“I would like to ask the people on this floor and the people watching on television a very simple question. Do you know if I am carrying the COVID virus? In fact, do you know if the next person you meet is going to be carrying the COVID virus? And the answer is, you don't know, because we cannot see this virus with our naked eyes. And you don't know how this virus is going to interact with your body if it comes in contact with you. Don't act like you do know. Over 680,000 Americans have died. Millions more have been hospitalized, and many more are still suffering the effects of long COVID. In Matthew 4:7, Jesus said: Do not put the Lord your God to the test. God created the laws of chemistry and biology. God is not going to make an exception just for you for this biological virus. So please be humble, not arrogant, and talk to your doctor about the best way to protect yourself against this virus. ____________________”
