My friends, as we all know, right now there is a lot of chatter — including a lot of different conspiracy theories — on the social networks regarding COVID-19 and the vaccines. I myself have written a considerable amount of COVID-19 related material over the past seventeen months.
But if we are honest with ourselves, we will recognize that a lot of it comes from people just like you and me. That is, from people who, honestly speaking, are the least qualified to be making any kind of official statements.
Yes, we watch a lot of YouTube videos, visit Wikipedia, read a lot of newspaper articles, do research on a lot of medical and scientific websites, etc., and then we form our personal opinions, based on what we have watched and read.
But you know what? That still doesn’t mean that we are right, that we fully understand things, or that we even really know the truth, because there is a lot of intentional deception out there, and a lot of personal agendas, all of which is seeking to influence our minds, shape our world view, and control our very actions.
One popular Internet rumor at the moment is that the COVID-19 vaccines contain metallic/ magnetic nanoparticles which are causing regular magnets — such as refrigerator magnets — to stick to a vaccine recipient’s skin at the injection site.
As if that is not enough, some people even go so far as to claim that the vaccines contain a minute microchip, which is resulting in the alleged reaction with the magnet.
Let me quickly address that last topic first. My friends, in a word, I find the possibility of a microchip — or even nanobots — so minute that it/they can even flow in our bloodstream — or through serum in a syringe — quite ludicrous.
In my view, such thinking currently belongs in the realm of science fiction movies. I am relatively certain that such technology simply does NOT exist at the moment. We have not yet advanced that far with our technology, no matter what anyone tries to tell you.
Perhaps in a few more decades we will reach the point where we have microchips that small, and nanobots which can flow in our bloodstreams, delivering medications, and making repairs to our bodies.
However, for now, as far as I know, scientists have only been able to create very simple spring-like mechanisms using carbon nanotubes and such. There are currently no mechanical nanobots flowing in anyone’s bloodstream, and there is no microchip small enough to pass through a syringe. Period.
Now, regarding the magnets and metallic particles rumor, my friends, based on two of my previous Bill’s Bible Basics Blog posts, which you will find here . . .
. . . I can only conclude that if magnets are really sticking to people’s skin at vaccine injection sites — which I still seriously doubt — then it must be for some other possibly medical reason. Either that, or they are simply well-crafted hoaxes.
And before you even ask, I am sorry, but watching a YouTube video won’t convince me otherwise, because videos can easily hide things, and can be easily manipulated as well, to make you see things that are really not there, or which are really not happening.
Now, having stated all of the above, I have read information regarding a compound called graphene oxide which is currently being studied as a possible delivery system for medications — such as vaccines — in the future. Currently, graphene oxide has a number of industrial uses. You can learn more about it by reading articles such as this one:
However, as that, and many other articles state, and as the vaccine manufacturers likewise insist, there is currently no graphene oxide in any of the COVID-19 vaccines.
Now, whether or not we should believe what they are saying is a good question. I can’t answer that for you. In fact, I can’t even answer it for myself, because I don’t have that kind of education, background or experience.
Let me also mention that graphene oxide in itself is NOT metallic, and thus not magnetic. It is actually carbon based, just like carbon nanotubes, if you know anything about current developments in nanotechnology.
However, while graphene oxide can be bound to magnetic nanoparticles for a variety of applications, as I said, the vaccine manufacturers — and other sources — claim that the COVID-19 vaccines do NOT currently contain graphene oxide.
To reiterate one of the points I made in my two previous BBB Blog posts, while I am not a scientist or a medical professional, simple logic tells me that even if the vaccines did contain metallic/magnetic nanoparticles, it would not be of a sufficient amount to cause a magnet to react in the manner in which some people are describing. After all, you can only fit so much serum in a syringe, and most of it is liquid, and not solid particles.
Can I conclusively prove this point? Definitely not. So, it is really up to you to decide what you want to believe.
My friends, several days ago I made a post which included statistics from the VAERS — Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System — on the U.S. government’s Health and Human Services website. You can find my previous post here:
The aforementioned statistics reveal that as of July 30, 2021, more than 12,300 American citizens have died after taking one of the three FDA emergency-approved COVID-19 vaccines.
Note: Please read the VAERS site’s disclaimer to understand their interpretation regarding how statistics should be understood. You may or may not agree with them.
Please note that originally, after conducting a VAERS search of my own, I personally came up with a figure of almost 7,000 deaths. However, apparently, I was conducting the search incorrectly. As such, my total for the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was about 5,000 lower than it should have been. Setting the search criteria is a bit complicated, after all.
By the way, if you wish to conduct your own search, you can do so using the VAERS “WONDER” tool at the following URL:
Furthermore, as of that same date — July 30, 2021 — over 545,000 adverse events had been recorded in the VAERS system, after taking vaccines. Stated another way, we are talking about more than 545,000 NEGATIVE REACTIONS occurring after taking vaccines — some more serious than others — and that includes only the ones which have actually been reported to VAERS. Some people strongly suspect that the numbers are probably a lot higher than that.
But, my friends, think about that figure — 12,300+ deaths. That figure is more than four times the number of people who died as a direct result of the horrific events which occurred on September 11, 2001.
So why isn’t the U.S. government constantly throwing the 12,300+ figure in our faces? I will tell you why. Because unlike the almost 3,000 people who died during 9/11, the 12,300+ figure has no positive political capital.
In other words, that almost 3,000 total deaths figure from 9/11 gave the government power to psychologically manipulate the American public, so that they would not only support the so-called “war against terrorism” for two decades, but the 9/11 death toll also convinced American citizens to “temporarily” surrender some of their personal freedoms via the “Patriot Act”.
But that is not all. The 9/11 death toll was also used to convince many Americans to support the ill-conceived and illegal invasion of, and war in, Iraq, which was primarily based on the WMD lie. I discuss this topic at length in some of my articles on the Bill’s Bible Basics website at:
Lastly, it is in large part because of the 9/11 death toll figure constantly being thrown in our faces — what do you think the “Remember 9/11” mantra is all about? — that America has engaged in the obviously unwinnable and futile war in Afghanistan for so many years, as recent news reports regarding Taliban military victories have clearly revealed. The Russians learned their lesson. What about us?
In contrast to the 9/11 death toll figure, the VAERS vaccine death toll figure — even though it is at least four times greater — doesn’t give the government power to manipulate people in the direction that it wants to take them. That is, to convince everyone to get the vaccine.
Quite to the contrary, that 12,300+ figure is NEGATIVE political capital, because it clearly shouts out FAILURE and DANGER. It is an alarm call to people to BEWARE, because something is not right, and that something is in fact seriously WRONG!
Thus, the government, and some of its agencies, and certain medical and pharmaceutical entities try to minimize the figure, to de-emphasize its importance, and to play it down. You certainly don’t see the liberal mainstream media screaming headlines regarding 12,300+ people dying after taking the COVID-19 vaccines, do you? That says a lot!
It is as if to say that the almost 3,000 people who died during 9/11 was a big deal — and they certainly ran with it as far and as long as they possibly could — while these 12,300+ people who have died after taking one of the COVID-19 vaccines, and the hundreds of thousands more who have suffered other non-lethal negative effects from the vaccines, are not as important!
Think about that, my friends. And remember. Even as I type out this commentary, those figures continue to climb by the day, as the COVID-19 vaccines continue to negatively affect more and more people.
Yes, according to the American government and its medical/health agencies, many millions of American citizens are being spared from the worst effects of COVID-19 — including from death — due to taking one of the vaccines.
However, that does NOT mean that we should simply ignore, play down, or hide the fact that for many people, taking the vaccine may be just as risky as actually getting COVID-19, because either way, they could possibly end up DEAD, or at least just as sick as if they actually had COVID-19!
In fact, if the stories are true, I have read accounts in recent days where it has been said that some people are actually getting COVID-19 as a direct result of getting one of the vaccines!
Folks, we already know — because even the U.S. government has confirmed it — that the current vaccines do NOT prevent a person from getting COVID-19. Neither to they prevent a vaccinated person from passing COVID-19 on to someone else.
So, if these vaccines are actually giving some people COVID-19 as certain accounts state, then that is just the icing on the cake, and it further highlights the inefficacy, and the danger, of these vaccines. Are these vaccines possibly doing more harm than good despite government claims?
Returning to my previous point, my friends, for some people, it may be a light thing to say “Well, what is 13,000 people lost compared to millions of people who are saved from COVID-19’s death grip due to the vaccines?”
Yes, that may be easy to say for some people. But what if those 13,000 deaths included members of your own family? Would you still feel the same way? I bet you wouldn’t. Tell me something. What if 13,000 people suddenly died in your town or city after taking one of the vaccines? Would you still just sit quietly by?
As I have stated in previous posts, in the end, it is YOUR body. As such, in my view, it is also YOUR right, and ONLY your right, to decide whether or not you wish to take the vaccine. Don’t you agree?
In quite an opposite manner, isn’t this the very same argument that is made by pro-abortionists? So why shouldn’t it apply to the COVID-19 vaccine situation as well?
In effect then, isn’t the government and their supporters practicing a double standard when they say that women have the right to choose whether or not to get an abortion, while they deny us the right to accept or reject having a questionable vaccine injected into our bodies? At the very least, it is hypocritical.
Given the known serious risks which have now been clearly associated with these vaccines — as even the government’s VAERS website clearly reveals — my personal position is that neither the U.S. government, nor any other entity — federal, state or local — has the legal right to force anyone through mandates to take any of the available COVID-19 vaccines. After all, to do so is to knowingly be condemning certain individuals to death, no matter how small the number.
My friends, we are people, and NOT guinea pigs. Yet, whether you realize it or not, that is exactly what we become when we accept vaccines which have not been adequately tested over the long term, or fully approved yet. We BECOME the experiment!
In fact, even when the vaccines are approved by the FDA, given the FDA’s record and known internal corruption and bias, I STILL won’t trust the vaccines!
As for me personally, as I have mentioned before, due to my own health situation — among which is the fact that I take a daily dose of an anticoagulant (blood thinner) to prevent the re-occurrence of DVT or Deep Vein Thrombosis, which is blood clots in my legs, and the re-occurrence of Acute Bilateral Pulmonary Emboli, which is blood clots in all nodes of my lungs — I will continue to resist getting the vaccine.
On a side note, it may interest some of you to know that while I am currently in my late 60s, due to my personal philosophy and beliefs regarding my body and medications, I have not had a single vaccine since I was a kid in elementary school, when my parents last had jurisdiction over my body for such things. No, I do not get an annual flu shot or anything else for that matter.
Concerning my own health issues, as the VAERS website reveals, on some occasions, the vaccines do result in different types of thrombosis occurring. No matter how small, the risk IS there. Does it make any sense then that I should take a daily dose of an anticoagulant to prevent thrombosis from occurring, only to then turn around and take a vaccine which could quite possibly result in thrombosis? To do so, in my view, would be pure madness.
Even though I am considered high risk for getting COVID-19, I have thus far endured 17 months of this pandemic without incident, and without a vaccine. As such, I will continue to trust God for my health and safety.
Furthermore, as much as I dislike wearing a hot, restrictive face mask, out of respect for others, and because masks are still mandated here — indoors and outdoors — when I am out and about, I will continue to wear a face mask, and social distance as well. However, I will NOT be vaccinated!
In conclusion, we each have our personal reasons regarding why we don’t wish to take the COVID-19 vaccines. Your reasons may be different from mine, but that is not what matters here. What does matter, is that we are NOT denied the ability to make the choice on our own, through governmental bullying via draconian mandates, or through public shaming, ostracism and ridicule.

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world . . .

Following are links to the major areas of the Bill’s Bible Basics website. Please take your time and explore everything that I have to offer you. GBY, and thank you so very much!
Dear potential friends, please understand that the primary reason why I have been online for the past 30 years, and the main reason why I purchased my very first computer back in 1993, was so that I could share my Christian faith with the online world. This has been, and continues to be, my primary motivation.
Since that time 30 years ago, I have slowly increased my presence across the Internet; first, by starting my own website — Bill’s Bible Basics — and then by syndicating my work to a variety of social networks.
Presently, I can be found on about fourteen different social networks. In each case, my presence on them has been to reach out to other Christians for fellowship, and also to teach them the things I have learned from God’s Word over the years. Again, God’s Kingdom, and sharing His Word with the world, is what I am all about.
Having said that, if you are not a Christian, and if you really have no serious interest in the Christian faith, then I ask you to please refrain from sending me a friend request, invitation or connection request. I am honestly not interested in investing my time with worldly people who are not spiritually hungry for the things of God.
I do not wish to offend any of you, but that is my position. I am getting old, and my health is not the greatest. Thus, I need to invest both my time and my health where it counts the most, and that is with those people who share my common faith.
Dear friends, please understand that if I accept your friend request or connection request, it is because I have checked out your page, and I have seen that you offer some indication on it that you are a Christian, and that you have a serious interest in sharing your faith with others. As Jesus said in the Gospels:
“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16, KJV
“Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” Mark 8:38, KJV
Sadly, later, upon revisiting certain pages and timelines, I have discovered nothing but worldly topics, and very little — or even nothing — regarding Jesus and God’s Word. There is no Christian witness to be seen there whatsoever. What happened to you?
My friends, in a word, discussing national politics; sharing food recipes; gabbing about celeb gossip; talking about the latest fashions; advertising products for sale; delving into the latest conspiracy theories; offering business opportunities; lauding military service and patriotism; etc., is NOT what I am about, and that is NOT why I accepted you as a friend or a connection in the first place.
In short, I accepted you as a friend because I assumed that you would be a blessing and a spiritual encouragement to my other online Christian friends, should they decide to visit your page. If you are not willing to do that; if you are not willing to let your Christian light shine; if you just want to discuss worldly matters; then I am truly sorry, but I no longer have an interest in keeping you as a friend or a connection. I want dedicated Christians as online friends, who are not afraid to boldly share their Christian faith on their accounts.
I am sorry if you are offended by my previous comments, but this is my position. I am only interested in an extended online Christian family. Folks can find all of that other junk elsewhere if they really want to. But if you are a part of my online network, then please get some guts, and openly share your faith! Following are some Bible study links which will encourage and motivate you to do exactly that:
While I cannot prove this conclusively, for some time now, I have suspected that there may be times when Facebook will purposely restrict sharing and commenting on a wide scale; not because you have personally done anything wrong, but perhaps because their servers are being overloaded by their global audience of Facebook users. If this is true, it could be a part of Facebook’s “load balancing” mechanism, whereby they distribute the workload — such as web browser requests — across many of their servers. Technically, load balancing is defined as the methodical and efficient distribution of network or application traffic across multiple servers in a server farm. But even with that, if the load becomes too great, maybe Facebook simply prevents a certain region of the world from sharing or commenting for a short period of time until the load on their servers lightens a bit. But this is just a guess on my part.
At the same time, it could also be that Facebook has purposely restricted you personally, because you have been posting, commenting, sharing or tagging too fast. I discuss these issues in some of my other BBB Blog posts. Basically, if you surpass the hourly or daily quotas which they have set for a particular activity, they may in fact restrict you for hours, days, weeks or longer. Many Facebook users refer to this as being thrown in jail. Again, I have written a few blog posts about this issue as well. You may want to refer to the following links:
A lot of people seem to be confused regarding why they are sometimes — and in some cases, often — thrown into Facebook’s infamous jail. I would like to share with you some of my personal observations, for your consideration. You can either accept it or reject it, as you please.
Being thrown into Facebook jail does not necessarily just have to do with what you post. In other words, it is not solely — or even always — based on the nature of the content of your post. Yes, if you post something nasty such as porn, or something that Facebook views as strong hate speech, or try to sell guns or drugs, for example, I am sure that Facebook will throw you in jail. They may even just ban you from Facebook entirely and permanently. Can you really blame them?
But extreme cases aside, my observation is that whether or not you are slapped on the wrist by Facebook has more to do with the frequency of your posts, and to how many other people you post, share, message or tag your content to within a specified period of time. That is why sometimes when you are chastised, a Facebook bot will send you a message telling you to slow down.
Please notice that I said TO OTHER PEOPLE in the previous paragraph. You can post things on your own timeline to your heart’s content, as much as you want, as fast as you want, and in whatever quantity you want. Facebook doesn’t really care about that as much — unless you are breaking their content rules obviously — because you are on your own turf. It is when you start reaching out to others that Facebook keeps a sharper eye on your activity, and watches out for what appears to be spamming behavior.
As I have mentioned before, when it comes to us Facebook Christians, I don’t really think that being blocked, restricted, thrown in jail, or whatever, is solely because of our Christian beliefs. Yes, it is sometimes due to sharing our faith, but not always. In fact, I am convinced that quite often, our being chastised by Facebook is due to other reasons.
Personally, I think it has more to do with the fact that, on the whole, we Christians on Facebook tend to be a rather zealous, enthusiastic lot of people. We have the truth of God’s Word, and so we really want to share it with as many people as possible. Therein lies the problem, and the reason why some of us find ourselves facing jail time a lot more often than others.
So because of our zeal for the Lord, what do we do? Quite simply, we go overboard sometimes. We post, tag, message and share to other Facebook users, more frequently, and to more people, than Facebook’s quota algorithms allow. That is why so many of us get castigated, in my belief. In short, we do it to ourselves, and then we turn around and accuse Facebook of persecuting us because of our faith, when, in my view, that may not really be what is happening in some cases.
For example, when I first joined Facebook in early 2011, and before I learned the ropes, I was blocked, restricted or thrown in jail a few times, because I didn’t yet fully understand the aforementioned quota system, limitations and anti-spam safeguards that Facebook has in place. And to be honest, there were probably times when I honestly didn’t care, and was willing to take the risks, because I wanted to get out the Word. How about you? Come on now. Be honest with yourself.
Once I figured it all out, I wasn’t chastised by Facebook for years, because I made sure that I played within their rules of conduct. That is, until the time when I began tagging my friends again, after receiving their specific permission to do so.
This is a very important point, so please listen up. You really don’t want to start tagging people left and right, whether they are your friends or not, unless you know for certain that they want to be tagged. Why take unnecessary risks?
Let me put it to you this way. If you keep tagging a pile of people from whom you did not receive permission first, sooner or later, some of them are going to become annoyed, and you are going to find yourself in a big heap of trouble.
Now here’s the thing. If they do become annoyed by your constant tags, they may not play nice. In other words, instead of asking you nicely to stop tagging them, they may just go behind your back and start marking all of your tags as spam. Do you know what will happen if Facebook receives enough complaints regarding your uninvited tags? That’s right! To jail you go, buddy! You see. You did it to yourself.
Of course, the problem here is that we users don’t know what Facebook’s daily quotas are for different activities, because they absolutely refuse to tell us. Not only that, but Facebook is always changing the value of these daily quotas, in order to keep us off guard. I understand the logic of their approach. It is a way to force us to be conscious of what we are doing, and to be careful regarding our posting, sharing, messaging and tagging levels.
Now, one thing you don’t want to do is to keep making the same mistake over and over again. If Facebook suddenly restricts your activities, or throws you in jail, don’t just get angry at them. Stop and try to figure out why you find yourself in that situation. What were you doing beforehand?
You see, the way it works is this: Each time that you make the same mistake, Facebook’s automated system sees that, and your punishment time — that is, your jail time — will simply be extended longer and longer each time that you make that same mistake, to the point where you may find yourself spending more time in jail, than out of jail. Kind of dumb on your part isn’t it?
Let me emphasize again that it is not just about the quantity of your posts, shares, messages, tags or whatever. It is also about the frequency or speed with which you do it. In other words, let’s assume that on one particular day, Facebook has set a tagging quota of 200 per user.
Of course, you will have no way of knowing that this is the quota for that day. But let’s say that you have only tagged 60 people that day, when all of a sudden, you are booted to jail. Wow! What happened? Surely you hadn’t tagged too many people already! In other words, maybe you didn’t break the quantity quota that day, but maybe you did break the frequency — or speed — quota. In other words, you were tagging people too fast, and Facebook’s system interpreted that as spam activity. Do you understand?
To reiterate, sometimes we are indeed harassed unfairly by liberal-minded Facebook employees who are annoyed by or who disagree with our Christian faith. After all, there are rotten apples in every barrel. But sometimes we also bring these problems upon ourselves by breaking Facebook’s posting, sharing and tagging rules.
In conclusion, when you are stopped, jailed, blocked or locked out of your account, quite often it is a result of Facebook trying to control spam and other forms of abuse on its global network, and may have little to do with your personal faith. With an estimated two billion users, many millions of whom are simultaneously online every single day, it is not an easy task. As a result, sometimes their bots and algorithms do make mistakes, or what are referred to as “false positives”. Their bots can be overly aggressive, and they incorrectly identify some actions taken by users. Facebook has admitted as much. But at least Skynet hasn’t arrived yet, and we aren’t just being wiped out! 🙂
So that is my take on this issue. What do YOU think?
Sometimes, after making a comment under one of my graphics on Facebook, people become a little confused, offended, or even angry, and they will say something like “Where is my comment? I can’t find it. Why did you delete it?” However, what some of you need to be made aware of, is that things are not always what they seem. Allow me to explain.
First of all, I very rarely ever delete comments from my Facebook friends. If and when I do that, it is usually because a person has been or becomes very disrespectful, combative, argumentative, or because they have posted something which I strongly feel is contrary to the Scriptures. If they persist in their negative activity, I will warn them a few times. But if that doesn’t work, then I will either unfriend them so that they can no longer comment on my posts, or else I will block them altogether, if the situation merits it.
The bottom line — and this applies to every single person who owns a timeline, page or group on Facebook — is my page, my rules. If you can’t respect the rules which I have established and adhere to them, then please just don’t comment, or leave, unfriend me, or do whatever you feel you need to do.
Having said that, as I have been explaining for a number of months now, there are times when your comments will indeed disappear. However, it is NOT because I removed them. Here are the facts. Since October of 2019, I have been repeatedly harassed by Facebook. I have been forced logged off, locked out of my account, forced to upload my personal ID, forced to change my password, and forced to jump through Facebook’s security hoops literally dozens of times, to the point of being absolutely ridiculous.
But something else that Facebook has been doing a lot of in recent months, is actually removing my posts from their platform. I am talking about many dozens of my posts being deleted because they supposedly go against Facebook’s “Community Standards”. Actually, a better name would be Facebook’s “Liberal Community Standards”. I know that many of you fully understand what I mean by that.
But the point is, when Facebook removes my posts, that means that all shared posts — meaning my posts which you share on your own timeline or page — all likes, and all comments likewise disappear. They are gone, as if they had never existed. So that is one big reason why you may not be able to find your comment.
There is another reason why people become confused, and think that their comment has been deleted. It has to do with the fact that I make the same posts on my timeline, on my page, and in the BBB group. In other words, in three different places on Facebook. Of course, if you are commenting on one of my posts while you are in your news feed, you may not realize exactly where your comment is being posted.
It is for this reason that if you visit my timeline, page or the BBB group directly, you will notice in the cover image that it says “You are here:”. This will be followed by “BBB Timeline”, “BBB Page” or “BBB Group”. That is obviously so that you know exactly which one of the three you are visiting.
So what does all of that mean? It means that when you comment on one of my posts in your news feed, you need to look carefully, and note exactly where you are posting. Stated another way, if you make a comment under one of my images which is on my timeline, and then later visit the BBB group and see the same image, you are NOT going to see your comment there. Why? Because you did NOT post your comment under the image that is in the BBB group. You posted it under the image that is on my timeline.
So you see, if you do not understand how Facebook works, then you will erroneously be led to believe that I have deleted your comment, when such is not the case at all. You are simply looking for your comment in the wrong place.
There is yet another reason regarding why you may not be able to find your comment. If a person is the first individual to write a comment under one of my status updates, and if you — or anyone else for that matter — comes along later and replies to their comment, if for some reason the first commenter decides to delete their comment, then all replies to their comment will be deleted as well. Again, that is just the way that Facebook works. Perhaps they do it to avoid confusion. But whatever their reasons, I have no control over it.
In a previous post on August 6, 2021, I questioned the veracity of the results of the so-called vaccine magnet test, which had been shared with me by a Facebook friend. According to that person, as well as other persons who have supposedly conducted the very same test, the COVID-19 vaccines contain metallic particles, or perhaps even a microchip … at least according to said persons.
From the start, I found this claim to be highly doubtful, as I informed the person who first shared this information with me. Following is a link to yet another article — this time from the Associated Press — which likewise confirms my doubts regarding this magnet story which has been circulating on Facebook and elsewhere lately:
In a previous post on August 6, 2021, I questioned the veracity of the results of the so-called vaccine magnet test, which had been shared with me by a Facebook friend.

From the start, I found this claim to be highly doubtful, as I informed the person who first shared this information with me. Well, as it turns out, the article below — which is found on the Reuters news website — clearly confirms what I had already theorized regarding there not being enough metal in these vaccines to attract a magnet in that way, even if the vaccines do contain metallic substances, which this Reuters article claims that they don’t. In particular, consider these four paragraphs from the article in question:

Secondly, none of the COVID-19 jabs approved in the United Kingdom or the United States contain metallic ingredients (here , here , here and here). Many other shots do have small amounts of aluminium, which does not stick to magnets, (here) but Oxford University researchers say this is no more harmful than the minimal quantities found naturally in almost all foods and drinking water (here).
Thirdly, even if COVID-19 vaccines did contain magnetic metals, they would not cause a magnetic reaction. Medical professionals at the Meedan Health Desk said: “The amount of metal that would need to be in a vaccine for it to attract a magnet is much more substantial than the amounts that could be present in a vaccine’s small dose” (here).
Professor Michael Coey from the School of Physics at Trinity College Dublin (here) also described the claims as “complete nonsense”, telling Reuters via email that you would need about one gram of iron metal to attract and support a permanent magnet at the injection site, something you would “easily feel” if it was there.
“By the way, my wife was injected with her second dose of the Pfizer vaccine today, and I had mine over two weeks ago. I have checked that magnets are not attracted to our arms!”, he wrote.

So there you have it. Believe it or not, as you will.
Dear friends, 23 years ago I wrote a 3-part series called “The Public School System and School Prayer”, which you can still read today at the following URL:
In the series, I explain how the USA’s moral and spiritual deterioration and corruption began in the public school classroom.
Sadly, as many of you will already know, that same deadly process continues unabated today with greater speed and force than ever before. It is shocking! It is mind-boggling!
In fact, I would dare say that perhaps it has almost reached its conclusion, because clearly, the powers of darkness have now overrun these institutions of public learning.
And what is the fruit of this vile process? One doesn’t have to look very far to see it, because it can be found in many of our very own children who are sexually confused, who have no respect for their elders and the laws of the land, who live in the flesh for the gratification of the moment, and sadly, who have abandoned God and His Word.
The tragedy is that in large part, we Christian parents were powerless to stop it, because not only were we slowly denied our parental rights, but gradually, we were also assigned the false classification of being enemies of the state, due to our Bible-based Christian beliefs, and our unwillingness to compromise our beliefs with the new order which has overtaken the American public school system.
But it wasn’t always like this. There was a time many decades ago when America’s public education system, all the way up to the university level, actually respected God and His holy Word. To read about it, check out this opinion piece in The Washington Times:
This information comes directly from “VAERS” — or Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System — which is hosted on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website at:
This reporting system is maintained by the CDC and the FDA. Anyone can go to the website and submit a Vaccine Adverse Event Report.
You can also use the online WONDER tool at https://wonder.cdc.gov/vaers.html to search the currently available data for specific types of information. Or, you can download the data sets and import them into a spreadsheet, database or text file.
One thing which the site repeatedly stresses — both in their videos and in their disclaimer — is that the data presented does not necessarily mean that the vaccine caused or contributed to the adverse event. It simply means that the adverse event occurred sometime after the vaccine was given.
Personally, I am not sure how to interpret that statement. It almost seems like double-speak. In other words, “Here is the data which has been collected thus far, but it doesn’t necessarily mean what you think it means.”
It is almost as if they are trying to cast doubt on the data which they have collected. At least that is the way that I see it. At any rate, I encourage you to read their full disclaimer, and then arrive at your own conclusions.
Another important point is that the data which is available on the site can be up to 4-6 weeks old due to the required processing time once each report is received. In other words, the real figures are most likely higher than what you see when you visit the site and search the data. As of today — 08-09-2021 — the data sets are based on reports which have been processed as of July 30, 2021.
Using the WONDER tool — and assuming that I did it correctly — I just conducted a search to determine how many people died after getting these three COVID-19 vaccines:
Again, if I did this correctly, that means that as of July 30, 2021, a total of at least 6,948 American citizens died after taking one of the three aforementioned vaccines. What about in the rest of the world?
Of course, there is that one caveat from the VAERS disclaimer which is staring us in the face: the VAERS data does not necessarily mean that those 6,948+ U.S. deaths resulted directly from taking the vaccines.
NOTE: Other people have likewise used the WONDER tool on the VAERS site, and have come up with about 13,000 deaths which occurred after receiving the COVID-19 vaccines, as of July 30, 2021. Regardless of which tests are correct, we cannot ignore the fact that thousands of people in the USA alone have died after receiving the vaccines.
So what do YOU think? Please let us know in the comments section below. Thanks!
The following quote from a Reuters news service article makes it rather clear:

“To defeat SARS-CoV-2, he said, will likely require a new generation of vaccines that also block transmission. Until then, the world will remain vulnerable to the rise of new coronavirus variants, according to Poland and other experts.”

Note: Dr. Gregory Poland is a vaccine scientist at the Mayo Clinic.
Dear friends, following is another link — likewise provided by Donna Vitale — which describes how experimentation is currently being done on infant rhesus macaques — they’re monkeys — in order to design safe COVID-19 vaccines for very young children, including for 6-month-old babies.
In fact, as this and the previous article I posted here point out, they are ALREADY using 6-month-old babies and children up to 11 years old as guinea pigs to perfect the vaccines for children.
But what also bothered me about the article below is what was stated by a certain Dr. Sallie Permar, who is chair of the Department of Pediatrics at Weill Cornell Medicine, and also pediatrician-in-chief at NewYork-Presbyterian Komansky Children’s Hospital. She stated the following, according to this article:
——- Begin Quote ——-
“Safe and effective vaccines for young children will help limit the spread of COVID-19 because we know children can transmit the virus to others, whether they get sick from SARS-CoV-2 infection or remain asymptomatic … Moreover, many children have become sick and even died from the infection, with many more negatively impacted by the measures put in place to curb the spread. Thus, young children deserve protection from COVID.”

Hold on there one second, doctor! For many months now they’ve been telling us that the elderly and the immunocompromised are the most vulnerable groups of people. Now this doctor is suddenly stating that “many children have become sick and even died from the infection.”
So does she know something that we don’t know? Is this something the news media has widely refused to report on for fear of generating panic perhaps? Or is this doctor purposely trying to change the narrative in order to try to justify vaccinating very young children, including babies?
I honestly don’t know the answer to this question, but I do find her comments unsettling. What I can say is the following:
Here where I live, over the past 17 months, thanks to mandatory masks, social distancing and other stringent measures, we have only had 143 deaths which have been attributed to COVID-19.
But the interesting thing is this. Of those 143 deaths, only ONE person was a child. He was a 9-year-old boy who had underlying health conditions, who died in September of last year.
All of the rest of the victims to date have been ADULTS. Furthermore, the vast majority have been ELDERLY ADULTS who have had underlying health conditions. If you doubt my word, check out this page on my Bill’s Bible Basics Blog:
What has been happening here on Guam fits the narrative which we have been given all along. That is that the elderly are the most vulnerable group, and the ones who are dying the most.
I assume that the situation is very similar in the mainland USA, and that mainly the elderly are dying from COVID-19.
Yet now this Dr. Permar comes along and paints a very different picture by stating that “many children have become sick and even died from the infection.”
Have any of you heard about this? Have you seen this happening in your part of the country? Are a lot of young children suddenly getting sick from COVID-19 and even dying? Or is it as I have suggested that this doctor is trying to change the narrative in order to try to justify vaccinating very young children, including babies?
Please remember that COVID-19 has about a 98% survivability rate, yet all of these people are still pushing to have EVERYONE vaccinated, and now even including 6-month-old babies.
Why? Why? Why? What is really going on? What aren’t they telling us?
Here is the link to the Cornell article in question:
Dear friends, if you really want to be well-informed regarding the many negative reactions which folks are experiencing with the vaccines, please check out the VAERS page at:
VAERS stands for “Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System”. There are currently over 545,000 individual reports on the site which describe a plethora of negative reactions to the vaccines.
My friends, you owe it to yourself to be aware of these things BEFORE you decide to be vaccinated!
“For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” Mark 11:23-24, KJV
After pondering this issue for a few minutes, I arrived at the following conclusion:
On the surface, while at first glance it may appear that the power of positive thinking and praying in faith are the same thing, this is another subtle deception of the world. It is New Age doctrine in my view. Let me tell you why I feel this way.
From the little I have read regarding this subject, according to the power of positive thinking cult, we possess the power to create things, to create our own realities, and to create our own futures, through our positive thoughts.
In other words, it is all us and the power of our minds. Either that, or they will attribute it to the Universe, as if the Universe is some living entity. I don’t think they ever say “God”. As I said, it is very New Age thinking.
In contrast, when we pray, we are in fact directing our thoughts and prayers very specifically to God the Father through Jesus Christ, which is why the Lord specifically told us to ask for things in HIS name, as we see by this set of verses:
In other words, unlike the power of positive thinking folks who attribute things to the power of our minds, or to the Universe, it is GOD who rewards us because of our faith and belief.
Furthermore, God the Father is not only the Cause of what happens, but He is also the one who creates the effect in the form of our answered prayer. It is not our minds, or the Universe.
In short, one gives glory to God, while the other gives glory to self, to the mind, or to the Universe.
Do you now see what a subtle deception the power of positive thinking mindset is? They seem almost like the same thing, but they are definitely not!
Isn’t that exactly the way that Satan operates? He is a copycat who creates false versions of things, which almost look like the real thing. But remember this:
“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11, KJV
By the way, I had never thought of any of this until early this morning while laying in bed. What do YOU think? Does it seem to make sense to you? Feel free to leave your comments below. Thanks!
Dear friends, it has long been my belief that if a person makes certain claims, then the onus is on them to provide reliable, credible evidence which supports their claims.
If you stop and think about it, the very same requirement is imposed on lawyers in a court of law. The fact is that a judge and jury will not be very willing to accepting something as being true, if no evidence is provided to support it by the lawyer. He or she will have a very weak case, and may very well lose the case. Should we be any different, or follow a lower standard, with our online activities?
As many of you will already know, I strive to be very careful regarding what I post on my timeline, and also with what I allow others to comment on my timeline as well.
The truth is that a lot of people say a lot of different things — sometimes very outlandish and crazy things — on the Internet, often without providing any credible evidence whatsoever which supports what they have stated.
What happens next? Well, other people come along, and without any investigation whatsoever on their part to determine if what they are reading is true, they then share it, or copy and paste it somewhere else on the web. The end result is that before you know it, you have another unsubstantiated Internet rumor which has gone wild.
My friends, personally, I don’t want to be a conduit for false or misleading information, and I am sure that you don’t either. Right?
In short, we shouldn’t expect people to believe us just because we say so. That would be dangerous. We need to give them reliable, credible evidence which supports our claims. We need to point them to the sources of our information, so that they can then determine for themselves if what we are saying is true.
To reiterate that last point, it is on each of us to validate what we are saying by pointing our readers to credible sources of information. That is how we can convince them of what we are saying. This is particularly important right now as the online world has been inundated with all kinds of information — including conspiracy theories — regarding COVID-19 and the controversial vaccines. It can be very confusing. That is why you need to verify your facts by pointing us to URLs and giving us credible, original sources.
Folks, this is just the way I roll. Please know that I hold both myself and others to the very same standard. It is called being accountable for what we say, and posting responsibly. I hope you agree.
Where is My Facebook Comment?
https://www.billkochman.com/Blog/where-is-my-facebook-comment/
Sometimes, after making a comment under one of my graphics on Facebook, people become a little confused, offended, or even angry, and they will say something like “Where is my comment? I can’t find it. Why did you delete it?” However, what some of you need to be made aware of, is that things are not always what they seem. Allow me to explain.
First of all, I very rarely ever delete comments from my Facebook friends. If and when I do that, it is usually because a person has been or becomes very disrespectful, combative, argumentative, or because they have posted something which I strongly feel is contrary to the Scriptures. If they persist in their negative activity, I will warn them a few times. But if that doesn’t work, then I will either unfriend them so that they can no longer comment on my posts, or else I will block them altogether, if the situation merits it.
The bottom line — and this applies to every single person who owns a timeline, page or group on Facebook — is my page, my rules. If you can’t respect the rules which I have established and adhere to them, then please just don’t comment, or leave, unfriend me, or do whatever you feel you need to do.
Having said that, as I have been explaining for a number of months now, there are times when your comments will indeed disappear. However, it is NOT because I removed them. Here are the facts. Since October of 2019, I have been repeatedly harassed by Facebook. I have been forced logged off, locked out of my account, forced to upload my personal ID, forced to change my password, and forced to jump through Facebook’s security hoops literally dozens of times, to the point of being absolutely ridiculous.
But something else that Facebook has been doing a lot of in recent months, is actually removing my posts from their platform. I am talking about many dozens of my posts being deleted because they supposedly go against Facebook’s “Community Standards”. Actually, a better name would be Facebook’s “Liberal Community Standards”. I know that many of you fully understand what I mean by that.
But the point is, when Facebook removes my posts, that means that all shared posts — meaning my posts which you share on your own timeline or page — all likes, and all comments likewise disappear. They are gone, as if they had never existed. So that is one big reason why you may not be able to find your comment.
There is another reason why people become confused, and think that their comment has been deleted. It has to do with the fact that I make the same posts on my timeline, on my page, and in the BBB group. In other words, in three different places on Facebook. Of course, if you are commenting on one of my posts while you are in your news feed, you may not realize exactly where your comment is being posted.
It is for this reason that if you visit my timeline, page or the BBB group directly, you will notice in the cover image that it says “You are here:”. This will be followed by “BBB Timeline”, “BBB Page” or “BBB Group”. That is obviously so that you know exactly which one of the three you are visiting.
So what does all of that mean? It means that when you comment on one of my posts in your news feed, you need to look carefully, and note exactly where you are posting. Stated another way, if you make a comment under one of my images which is on my timeline, and then later visit the BBB group and see the same image, you are NOT going to see your comment there. Why? Because you did NOT post your comment under the image that is in the BBB group. You posted it under the image that is on my timeline.
So you see, if you do not understand how Facebook works, then you will erroneously be led to believe that I have deleted your comment, when such is not the case at all. You are simply looking for your comment in the wrong place.
There is yet another reason regarding why you may not be able to find your comment. If a person is the first individual to write a comment under one of my status updates, and if you — or anyone else for that matter — comes along later and replies to their comment, if for some reason the first commenter decides to delete their comment, then all replies to their comment will be deleted as well. Again, that is just the way that Facebook works. Perhaps they do it to avoid confusion. But whatever their reasons, I have no control over it.
Now do you get it? Great! Now carry on! 🙂
