The nature of the Koran and it's author (Mohammed) essentially eliminate any credibility in it. The Bible on the other hand gives a complete credible accounting of God's dealing with Israel and mankind that makes complete sense. I believe the King James Version is the inspired Bible in English. It is based on the Received Text. Many of the writers and people recorded in the Bible had personal encounters with God that are very credible. Moses for example, who led the people of Israel out of bondage in Egypt. Other men who wrote parts or books of the Bible give very credible accounts of their encounters with God. Many fulfilled prophecies recorded in the Old Testament were fulfilled in some cases centuries later. These are a few reasons it is believable. Not just because the Bible itself teaches it is true. There is far more to it than that. Nothing is based on how I feel about it. Each person has to have their own faith. Your faith in the Bible and God has to be based on your own belief about it. You don't have to believe me on anything. You are free to research it, study it, and come to your own conclusions. I realize a lot of anti-vaxxers are Christians / Bible believers. I believe they are in serious error. They do not accept the science. That is a whole different topic which I won't delve into there. I trust the authorities on vaccination. The Bible says in Romans ch13 God ordained authorities and we are to obey them.

What you're asking is a little more involved subject. You would have to do a bit of studying of the Bible and learn the difference between the teachings of the false religions and the God of the Bible. Islam and the Koran are easily debunked with a little reading. Try using a search engine and enter the words " Islam and the Bible but be careful you don't just read some Islamic website. There are lots of those. If you study the Bible a bit you will learn a lot of reason why the Bible is far superior to other religions.. The Bible was written over a period of 1,500 years by about 40 different authors (66 books) in the King James Bible. They were inspired by God to write the Bible. I can't really go into all the difference on here as the volume of information involved. You have to look at the founder of Islam, Mohammed, and see what kind of character he was and the claims he made when he wrote the Koran. There is no comparison with the Bible and the men who wrote the Bible. The Bible is centred around Jesus Christ, who the Bible says is the image of God or Son of God. He was raised from the dead and seen by many eye witnesses as recorded in the New Testament. In the Bible God is actually three persons in one. He is not three Gods, but one God in three persons, the Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost (or Holy Spirit). He is separate from his creation. The Bible says he is a spirit. He is different than the false gods in other religions in a number of ways. The God of the Bible is also a Spirit who is present everywhere. He is omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing), and eternal (always existed). So God send his Son, Jesus, to earth to take on a human nature and body for the purpose of atoning for man's sin. The Bible teaches we are all fallen, corrupt sinners. Other religions do not have this and they do not have an atonement for sin. The God of the Bible is personally knowable and any individual can have a personal relationship with him. The Bible teaches this. God wants all to come into a personal relationship with him and thereby receive eternal life. Other religions don't have this. Yes, we can look at the same verse and come to different understandings. That is common in the world. That is why there are thousands of different denominations. But most denominations do agree on certain basic fundamental teachings about God. The Bible often has to be used to interpret itself, that is, scripture interprets scripture. Sometimes it involves understanding the context. Sometimes it requires understanding the Bible is divided into dispensations or ages of time.

You are correct. How many thousands of people die naturally every day in a country of 338 million people. Probably quite a few. Many die of natural causes, diseases, auto accidents, shootings, etc. etc. So the claim that 6,000 plus died after they were vaccinated does not really mean the vaccine caused it. We don't know the time frame either or the health condition of the people who died. But since some website bring this up, it must be dealt with on a rational basis.

The number of Covid deaths in the U.S. has reached at least 920,959. The number of deaths from vaccination out of 527,784,089 vaccinations administered (if the deaths were caused by the vaccination, which has not been proven) is over 6,000 according to VAERS. 83,400 plus of the Covid deaths were unvaccinated people. So that works out to 0.0018% or 18 deaths per million people vaccinated and it's not clear that the cause was the vaccine in all cases. Calculate the number of Covid deaths per million people. It works out to 2725 deaths per million people. It is far greater than the number of deaths from the vaccine, 18, if indeed the vaccine caused some deaths. The conclusion is that the facts and statistics show the chances of death from Covid are far, far greater from Covid than from vaccination. So it is irresponsible to spread anti-vaxxer fear mongering. That kind of thing costs more people their lives.

I was incorrect. One website says the number of deaths in the U.S. after vaccination was 0.0018%. It says 527,784,089 people were vaccinated. This works out to 18 deaths per one million people. But it also points out the deaths occurred some time after vaccination; they said they have not confirmed that the deaths were a result of the vaccination or some other cause. The number of Covid deaths in the U.S. has reached at least 920,959. The number of deaths from vaccination out of 527, 784,089 vaccinated (if the deaths were caused by the vaccination) is over 6,000 according to VAERS. 83,400 plus of the Covid deaths were unvaccinated people. The conclusion is that the facts and statistics show the chances of death from Covid are far, far greater from Covid than from vaccination. So it is irresponsible to spread anti-vaxxer fear mongering. That kind of thing costs more people their lives.

A colony for anti-vaxers, anti restrictions people is being started in Paraguay. Good place for the freedom convoy crowd on here to move to.
-
There is no "God given right" to infect other people with Covid and kill them.
-
You're the one who seems to not care about protecting people from Covid. You want to be "free" from health restrictions.
-
People don't die from myocarditis. It is rare and it is treatable. I don't think people are committing suicide. But thousands of people could die if there are no restrictions and mandates.
-
You can't have it both ways. You either kill people with Covid or you save their lives with some restrictions when health authorities advise. Guess you want people to die.
-
Ridiculous. It's all about saving lives. Why do you want people to die?
-
Why are you against saving lives or old people and others?
-
Bull. Why do you want old people and others to die of Covid when it can be prevented or reduced?
-
It's a simple fact the death rates in the UK and the US were far higher than Canada. Has nothing to do with "big pharma".
-
Blindness to facts is almost worse than Covid.
-
Yes that is true, but you are talking about before a high percentage of residents and staff were vaccinated. That was especially bad in 2020, two years ago when Covid first began.
-
No, I think you are the one ignoring plain facts from Public Health Ontario and DR. Zain Chagla that I gave you. You don't accept any facts that counter your anti- Covid restrictions / anti vaccine narrative.
-
Israel is a very small country and probably very densely populated. So people probably have much closer contact. Canada is a very large country with a relatively small spread out population. Also don't forget the number of infections is not the most important factor because even vaccinated people catch Covid. The important factor is the number of deaths. Maybe Israel has a lot of spread but perhaps relatively mild infections and not so many deaths.
-
I am not an expert on what is happening in every country. Are you? Since you mention it, you tell us.

I saw on the news that certain places had certain restrictions at times. But there was an ongoing battle between different state and the federal government over mask mandates and some restrictions. DeSantis, the Republican governor of Florida lifted a lot of restrictions as I recall.

The U.S. death rate from Covid was 280 per 100,000 population. The Canada death rate from Covid was 94 per 100,000 population. Canada took far stronger measures and the vaccination rates were higher in Canada. That is why the U.S. had about three times as many deaths per 100,000 population. Mortality Analyses - Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center (jhu.edu) We saw quite often on the news what a mess the U.S. was with some state fighting and opposing mandates and restrictions.
