In this fast-paced western society we are constantly connected and available 247, we have information flowing into us on a daily basis and there’s an increasing expectation for us to respond instantly. Given all of this, there a growing need for us to be operating or functioning in terms of our mental health not just at ‘normal’ or ‘acceptable’ levels, but ‘optimal’ levels.

Optimal means we are functioning at the highest levels mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually, such that we’re able to cope well with the demands of life. If we are operating at sub-optimal level, it’s much harder for us to perform even the basic of life’s functions.

So how do we ensure our health and wellbeing levels are what they should be?

One key contributory factor for long-term mental health and wellness is to ensure we have 7-9 hours of good quality sleep per night.

Repair

Sleep repairs the body. This has a positive knock-on effect to how you function cognitively the next and following days. When we sleep, we sleep in cycles of 60-90 minutes. During that time we oscillate between deep (so-called delta) sleep where the body repairs itself and the lighter REM sleep.

Recall

REM (rapid-eye-movement) sleep, or lighter sleep, moves information from your short-term memory to your long-term memory. This helps you to better recall information you absorb on a daily basis. It is during this REM phase of sleep that your eyes move rapidly from side to side (hence the name) and that you dream.

Rhythm

Getting to bed at the right time (ideally 10pm) and getting the right amount of sleep every night keeps your circadian rhythm in check. Your circadian rhythm is your natural body clock that gives you signals when it’s time for you to sleep and when it’s time for you to wake up. Working shift patterns (especially night shifts) can knock this out of balance which can have major consequences not only for your mental and physical health but also for your gut health.

Lack of good quality sleep means that instead of being fully awake and energised during the day, you may find yourself sleepy, sluggish and unable to focus for any significant length of time. In addition, when you’re in bed at night you may feel ‘tired and wired’ (meaning your body is physically tired, but your mind is wide awake and you’re therefore unable to sleep).

Melatonin, the hormone that prepares your body for sleep, and serotonin (your awake hormone) need to be in balance for you to function at your best in the day. This means melatonin kicks in naturally from around 9pm (to help you sleep) until about 7am when serotonin is released to take you through the day. When this melatonin, serotonin cycle is in balance you are fully awake during the day and sleepy at night (when you should be). This in turn means you get a better night’s sleep.

Immune Booster

So never underestimate the power of sleep if you value your health and wellbeing. Good quality sleep not only helps us function more effectively, it also boosts our immune system, helping us to stave off viruses and other infections that we would more easily catch with an inferior level and quality of sleep.

Sleep is therefore one of the fundamental pillars of amazing health and wellbeing. Without it we may over time find ourselves not only operating under par but opening ourselves up to chronic exhaustive conditions such as ME, chronic fatigue syndrome, or fibromyalgia. These conditions can be debilitating and could, if not kept in check, leave us either bed bound or wheelchair bound.

So a key way to look after your mental health over the long term is to ensure that you not only get your 7-9 hours but that you ensure that you go to bed at the right time to increase your chances of getting a much better night’s sleep.

Introduction

We are at the edge of history, in a global society where there is great suffering and injustice because of the widespread commitment to get the entire population jabbed with COVID vaccines that the government claims are safe. As shown below, in truth there is ever increasing deaths and harmful health impacts from all the COVID vaccines. But governments do not give credence to the many awful health impacts of the vaccines, no matter how many esteemed physicians and medical researchers present evidence for stopping vaccination efforts.

The political and medical establishments keep using the same insensitive argument. No matter how many people die from the vaccines – often within days of getting jabbed – those in power proclaim that more lives are saved from using the vaccines against COVID than are lost due to them. So many thousands of people worldwide have died from the jabs, probably 100,000 or more based on data from CDC, the European Union and other nations. But negative vaccine impacts are largely ignored by big media, the public health system and authoritarian politicians. Sneaking into the public limelight are some famous people dying from the shots from the realms of sports, entertainment and politics. But these are easily forgotten or ignored. Or seen as exceptions, statistically speaking.

New analysis of all major vaccines

Physician J. Bart Classen published an extremely valuable analysis. He examined clinical trial data from all three of the major vaccine makers and found their vaccines cause more harm than good. Here are highlights from his article.

Data were “reanalyzed using ‘all cause severe morbidity,’ a scientific measure of health, as the primary endpoint. ‘All cause severe morbidity’ in the treatment group and control group was calculated by adding all severe events reported in the clinical trials. Severe events included both severe infections with COVID-19 and all other severe adverse events in the treatment arm and control arm respectively. This analysis gives reduction in severe COVID-19 infections the same weight as adverse events of equivalent severity. Results prove that none of the vaccines provide a health benefit and all pivotal trials show a statically significant increase in ‘all cause severe morbidity’ in the vaccinated group compared to the placebo group.”

In other words, he found that each of the vaccines caused more severe events in the immunized group than in the control group. No safety.

This was his main conclusion: “Based on this data it is all but a certainty that mass COVID-19 immunization is hurting the health of the population in general. Scientific principles dictate that the mass immunization with COVID-19 vaccines must be halted immediately because we face a looming vaccine induced public health catastrophe.”

Manipulation of data

The trick used by CDC that was revealed in some publications, but not big media, is to count the deaths of fully vaccinated people as unvaccinated if the deaths occurred within 14 days of their final vaccination.

Their goal was to make unvaccinated people look like pandemic culprits causing the continued spread of COVID. Indeed, what big media did produce to influence public opinion was that unvaccinated people were the problem. All this to help convince more people to get vaccinated.

In truth, the medical reality is that vaccinated people are dying for two reasons. Some are inflicted with serious health impacts from the vaccines themselves, such as blood clots that kill people from strokes and other maladies. Second, many are victims of breakthrough COVID infections that can cause death because vaccines over time become increasingly ineffective in protecting against COVID.

To add more context to what CDC has done, consider the following report of a revelation by a whistleblower.

In sworn testimony she claiming to have proof that 45,000 Americans have died within three days of receiving their COVID-19 shot. The declaration is part of a lawsuit America’s Frontline Doctors (AFD) against U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra. That is a remarkably higher number than CDC has reported.

According to the whistleblower’s sworn document, she is “a computer programmer with subject matter expertise in the healthcare data analytics field, an honor that allows me access to Medicare and Medicaid data maintained by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).”

After verifying data from the CDC’s adverse reaction tracking system VAERS, the whistleblower focused only on individuals who died within three days of receiving their shot.

“It is my professional estimate that VAERS (the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) database, while extremely useful, is under-reported by a conservative factor of at least 5,” she added. She came to that conclusion by examining the Medicare and Medicaid data in respect to those who died within three days of vaccination

It should be noted that some years ago a Harvard study found that the system could be undercounting by a factor of 10 to 100.

EXAMPLE OF WHY 12 -DAY CDC PRACTICE IS FRAUDULENT: Back in January there was a news story about the death of 56-year old Florida doctor Gregory Michael who died from a rare autoimmune disorder he developed on December 21 three days after receiving the Pfizer vaccine. His wife said that in her mind his death was 100% linked to the vaccine. One doctor came forward publicly to say he also believed the vaccine caused the victim to develop acute idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), the blood disorder and brain hemorrhage that killed him. Dr. Jerry L. Spivak, an expert on blood disorders at Johns Hopkins University, who was not involved in Dr. Michael’s care, said “I think it is a medical certainty that the vaccine was related. It happened and it could happen again.” His medical reasons were that the disorder came on quickly after the shot, and “was so severe that it made his platelet count ‘rocket’ down.” Over following months huge amounts of medical research documented vaccine induced blood problems, including the one that hit the Florida physician.

There is still more to the data corruption designed to send a deceitful message to the public. A July story noted: “a physician contacted the Globe and said testing protocol from Scripts [health care system] is indicating that they aren’t testing the vaccinated in the hospitals – they are only testing the unvaccinated for COVID despite the many COVID breakthrough cases reported. The physician contacted another hospital and reported to the Globe: ‘They HAVE NOT been testing the vaccinated for COVID routinely like they have the unvaccinated, but they JUST changed their policy to begin doing this.’ Unbelievable! So all this BS in the newspapers has been spewing about the vaccinated NOT having COVID BECAUSE THEY DON’T TEST FOR IT!” All this was done very likely in hospitals all over the nation so that big media could push the story that there was a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.”

There is still more corruption to acknowledge.

In 2020 CDC issued new instructions for medical examiners, coroners and physicians to give more credit for COVID as the cause of death. Pre-existing conditions or comorbidities were to be recorded in Part II rather than Part I of death certificates. This was a major rule change from the 2003 handbooks to be used for reporting deaths. This single change resulted in a significant inflation of COVID-19 fatalities by instructing that COVID-19 be listed in Part I of death certificates as a definitive cause of death regardless of confirmatory evidence, rather than listed in Part II as a contributor to death in the presence of pre-existing conditions, as would have been done using the 2003 guidelines. The result was significant inflation in COVID fatality totals by as much as 1600% above what they would be had the CDC used the 2003 handbooks. It comes down to what many people now understand, namely so many people die with COVID but not FROM COVID.

As a final example of data corruption and shortcomings, consider what was revealed at a recent meeting of nurses. They explained what they are facing in their hospital work, which also helps explain why so many nurses and physicians have refused vaccination. One nurse said she ran an ER department, and that it was tragic that they were seeing so many heart attacks and strokes, and that it is obvious that they are related to the COVID-19 shots. Another nurse stated that she was never trained about how to submit a report to VAERS about vaccine adverse events, and did not even know it existed until she did some research on her own. She said there is pressure to NOT report vaccine injuries and deaths, and it takes about 30 minutes to fill out the report, which few will do.

British and other International data show vaccine truths

A new report with detailed data from Public Health England provides some startling numbers. For the period of February 1 through August 2 there were COVID Delta variant cases for 47,000 people who had received 2 vaccine doses, and for 151,054 people who were unvaccinated.

In the first group of vaccinated people there were a total of 402 deaths. In the second much larger group with more than three times unvaccinated people there were just 253 deaths. In other words, of the total COVID deaths 61 percent were in fully vaccinated people.

To get the death rate you divide the number of deaths by the total number of infection cases. That gives a death rate of.86 percent among the vaccinated and.17 percent among the unvaccinated.

That is an amazing difference. The death rate among vaccinated was just over five times greater than that for the unvaccinated.

Five times greater! In other words, unvaccinated people who got infected were enormously safer from death. Proving that COVID vaccines are not safe.

How can we explain this huge difference in terms of medical science?

It should also be noted that it was determined that the measured viral load in both groups was the same. So, why are vaccinated people dying more frequently than the unvaccinated. Here are some plausible explanations.

First, there is something very dangerous and unsafe in the COVID vaccines associated with spike proteins that are causing people to die at a higher rate. For example, as discussed elsewhere, all current vaccines have been associated with serious blood problems, notably both large and microscopic blood clots. Many people have died from brain bleeds and strokes, for example. There are also many, many other types of adverse side effects causing a host of medical problems.

Second, it is reasonable to believe that most unvaccinated people have acquired natural immunity from some prior COVID infection. And that natural immunity is far more protective than the artificial or vaccine immunity obtained from jabs. Their natural immunity translates to fewer deaths. Yet the US like many other countries does not give credit for natural immunity on a par with vaccine immunity when it comes to COVID passports and mandates. Though a few nations do the right thing by honestly following the science.

Third, vaccinated people are susceptible to breakthrough infections, which means that they are not protected against infection after they have been originally infected. Phony and dangerous COVID vaccines do not destroy the virus, nor prevent transmitting it to others. Some breakthrough infections are lethal.

Putting aside problems with CDC data, the death rate found in the UK for vaccinated people translates to about 1,300 deaths for vaccinated Americans. Indeed, an August report revealed that new CDC data indicated 1,507 people of those fully vaccinated died. It seems like these figures are only for breakthrough infection deaths, because the CDC VAERS database indicates more than 6,000 vaccine deaths (through August 27) that are reported as vaccine adverse effects. [But nearly 14,000 deaths apparently when non-US data are included.]

Just days ago, it was reported that West Virginia saw a 25% increase in deaths of people that are fully vaccinated over the last eight weeks. At the same time it was reported that in Massachusetts 144 people fully vaccinated also died from COVID, an 80 percent increase from several weeks earlier, and that new total translates to about 4,800 for the whole nation. In New Jersey there was a 16 percent increase in breakthrough deaths recently.

The new data from England involving very large numbers of people should be headline news. But the biased and dishonest big media suppress this kind of critical data. Why? Clearly, if vaccinated people die at a much higher rate than unvaccinated people, then why should people be enthusiastic about being vaccinated for initial shots or later booster ones? They should not. This is especially true for the millions of people who have natural immunity.

Data from other countries merits attention because of still more proof of the deficiencies of the COVID vaccines.

In August director of Israel’s Public Health Services, Dr. Sharon Alroy-Preis, announced half of all COVID-19 infections were among the fully vaccinated. Signs of more serious disease among fully vaccinated are also emerging, she said, particularly in those over the age of 60.

A few days later, Dr. Kobi Haviv, director of the Herzog Hospital in Jerusalem, reported that 95% of severely ill COVID-19 patients are fully vaccinated, and that they make up 85% to 90% of COVID-related hospitalizations overall.

Add these results from research in Israel: People who were vaccinated in January and February were, in June, July, and the first half of August, six to 13 times more likely to get infected than unvaccinated people who were previously infected with the coronavirus; that is, people with natural immunity. In one analysis, comparing more than 32,000 people in the health system, the risk of developing symptomatic COVID-19 was 27 times higher among the vaccinated, and the risk of hospitalization eight times higher.

In Scotland, official data on hospitalizations and deaths show 87% of those who have died from COVID-19 in the third wave that began in early July were vaccinated.

In Ireland, 18 percent of COVID deaths were in fully vaccinated people.

Great article on vaccine failure

This recent article displays a lot of wisdom about COVID vaccines; here are some excerpts.

“The Corona vaccines don’t work very well. Ubiquitous statistics showing that the vaccinated enjoy substantial protection against serious illness and death seem wrong. In some cases they are probably manipulated. They are certainly confounded by the different testing regimes to which the vaccinated and the unvaccinated are subjected. Once you forget the specifics of efficacy and look at the broader picture, it is easy to see where we are. The vaccines have not reduced Corona mortality compared to the same time last year in any jurisdiction that I know of. Countries with high vaccination rates are now seeing the same number of deaths, or more, as they had at the beginning of September 2020.”

“The vaccinated remain substantially protected against serious illness or death, but the unvaccinated are entering the hospital and dying at very high rates indeed, as if to compensate. Thus Israel has maintained the same case fatality rate of around 0.7%, before and after mass vaccination.”

“Vaccines against coronaviruses have been used in animals for decades, and none of them work very well. Generally they begin to fail after a few months. Despite their technical sophistication, our mRNA and vector vaccines against SARS-2 are no different. They had some success when they were first rolled out, but if anything that probably made things worse.”

“Our universal vaccination campaigns worked just well enough to speed up the evolutionary processes that are always and everywhere optimising Corona.” That means the virus keeps outwitting us.

“It is impossible to believe that this failure was not foreseen. The scientists who developed the vaccines knew for sure how things would play out. That’s why they concluded the trials after three or four months and vaccinated their controls. It’s why they have been talking about boosters from the very beginning. It’s why, if you listened carefully, you never heard Zero Covid sloganeering coming from Team Vaccine. Only the comparative morons on Team Lockdown ever talked like that.”

“Our politicians and our new public health dictators, on the other hand, remained oblivious to the limited potential of the vaccines. They continue to insist on universal vaccination and green passes, while it is obvious that these will do nothing to influence the course of the pandemic.”

“Corona policy in every western country has unfolded more or less according to the same script, devised by the World Health Organisation at the end of February 2020. The final act was supposed to be the wide-scale eradication of Corona after mass vaccination. It is now clear that this will never happen. For the first time since March 2020, there is no obvious international consensus on the way forward.”

“A few countries, or perhaps even a few prominent politicians or public health pundits who do not have their heads up their asses, could change everything. Everyone who is not crazy needs to start insisting on the same simple message:

We have to live with Corona, it will always be with us. Biannual boosters for the entire population will not solve anything. They will only reduce the effectiveness of vaccines by encouraging antigenic drift. The vaccines are, at best, a solution for the elderly and the vulnerable only. Everyone will get Corona, even the vaccinated, and children need to get it while they are still young and while it poses no risk to them. In this way, SARS-2 will become an unimportant virus in the coming years.” But will that happen before we suffer through a vaccine dystopia?

This article gave no attention to treatments, but here is one of the many comments that addressed this issue well:

“When do the powers that be start focusing on TREATMENTS for those who contract covid, regardless of vaccination status?? No other infection, condition, desease, etc doesn’t have treatment options, except for covid… they, the powers that be, go so far as to block treatment options or make them incredibly hard to get. It’s past time to make the various treatments readily available… they don’t have to be 100% successful, but we should be given the choice to try them!!”

Vaccine dystopia seen by some esteemed scientists

If the material above has made you depressed, you may not want to keep reading. Some great medical scientists have gone public with very negative views of the future because of mass COVID vaccine use.

Chief among these forecasters of vaccine doom is Dr. Judy Mikovits. She became widely seen as a conscientious whistle blower when she talked about “mass murder” and said that 50 million Americans will die because of the vaccines. Her medical science credentials are impeccable, including a long stint at the National Cancer Institute. Her views may seem extreme to some people, but they are based in deep scientific understanding and are consistent with the highly frightening forecasts of other scientists and physicians.

Here are some of her views:

“Most people don’t realize the [COVID] vaccines do not prevent infection. You’re injecting the blueprint of the virus and letting a compromised system try to deal with it. And worse, it doesn’t go in the cells that a natural infection would, that have lock and key receptors, gatekeepers, so that only certain cells can be infected, like the upper respiratory tract for a coronavirus. Now you’re making it in a nanoparticle which means it can go in every cell without that receptor. So, can you imagine the damage of bypassing God’s natural immunity and allowing the blueprint for coronavirus that also has components of HIV in some strains, meaning you can infect your white blood cells. So now you’re going to inject an agent into every cell of the body. I just can’t even imagine a recipe for anything other than what I would consider mass murder on a scale where 50 million people will die in America from the vaccine. The numbers from the XMRV’s (xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus) and the vaccine injuries for the (past) 40 years support that.”

Her warning that these injections can cause death is confirmed by Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, an award winning researcher and former head of the Institute of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene in Germany; he was a professor of virology and microbiology for 30 years in Germany. In the statement shown below, he warns that by taking these injections, killer lymphocytes already present in our body will cause an auto-immune attack with terrible consequences for our health and even death. He made this statement:

“The big, big danger about this vaccine is you are shooting the gene of the virus into your body. It is going to go through the body and go to entering cells that you don’t know. These cells are going to start making, not the whole virus, but virus protein, and these cells are going to put the waste of that spike protein in front of their cells. And the killer lymphocytes will see the waste, and, you know, anyone who does not understand there is going to be an autoimmune attack because the killer lymphocytes are already there. It is with this that I will say, “Bye bye,” (death) because you don’t realize what you are going to do. You are going to plant the seed of autoimmune reactions.”

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny is board certified in emergency medicine and osteopathic manipulative medicine and author of several books on the impact of vaccines. When she was specifically asked about the forecast from Dr. Mikovits, she said: “If they don’t die, they’re going to be seriously injured. There are some things in life that are worse than death, you know, having to live with chronic inflammatory drug induced hepatitis, you know, having chronic seizure disorders, having debilitating autoimmune diseases. Some people are so sick it would be merciful if they died.”

Add to these views the warnings from Dr. Michael Yeadon, former Vice President of Pfizer with a PhD in respiratory pharmacology, and Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, former head of the Public Health Department in Germany and a doctor of pneumology. They sent an urgent petition to the European Union demanding a halt to COVID-19 vaccine studies due to safety concerns. They specifically identified the following serious side effects:

Infertility

Allergic, potentially fatal reactions due to polyethylene glycol (PEG) which is contained in the vaccine.

Exaggerated immune reactions, especially when the vaccine recipient is confronted (later in life) with the real “wild” virus. They report that these exaggerated immune reactions to corona vaccines have long been known from experiments with cats. 100% of the vaccinated cats died after catching the wild virus.

Here are a few more examples of dire predictions about the COVID vaccines:

Dr. Luc Montagnier, a French virologist and recipient of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is worth listening to. He has a doctorate in medicine and has received more than 20 major awards. Montagnier refers to the mass vaccine program as an “unacceptable mistake” and is a “scientific error as well as a medical error.” His assertion is that “The history books will show that… it is the vaccination that is creating the variants.” In other words: “There are antibodies, created by the vaccine,” forcing the virus to “find another solution” or die. This is where the variants are created. It is the variants that “are a production and result from the vaccination.” He is talking about the mutation and strengthening of the virus from a phenomenon known as Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE). ADE is a mechanism that increases the ability of a virus to enter cells and cause a worsening of the disease. His bottom line: “Faced with an unpredictable future, it is better to abstain.” But most people will find it extremely difficult to resist all the coercion and vaccine mandates. As to the much talked about and hope for herd immunity, he has said: “the vaccines Pfizer, Moderna, Astra Zeneca do not prevent the transmission of the virus person-to-person and the vaccinated are just as transmissive as the unvaccinated. Therefore, the hope of a ‘collective immunity’ by an increase in the number of vaccinated is totally futile.”

Dr. Vanden Bossche has considerable credentials that make his views worth consideration. He has PhD degree in Virology from the University of Hohenheim, Germany and has held faculty appointments at universities in Belgium and Germany. He was at the German Center for Infection Research in Cologne as Head of the Vaccine Development Office. He has said: “Given the huge amount of immune escape that will be provoked by mass vaccination campaigns and flanking containment measures, it is difficult to imagine how human interventions would not cause the COVID-19 pandemic to turn into an incredible disaster for global and individual health.” He talks about selective viral ‘immune escape’ where viruses continue to be shed from those who are infected [both vaccinated and nonvaccinated] because neutralizing antibodies fail to prevent replication and elimination of the virus. A frightening forecast by Bossche is that the worst of the pandemic is still to come. Hard to believe considering all the bad news propaganda about cases, hospitalizations and deaths. But he thinks we are now experiencing the calm before the ultimate storm. Imagine a new wave of infection far worse than anything we’ve seen so far is how Bossche thinks. How does this happen? There will be more mutants or variants to which the adaptive immune system from vaccine shots provides little resistance. At the same time there will be decreased innate or natural immune effectiveness. Unless people take a number of steps to boost their natural immunity. Here is his big picture view: “There is only one single thing at stake right now and that is the survival of our human race, frankly speaking.” This too is a very strong view. The “mass vaccination program is… unable to generate herd immunity.” If true, there is little hope of seeing the COVID pandemic ending.

In a public comment to the CDC on April 23, 2021, molecular biologist and toxicologist Dr. Janci Chunn Lindsay, Ph.D., called on CDC to immediately halt Covid vaccine production and distribution. Citing fertility, blood-clotting concerns (coagulopathy), and immune escape, Dr. Lindsay explained to the committee the scientific evidence showing that the coronavirus vaccines are not safe. She holds a doctorate in biochemistry and molecular biology from the University of Texas, and has over 30 years of scientific experience, primarily in toxicology and mechanistic biology. “I strongly feel that all the gene therapy vaccines must be halted immediately due to safety concerns on several fronts,” she said. Also noted was that “Covid vaccines could induce cross-reactive antibodies to syncytin [a protein], and impair fertility as well as pregnancy outcomes.” Yet another issue was this: “there is strong evidence for immune escape, and that inoculation under pandemic pressure with these leaky vaccines is driving the creation of more lethal mutants that are both newly infecting a younger age demographic, and causing more Covid-related deaths across the population than would have occurred without intervention. That is, there is evidence that the vaccines are making the pandemic worse.”

Dr. Theresa Deisher warned about the dangers of mRNA permanently re-writing our genetic code by making changes to our DNA. She graduated with honors and distinction from Stanford University, and obtained her Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Physiology from the Department of Molecular and Cellular Physiology, Stanford University. “The vaccines that are messenger RNA (mRNA), what they do is they act like a virus and they hijack the cell’s machinery to turn that mRNA into the protein. Now, messenger RNA can also be what’s called reverse transcribed into DNA. Okay, an RNA virus uses a reverse transcriptase in our cells to make itself into DNA and permanently insert into the genome. Viruses can do that. There is a possibility that the messenger RNA could be made into DNA and be permanently inserted. It doesn’t have all of the efficient components of a virus but the spontaneous possibility is there. In a gene therapy trial, the experts said the danger is 10 to the minus 13 (which is one in a trillion). Four of nine boys (participating in the trial) had DNA insertions and developed leukemia. Four of nine is a lot different from one in a trillion.”

Dr. Johan Denis, medical doctor and homeopath from Belgium, warns, “This vaccine is just not proven safe. It has been developed too quickly. We have no idea what the long term effects will be. It needs much more investigation. There is no hurry or emergency. It might possibly change your DNA. This is irreversible and irreparable for all future generations.”

Report in May by 57 top scientists and physicians sent a clear message about COVID vaccines. “The recently identified role of SARS-CoV-2 glycoprotein Spike for inducing endothelial damage characteristic of COVID-19, even in absence of infection, is extremely relevant given that most of the authorized vaccines induce the production of Spike glycoprotein in the recipients. Given the high rate of occurrence of adverse effects, and the wide range of types of adverse effects that have been reported to date, as well as the potential for vaccine-driven disease enhancement, Th2-immunopathology, autoimmunity, and immune evasion, there is a need for a better understanding of the benefits and risks of mass vaccination, particularly in the groups that were excluded in the clinical trials.”

“Despite calls for caution, the risks of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination have been minimized or ignored by health organizations and government authorities.”

“In the context of these concerns, we propose halting mass-vaccination and opening an urgent pluralistic, critical, and scientifically-based dialogue on SARS-CoV-2 vaccination among scientists, medical doctors, international health agencies, regulatory authorities, governments, and vaccine developers.”

Conclusions

Ponder this for a while: Even though we probably have entered vaccine dystopia can we still save humanity and our society?

Ask any ‘Pretty Woman’ fan and they’ll gleefully recount that unforgettable scene when Julia Roberts hits Rodeo Drive for a shopping spree. Remember the revenge-bliss scene in the 1990s romantic fantasy?

So it happens that Vivian visits a fancy boutique to buy herself a nice dress where she is spurned by the snooty salespeople. Later, she buys a slew of obscenely expensive outfits and then returns – dressed to the nines and carrying handfuls of shopping bags – to the one boutique that had shunned her.

“You work on commission, right?” she asks a la-di-da saleswoman.

“Uh, yes.”

“Big mistake. Big. HUGE!”

“I have to go shopping now,” she says, turning on her heels to leave (as we give a collective contented sigh at the appalled look at the salesperson’s face. She had it coming!).

Moral of the story? It doesn’t matter how deep your customer’s pockets are, it only matters how well you treat them. Imagine how different the movie would be if it was made now. What are the chances of Vivian tweeting out her anger and hurt, her tweets going viral with tons of people chipping in their own frustration, the movement gaining momentum and leading the store to a digital suicide?

In a service business, nothing is more important than having people on your team who’ll do more than represent your current culture-you must have people who push the culture you have forward, not the other way around.

More often in customer experience, you could get away with doing the bare minimum. That is mostly enough. But enough is far from memorable. It is when you go out of your way that you make people’s day!

We’ve cherry-picked 10 brands that have an unbeatable track when it comes to cultivating their customers’ happiness.

Zappos

Did you know that up to 42% of consumers expect a response with 60 minutes? Apparently, a prompt response is the norm, not exception anymore.

If there is a gold standard in customer service, it has got to be Zappos. Their support success stories are the stuff of urban legends. One such instance, they won a customer for life by overnighting a pair of shoes, free of cost, to a best man in need.

On social media, Zappos doesn’t hold back from having a little fun with emojis and GIFs, but they always adhere to their golden rule of putting their customers first. And it pays off, each time!

Delta Hotels

Mike McCready, your average Jo, was attending the #PSEWEB conference in Vancouver, when he stayed at Delta hotel. While he liked his room at the Delta, the view was rather ugly and he tweeted that with his followers. He didn’t tag the hotel, merely commenting on it, as he didn’t think anything would come out of the tweet.

He was in for a pleasant surprise when Delta responded within an hour- offering another room with a better view! And he had a dish of sweets and a handwritten card from the staff awaiting his arrival in his room. Mike was so profoundly impressed that he wrote an entire post about it, the very same day.

Amazon

If happy customers are what you have in mind, then an exuberant customer service team is what you should already have. Let your customer service team have fun. Amazon has an exciting story to tell of what can happen when companies give their teams more freedom in their client communications.

One such instance, when a witty customer service person engaged in a Thor and Odin roleplay with an equally witty customer, to the delight of everyone. ( https://www.thesun.co.uk/archives/news/1133174/now-thats-customer-service-amazon-worker-engages-in-hilarious-thor-roleplay-to-help-replace-customers-lost-book/ This Thor and Odin exchange was legendary. The hilarious communication between an Amazon employee and a customer couldn’t go better even if it was scripted!

Now, can you imagine how dry things would have been if the Customer Service was asked to reply only with strictly professional (read stuffy), straightforward answers? More people than you’d think would appreciate humor. Just don’t crack jokes at the expense of a pissed off customer.

Westjet

There is nothing more cheerier than surprise gifts (as Westjet proved)! In December 2013, the Canadian airline staged what would become the most stunning example of ‘giftvertising’ yet.

When Santa Claus greeted each of the passengers boarding the two Westjet flights with “What would you like for Christmas?”, they thought it was a just an interesting Xmas celebration. From a warm scarf and clean underwear to holiday tickets and a big tv, their answers ranged from whatever first came to their mind.

In the following year, the number of visits to their websites doubled, with bookings increasing by 77% compared to the same month in 2012 and revenue rising by a whopping 86%!

Slack

Putting out figurative fires is what a customer service company does all day. But doing it gracefully is indeed an art! Sometimes it’s when things aren’t going perfectly that a company’s true colors come out.

As is the case of Slack when they dealt with their app-wide outage like a pro in late November, 2015. For a new company on the block, they have more than their share of passionate customers for whom Slack has become an indispensable part of many teams’ work day! That’s why when Slack went down ten months ago, users blew up Twitter.

They responded to every complaint on social with speed and humility, and diligently shared regular updates until the issue was resolved, and the app was up and running again!

Salesforce

Transparency can leave a huge impact on the ones who are on the receiving end of it. Salesforce has an excellent customer service, that plays a vital role in making it the customer’s favorite.

As they put it, “Success is built on trust.

Trust starts with transparency.”

Salesforce is so utterly customer focused and upholds transparency so much so that the company publicly disclose in real time when its cloud services are unavailable or face some reliance issues. Now that takes some nerve!

Apple

The one brand that has inspired the type of customer loyalty which sometimes borders on the maniacal, Apple earned its loyalty through their exemplary customer experience.

“You’ve got to start with the customer experience and work backward to the technology.”

Steve Jobs – Co-founder of Apple

While the Apple products are the very definition of innovation and ease, the real soul of the company is its employees. Apple mitigates the need for reactive customer service with a focus on building intuitive products and providing quality training for users.

Apple staff are highly knowledgeable and committed to passing on that knowledge in an empathetic way. They demonstrate enthusiastic, empathetic, and knowledgeable customer service. The sheer quality of training the staff undergoes make the entire customer experience seamless, and most of all, effortless.

Nordstrom

At a Nordstrom store, a woman lost her diamond from her wedding ring while trying on clothes. She was crawling on the floor under the racks when a store worker noticed her. He asked what was going on, then joined the search.

When they came up empty, he sought two building-services workers to join the search. To everyone’s relief, the finally found the shiny diamond on one of the bags of the store’s vacuum cleaners.

The video clips that captured this incident was shared proudly with the stakeholders in a meeting when the President of Stores Erik Nordstrom said, introducing his three employees who went out of their way to help the customer. “I’ve never been through a vacuum-cleaner bag. It’s kind of disgusting, this raises the bar,” he said!

Southwest Air

Southwest is not among the most well-known airlines in the U.S. for nothing. They have the most amazing personality as is evident from what they have to say about themselves on their website.

“We like to think of ourselves as a Customer Service company that happens to fly airplanes (on schedule, with personality and perks along the way).”

One of their memorable support stories is as follows: when a woman athlete landed at the airport but her running gear didn’t show up, she was understandably distressed about the relay race that was soon to happen. She resolved to go to Walmart to buy herself a replacement before a Southwest team member drove 3 hours to deliver the bag to her so that she could continue with her team and go on with the race.

As is evident here, their dedication to customer service is simply a class apart!

JetBlue

Who, but JetBlue has an exclusive Customer Bill of Rights?

“JetBlue Airways is dedicated to bringing humanity back to air travel. We strive to make every part of your experience as simple and as pleasant as possible.” They ensure that their service is thoroughly human, especially on social, responding within minutes, guiding customers throughout, and responding with emojis and GIFs to any questions customers might have.

They have no qualms whatsoever when it comes to delivering personal service. One time, when the customer’s flight was delayed and it seemed like she was going to miss her second flight too, the manager booked her another flight home that took off from another airport and made the effort to drive her to another airport so she would make her flight on time.

It only takes a handful of disastrous customer experiences to shatter the credibility that took your brand decades to built. It pays to be long-term greedy and leave no stones unturned to ensure a supreme customer service.

The COVID-19 expert panel of the Government of India had predicted a few days earlier that the much feared Third Wave of the pandemic could start in the month of September or even in August 2021 and is likely to peak in October. The panel sounded a sinister warning that daily cases could reach 4 to 5 hundred thousand (lakh) or more, and accordingly they recommended further strengthening of the health infrastructure of the country in terms of ICU beds, beds with ventilators and oxygen. There has also been a fear that it could infect a large number of children and some states of India are already on the job of creating more pediatric facilities in hospitals. The panel, however, said there is still lack of data to confirm such a fear. In the meantime the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) had already approved India-made Zydus Cadila’s Zycov-D vaccine for emergency use for children above the age of 12 and the vaccination process is likely to start from the month of September 2021. This is a big boost for reopening high schools, but no breakthrough has been made so far to vaccinate children below 12 due to which the reopening of primary school hangs in uncertainty that has been affecting children of the rural areas severely, creating a digital divide in the country.

Although the warnings of the panel come as a timely step to encourage people to go for vaccination and go on following the COVID protocols strictly and also to further strengthen the health sector, it could also be seen as an over-cautious approach in light of what happened in the disastrous second wave. This assertion is due to the fact that it is still not certain if the second wave had indeed concluded; there are still fluctuations in daily cases in at least six states including primarily Kerala and Maharashtra while in in the rest of the country the spread has more or less been controlled. Further, the fluctuations of the country’s daily cases have largely been due to Kerala and Maharashtra, and even though the new variant Delta Plus has infected around 60 people in Maharashtra it being a variant of concern and its likely spread is not yet confirmed even after extensive genome investigations. These are indeed hopeful trends and it would be the best thing to happen to the pandemic-ravaged country if the third wave is effectively prevented.

In this perspective comes the statement made to the Indian media by the Chief Scientist of the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr. Soumya Swaminathan that the COVID-19 pandemic in India may have reduced to an endemic as the fluctuations in daily cases have been confined to only limited areas and there has been no exponential rise in infections in the last 2-3 months. She, however, cautioned that large chunks of the Indian population are still susceptible to infections as the fully vaccinated people of the country is hardly 10%, and therefore the rate of vaccination must be speeded up immediately. In support of her theory the fluctuations in daily cases have been found to be limited to a few geographical areas only as we already mentioned, and she further said that such fluctuations are likely to continue. Here, we must mention the immunity data that we presented in an earlier piece where the immensity of the second wave was established in terms of huge number of deaths and infections all across the country, not officially endorsed.

Dr. Swaminathan’s endemicity probability theory is a kind of mixed news for us all. The good news part of it is that the third wave may not possibly invade the country as feared, and the disappointing part is that the SARS-Cov-2 virus is never going to leave us alone. This brings us to the meaning and implications of an endemic. The endemic is a disease that stays always in particular parts of a country, but it is mostly predictable as far as the number of affected people and the specified areas concerned. The WHO defines endemicity as “the constant and usual prevalence of a disease or infectious agent in a population within a geographic area”. There are more than a dozen endemic diseases in India including most prominently Malaria, virus-driven Hepatitis, chikungunya, chicken pox and rabies, dengue, kala-azar, scabies leprosy, encephalitis, viral fever, cholera and others some of which can take the form of an epidemic at times. Even Diarrhoea sometimes becomes an epidemic from an endemic.

There are differences between endemic, epidemic and pandemics: the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) clarifies it as, “a disease is endemic when its presence or usual prevalence in the population is constant. When the cases begin to rise, it is classified as an epidemic. If this epidemic has been recorded in several countries and areas, it is called a pandemic”. In case, the COVID-19 pandemic has indeed become an endemic in India the strategies to control its possible spread within or outside the specified areas and prevent serious disease and deaths must be readied in advance. As we mentioned earlier an endemic can again become an epidemic and God forbid, considering the highly infectious nature of the Delta variant it can quickly convert itself into the form of a pandemic.

Whatever unfolds in the near future, we must get ourselves vaccinated as fast as possible the responsibility for which continues to rest with the Government of India, and it is almost conclusively proved that the vaccines can prevent hospitalization and mortality, if not infections or rarely re-infections; there has also been deliberations about giving vaccine booster shots to people who had taken the vaccine more than six months back across the globe; and that we must continue with wearing masks, stick to hand hygiene and maintain social distancing as far as possible without despairing for how long. We must accept that the virus is never going to leave us alone as per scientific data, and we can do nothing but positively hope for the best in the coming months or years.

Matthew 7: 13-14 puts it: “enter ye through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate that leads to hell”. A most telling verse indeed. In light of Coronavirus, to where exactly is this instructional verse guiding. Regards overall health, how do we interpret this verse specifically regards Coronavirus contagion?

By the end of this article, matters in this area should become much more clearer. That, regards COVID-19, we’re not helpless, not at all, in fact, the reverse.

The truth is, we’re each inner equipped with dynamics of prevention and healing specifically regards the situation pertaining globally.

But, until we connect consciously with this protection dynamic, and upload it practically into consciousness, then scriptures as these remain at their intellectual value only. Thus the need of reading the above scripture esoterically, as opposed to literal. Surface reading alone of this, or any scripture, does not alter the state of the soul.

More than ever, it’s time for moving into personal empowerment or direct experience of the innately present divine within each of us. Time for evolving beyond limiting dogmas and belief systems, into authentic spiritual maturity in God-Presence consciousness.

Remembering, that, biblical ‘church’ is not referring to a physical building, but one’s consciousness. Similarly, the biblical term ‘Jew’ refers to ‘inwardly’ — one seeking God within. The term is not referring to the Jewish nation or its people. Thus the words on top of the crucifixion read: ‘hail king of the Jews’ meaning, praise be the inwardly directed soul seeking their own Christ within.

This Matthew scripture, therefore, is referring to our being ‘inwardly’, being in narrow gate status as opposed to outwardly — wide gate orientation.

At our core, we’re each ‘inwardly’: we’re each seeker’s.

To this end, understanding keyphrases in the above scripture, is vital.

So,

What does narrow and wide gates mean?

‘Gate’ is an avenue of sense experience, and ‘narrow’ is inward focus.

Wide gate is referring to the outer world, to the incessant activity of the scattered mind and its attraction or association with the conditioned five senses.

So, there are two gates. One leading to heaven the other to hell. The gate to heaven is the strait, or narrow gate – meaning to be inwardly seeking – and the gate leading to hell is the outer wide gate of sense consciousness.

The questions arise: what practicalities are involved in entering the narrow gate? Where are these two gates located, and how does one enter through the narrow gate? Do we enter with our belief systems, our creeds, our faith-flags, or with what?

In other words, what is the password?

Answers

The narrow gate is mental convergence — a means of self-realization — and is located in the brain. The wide gate functions under the law of spiritual ignorance, here referred to as hell. And the password is, ‘meditational silence’.

Mastering these two ‘gates’, by applying the password practically, are our protection means against COVID-19. It does so by creating invincible immunity.

Commencing Inwardly

Both gates initially represent polar opposite functioning’s, and for good reason. The reason being, that we must choose one gate standard over the other. Then, having chosen to be inwardly — narrow gate — we make practical progress in that direction: commence the inward journey of knowing God directly. This process — which will be explained — considering the tangible rewards of heaven and health, is not difficult but requires commitment and dedication.

Wide gate consciousness satisfies mind-senses only, while Spirit or narrow gate satisfies the heart,

Narrowing the focus

So, ‘the narrow gate’ initially is about NARROWING the wide gate: narrowing the active intellect. Narrowing the activities of the incessant conscious thinking mind and its attraction with the outer world. Narrowing the mental focus is how the senses become withdrawn from their objects, thus transforming wide gate experiencing.

Wide gate activity causes loss of spiritual identity, hence the expression ‘what good in conquering the world, if in doing so, we lose our soul’.

We’re born into wide gate standard, hence the need of God-given faculties in bringing about narrow gate standard, thereby access to kingdom of heaven awareness.

Miracle of Convergence

Narrowing of the wide gate, therefore, is one of mental convergence.

Convergence, by transforming wide gate into narrow gate, or, into single-eye awareness, performs as miracle-like activity, in that, convergence facilitates co-existence, whereby both gates function synergistically as one – ‘as above so below’.

Repeated arriving at convergence allows the brain adapt to handling two states of awareness simultaneously: world consciousness and eternal consciousness. Prior to dual state of awareness, the brain functioned only in mono.

When converged state becomes established, we’re no longer under the ignorance-compelling influences or dominance of wide gate attractions: we now make conscious decisions. The brain re-calibrates from mono, allowing the nervous system experience time and timelessness — relative and absolute — simultaneously. Remembering that we come in to this world uploaded in mono only.

In other words, when convergence matures, then narrow-gate-wide-gate transform to become infinity and point awareness simultaneously. I say mature, because, there is so much bliss on contact with point, in mature narrow gate, that the nervous system needs time to acclimatize, become cultured into withstanding waves of bliss. Thus it takes repeated practice for the physiology to adapt.

Biblically, point is referred to as ‘the least among you’, for there’s nothing smaller than least. Once we gain mature ‘least’ — point-contact, or mature narrow gate awareness — the soul is liberated to surf conscious infinity — the non-permeated state of Being.

Relevance of Aum and the Pineal gland

Let us now introduce the vehicle of convergence, the mantra, Aum.

As mentioned, in order to transcend sense activity, we must hone the mental faculties by means of convergence. In achieving this, the brain adjusts to the reverberations of Aum. Aum mantra is the subtle humming sound of the universe. When this sacred vibratory sound oscillates at between 1-3 cycles per second, the brain attunes itself cosmically or Godly.

This inner hearing of Aum, at the subtle level, takes the awareness naturally between the eyebrows, to the pineal gland at the center of the brain. The eyes, in meditation, will automatically travel upwards converging themselves between the eyebrows.

Some may be familiar with certain crucifixion images, where Jesus’ eyes — on the cross — are open and clearly directed to this converged point between the eyebrows. There is how the pineal gland is accessed for its spiritual and health benefits. This gland, therefore, equates to the biblical narrow gate, or point awareness.

There is a bust statue of the pineal gland in the garden section of the Vatican. This symbol is never spoken about, and, yet its esoteric message is vital particularly during this present pandemic.

Pineal experience transcends belief systems.

The pineal is where biblical Jacob (symbolism for the as yet non-redeemed soul) saw the face of God (Bliss). ‘Face of God’ is referring to the image and likeness or God-nature awaiting stimulation into consciousness, into our lives as direct Presence experience. The pineal centre is where lower ego – wide gate — gets ‘crucified’. It’s also referred to as ‘place of the skull’ – or ‘mount’, meaning highest point of awareness. In other words, in meditation, when awareness transcends, it become Mount awareness.

Optimizing inner hearing

Many are familiar with chanting of that most revered mantra, Aum or Om.

We’re now going to show just how this wonderful mantra can be experienced even more purely.

In verbal chanting, we’re familiar only with hearing Aum at surface decibel level, and this is beautiful, of course. But, for many, verbal chanting may not be practical in confined residential quarters.

So, let’s say our normal chanting of Aum is through the surface decibel level. Now, commence hearing verbally at surface level, for, let’s say, 30 seconds. Then, cease verbal recitation and continue hearing the same mantra sound silently within – go into ‘minus’ decibel level depth. We’re now deepening the inner hearing gate to 4-7 cps, (cycles per second) this is Theta healing state.

With sustained practice, we can deepen to 1-3 cps, this is called Delta state. This is God-Vibration state.

A practice run

Be seated with closed eyes. Commence surface hearing of Aum for about 30 seconds then switch to ‘hearing’ Aum silently within.

If the mind drifts into wide gate, and it will — this is why we practice — pause for about 3 seconds, then resume inner ‘hearing’. Each resumed ‘hearing’ will be from a deeper level. This gate-narrowing from surface activity to cosmic silence, equates to disease-free or divine standard of consciousness.

we come to understand, that, point and infinity are equal: neither are permeated by time, space and causation. Therefore, issues as COVID-19 do not exist here. And if the whole global population entered into point awareness or Pure consciousness daily, the world would not be closed down as pertains presently. But, this too shall pass.

Finally, to complete Matthew 7–13-14 above, we need to clarify Matthew 22–14. This verse is piotal.

It states:

‘Many are called but few are chosen’

This verse is directly connected to the wide gate, narrow gate dynamic.

The fact is, through birth, we’ve each alreadybeen chosen, or invited to the wedding feast, to the kingdom of God within: each is invited to enter through the narrow gate. In other words, we’re each bestowed off divine Potential for realizing Godliness within consciousness. Each is given potential of self-realizing ‘image and likeness of God’ by conscious choice.

Thus we ‘choose’ or make ourselves ‘chosen’.

‘Image and likeness’ realization is for the purposes of living divine standard through faith-infused consciousness. This faith is not for selective material possessions only, but universal throughout all aspects of our life. Developed faith equates to developed silence, which represents cosmic standard of consciousness or direct alignment in God-nature.

We’ve all been chosen or given an invite to this divine standard. But, weather we choose to go to the wedding feast — choose to converge and go through narrow gate of silence experience — is our choice. In this context, God does not force or choose any of us, as such, we make ourselves chosen.

The word ‘many’ means ‘all’, and the word ‘few’ means ‘none’ and the word ‘chosen’ refers to choosing ourselves, choosing narrow gate over wide gate.

For many, in the beginning, this path can pose personal challenges. But that’s exactly what it’s supposed to be: a challenge of integration and transformation. And this is why many initially do not find the narrow gate, because they have not consciously decided in finding it.

In the above scriptures, we’re asked to surrender sense-consciousness for the period of meditation. In meditation, we relinquish wide gate for narrow gate, relinquish lower standard for divine or white garment standard. Repeated meditation ensures we’re wearing a white garment at the wedding feast. White garment is achieved by entering through the narrow gate repeatedly, leading to purification,.

In conclusion

Meditation is similar to entering the silence cave within, then re-emerging. But, on re-emergence, we’re not leaving the cave behind, rather we’re taking its pure silence with us. Each time we enter the cave and re-emerge, we grow abuntdantly more in pure silence and stillness. Thus each entry into meditation ensures retention of deeper cave-silence, when, at a certain point, cave silence becomes permanent.

Thus, situations as COVID-19, due to our now invincible immune system, born of converged narrow gate silence, have no effect on us. Blessings.

It’s been nearly – two years, since the time, most believe, this horrific pandemic began infecting humans! We seem to have lost many opportunities, by failing to act, when needed, in a well – considered, timely manner, under the auspices of scientific and medical experts and professionals! Over 800, 000 Americans have lost their lives (and, probably, even more), and several million, world – wide, and tens of millions (and more) have been infected, to various degrees, etc! It seems, every time, we feel, we have taken a step – forward, in this battle, the virus has mutated, and we end of losing more ground. The original version, the Delta variant, and now, Omicron, have shown, amazing resiliency, and deadly – power! Even, with the fast, roll – out, of the vaccinations, which are believed to be, the best ones, ever, created to combat any virus, etc, we still are losing lives, and many are infected, etc! It seems, we have lost, 2 years, as well, and economies, as well as economic conditions, world – wide, continue to suffer! Many supply chains, employment, and mental health, have been victims, also! Many now believe, we may, and probably won’t, ever, be totally – rid, of this, but, will, more – likely, transform, into an endemic, such as influenza (the flu etc). That means, we will begin to consider it, as, with – us, and a part – of, our normal, every – day, lives, and, instead of seeking to eliminate it, and/ or, a cure, will, most likely, require, a series of booster – vaccines, etc, and some common sense, public health, to significantly, minimize, the overall – impact! With, that in mind, this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, 5 considerations, going – forward.

1. Pace of vaccinations/ vaccinated, versus, the mutation rate, etc: Unfortunately, many are, their own, worst enemies, and pay, more attention to empty promises, conspiracy theories, and, so – called, alternative approaches, and/ or, denials/ minimizing, than, listening to the experts, and doing their part, by getting vaccinated, and, wearing a mask, social distancing, etc! Although, there will be, break – through, cases, for the most part, we believe, these will be mild, and most of the serious cases, hospitalizations, and deaths, will be, from the unvaccinated, and immuno – compromised, etc! If, more got the shot, these mutations, would have, far – fewer, places, to breed, etc!

2. Worldwide rate: This is a worldwide, public health crisis, and, since, there are significant, socioeconomic differences, between the wealthier, and poorer nations, the risk is compounded! Although, President Biden, has pledged and committed, many millions, of treatment doses, many other nations, have not – yet, stood – up, to the plate!

3. Transmission, versus, severity: One of the challenges, to the testing process, is, so many are presently, tested, and the results are imperfect, non – symptomatic, as well as more – severe, cases, are counted, equally! How many people, annually, catch the flu, but, don’t know, and it is never reported, because the result, may be, not – severe?

4. Will we begin to witness, broader, acceptance of common sense, public health measures?: This battle must be continuous, and persistent! We cannot stop using common sense, in the quest, to reduce the impacts! Why do we continue, witnessing, so many, who won’t get vaccinated, use public spacing, and/ or, wear a mask, when appropriate? Why should this be a political issue, when it needs to be, a public health – focused, one?

5. Ease/ convenience of more – reliable testing: Today, most testing is either, hard – to – locate, costly, inconvenient, and, many results, are false – positives, and/ or, negatives! We need to address how, to improve this component!

Even though, many feel pandemic – fatigue, stopping, smart, public health approaches, now, will make the worst impacts, continue, longer, than otherwise! This virus, unfortunately, will, most – likely, be with us, for a significant period of time, and we must discover the best way, to transform, to endemic conditions, wisely, and, in the safest, smartest manner!

In the recent cricket Test Series between England and India the 2-1 result in favour of the visitors still hangs in balance entirely due to the fact that a few non-playing members of Team India were found COVID-19 positive which implies that the fifth and the last Test had to be cancelled only because of India’s fault even though not a single playing member of the team got the infection. Now, the change in travel regulations for Indians visiting United Kingdom could be a fallout of the cricket hanger, meaning that the Indians are feared as more prone to getting or spreading the COVID-19 virus with its variants; that India is the originator of the more infectious Delta variant which is again mutating into the Delta Plus; and perhaps also possibly that the handling of the Second Wave of the pandemic in India had been disastrous. Therefore, basically the Englishmen could be feeling insecure with vulnerable Indians loitering around in their territories after sort of achieving the feat of living with the virus and opening up everything including the cricket stadiums to the crowds without the necessity of even masks. They are conveniently forgetting the basic truth that vaccine breakthroughs are possible also for fully vaccinated people everywhere in the world, not just India.

What the UK government has done is very wrong, unexpected and absurd: that the Indian travellers, irrespective of vaccinated or not, will have to undergo at least two RT-PCR tests and have to be on 10-day quarantine after arriving there. Apart from the unnecessary inconvenience and exorbitant costs involved, particularly for the Indian students going there to study, this basically implies that the vaccines in India are fakes, and a fully vaccinated person in India becomes ‘unvaccinated’ once s/he arrives in UK. Why? The Indian vaccine Covishield is in fact a licensed product of UK, being the officially valid version of their homemade AstraZeneca vaccine developed by the Oxford University, and in more significantly India had exported millions of doses of Covishield to their country earlier. The fully India-made Covaxin has been proved to be as effective as any other vaccine of the world in preventing at least the serious form of the disease and hospitalization.

The Government of India and the Ministry of External Affairs have already lodged a strong protest with the United Kingdom government calling the measures discriminatory and also warned of adopting reciprocal action. If unresolved, this is going to seriously hamper the healthy bilateral relations between the two countries. The UK foreign department has assured India of a re-look into it, but so far the discriminatory regulations are not lifted. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also rebuked UK for such actions. However, it is the WHO that has not yet approved either Covishield or Covaxin for emergency use all over the globe despite the former’s link to the approved AstraZeneca and the latter being proven safe and effective. This raises a crucial question about the authenticity of the respective drug regulatory authorities of various countries: are all the regulators only country-specific and not valid for other regulators? This absurd situation must change, if only to give the proper respect to the medical scientists and experts involved tirelessly in the vaccine-making and the approving process in the shortest possible time. And the Indians figure prominently in the number of medical scientists or experts involved in the process across the world, apart from the fact the India has been the largest vaccine supplier to the world.

Earlier the discussion had been about ‘vaccine nationalism’; now as the situation warrants we’ll have to discuss about the syndrome of the ‘vaccine superpowers’ and the inequalities emerging out of that with one block denying or not recognizing the other block. For example, the Russian and the Chinese vaccines are yet to be accepted across the globe without WHO approval. Former US President Donald Trump still seems to have the trump card by giving everything, during his last year in office, into the development of the most modern Messenger RNA (mrna) vaccines, namely Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, which are available for use across the globe. However, developing countries like India and other poor countries cannot afford these vaccines due to very high prices and the storage hassles. Ultimately, the WHO has to take up such vexing issues as it had earlier made international sharing of the ready vaccines compulsory for all countries.

The absolutely wrong and the discriminatory measures of the United Kingdom, almost smacking of racism, must be lifted as soon as possible and the WHO must expedite the approval process of the Indian vaccines and other proven vaccines of the world. The priority should be completely on freeing Planet Earth from the curse of the pandemic in the fast track, and definitely not on rivalries, racism, nationalism and bilateral or international fights or skirmishes.

As per latest reports UK has included Covishield in their list of approved vaccines which would take effect only from 4th October 2021. But to confound matters further the authorities have refused to accept India’s CoWin vaccine certificates, and this means the 10-day quarantine plus tests continues still for Indian travelers.

A pestilence is a fatal epidemic disease. Even during a time when there is little epidemic disease raging on humankind, diseases of some sort typically account for the top ten or more means of death of humans in most years.

The one that stands out in European history is the Bubonic Plague. That epidemic disease was eventually managed by universal improvements in hygiene, but it still exists and is still not curable today. Interestingly, that plague did not become (in the dark ages or any time yet) a pandemic. A pandemic is an infectious disease that is spread from one area of the world to other areas by hosts (animals, including humans).

Yesterday, November 26, 2021, mankind reacted to the disappointing news of a new, and potentially deadly variant of the COVID-19 (Corona virus Disease # 19), which gained recognition in early 2020, but likely had been active in an earlier year. The new variant, referred to as “The South African Variant,” then as “Omicron,” by the World Health Organization, appears to have acquired more resilience, a greater capacity to infect hosts, and it may have defenses against the current COVID-19 vaccine and the follow-on “Delta Variant” booster.

It appears that the original COVID-19 virus will mutate (evolve into variants) without regard to a season, which seems to distinguish it from influenza viruses, which tend to be most active in Winter months (wherever there is Winter in the world). Influenzas have become pandemics in the past, but have abated as winter ends. Worldwide, in the Fall, pharmacies provide an influenza vaccine that is a cocktail of substance designed to stimulate human antibodies against the top 3 predicted types of flu. The effectiveness of the annual vaccine depends on the prediction and on other factors specific to each human who gets the vaccine.

The hope is that COVID-19 variants can be managed the same way, but as silly as this sounds, “the virus has a vote,” so to speak. So far, mankind reacts to the variants, although, no variant yet has disrupted humanity worldwide to the same degree that original COVID-19 did in 2020/early 2021. Web search “Dots of Red,” a poem about disease written by Poet Gabepal. Find a line in his poem: “Neither prayers or demonstrations halted the advance.”

Web search Matthew 24: 7. This is a quotation from Jesus, the Christ. Pestilence is mentioned as one of the universal plagues that we must suffer. He says these things will come and go, and will not be the end of mankind. He does not say why, but come on, you know why don’t you? In our time, so many people think they should live only to get something for themselves, to do the most heartbreaking things to others in order to elevate themselves, to murder children in their mother’s womb by the multi-millions, and now they have the audacity to tell God himself to step aside while we save the planet. I think that we should make changes in our lives that go far beyond protecting ourselves from COVID-19 variants, before God withholds his grace from us, and begins the long march to wrath so painful that we beg him to end mankind.
