Anthony Fauci knew Remdesivir and ventilators were killing people and he still pushed it as hospital protocol while making Ivermectin and Hydroxichloroquine impossible to get.
He was the virus.
Fauci is pure evil and should be the first to pay.”
I don’t know if ventilators we’re killing people or not. It’s likely that staying completely unconscious on one would have a bad outcome. Husband refused to be put in a medical coma on the vent. He was conscious enough to participate in his own recovery. Although I will say we were told before he went on that he would never come off of it—that he would die on it. But he was dying anyway in front of my eyes. God is so merciful.
My friend who spent a month in a coma from Covid verifies that the 02 was feeding the Covid virus. This was confirmed by the Dr, and the hospital changed protocol over it.
“A bombshell study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, confirms ventilators killed more COVID-19 patients than the virus itself, triggering deadly bacterial pneumonia in ICU wards and vindicating conspiracy theorists who’ve been sounding the alarm for years.”
Yes, AJ, pneumonia is always a problem when you’re laid up and your lungs are affected. People who were not conscious to let the nurse know they needed to have their lungs “suctioned” to clear fluids (which could be every 15 minutes or so) would be far more likely to fall prey to pneumonia.
And people had no advocate in the covid ward except the nurses or doctors because nobody else was allowed in. Most were very good, but husband had one doctor who came in and told him ‘your numbers are going the wrong way, you’re not going to make it’. And walked out. And that was long before he was ventilated.
NJ, it is a horrible situation. We certainly have our own set of issues in Georgia, but nothing like that.
I.Cannot.Imagine.

Re: 9:38 – Where was I then? I have never seen that.
It is a logical fallacy (whether it is listed as one or not) to make the oft-claimed accusation that “the same people who. . .” didn’t make a fuss about an incident when done by one person/group are now making a fuss about it being done by a different person/group. (Unless one has a scorecard somewhere, keeping track of who said what.)
That reminds me of something I read recently that touched on a thought that I have had. Preachers or writers often say “The same people who were shouting ‘Hosanna!’ as Jesus entered Jerusalem were the same who were shouting ‘Crucify Him!’ a week later.” But there is no evidence of that, it is merely conjecture, although there may have been – maybe even probably was – some overlap.
Anyway, if pointing out that our president’s joke could be highly offensive to the Catholics (who are worldwide, and take their pope very seriously) is clutching my pearls, then so be it.
After 30 minutes of doomscrolling, watching cable news, or catching up on the latest headlines, how many of us walk away with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control? Anyone?
The fruit of the Spirit is the fundamental hallmark of a transformed life with Christ. But when we consume news haphazardly, we often spiral into distinctly joyless, impatient, ungentle, and not peaceful modes of doom and gloom. We can even justify our anger and anxiety in the name of being clear-eyed about our culture’s not-so-great trajectory. Worse, we can judge others who aren’t as “in the know” as we are, assuming their relative peace in the face of troubling news is a sign of apathy or lacking compassion.
Our news habits are toxic. The world trains us in patterns that are deadly for our souls. Constant attention to partisan, tragic, inflammatory headlines leaves us divided, angry, and anxious. These news patterns can lock us into a cycle that’s out of sync with the good news of Jesus. …
1. Set boundaries.
If we’re not intentional about how we consume the news, the news will consume us. It’ll find us at all hours of the day, insisting on our attention with its urgency. We’ll be dragged into fear and frustration before we’ve even stopped to consider whether a headline is worth our time. …
The boundaries suggested:
Don’t get your news from partisans. Partisan news sources form us into loyalists for tribes rather than ambassadors for Christ.
Don’t get your news from social media. Opinions from dubious sources and vitriol-filled comment sections are rarely thoughtful and helpful.
Don’t spend more time in the news than you do in the Word. Technology makes it easy to binge news all day, every day. But we’re better off designating short periods (5 to 15 minutes) to consume news intentionally, ensuring the Lord’s voice is more prominent than the perspectives of reporters and commentators.
Choose a brief, nonpartisan news roundup that gives you a broad understanding of what’s going on—just enough to allow you to know what’s on your neighbors’ minds, pray effectively, and respond as needed. … ~
…. (and) …. Pray and give thanks (before and after we consume the news), peace is “hard won,” Jesus was never “frantic” and he set boundaries; he made prayer a priority and he withdrew frequently; what is your mission?
“Virtues like peace, joy, and gentleness in the face of chaotic headlines will not come from consuming more and more information, aiming to be fully caught up on the cycle. They’ll come from recalibrating our news diets to align with the good news of Jesus.
This means, the author continues, cutting out what’s bad for you—manipulative, partisan, endless news—and replacing it with a leaner option. It means adopting a posture of grateful dependence on God rather than anxious rumination about the world’s many problems.”
And there’s also a book on this, as it turns out: “Scrolling Ourselves to Death: Reclaiming Life in a Digital Age”
lol dj. Relax. It’s just a conversation. Unlike some, I don’t get “set off” easily… well unless you’re trolling for war or are borderline blasphemous. Trump is treading the edge and it’s not funny.
Re Trump dressed up as the pope: as our head of state it’s probably inappropriate, but I have a hard time getting upset about it, simply because the position (pope) is one that invites mockery. It’s along the same lines as the cartoons a few years ago mocking an “honorable” world religion. No, the Pope is an anti-Christ, quite literally (standing in Christ’s place and claiming honor that belongs only to Christ).
I don’t think we have a biblical right to mock our political leaders. However, false religions receive plenty of mockery in the Old Testament and plenty of vitriol in the New; they are fair game.
Ha! I’m not touching that one other than to state the obvious. It’s not a matter of blasphemy but of wisdom. He could also barbecue pork hot dogs over a burning Koran (phone wanted to say Korean! ). It doesn’t hurt my feelings but for what purpose? Where’s the wisdom in doing that?
