Psalm 21

A psalm of David.

1 The king rejoices in your strength, Lord.
    How great is his joy in the victories you give!

2 You have granted him his heart’s desire
    and have not withheld the request of his lips.
3 You came to greet him with rich blessings
    and placed a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 He asked you for life, and you gave it to him—
    length of days, for ever and ever.
5 Through the victories you gave, his glory is great;
    you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.
6 Surely you have granted him unending blessings
    and made him glad with the joy of your presence.
7 For the king trusts in the Lord;
    through the unfailing love of the Most High
    he will not be shaken.

8 Your hand will lay hold on all your enemies;
    your right hand will seize your foes.
9 When you appear for battle,
    you will burn them up as in a blazing furnace.
   The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath,
    and his fire will consume them.
10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth,
    their posterity from mankind.
11 Though they plot evil against you
    and devise wicked schemes, they cannot succeed.
12 You will make them turn their backs
    when you aim at them with drawn bow.

13 Be exalted in your strength, Lord;
    we will sing and praise your might.

What’s interesting in the news today?

Open Thread

For your consideration and comments this morning, I’d like to discuss the elephant in the room. The part of the discussion that the “experts” on TV and at the CDC largely continue to ignore and leave out; what about us folks who had Covid-19 already, and have natural immunity?

There are very few studies even looking into the matter. So first up, here’s a brief segment I taped yesterday while watching Admiral Brett Giroir, former Asst. HHS Secretary speaking on Fox News.

Anything in RED is a link.

Some things that stood out in the video….

“No data to suggest that vaccine immunity is any better than natural immunity…”

“proof of Covid infection, right now, that’s still equivalent to vaccine immunity, even the CDC recognizes that…”

“when businesses reopen they should consider natural immunity, vaccine immunity, or frequent testing all equivalent….”

——-

First off, why no data? Seems kind of important, no? It seems like something that has the potential to offer protection to millions of folks like me who’ve had it and thankfully survived. Shouldn’t that be part of any discussion on the matter?

There is some data, but it’s not always easy to find. Here are a few I’d recommend reading.

The first 2 touch on the subject of natural immunity, and also what they perceive is the reluctance of authorities to openly discuss the issue.

First, from SHARYL ATTKISSON

Covid-19 natural immunity compared to vaccine-induced immunity: The definitive summary 

Next, from the American Institute for Economic Research

Why Is There Such Reluctance to Discuss Natural Immunity?

——-

To finish up, here’s one more from Israel.

From Israel National News

Nearly 40% of new COVID patients were vaccinated – compared to just 1% who had been infected previously.

While infections from the Delta variant after getting the vaccine are rising quickly, the numbers for those with natural immunity are notably lower. They don’t seem to be as susceptible to reinfection from the Delta variant.

There is clearly a large percentage of the population, as much as 35%, that have had the disease and recovered, yet we continue to be left out of the discussion. That needs to change. 

The CDC estimates there were already 120 million Americans infected with Covid-19 out of 330 million Americans. They should all have a level of natural immunity. These numbers are the most recent available, updated July 27th, 2021.

From the CDC

Estimated COVID-19 Burden

——-

An honest discussion of vaccines and vaccine hesitancy cannot occur without including this info in the equation. You cannot leave 1/3 of the country out of the discussion. The govt and medical “experts” need to start mentioning these facts. They’re pitting the vaccinated against those who aren’t, when a huge portion of those yet unvaccinated don’t even need it. It’s time the public and our govt stop ignoring us, and/or treating us like second class citizens for daring to refuse a vaccine we don’t need. The risks with these experimental vaccines just aren’t worth it for us.

I hope everyone takes the time to check out the links and honestly consider the matter.

Psalm 20

A psalm of David.

1 May the Lord answer you when you are in distress;
    may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
2 May he send you help from the sanctuary
    and grant you support from Zion.
3 May he remember all your sacrifices
    and accept your burnt offerings.
4 May he give you the desire of your heart
    and make all your plans succeed.
5 May we shout for joy over your victory
    and lift up our banners in the name of our God.

   May the Lord grant all your requests.

6 Now this I know:
    The Lord gives victory to his anointed.
   He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary
    with the victorious power of his right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
    but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
8 They are brought to their knees and fall,
    but we rise up and stand firm.
9 Lord, give victory to the king!
    Answer us when we call!

Psalm 19

A psalm of David.

1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
    the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
    night after night they reveal knowledge.
3 They have no speech, they use no words;
    no sound is heard from them.
4 Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
    their words to the ends of the world.
   In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.
5  It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
    like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens
    and makes its circuit to the other;
    nothing is deprived of its warmth.

7 The law of the Lord is perfect,
    refreshing the soul.
   The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,
    making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the Lord are right,
    giving joy to the heart.
   The commands of the Lord are radiant,
    giving light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is pure,
    enduring forever.
   The decrees of the Lord are firm,
    and all of them are righteous.

10 They are more precious than gold,
    than much pure gold;
   they are sweeter than honey,
    than honey from the honeycomb.
11 By them your servant is warned;
    in keeping them there is great reward.
12 But who can discern their own errors?
    Forgive my hidden faults.
13 Keep your servant also from willful sins;
    may they not rule over me.
   Then I will be blameless,
    innocent of great transgression.

14 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
    be pleasing in your sight,
    Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
