Absolutely, Jesus is at the very door...and yes The Great Physician is the only answer. I had an event at age eight, that left me with zero trust of the medical establishment and all "physicians". As soon as I was an adult I was no longer forced to use their services. Those with perfect faith, will not give in to fear. I survived Yellow Fever on my own, when I had a 40% chance of survival even if I had been in a hospital. I contracted Yellow Fever from a vaccine. The only two YF vaccines both contain a live virus. I know, I know... I was a fool to get the YF vaccine. In 1999 I had some money, for the first time in my life. I had a feeling of desperation, that I had to see the places in the world on my bucket list, because I knew the day was coming when regular folk would not be allowed to travel unless they agreed to certain documents, embedded chips, etc. I remember on the drive to the county health department (the only place to get YF) I felt a terrible sense of dread, as if I was making a horrible mistake. Anyway, it was all for nothing. I was never asked for proof. I should have made a fake card...it certainly would have fooled the dim bulbs working the customs table at Zanzibar airport.

I was never asked for the yellow fever proof of "vaccination" either. Even though I had it.

Where were you headed? I regret to say I fell for lies in a Lonely Planet guide book that said I would not be allowed onto the plane to Zanzibar at the Nairobi Airport without a Yellow Fever Vaccine Card. All the travel guides I've read are more likely to be wrong than right.

over a few years, Kenya, Rhodesia, Mozambique (got the visa didn’t go), South Africa, Botswana. I remember well the Lonely Planet guides. I thought for Central and South America they were pretty good.
