One of the fascinating things I have found during the Covid scam and subsequent fake vaccine push has been the way that it has caused individuals to reveal themselves as to which side they stand in this spiritual war. The Covid scam was the cover to push the poisonous vaccines. Thus, one’s position on the vaxx is a litmus test on the road to battle. Some people, many people I would say, have taken the vaxx in good faith and now find themselves in spiritual as well as physical trouble. For those souls, you have my thoughts and prayers. But caught in their Limbo land they are not actively engaged in fighting us.
It is rather those that pertain to be on our side, on the side of God, and not some woke manifestation but the real God, but who actively side with the Enemy pushing the vaxx that trouble me the most. There is no more dangerous foe than the one in a position of authority in your own camp.
One of those who seems to have revealed himself in this manner is the philosopher and Catholic, Edward Feser. I discovered Feser through the excellent Synlogos feed which is now one of my main morning stopping points. Feser is always an interesting read and he gets many things right. He is also not afraid of taking the fight to the enemy. But in the last two days he has suddenly published not one but two articles as to why the vaxx is not a big deal at all.
The first was titled, Covid-19 Vaccination is not the hill to die on.
What should Catholics think about the Covid-19 vaccines and about vaccine mandates? I keep getting asked about this, so a post devoted to the topic seems in order. As I have said before, I think that the statement on these subjects issued last year by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) gets things exactly right. The vaccines can be taken in good conscience, but authorities ought to keep them voluntary rather than making them mandatory. (For those who are wondering, yes, I’ve been vaccinated, as have several other members of my family.)
This is known as getting with the program. Feser and his family have taken the vaxx so you should too as the CDF says it’s all on the level. You know, unless they make it mandatory, and here is where Feser begins to fall into a hole of his own making.
But how prudent or imprudent a policy is is a matter of degree. A certain tax policy, for example, might be extremely wise, merely defensible, merely ill-advised, outright foolish, or extremely foolish. The same thing can be true of a vaccine mandate.
Feser is presenting the general concept of tax policy as some sort of comparative example. This is a startling strawman argument; it is way beyond comparing apples and oranges. For a start, one does not inject tax policies, no matter how well or how badly written, into one’s body. But according to Feser, it’s just a vaccine like measles, mumps or rubella. Which is another dishonest comparison. These are not vaccines as John C. Wright has clearly defined:
A vaccine provokes the body’s immune response by introducing a nonlethal variant of the disease. This injects messenger-RNA strands into the body to instructs cells to create a SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, which provokes the immune response. Contrary to what the Orwellian-named so-called fact checkers say, RNA therapy is genetic therapy, not vaccination.
“… one’s position on the vaxx is a litmus test on the road to battle. Some people, many people I would say, have taken the vaxx in good faith and now find themselves in spiritual as well as physical trouble….”

Well, all my family members who did not already have natural immunity have had the COVID-19 shots. And NONE of us are in either spiritual or physical trouble.
But bless your little heart.
"One of the fascinating things I have found during the Covid scam and subsequent fake vaccine push has been the way that it has caused individuals to reveal themselves as to which side they stand in this spiritual war."
You mean like the neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin referring to the vaxxed as "tainted" and Tucker Carlson encouraging us to report parents who mask their children to the same government he says is trampling our liberties? Yes, the authoritarian streak of many conservatives and "conservatives" has been revealed. We all know what the actual Nazis did to those they considered "tainted".

I am vaxxed and I keep Ivermectin and HCQ handy in case I get a breakthrough infection. How about doing what seems to work and leaving the politics out of it? No other country politicized the pandemic as much as the US did, and they are better off for it.
That’s just silly to say. No one is forcing you to *not* take the vax.
One thing, I can always change my mind and get vaxed. You can not get unvaxed.
Not only you’re being pro abortion, but to use a dead child, so you can feel safe, would put you in spiritual danger.
But bless your little heart.
