Conservative and alternative media were generally cheering a new poll over the weekend that shows a majority of American adults — just over 52% — say they “probably” or “definitely” will not get the new Covid-19 “vaccines” being pushed by the powers-that-be.
This is nothing to cheer about. It means there are still tens of millions of Americans who DO intend to get jabbed for the 5th or more time. It means journalists like me who have been trying to ring the alarm bell have failed to reach an appropriate number of people with the truth. And perhaps most importantly, it means we are still increasing the danger level for just about every American, not just the ones getting jabbed.
That last point is important. People often tell me that it’s “buyer beware” or “you can’t fix stupid” or “it’s on them.” I disagree. Even if we discount the possibility (likelihood?) that there is a certain degree of shedding that some doctors believe occurs between the vaxxed and the unvaxxed, we cannot ignore the inherent risks associated with more people dying suddenly.
Heart attacks, strokes, and other instantly debilitating medical events have been on the rise since the jabs were first rolled out. It’s telling that the CDC stopped releasing statistics about such events. To those who will tell me “it’s on them,” I would tell part of a story about a relative who nearly died when her 20-something friend had a heart attack while driving on the highway with her in the car. Had the heart attack happened moments earlier when they were going 80 MPH instead of right when they were hitting traffic and only going 35 MPH, then the outcome would have been different.
Do you ever fly on a plane? There are more and more incidents of pilots becoming incapacitated mid-flight. Do you have any medical operations planned in the future? Many of these reported incidents happen during times of physical or mental stress, and hovering over a patient during an operation can be very stressful. Then, there’s the sheer financial weight and reduced efficiencies of a population that is becoming less capable of fulfilling day-to-day duties and keeping the nation afloat.
In other words, I’m not a fan of the people who say it’s not our problem. That’s not to say I want to build an army of truth-tellers going door-to-door trying to sell anti-vaxxer ideologies like a Jehovah’s Witness recruiting for their church. But when I hear that only 52% of American adults are skeptical of the jabs, I feel like we haven’t been loud enough.
Then again, perhaps it’s just because most of us who are promoting the message have websites and shows that are generally right leaning. It seems to be Democrats who are most likely to get jabbed; 24% of Republicans plan on getting another jab compared to 70% of Democrats.
As has been true throughout the pandemic, a much smaller share of Republicans (24%) than Democrats (70%) expect to get the new COVID-19 vaccine – a 46 percentage point gap, according to our latest COVID-19 Vaccine Monitor poll. https://t.co/u1INw3bC6o pic.twitter.com/T1DZr0YFK1

There will be at least one snarky comment about how this might actually make the nation better in the long-term. I won’t go there. I will remind people that the 5-time-jabbed airline pilot on the next plane you board may be a Democrat.
Considering the jabs have failed to stop infections, slow spread, reduce hospitalizations, or prevent deaths, the anti-Covid-vaxx narrative should be an easy one to disseminate. Add in the adverse reactions that are widely known and this should be a slam dunk. You should have plenty of ammunition to convince thrice-infected Aunt Betty that she should hold off on her 6th injection.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
