Am I the only one wondering if Casey DeSantis’s breast cancer diagnosis (Oct 2021) is vax-related?

I feel like I’m one of the very few who remembers when Gov. DeSantis was all-in on the vaccines, and proudly proclaimed they were fully vaxxed. I also wonder if her diagnosis was the pebble that started his ball rolling more strongly toward alternate & early treatment, and eventually against the vax for wide swaths of the population.

Sounds plausible, maybe Jeff could ask him: What caused the 180 degree turn?

Expand full comment

A whole lot of us were fully in on the vaccines, including me. I volunteered for Pfizer's Phase 3 trial thinking I was doing my civic duty. At that time I was under the impression that vaccines were sterilizing. By the time I began to see the light a few months later it was too late. I was already "vaccinated." I would think millions of people accepted and trusted the CDC when they said these "vaccines" were safe and effective, including Gov. DeSantis.

Easy to have 20/20 hindsight.

You’re making a pretty strong accusation labeling all of those as RINO’s. Although there are a lot of RINO’s in Congress, I don’t believe Ron Johnson(WI) is one of them. He hosted a 4-5 hour Covid panel of experts that was televised and had a vast amount of excellent information by highly qualified professionals. I’m wondering if you’re controlled opposition that you would make those claims here, especially with those senators up for re-election in a week. A warning to all C&C readers, not every comment is legitimate. Be discerning.

Expand full comment

I don't know about Sen.Johnson, but, as much as I've been a huge fan of Rand Paul and his dad, I just found out that he and his wife invested big $ in Gilead, the maker of remdesivir. Paul also just introduced legislation to allow Pharma to bypass a critical phase of rx testing. Makes me sad.

Expand full comment

I would definitely delve into this more. Personally I don't think any sitting congressman or woman should hold direct investments in Pharma. To me it's just a big conflict of interest. I also think they should be audited every year. Rand Paul seems pretty transparent so maybe write/call his office and get right to the source. There is probably more to it than you know.

Expand full comment

Oh I definitely know that there's more to any of it than I know--or anyone else out here in the citizen's cheaper seats may ever know. One need only review the bank balances of Liz Warren or Nancy Pelosi to see how a six figure salary can magically turn into a millionaire's investment portfolio. I'm not suggesting their money merely comes from Pharma stock--it could also be coming from Raytheon or any other Military contractor source. What about the $80 Billion in weapons the US allegedly gave to Zelenskyy's military. Nancy and Mr Z both own multi-million dollar mansions in Florida! A pretty neat hat trick I dare say.

Expand full comment

My thinking too. I would ask Rand Paul. He's always been transparent and ethical.

Expand full comment

Yup...Always follow da moolah! I read an article that was published in the MSM channels(more or less) and I believe something like 400 congress members and senators hold stock in Pharma. CDC is a yuuuge money-maker, and Wall St always benefits. pax

"Houston...we have a problem." In accord with the alternative historical view: The District of Columbia is merely HQ for the U.S. Corporation[that is now bankrupt]. Anna Von Reitz recently posted an interesting article re two different textbooks used in schools until the Carter admin selected "US History" as the format used to indoctrinate students. The other textbook format teaches "American History" in AVR's reckoning. The DNC will have hell to pay when the DOJ is properly re-activated.

Rand Paul is NOT making points for a recent piece of legislation, eliminating "animal testing". Now, they can just run the experiments on humans directly, as we are witnessing with the injections. “Leaders of the Senate from both parties recognize that the United States must lift an archaic animal-testing mandate for drug development and replace that strategy with 21st-century methods grounded on human biology,” said Wayne Pacelle, president of Animal Wellness Action and the Center for a Humane Economy.

Expand full comment

Animal testing, sadly, was not eliminated. It is the mandate that was ended. So, they can still use animals for testing, but they are not required to do so.

I am wholly opposed to animal testing. They cannot understand nor give consent, they are simply used, cruelly abused, and killed. If you want to be truly horrified, look up vivisection.

If I find that an act on a person is immoral and unacceptable, how can I then find that same act is acceptable to do to an animal? I cannot.

Rand Paul certainly made points with me. It was a step in the right direction.

Expand full comment

It does seem like with all of the technology available, there could be some other effective way. Also a lot of the tests on animals don’t really end up translating to what happens in humans anyway.

Expand full comment

The 8 mice used in the testing of the bivalent covid booster would agree. Oh wait! The booster killed them.

When the meds work fine for animals, it is considered by scientists to be safe for men. when the meds kill the animals the scientist says, oh it will work out for humans. When it works for men it is automatically considered to be working for women. (mostly doses are too strong for women if they are okay for men)

My friend's husband has a biotech startup involving non-animal methods for drug testing. It's more accurate and cruelty-free.

Perhaps, but used unlawfully for decades and its leadership following unconstitutional orders that have resulted in uncountable millions of casualties.

Whatever "authority" Congress "gave" to the Executive is unlawful since Congress cannot delegate an authority it does not have nor can it delegate a responsibility it does have under the Constitution to either the Executive or Judicial.

I would add specific advice for the church that they really need to stop caring so much about signaling the world's twisted version of virtue. Learn to laugh at the absurdity rather than bow to it. Seriously read the Bee more. Train your smile-and-say-"no thanks" muscles. Good reputation is desirable but its price tag with most popular institutions right now is too hefty.

Be ready to laugh at petty tyrants, forgive those who were deceived, and bring those who did the deceiving to justice.

Expand full comment

Absolutely! Here are some of the things that some mainline Protestant churches in my neighborhood are doing/have done:

1) Fly "Black Lives Matter" and "Say Their Names" banners in front of the building.

2) Erect a new sign up front with the Gay Flag permanently incorporated into the sign.

3) Invite Reza Aslan, whose best-selling book proclaimed that Jesus was just another run-of-the mill zealot, to speak to the congregation just before Christmas, a few years back.

They'll do anything to separate themselves from those icky Christians who insist that the Bible is to be taken seriously.

Expand full comment

The Bible speaks of sins of commission and sins of omission. Even "good" churches, such as mine, have remained silent about what has happened since 2020. Our shepherds have not pulled the sheep back from danger and now we are seeing the resulting devastation, in the form of needless covid and vaccine deaths, as well as strokes, aggressive cancers, heart problems, neurological problems, and other debilitating vaccine injuries. It's so strange that it can't be mentioned. When I speak out, I'm usually met with uncomfortable silence or scolded by being told that the vaccines have kept many out of the hospital or, more maddening, that "I had all my shots and I'm fine!" When we finally get to the Nuremberg moment and it can't be hidden any longer, I want to see these people's faces. They will probably think the criminals are being treated unjustly. It will be too painful to realize that they allowed themselves to be so thoroughly fooled.

Great comment. One of the churches I wrote about above held a Bach recital, but insisted on proof of "vaccination" in order to attend. Sin of commission.

As to sins of omission, only once in the last 20 years have I heard my pastor speak out against abortion. And that was only a month before he was leaving on new assignment.

Expand full comment

Our pastors speak out on abortion and we participate in prayer walks to abortion clinics. We also support foster and adoptive parents. I can only assume they consider the vaccine issue to be too political. Not to mention, one of them who was jabbed (not all were) just returned to half-days at work, after being out for a month. He had bronchitis, pneumonia and covid (!) but he probably thinks it would have been so much worse had he not had the miraculous vaccine!

Most of the churches have been positively supine, do not really differentiate between good and evil, and by sins of omission are an ally of Satan. Man cannot live without truth (and justice). And in my experience church pastors do not uphold truth and/or Christian Biblical morality by application to the culture. Nope! Instead it is all this Woke virtue signaling excrement.

(By the way, a really up beat C & C today!)

Fear is a powerful tool. It is my belief that if you have true faith in Jesus Christ you surrender your fear to Him and move one. Let Him deal with it and you will be under His protection. Can’t get any better than that.

Expand full comment

Yes!! I decided very early on, when I was somewhat fearful, that I had no control over whether or not I got covid. God is sovereign and it was up to Him whether or not I had covid. I DID, however, have control over whether or not I got jabbed and the longer I waited and studied, the more certain I was that I would not be. Getting the jabs is simply Russian Roulette, with no benefit. I trust God, but after all this, I trust very few humans and certainly not our government or healthcare system.

I think the globalists and money have infiltrated many churches. Ours was overtaken a few years ago. They accused pastor of a sexual harassment that occurred in 1981. Lol. He put his hand on her thigh and hugged her a bit longer than she thought he should. He was ousted. They then removed almost every single leader around him. The entire team was different in 6 months. New pastor came in, covid hit, church closed, then they had BLM parade in lot, opened church but mandated masks, we started hearing DEI stuff, worship team didn't have one white person on it any longer, not one!, then video on asian hate. We left!

Expand full comment

Wow! Praise God my church is not like that! Very doctrinally sound, just quiet on this one issue. We had online services for a little while, then had services outside for awhile. Then, for those who were paranoid and unable to come maskless, we had a mask-only service for them. We have three services each week. I think we handled the closing situation fairly well, as in the beginning, we didn't understand what was going on. Even the good doctors and scientists who are helping were, in some cases, fooled in the beginning and got jabbed. Dr. Robert Malone was injured by the jab.

Expand full comment

How about Naomi Wolf's, The Bodies of Others? I found it at my local library and it was so much better than I expected that I may order my own copy. I order many of the books written by the heroic doctors and scientists in order to support them, since most of them have lost so much by taking a stand.

Dr. Peter McCullough's book, The Courage to Face Covid19, is a very good, easy to read book which I have been lending to others. I intend to try to get one of our Bible class teachers to read it. After learning about a young mother's devastating vaccine injury, he asked his class to pray and assured them that such injuries are rare.

Regarding the Metaxas book, this is my favorite quote. "They are in their churches singing more and more loudly to drown out the cries of those in the boxcars heading to their gruesome deaths. Sing with us, they say, and don't worry about all of those other issues out there. They don't concern us. Our job is to focus on God, and to pretend that we can do so without fighting for those He loves, whose lives and futures are being destroyed." Can't say it any better than that.

When in August 2021 I, with tears, emailed our senior pastor to explain our family’s experience with the pandemic, how like many we were initially afraid but then soon learned why we didn’t need to be (but D, ivy, lower mortality than we had been told, etc, etc) and how the church’s reinstated mask mandate (we want to love our neighbors and reduce burden on hospitals and honor the government) was preventing our joining in person church (we don’t wear masks), and also explained that masks and mandates were akin to the yellow star, quoting Vera Sharav,... how EXCITED our young son had been to get to go back to church after a year at home - even gathered his own offering that he had been holding onto for months - yet now, after just one Sunday back in person, we were facing TV church again.... when would it ever end?...... nothing. Not.one.thing.

The likeminded elder whom I had included on the email, just to be sure that the email was received and that the pastor knew it was being seen by not just him, replied saying that yes, it’s complicated and he would be happy to discuss nuances further. I think he was just being polite re the pastor... as I know he and his family disagreed emphatically with the masks. Anyway, I replied that the time for nuance was over.

But, never heard a single thing from the pastor. On our year-end giving statement letter, he scrawled how “sad” he was that he never replied, and he wanted to follow up that week. But again, never heard a whisper.

That church simultaneously was going increasingly woke, and we are no longer there. We appreciated certain aspects of the liturgy, and those we miss immensely. But not enough to sell short our souls.

Your story is repeated all over America, the insufficiency of fallen Western Christianity and its less than fallen churches. We too church On Line because there is nothing worthwhile locally. We are, unfortunately, too old now to take on forming up a truly theologically correct church with visible moral agency. Time has caught up with us as to diminishing health. But indeed, it is nice to know that this is a concern and that many young people with energy are picking up the baton. God cannot be defeated as long as people thirst for truth.

We have been thankful to have discovered a different nearby church that is very strongly biblical and conservative in its teaching. The sermons are rich feasts every week. The middle and high school youth group pastor discusses worldviews and current moral issues w the kids. The elementary kids are being taught from THE BIBLE itself rather than watching movies and “finding Jesus” in the movies. While there is a place for that, how about we first teach our kids the actual Bible?

We have been blessed.

It’s bittersweet because we truly experienced value in the interactive liturgy, the back and forth congregational prayers and readings, and the music was rich with meaning in the words. We miss all of that in the new place.

You seemed to have found as good as (mostly) can be had today. It's impressive to hear about a church which discusses world views, and applies Biblical Law and the teachings say of Proverbs to everyday life in the world. God Bless!

That column was forwarded to me also and that was when I signed up for C & C! One of the best things I have done. I have recommended it to many others. Marxianity by Brannon Howse would be a good read for readers to understand that taking over the churches was part of the communist plan. My mother-in-law's Methodist church just left the denomination and has now become a Bible Church. It is in a small rural community.

Large local, more conservative church here broke off off the overarching Methodost church, same reason. It was a big deal, lots of "church litigation," but they did, and the big church will feel the huge loss of local assets.

Jeff, I fully support your idea of running for DA in Florida. You are right with your comment, and the proof is in the pudding. Actions speak louder than words. We need people like you who will back up what you are saying in public office in Florida. You could show those cowards how its done and start the movement into the right direction.

When I read this excellent bit of writing it was the first time I’d ever heard of Jeff Childers, a few months before I discovered Coffee & Covid. I was blown away by the truth and wisdom contained in it! I shared it as far and wide as I could. It’s still the best thing I’ve read since this craziness entered our world. God bless you Jeff! God is using you in a mighty way.

This was the post that brought me to C & C. I am so grateful.

I am delighted to say that my church has been fantastic throughout. Never once was there a sign on the door requesting masks. The vast majority of the members never chose to wear them, either. For a month or two in the spring of 2020, our church did limit maximum attendance in accordance with local mandates, but they rescinded those limitations by June and have sworn to never be fooled into doing that again.

My pastor led a Bible study on "Lessons from 2020" in which he emphasized the rights of the conscience. I know that he wrote a mask exemption letter for one child's parents to take to the local school district. He did NOT join the local churches when they collaborated on a woke statement after George Floyd's death.

What's ironic is that one of our elders works at Zoetis, which is the animal vaccine division that Pfizer spun off just a few years ago. He told everybody at church that masks were worthless. Everyone in his family, including his aged mother, is completely unvaccinated.

I encourage all of you who are alienated from your church to keep looking until you find one that aligns with truth. They are out there.

Hi Jeff, I’d love to read this but for some reason it will not open. Do you know the date or can I have the title so I can find it directly in your stack?

I myself was so disappointed in many churches during the scamdemic. Most of them bowed to the incredible hysteria by closing down and then by punishing those of us who were not vaccinated. As a Christian, I was appalled! In our previous church, we were denied the Eucharist because we were not wearing masks. My husband and I left the church for good. Many churches had signs that said, "you don't love your neighbor if you don't get vaccinated." Where was the faith over fear that Christians are supposed to adhere to?? Gone, out the window! So sad!

right? Why were churches closed during one of their flocks greatest times of need? There were a few brave ones out there John MacArthur, Jack Hibbs (CA Churches no less) and they have GROWN exponentially....but it did reveal something...a friend said....."well, now we're gonna find out who's faking it".

Would Jesus get the Jab? The Romans say all must submit to the new mystery medicine, and take shots every 3 months just like cattle.

It's crazy how many houses of God go along with this.

Not only that, the churches failed to condemn the scapegoating and widespread discrimination against the unvaxxed. They still haven’t spoken up as far as I know. Even after the fact would count for something morally. But no.

Expand full comment

YES!

This! The scapegoating of anybody who questioned the benefits, or who simply didn’t want to be part of a freakin EXPERIMENT! Totally gaslit those who raised questions about the use of unborn babies’ bodies in the research or testing.

Where WAS the mercy and grace for those who disagreed? Instead, we were told that WE were breaking up unity.

This month, my devotional has had several passages dealing with not being fixated on the way others see us. Of course I initially mainly thought about the personal aspects of this exhortation. However, I had the lightbulb moment recently, that this is exactly what all of these churches and many churchgoers have been doing with regard to BLM, Covid, etc. They care more about how the world views them than how the Lord views them. It’s a different kind of legalism in a way.

Expand full comment

Exactly. And care more about this than Scripture! Although it is unstated, it is more the selling of the soul to gain the world. But as we see in recent time, there is no safety or prosperity save what comes with obedience to and an unwavering insistence upon God. Harsh times tend to bring things into sharp focus.

Same here.

Methodists are going through many changes. I no longer consider myself a United Methodist. It took a year for the pastor to call me to find out why I was not there after being closed a year , opening with masks required. Then 2 months later masks again. I quit then. A year ago. Now a phone call? Before I left we had exhortations to get the jab. Nothing much we used to do has returned--including younger families snd children. I am praying for a new congregation.

Agree with Janet. Similar situation for me, except I didn’t even get a phone call. Blessings to everyone!

Get out and start trying new churches! Read their beliefs and mission statements on their websites before you go; you can avoid wasting time with false churches. Only those that preach God’s Word in it’s entirety and that the only way to be right with God is through faith in what His son and our Savior Jesus Christ did on the cross, are worth looking into. I’m the End Times the many false churches will be revealed and the true churches that adhere to God’s Word will remain, although they will endure persecution.

I’d like to. I’m very rural tiny town and driving an hour or so will not work but I may look into house churches. Try some church online worship first. I attended a fundamentalist Bible church for 25 years deep into prophecy and the Bible. That’s how I then connected this Covid to the end days and Satans plan. So I’m grateful for that discernment. That church split into many pieces And basically disappeared. I know the good ones are out there but the mainline ones are all I have within reasonable distance. Someone recommended Lutheran Missouri synod. We have one in town but it closed up as well during the plague. Masked—the whole thing. I live in a blue state. God will lead me. 🙏🏻 I’m not so angry about this. God bless.

I pray that God will lead you to a great church. We attend a conservative Presbyterian church with solid Biblical teaching but I also listen to Second Baptist Houston every Sunday at 9:30am before we go to our church. The pastor, Ed Young is amazing! He’s 85 years old, sharp as could be and speaks boldly about woke-ism and the church! His sermons are amazing. I also like to listen to John MacArthur (Grace Community in Sun Valley, CA.) and Pastor Jack Hibbs (Calvary Chapel in Chino Hills, CA). So many opportunities on the internet! God bless you!
