Our regulatory, corporate, political, and medical establishments are thoroughly and totally corrupt.

We can start our examination of this fact with the FDA. The FDA is essentially funded by the companies it is supposed to regulate and is run for their benefit, not the public’s. https://orthodoxreflections.com/pfizer-vaccine-approval-is-a-symptom-of-a-corrupt-system/

Archbishop Sotirios in Canada continues to cause problems for the Greek Orthodox Faithful. The latest was denying communion to all the laity present to punish nuns for resisting multiple spoons.

Orthodox Church history teaches us that when the Church falls into conflict with itself, there is only one issue. No matter whether it’s Iconoclasm or Vaccine mandates, the question always is—what is the True Orthodox Faith of the Church?

The goal here is to explain how such an obviously wrong narrative can persist because it is useful to so many different groups for different reasons. There is some overlapping membership between the groups covered below, and some do cooperate actively. But many are quite distinct from each other. There is no villainous “Bond” organization behind all this. If there were, it would be easier to beat. Instead we are up against a massive coalition of “Baptists and bootleggers” all pursuing a common policy – keeping the “pandemic” going as long as possible while radically changing society to suit their own goals.

Reproductive effects in female tissue do not always manifest themselves in the first generation. We simply don’t have the data to know if this is safe. We need transparency and to trust adults to make their own decisions. Children cannot provide informed consent. We need to err on the side of caution.

From heroes in scrubs to villains personally demonized by the president. Unvaccinated nurses are at risk, even in Florida. This personal story from a Florida RN should concern everyone - freedom and the stability of our health care system are at stake.

There IS in fact a religious and Patristic angle here, in contrast to Archbishop Elpidophoros’ position. If we don’t defend our God-given αυτεξουσιον (free will), then are we aligned with our Patristic Tradition?

No person should be deprived of their ability, in good conscience and freewill, to question and refuse a proposed medical treatment. Neither the efficacy nor the safety of the available injections has been sufficiently determined. Normal safety studies have not been done. The long-term effects on people both physically and spiritually are unknown. Many people for good reasons still have very substantial ethical, moral, and spiritual concerns about the development, ingredients, and effects of the proffered injection. But some in the Church are all to willing to trample upon the conscience of their brothers and sisters in Christ, whether out of fear or out of unquestioning faith in the honesty of government, its chosen experts, and the mainstream media. The concerns of many Christians are not due to politics or ignorance but are based firmly upon their deep faith and belief in Christ and their love for truth. A troubling new ideology is developing in which even Christians are willing to advocate the “necessity” for the “greater good” of forcing vaccination – injections – against the will and conscience of another believer, in the name of “love.” Such attempts at compulsion through manipulating and distorting the meaning of “love” are abhorrent to the Christian and a distortion of true love found within the phronema of the Church. https://orthodoxreflections.com/orthodox-resistance-to-vaccine-mandates-men-have-become-wolves-to-men/

The vaccine mandates around the world are causing harm to untold millions. New resources page is dedicated to essential resources for:

Speaking from experience, prior to working in pharmaceuticals, my colleagues (nurses and physicians) and I were not taught to report adverse events related to vaccines via the FDA’s VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System). The only people I spoke with who were aware of VAERS, previous to COVID-19, were pharmacists. Although “healthcare providers are required by law to report to VAERS,” (VAERS, n.d.) an alarmingly small percentage of health care providers are aware of the system. Of those that are, few take the time to report adverse events related to vaccines via VAERS (McNeil et al., 2013). Even during COVID-19, I have colleagues, who are physicians, who say they are the only ones in their practice reporting events via VAERS because the rest of their colleagues: are not aware of how to report, ridicule them for being “anti-vaxx” if they report, or find the VAERS reporting system too complicated. Another disturbing mentality related to me by my colleagues is how patients suffering possible adverse events related to the vaccines (including cardiac events) would ask their physicians to report the event, but the physicians would refuse and reassure them that the events are not related. However, per the EUA’s of COVID-19 vaccines, “irrespective of attribution to vaccination,” it is illegal for these healthcare providers not to report events, especially serious adverse events resulting in death, hospitalization, etc.

My colleagues (physicians and professors at teaching institutions, including cardiologists and oncologists) have witnessed a large number of serious and even deadly cardiovascular related events. Some of them have even estimated a five-fold increase of myocarditis cases this year. Ironically, all of the physicians (including cardiologists) I spoke with strongly recommend against the Moderna vaccine, but have admitted also seeing thrombotic and other cardiovascular cases with patients receiving some of the other COVID-19 vaccines. https://orthodoxreflections.com/answering-afr-on-covid-and-the-vaccines-with-fr-john-parker-and-dr-ryan-sampson-nash/

Elpidophoros did not incense the average person of Greek descent enough until his recent behaviour at the inauguration of the Turkish House in NYC. Only about 15% of Greeks belong to the Church. But ALL Greeks support their ancestral homeland.

While we cannot say for certain that “THE” Anti-Christ is here, we can safely say all the elements are here to facilitate his rise. Big Tech, Big Pharma, and our own government combine to make total control of our lives a real possibility for the first time in history. If you deny this, you are living in an alternate reality.

The question is not whether these forces are trying to control us, but rather will we let them they actually pull it off? https://orthodoxreflections.com/eve-of-destruction-preserving-the-orthodox-christian-faith/

Firstly we must speak the truth: this is a two-tiered society. This is medical apartheid. This is not a matter of being cooperative over a health concern.

Secondly, those who are vaccinated must refuse the privileges, stand with their brothers and sisters in Christ. Don’t go to the wedding reception where they are going to separate the vaccinated and unvaccinated, like putting the black folk at the back of the bus in Selma, Alabama. Be brave. Try not to patronize their restaurants as long as only the elect are allowed to be seated.

Do your best – I know this is difficult!

In Russia, when they tried to introduce these passports, everyone stopped shopping, and it all screeched to a halt in a few days!

We must decide whom we serve – God or Mammon – God or our desire to shop, and to eat, and to have fun. This is our test, our fast, our asceticism.

Finally, brethren, if a church practices medical apartheid – the separation of the so-called vaccinated and unvaccinated, stay out of that church.

We read in the Gospel, the Lord planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, built a tower in it, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country, until the season came to collect the fruits from it. But those who had been left to care for that land beat the Lord’s servants, and killed some, and stoned some others.

Then last of all He sent unto them his Son, saying, They will reverence my Son. But when those husbandmen saw that Son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. (Matthew 21:33-38)

Time and time again, this is what we have seen in the fallen world. Time and time again, evil men have seized on the land the Lord has entrusted to their care. Time and time again, evil men have created two classes of men:

The blacks and the whites.

The Jews and the Gentiles.

The vaxxed and the unvaxxed.

Saint John Chrysostom tells us that the intention of such men – such rulers – is evil from the beginning. https://orthodoxreflections.com/a-return-of-evil-signs/

We updated our health impacts article to replace a banned YouTube video on vaccine impacts on fertility with a nurse whistleblower. COVID patients are being treated with Remdesivir and stuck on ventilators, and it’s killing them.
