I know in my own “fully” vaxxed family - daughter has had COVID three times, son, twice, son-in-law once.
My wife and I both recovered from COVID in November 2020, before the vaxx came out. I told her that we would not need it, having natural immunity, and declined to take it. She chose to Believe MSNBC, Fauci and Biden instead. Within ten days after her third jab she developed Parkinson's type symptoms, loss of balance and bouts of dementia. She had several falls, one of which resulted in surgery for an elbow fracture. She's now in long term care; the meds slow the progression but show no improvement. She's had COVID twice more. I have not had it, even in close contact with her while infected.

Both groups push false prophets (Joseph Smith and Charles Russell) that are outside the realm of Christendom.
But doesn't the Bible say that "WHOSOEVER believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life"? I don't see any codicil like "unless he believes in false prophets" there.
I've also heard of some fundamentalist Christian sects who consider Catholics non-Christian because of prayer to saints and following a pope. Don't their beliefs in Christ as Savior count? Again, I don't see "unless they only pray to Me directly and don't ask a Saint to do so on their behalf".
You and I know that Saints are dead people who will be raised up with all the rest on the last day. But a believer in Christ who "knows" that they are in Heaven interceding with God on his behalf still "believeth in Him".

The word “genocide” was invented from whole cloth by Polish Jew and lawyer Raphael Lemkin in about 1944 to describe Nazi Germany’s campaign to exterminate the Jews and the Poles.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but the tone of that sentence suggests that you may consider use of the word invalid. If Lemkin had not been a Jew, would it be acceptable?
All college sports programs should be disbanded. Intramurel only. No pre-professional teams. This would go a very long way to totally defunding the universities.
