The Unvaccinated: An Inconvenient Control Group in a Sinister Social Experiment

Back when the experts didn’t know if the new vaccines would even be “effective at preventing symptomatic COVID-19 infections,” the government, media, corporations, and public health intelligentsia still relentlessly pushed the stuff on Americans while proclaiming that they were 90-percent effective, and Dr. Anthony Fauci openly presumed that we’d “really need for 75-to-85-percent of the population to get vaccinated to achieve herd immunity.” 

All of that information can be found in a single article from December of 2020.  Today, we’ve hit Dr. Fauci’s once-supposed sweet spot for vaccination rates (among adults, at least), thanks to a propaganda campaign that neglected to publicize any potential risks while promoting benefits that have proven to be impossible to attain. 

There was never any proven evidence that the vaccines were effective in staving off COVID infections.  Yet we now know what was unknown then, even as they pushed for four-in-five Americans to become vaccinated, and that is that the vaccines are not at all effective at preventing symptomatic COVID-19 infections. 

That’s right.  Get the vaccine, or don’t get the vaccine, and you can still get symptomatic infections while presenting the risk of infection to others. 

How likely you are to go to the hospital and/or die from infection is still greatly dependent upon your age and health preconditions.  If you’re older or happen to be unhealthy, you’re more likely to die from COVID infection, even if vaccinated.  If you’re younger and healthy, you are extremely unlikely to experience hospitalization or death, vaccinated or not.

These are all undeniable facts.  And so, just like that, we’ve come full-circle to where we began, when Dr. David Katz told us all in the New York Times on March 20, 2020 (before it had become clear that the media was conspiring to hide any opinions or evidence contrary to public health status quo), that the very best we could do is to protect the elderly and those predisposed to harm from infection while the rest of us went about our lives by gaining herd immunity in a natural way — i.e., letting young and healthy people, who are not harmed by COVID infection nearly to the same extent as the at-risk demographics, live their lives and acquire immunity.

It worked for Sweden.  Current observations suggest that it’s worked for Florida.  Nonetheless, the government, media, corporations, and public health officials aren’t interesting in honestly informing the public of risks and benefits, or letting individuals make informed decisions.  No, they’re interested in promoting the cudgel of federal government power to demand that the one-in-five who’ve yet to get the vaccine become vaccinated in order to end the pandemic.

Let’s take a moment to appraise two very simple facts. 

First, the vast majority of those who are yet to be vaccinated are young and healthy people, and who very often would have been at little risk of harm from COVID in the first place.

Second, since four-in-five American adults are “fully-vaccinated,” the believability of the story about outbreaks of COVID stemming only from the one-in-five who are unvaccinated is waning fast, even among the most gullible of Fauci’s flock.

There is a distinct danger in the government’s allowing the continued existence of that disobedient one-in-five who’ve bucked the state-approved guidance.  They stand as evidence, you see, of the government health intelligentsia’s fallibility. 

Imagine, if you will, a hypothetical scenario in the not-so-distant future.  It’s January 2022.  Hospitals are overwhelmed, despite substantial adult rates of vaccination of 80-percent or so.  But strangely, hospitalizations are notably among the vaccinated, not the young and healthy unvaccinated who chose, based upon their logical appraisal of personal risk, to not get a new vaccine which was rushed to market and which the government seemed all-too-eager to force into their bodies. 

In fact, imagine that we could easily determine that a large number of the unvaccinated are not hospitalized at all and that most of the hospitalized are, in fact, older and unhealthier vaccinated people who were more predisposed to harm from COVID anyway.

What would that mean?  Would it mean that vaccination didn’t make people as safe as they were promised by the government, the media, corporations, or the public health intelligentsia?

At the very least, it would mean that.  And right now, we should not be stupid enough to imagine that what is taking place is anything less than damage control by our political tormentors who are desperate to hide the evidence of their lies to the American people.  If the Biden administration can get nearer to 95-percent of Americans to be vaccinated at any cost, even at the cost of an executive edict that contradicts every foundational principle that the Constitution exists to protect, it is worth it for them. 

The “unvaccinated” are now the target of the government because they represent an uncontrolled minority that can be blamed for the ills of society, sure.  But most importantly, there is now a desperate push to vaccinate this last one-fifth of American adults.  The unvaccinated are an inconvenient control group to set against the variable of the vaccinated population — especially since any honest appraisal of this social experiment we’ve undertaken this past year would clearly undermine the government’s hypothesis that was once presented about the vaccines’ efficacy.


HD Editor’s Note: Why Is This News Biblically Relevant?

Very few would have the audacity to deny that the coronavirus restrictions have been placed above the importance of personal liberty.

Media, political, and other voices are only getting louder, demanding that the unvaccinated be denied fundamental freedoms such as shopping at businesses, eating in restaurants, and traveling. Many employers have also jumped on the bandwagon, demanding all employees be vaccinated or face losing their livelihood.

Though governments are increasingly seeing more push back from citizens, who would have thought through COVID-19 that the vast majority of the world population would be so willing to give up their freedoms and that it would happen so rapidly? People are becoming used to a lack of freedom.

What was an unprecedented loss of freedom in western society, now has precedent in the future… that precedent may very well be exploited by the approaching antichrist system spoken of in the Bible (Revelation 13).

Those who follow Bible Prophecy understand that a time will come where a world leader, the “antichrist,” will set up a global system where participation and compliance are mandatory.

It was more extraordinary back in December 2019 to think that the antichrist during the Tribulation could cause the vast percentage of the population to agree to receive the “mark of the beast” (spoken of in Revelation 13:16-18). But now… it no longer appears so strange that people could be so easily persuaded… especially when their basic freedom to buy and sell hangs in the balance.

The COVID crisis has been jaw-droppingly exploited by globalists worldwide in a manner that is too reminiscent of Revelation 13 to simply ignore. What we are witnessing today is an astonishing and clear Harbinger of events to come!

Imminent: The Timing Of The Rapture May Be Unknowable, But Where It Sits On The Prophetic Timeline Is Not

What about the timing of the rapture? That’s another hotly debated subject in the church. While most acknowledge the day and hour is unknowable, is that day and hour before the tribulation, during the tribulation, or at the end of the tribulation? (These are the pre-, mid-, and post-tribulation rapture views). Does not knowing the day or hour mean we can’t know anything about the timing of the rapture in relation to the tribulation? That depends on which timing view you hold to. If you believe in a pre-tribulation rapture, then seeing things develop that will be fulfilled during the tribulation should stir up a sense of expectation and excitement because it could happen at any time. But if you are mid- or post-trib, then you know that because the tribulation has not yet begun, there is no expectation that the rapture could occur within the next three-and-a-half or seven years.

Literal, Eternal, And Unconditional: Bible Prophecy Begins And Ends With Israel

Imagine you open to the middle of a book. Immediately, you face unfamiliar names and locations. To make sense of the story, you flip to the end. But the ending seems more confusing than the middle. You slam the book shut in disgust. This analogy is about as subtle as a sledgehammer. But it illustrates why so many people have trouble with Bible prophecy. To understand prophecy, we should not start in the middle of the Book or at the end. No, we should begin at the beginning. It’s there, in Genesis 12:1-3, that God makes a startling promise to a man named Abraham. All prophecy hangs on this promise, or “covenant.”

The Slippery Slope Of Australia’s Spirituality: A Deliberate Campaign Of Atheism

On 29 July 2026, the church that I pastor played host for the Brisbane leg of a tour of Australia by Amir Tsarfati and Pastor Barry Stagner. On that blessed evening, over 1,000 people gathered together for praise, powerful preaching, prayer, and of course, photos with these two beloved servants of God. Even though we hired a large venue for the evening, seating was limited. This meant that, sadly, many missed out on being able to attend. One such person who was not able to secure tickets remarked that it would be wonderful if this was the dilemma faced by every Bible-believing church in Australia on a Sunday morning. Yet Australia's overall spiritual landscape suggest a disturbing deterioration away from Biblical belief.
