I don’t like controversy, actually, I doubt there are many who really likes controversy. However, I am curious by nature and wanted to understand how the games could still take place, given the health concerns. How could this be justified, when going to a live church to worship and fellowship in love, a much smaller event, has been severely restricted or prohibited.

The Vaccination Status Of The Athletes

To travel internationally, supposedly one has to be fully vaccinated. Yet, the IOC did not mandate that all athletes must be fully vaccinated. Curious to say the least. The USA mandated that all their athletes should be fully vaccinated. Here comes my curiosity once again. What percentage of the athletes performing in the 2022 Winter Olympics are unvaccinated?  Even more curiosity: “What percentage of those unvaccinated will become positive before the end of the Olympics?”

Is Coronavirus More Deadly Than The Flu?

There is no denying that being infected with coronavirus virus can be life-threatening and it has caused many deaths. The questions that remain I think for many are, “Who is at increased risk?”, or rather, “Am I at increased risk?” “Is coronavirus more deadly than a severe case of influenza? The interesting thing is the seasonal flu has been responsible for many deaths; however, since coronavirus came on the scene, the seasonal flu has disappeared. Even more interesting, coronavirus was responsible for benign flu-like symptoms in the past. So why is coronavirus now so deadly? And is it really so deadly or has the data been manipulated?

Just A Physician Trying To Understand

This should be an article about the Olympic Games; yet, it has morphed into an article about the conflicting mandates surrounding coronavirus. How the rules seem to change depending on what agendas are being pushed. I personally know people who have been infected with coronavirus, not once but twice and survived. Not only survived but did nothing extraordinary to get over their viral infection, except bed rest, fluids, Vitamin D3, Zinc, ginger and some other homeopathic stuff. I also know people who had serious cases of infection requiring hospitalization. However, I go back to the flu. What are we missing that is not being honestly discussed?

Who Can Enjoy The Olympics Under These Conditions?

When what you have believed in for your entire life has been shown to be a lie, where do you turn for understanding? How do you find comfort in a world that seems to have lost any semblance of respect and care for its citizens? Who do you trust in a world of conflicting data that does not align with proven scientific truths? These are some of the questions that I have, and I can only imagine there are many more questions out there. I am asking for us as humans, as caregivers to put the c.a.r.e. back into healthcare. I am pleading for love to be the force that empowers us to do the right thing.
