talking heads who used to do serious journalism ostensibly give us their findings from behind shiny desks and expect us to receive it as serious news, right? Journalism used to be defined as well-researched, fact-based reporting on current issues. That's journalism in a nutshell.

Well-researched, fact-based reporting on current issues. But that mission is long lost today in the scramble for profits by mainstream media, always, now, these days, trumping good reporting. Big Pharma, for example, that is corporations like Merck or Eli Lilly or Pfizer. Big Pharma are the largest advertisers in mainstream media, spending over $5.2 billion per year in advertising. So you will never see an honest expose on the vaccines on places like CNN or Fox News.

They will not bite the hand that feeds them. When Big Pharma says jump, mainstream media says how high. If you were expecting true information on vaccine safety and efficacy from the mainstream media, you are a naive Pollyanna. And if you are ready and willing to tell your story of vaccine abuse, perhaps you've come to that point in your life, just know you will be blithely ignored by them all. A fourth reason I hear why people will take the kill shot.

A fourth reason I hear is, well, all of my friends, family, and social contacts are all taking the kill shot. So why shouldn't I? Right? Social pressures, the herd mentality rather than herd immunity can bend our will to the majority. How can it be wrong when all of my tribe is doing it?

Everyone I know is getting the kill shot and looking at me and saying, have you gotten your vaccine yet? And high five each other and show off their vaccine certificates as if they just won a Nobel prize for medicine. We all wear our masky face diapers. We all elbow bump instead of handshake. We respectfully maintain six feet of distance from one another.

I even quarantined for two weeks when I went to see grandma in Michigan. I can't be expected to alienate myself from everyone who matters to me. Can I? I just can't bear the rejection and disapproval of everyone I know if they sense I do not want to keep them safe. And I've been saying we're all in this together for so long that I can't bear not being together anymore.

Even if we are together on an entirely false premise, that is the vaccines. The fifth reason I hear from time to time, why people take the vaccines, not because they're safe and effective upon further investigation and uncovering contrary information, perhaps that contradicts the narrative. The fifth reason why people will take it though is I want to move about freely and get my life back. All right. The vaccine passport principle.

I want to move about freely again and get my life back. Government and big corporations have imposed stringent requirements for vaccines before using their services. I want to fly again. And so I take the kill shot. I want to go to a restaurant or a ball game.

And so I take the kill shot. I want to see grandma in the nursing home. So I take the kill shot. I want to go back to work. And so I take the kill shot.

If I do this, if I can only do this, I will be one step closer to things going back to normal. For example, Oregon is now requiring proof of vaccination in order to enter businesses and public places without a mask. Oh, what a draconian measure that will most certainly drive many otherwise vaccine hesitant Oregonians to take the kill shot. And some major league baseball teams are as well segregating vaccinated from unvaccinated fans giving preferential seating to the vaccinated. This will drive some otherwise vaccine hesitant fans as well to take the kill shot in order not to be classed with the lepers of society.

The societal noose is gradually being tightened around the necks of the American people that will either herd them into the kill shot cattle shoot to die a pathetic death by taking that kill shot or else find themselves withering away on the cultural vine of American society, unable to participate in its most basic functions. Neither option is acceptable really. We must find a third way where we are free of the medical dictatorship presently ruling over us. Oh, we must remember David's words in the Psalm. Don't forget his benefits.

He forgives all your iniquity. He heals all your diseases. He redeems your life from the pit so that your youth is renewed like the eagles. Do not forget God's gracious gift to us of a very effective and thorough immune system. Dear listener.

Oh, well, the sixth reason I hear from time to time why people take the kill shot. Number six, I just have this sense of fear and foreboding that I can't get rid of. Maybe the shot will help me. I just have this sense of fear, right? All of the hype surrounding the COVID virus has made me afraid.

I don't want to get sick. I don't want to be another stat on CNN. I don't want to die. I'm not sure what to do. I think I should do the safe thing and get the kill shot.

Oh, dear listener. Fear drives us, doesn't it? Fear drives us to do stupid things like hoard toilet paper or wear petri dishes on our faces that make us sicker, but which we convince ourselves keeps us healthy. And we inject into our bloodstream an experimental gene altering cocktail of substances that provoke effects far worse than the disease from which it ostensibly protects you. Your fear, your dread of impending doom, your sense of foreboding are the very last bases upon which you should make your decisions on your health.

In fact, it can be argued that not entirely benevolent forces have used precisely that fear to motivate you to make bad choices. If you have submitted to the kill shot, you must admit to yourself and the rest of us too, please, that one or more of the reasons I just mentioned are those for which you did it. You did not make a decision based upon the best information available at the time. Good information was, is, and will be available tomorrow. You just choose to ignore it.

For example, let me give you two examples. First of all, you can find good information with Dr. Sherry Tenpenny, who has a website, drtenpenny.com, all one word, dr for doctor, drtenpenny.com. Dr. Sherry Tenpenny has been researching vaccines since the early 2000s, and she knows her subject like few others, including Dr. Fraudulent Fauci. She has been raising the alarm on the COVID vaccines for almost two years now.

She's been practicing integrative medicine for over 20 years and has written a myriad of books and articles on this subject. She is passionate about telling people about this Franken shot for which it takes four to 14 weeks to see the full effects of it upon your body. Realize this, just because you don't drop dead 30 seconds after receiving this jab does not mean that you're free and clear of its effects.

Dr. Tenpenny does an excellent job of analyzing what is in the vaccines and what their effects are and how they ostensibly work to immunize, but doing so at a terrible cost to your immune system, causing long-term autoimmune reactions, which will reverberate through our nation for years to come. Check her out at drtenpenny.com, one source of good information on the vaccines, which you could have easily found. And then there's also number two, the second person I'd like to mention is Dr. Joseph Mercola. Dr. Mercola, M-E-R-C-O-L-A.

Dr. Mercola is a naturopathic physician who has been practicing medicine for many decades and he has led the way in developing healthy alternatives to big med and big pharma. He has developed very successful treatments and supplements that heal while not having the associated side effects and extreme costs that come with proprietary medicines with big med and big pharma. Medicine used to be natural and healing, not unnatural and artificial in how it treats disease. And Dr. Mercola tries as much as possible to return to these methods without jettisoning either, without jettisoning the best of what modern medicine has to offer.

He's not against that. Consequently, Dr. Mercola, you will find, is a sworn enemy to big med and big pharma. You won't get a good review from the mainstream medical community when it comes to the good Dr. Mercola. The Wikipedia entry on him, for example, is little more than a hit piece by those in the pocket of big pharma. But Dr. Mercola has their number too.

He has been on the COVID vaccines from the beginning and is as serious as cancer about them, if I can put it that way. He has a dedicated website to the vaccines. And that website is vaccines.mercola.com. Vaccines.mercola, that's M-E-R-C-O-L-A.com. And the information is out there as well, that countries all over the globe have either canceled or paused the vaccines.

That information is freely available too out there for just a little bit of research. Countries all over the globe have either canceled or paused the vaccines. 22 countries have suspended the injection of the AstraZeneca COVID vaccine, for example, because of blood clot issues, which proceed from its use. And the European Union, all the countries of the European Union and South Africa have banned the use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Norway and India have also suspended the use of the Pfizer vaccine.

Across the world, on and on, the list grows. But you will not hear a whisper about this in the mainstream media, which is very busy canceling any narrative that questions the safe and effective narrative being pushed. Most Americans are ignorant of these bans because of the mainstream media blackout of any vaccine hesitancy, right as Facebook puts it, vaccine hesitancy. And then finally, information. The information has been out there, dear listener, on these vaccines and their dangers.

For example, the CDC has its own agency for reporting negative side effects from the vaccines. And that is called Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System. Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System, or VAERS, V-A-E-R-S, Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System. And between December 14 of 2020 and April 23rd of 2021, the latest figures were able to garner, there were 118,902 adverse effects reported, just reported, following COVID vaccines. And amongst those figures, 3,544 deaths and 12,619 serious injuries that were reported.

Do you know this? Have you seen this report? 3,544 deaths. Oh, Dr. Sherry Tenpenny as well estimates from her experience in her own private practice and her own dealings with government medical agencies that barely 10% of negative side effects, including death, get reported to these agencies. So this is also what you're facing.

So whatever impacts you can quantify from government stats, you can routinely multiply by 10 and get a truer picture of what is happening with the kill shots. Some of the serious injuries reported to VAERS include, but are not limited to things like pregnant women having miscarriages or premature birth. Bell's palsy has been reported. Guillain-Barre syndrome has been reported. And anaphylaxis reactions to the Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J kill shot.

All of these have been reported. The information is out there. All of this information and much, much more is widely available and accessible for a bit of extra effort in research beyond turning on CNN or clicking Apple news to excuse yourself by saying I was only acting on the best information available at the time is thus an admission of being easily susceptible to brainwashing and pure laziness on doing one's homework. You could have known, you should have known, you have no excuse for what you and your family suffer at the present time from the kill shot. And it's only begun.

If Dr. Tenpenny is correct, then you can expect consequences far beyond the immediate side effects you have experienced. And they will begin to appear four to 14 months after your last injection. Oh, but I can hear it already. I've had it said to me, but pastor, we love you, but you're just a conspiracy theorist, right? The old conspiracy theory is often trotted out to ward off any of the arguments here presented.

But this easy pejorative no longer works. When it comes to this subject, conspiracy theorist is a label ready to hand for lazy minds and incurious souls. It masks a tinker toy worldview that has been effectively brainwashed over many years of a steady diet of propaganda. You now see the evidence in your very bones, dear listener, literally in the core of your being, in your very health. And you now see that if I am a conspiracy theorist, then you are a naive brainwashed Pollyanna.

Many of you listening right now who have taken the kill shot, you know in your soul that you made a terrible mistake in taking the vaccine. It has crippled your immune system and your general overall sense of health and well-being. And it's time to be honest with yourself and with those around you. Admit your mistake. Yes, Ben Stein did.

Admit your mistake and warn those that you love and care for to avoid the kill shot at all costs and work to change the fear-laden atmosphere that brings undue pressure on Americans to submit to an injection in the bloodstream. Oh, they normally would not even consider doing. And dear listener, if we begin to do that, then we can begin as well to get back to what David has said about our own health and strength and strength, excuse me, and the restorative powers of our God-given immune system. I love those words from the Psalm. And David knew this to his very bones too.

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me. Bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. He forgives all your iniquity. He heals all your diseases.

He redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercies, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagles. Ah, dear listener, this is where our true health and strength comes from. First and foremost, we don't reject the best that science has to offer, but we also don't just blindly accept everything that's put before us. We are ultimately our own doctors and nurses. We are the ones who judge what is good for us and what is bad for us.

We are the ones who decide what treatment is efficacious and salutary and what others may not be so good for us. You are the ultimate judge under the authority of God and including his wisdom and input from the scriptures and from others around you. This is our first task then is to go to the great physician and ask for healing, and he will indeed hear us. He heals our diseases. He renews our strength like the eagles.

It is he in whom I trust. It is the living God who I trust for my health and strength, and I hope that you do too. This has been Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church.
