Is the Church’s COVID-19 "vaccine" advocacy leading you astray? Could it kill you, or is it OK?

What if you decide not to take the jab?


It's become increasingly obvious that when it comes to taking the COVID-19 vaccination, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

In January (and again in March, in a General Handbook of Instructions update), the First Presidency said, "Individuals are responsible to make their own decisions about vaccination. In making that determination, we recommend that, where possible, they counsel with a competent medical professional about their personal circumstances and needs."  [1] 

Two months later, they added this statement to the General Handbook:

"Vaccinations administered by competent medical professionals protect health and preserve life. Ultimately, individuals are responsible to make their own decisions about vaccination. If members have concerns, they should counsel with competent medical professionals and also seek the guidance of the Holy Ghost." [2] 

So, what happens if your doctor and/or the Holy Ghost recommends not taking the jab, and you obey their advice? Clearly the church would discourage your dissing their advice.

But here's the deal: If you don't get the COVID-19 shot, you're considered a bad global citizen (and by implication, a bad Christian)…

"…the Church urges its members, employees and missionaries to be good global citizens and help quell the pandemic by safeguarding themselves and others through immunization."  [3]

…who is therefore unworthy to serve in significant church callings, like the Tabernacle Choir…


…and not supportive/sustaining of the Prophet (who got his jab while calling it a "godsend"): [4] 


To underscore its commitment to COVID-19 vaccination:
  • In February 2021, the church humanitarian aid non-profit, Latter-day Saint Charities, gave $20 million to support COVAX, a global campaign to provide 2 billion COVID-19 injections to people in low- and middle-income countries. [4]
  • On June 16, 2021, the church's Church Educational System Administration Board of Trustees (composed of the First Presidency and several apostles) announced that BYU-Hawaii students are required to get the COVID-19 jab in order to attend that school. [5] 
So there you have it: If you don't take the jab, then you don't sustain the prophet, the Brethren and the Church, you aren't a good citizen and you don't care about others' health. 

What if you decide to take the jab?


Obviously, you're going to be perceived as a good, obedient citizen, Christian and member.

But are there consequences as well?

I think there's a pretty good chance. Let's read Revelation 18:23: 

"And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived."

That's a pretty interesting verse right there when you read it in Greek. Take the word "sorceries," for example. In Greek it is the word pharmakeia - the root word for words we commonly use today, like pharmacist and pharmaceutical.

But have "all nations" been "deceived" about a pharmaceutical (specifically, the COVID-19 jab)?

On its way tripping over itself to embrace "the jab," have church leaders missed sight of the fact that the COVID-19 jab harms, injures and even kills people at rates never before seen and in ways which are undeniable?

Could they have been deceived, and in so doing, have deceived church members?

Let's take an in-depth look. Note that in these notes, I am wholly disinterested in conjecture, assumption and ill-founded conclusions. All I'm interested in are facts - and if stated by an expert, then all the much better. And if those facts are unjustifiably censored by Facebook and/or Google, then all the much better (because it's been my experience that those who seek to hide or bury truths are scared of them):



"A Global Faith Leader"

How can something so destructive be so praised by the church and its leaders?

Can a "prophet" ever mislead us? Here is what we are told:

As Pres. Dallin H Oaks recently stated,

“They [the apostles] teach and counsel as directed by the Holy Ghost, with no desire other than to speak what is true. Their voices can be trusted. Their voices are: clear, unpolluted, unbiased. You can always count on them. Neither the President of the Church, nor the First Presidency, nor the united voice of the First Presidency and the Twelve will ever lead the Saints astray or send forth counsel to the world that is contrary to the mind and will of the Lord.” [6]

"The Church of Jesus Christ has always been led by living prophets and apostles. Though mortal and subject to human imperfection, the Lord's servants are inspired to help us avoid obstacles that are spiritually life threatening and to help us pass safely through mortality to our final, ultimate, heavenly destination . . . While neither perfect nor infallible, these good men and women have been perfectly dedicated to leading the work of the Lord forward as He has directed." [7] 

Please review the facts regarding the jab I've included above. 
Do these facts demonstrate that "the Lord's servants" 
are helping you to "pass safely through mortality"?

Yet as I demonstrated in my past post, [1] We are told unequivocally NOT to trust in the arm of flesh, without exception and [2] prophets CAN screw up -- big time. It's happened before. Multiple scriptures and early church leaders repeatedly warned us not to trust in the arm of flesh, be they church leaders or not. 

Yet we, as a church culture, are instructed and advised to ignore such warnings, and that despite the absence of such, there's never, ever been an asterisk, exception or escape hatch to the "trust in the arm of flesh" injunctions.

Joseph Smith Jr. is considered the head of this dispensation. Here's what he said about trusting in the arm of (medical expert) flesh:

"I preached to a large congregation at the stand, on the science and practice of medicine, desiring to persuade the Saints to trust in God when sick, and not in an arm of flesh, and live by faith and not by medicine, or poison; and when they were sick, and had called for the Elders to pray for them, and they were not healed, to use herbs and mild food." [8]  

He later warned members about those physicians "going about the country pretending to cure you of all diseases, and you swallow what they give you like young robins, without knowing what it is. I wonder you don't die, taking their nostrums!"

Why is it that some are so eager to throw Brother Joseph under the bus and disregard his words? Why do they instead believe Russell M. Nelson is a prophet who's looking out for your best interests…when multiple, multiple facts prove otherwise?

Which prophet do you believe: Russell M Nelson (who trusts modern medical doctors) or Brother Joseph (who said we shouldn't)?

Could the tiebreaker be "By their fruits ye shall know them"? [9]  If that is the case, then what kind of fruits are the COVID-19 injections producing? What do the facts demonstrate?

Historically, prophets have warned mankind to repent. They were adamant that people not focus on the messenger, but the message, of repentance.  

These days, we are receiving NO message of impending destruction, 
but instead, a message to partake IN destruction.

With the church's steadfast, eager promotion of the COVID-19 injection, I'll leave it to you to evaluate the facts and judge if the church is misleading you today.

After all, the only thing hinging on your judgment is your mortal life (as you entrust your life, and the lives of your family, to pro-COVID-19 injection advocates) and your eternal soul (if you feel God's now OK with your trusting in the arm of flesh).

If (and likely, when) the mass casualties start happening, there's a very good chance that those who followed the prophet and got the jab will be fearful as they see the death count rise. What does one do in such an instance? How do we prevent and combat the inevitable despondency, depression and demoralization? [10]

I usually enjoy your posts. This one is completely unhinged though. Get the friggin vaccine so we can all get on with life.

Dave P. said...

I'm willing to bet that Nelson and any other church "leader" who posed for a photo op did not actually get the jab. There are countless examples of "leaders" where the photo showcases one of the following:

1. They're not actually being injected.
2. The cap is still on the needle.
3. The administrator is not wearing gloves.

As well as possibly:
4. They're being injected with something else.
5. They're using a spring-loaded needle that doesn't actually inject anything.

Given that none of these "leaders" have died from COVID or the jab (except the African leaders who smelled a rat and died under mysterious circumstances), there's no surprise they're all among the Gadiantons.

Latter-Day Truths said...

Dave P -- I suspect the same thing. I've also seen where a leader gets a photo op after having told the participants (in this case, the nurse), "We already did the real thing. This is just for PR purposes."

Now, show me an unedited, one-shot video with an injection needle sucking out vaccine from an unopened bottle, then injecting Nelson, THEN I might be convinced.

Dave P, the idea the vaccine shots were faked requires a conspiracy a mile high and a mile wide. It is easier to suppose (a) the vaccines were delivered as originally made knowing that the risk of adverse impact for those over 50 would be very low or (b) a placebo shot was given and only a few in the supply chain know this is what happened.

What is clear in the data is the vaccines are generally not prudent for those under 50 and they are especially risky and totally unnecessary for those under 30. That is what the data is showing. Do church leaders know this? How could they not know it? Will they do anything with this knowledge?

What will apostles and general authorities of the church who understand the truth choose to do? They won't all stay silent, will they?

For in those days there shall also arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch, that, if possible, they shall deceive the very elect, who are the elect according to the covenant.

"Dave P, the idea the vaccine shots were faked requires a conspiracy a mile high and a mile wide."

Not at all! All that's required is for RMS, DHO and the rest to tell the nurse in the photo that they actually already got the shot; this is just for publicity purposes.

That didn't take much at all, did it.

I will not be injected with this experimental poison for any church. I have turned to God. He told us not to fear and that he is the healer. I feel deep in my heart the vaccine with its Luciferace and 60606 patent is the “Mark of the Beast”. Now, your hand can glow to prove you have been vaccinated. A simple scan of the hand or head to enter a building to “buy or sell”. The members are asleep if they choose to be vaccinated and sadly, it won’t be without consequences.

Isaiah seems to suggest that despite L-dS leaders' belief in the efficacy of this gene therapy, they will nonetheless succumb to its effects. (see https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/ot/isa/28.14-22?lang=eng#p14)

Hi. I am a family doctor and thank you for getting this out and you have only presented about 25% or less of the sinister plan associated with this topic. I have had 5 weeks of immunology training in Europe, over 25 hours in vaccines here and have read on this topic six days a week for the last year and a half. It is dangerous, was developed as a biological weapon (stated by Chinese officials) and is a preparatory plan to do great harm.Plus it alters your genetic blueprint with no known off switch. If you have gotten it don't get any more.

Janeen said...

Dawn,
Many of us are getting on with life just fine without a vaccine. Have you considered those of us who are chemically nieve? I can barely take an antibiotic or have my teeth worked on without severe reactions. Please be kind enough to allow everyone their point of view.

Michael said...

Nope, sorry Dawn. I don't need genetic therapy to "get on with life".

Matthew Champneys said...

I don't believe that President Nelson is intentionally leading us astray. I think he's very concerned about the well-being of Church members and he is giving us his advice based on his personal opinion. I think he's making a colossal mistake, but I have no doubt his intentions are pure. The test for many of us is whether we can continue to sustain the Prophet even when he makes mistakes. My choice is to not get vaccinated, but I will continue to sustain him and the other brethren as best I can based on the guidance of the Holy Ghost. I won't let the imperfections of any man drive me away from the Church. It is the Church of Jesus Christ, not the Church of President Nelson. Agency is at the heart of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and he allows President Nelson to make his mistakes just like anyone else. Ultimately Jesus is in charge and things will work out the way he sees fit. But that doesn't mean it won't get messy and confusing and difficult along the way. God will try his people and we are all being tried right now in one way or another.

Matthew,

I don't think Pres. Nelson is concerned one iota about the well-being of Church members.
I do think he's giving us his advice based on his personal opinion, not by divine revelation.
I agree -- he's making a colossal mistake. One that affects the physical and spiritual lives of those he supposedly leads.
But I disagree with you that his intentions are pure. As I read your comment, please offer me the opportunity to respectfully disagree with you.

Mistakes like saying all his predecessors gave Satan victories because they used the word "Mormon" or telling a lie about a plane trip to St. George? OK, those are mistakes and really don't harm anybody but he and his reputation.

* But encouraging millions to take an injection which has undergone ZERO drug interaction studies, ZERO single-dose toxicity studies, ZERO toxicokinetic studies, ZERO genotoxicity studies, ZERO carcinogenicity studies, ZERO studies on pregnant women, and ZERO studies on pre-or post-natal development is not a mistake.
* Encouraging people to take said injection which has an Absolute Risk Reduction of 1-2%, is rapidly declining in effectiveness and rapidly makes your immune system impotent is not a mistake.
* Spending my tithing dollars to buy up billions in stocks of those very same injection manufacturers (who have paid billions in fines because they committed felonies) then telling us to trust and use those very same companies, is not a mistake.
* Hoarding of over $110 billion when it could be used for the benefit of the poor, sick, homeless, uneducated, widowed, widower or unemployed is not a mistake.
* Spending millions of tithing dollars on shopping malls, real estate investments, resorts and skyscrapers (which further the aims and objectives) of Babylon is not a mistake.
* Telling millions to trust government leaders is not a mistake.
* Ignoring the adverse effects these injections are inflicting on those who have received them (not to mention the doctors and nurses who administered said shots yet turn a blind eye to the adverse effects) is not a mistake.
* Consistently permitting members to call him a "prophet" when he's never prophesied once is not a mistake.
* Omitting even one mention during this pandemic of the health benefits of the Word of Wisdom is not a mistake.
* Allowing the church to hide its financial records (even though GBH said they’re available to church members) is not a mistake.

Never mentioning repentance -- not even once -- in the last year and a half as *the* *only* means of getting out of this pandemic is not a mistake.

Every couple of weeks, I read about another church leader who has been arrested for prostitution or molesting a child. Yet the church does absolutely nothing to prevent future incidents and, in fact, instructs victims to call Kirton McConkie's help line, not local law enforcement.

Do these sound like actions that God approves of? Are these mere "imperfections"? The actions of a well-intentioned leader?

Since when has God started endorsing trusting in the arm of flesh?

I agree with you that ultimately, Jesus is in charge and things will work out the way he sees fit.

He has told us what the unrepentant of Babylon have to look forward to. He has told us what those who trust in man (and pharmakeia) have to look forward to. And he has told us the fate of all those governments -- and all those leaders we're supposed to trust.

Messy? Confusing? Read the Book of Revelation. It's far worse than that.

And that's no mistake.
