Sleep on the bed you make

“Yet for Your sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter” – (Psalm 44:22)

Churches should not interfere in what is an essentially private health choice, esp the voluntary pursuit of immunity from the C19 superbug. This year (2021), tens of thousands of Singaporeans stepped forward of their own accord in the cause of medical science and public health and submitted to the jab, some 2x and a smaller number 3x times.

As a result, a small percentage in Singapore, and similarly in Israel and the US have in fact, been seriously injured or permanently damaged to validate the efficacy of this or that drug – let’s be clear; these are all interventions not without inherent risks. There will always be serious, adverse effects however you look at it. There is no such thing as a completely 100% safe pharmaceutical drug.

In my book, all drugs are guilty until proven innocent.

The mother who took Ivermectin and those who influenced her, the daughter who objected as well as those who supplied private opinions and perspectives – whether to vaccinate, or not, to use which pharma products, sourced in which countries and at what rate of success per millions of doses – all made choices on a “need-to-know” basis. You sleep on the bed you make.

Since it was thought that everyone would naturally comply to the best medical advice available from the MOH / MMTF, no further information was deemed necessary. Those who would take the jab would need no persuading and, no amount of evidence enough for those refusing. Singaporeans were therefore not exposed to the entire spectrum of possible vaccine-injuries leading to unreported or under-reported cases when things went wrong*

“Scientists worldwide apparently allowed themselves over the past 1 and a half years to be led toward totalitarian thinking,” she said of the COVID-19 pandemic, which began in December 2019. “What doesn’t fit their perspective must be silenced.”

Tamarah Benima, 71-year-old Reform rabbi from Amsterdam

When information is withheld to the public on a “need-to-know” basis, and when things go wrong, badly wrong, as in the case of this mother who took meds that she believed was a legitimate alternative (to vaccination) where does the fault lie in this case?

Every member in a society of free persons must make choices based on the best information available but if information is suppressed or curtailed for any reason, on whose shoulders should the blame lie – her church friends? her daughter? the individual sufferer? Which government in the world can ensure that all the information there is on a particular drug and its side-effects are made public knowledge?

Each of us, including family members must bear the consequences and costs. There is no point griping and complaining against this WhatApp group or that Telegram chat when in fact not all the evidence is in. When you have turn to a plethora of social media sites beyond Facebook, Whatapp and Telegram, etc tells you that not all the evidence is in.

Also not enough time has elapsed to know the true value of one drug over another x times the period of months, years and decades to know for sure. Why else would Temasek be looking for 2,000 Singaporeans to test drive the efficacy of the latest inactivated vaccines from China?

When we look back on this period, will we as a society have shown the graciousness and kindness this chapter in Singapore’s history deserves? Or will we have defaulted back to the blindspots that defined us in a previous era of the “ugly Singaporean” who was mollycoddled in a so-called “nanny state”?

^^Special note for Christians: Consequently, the unvaccinated should be accepted and not discriminated against based upon a presumed health immunity. We should avoid profiling people who come to the house of the Lord to pray according to our own sense of “clean” and “unclean” – we don’t do that for Aids patients or IO’s do we? … to do so is to sear the inner voice of conscience that must be preserved throughout and into the end time.

In the same way we accept and expect a variety of political affiliations, social, immigration, or economic status in church we should avoid differentiated measures in the Sanctuary unless previously sanctioned by a Board decision unanimously agreed upon.

If Christ calls a person “clean”, who am I to call “unclean”? Christianity has always benefited from its openness to people of different cultures and backgrounds always seeking common ground in order to share the gospel across boundaries – in a red-light district, among the poor or rich, the high or low, among the dialect speaking, etc
