This issue, being a #GhenGhen something, has been knocking on my head since I came alive, especially when my OLD man spews it from his mouth anytime I go sick.
Even when he goes sick, he counts it as his SIN reflecting on him.
Though, he isn't the first person, neither would he be the last person to deem it fit to say sickness is a result of every individual's sin.

As a juvenile, truly, I know I committed uncountable SINS which God have forgiven me for.
But,
Geez!

The flashback I'm having NOW is pointing to me that I was a smart-ass in committing sin that even a woman (who was the proprietress of the Nursery School I attended) reported to my benefactors that I was skilled in the ACT and ART. That if I wasn't watched I may go tougher, smarter and stronger than the likes of Anini, Oyenusi, Shina Rambo, et al. Trust my benefactors, they rejected the woman's statement. And they were too smart to not reject the part of the woman's statement where she said I should be watched. Nonetheless, my old man picked that point. As an aftermath, I got sick (along with my two other siblings) that required up to 15 injections for me to get well (my siblings got well 2 days before me).
I think this is the reason why I prefer INJECTION to DRUGS.
.
At adolescence, I wondered, "so my old man (who is my earthly god) could be a sinner upon all his admonition that I shouldn't LIE, STEAL, CURSE, BEAR FALSE WITNESS, etc."
But I got to understand that even the like of ZEUS, HERA, HERCULES, ARES, HADES, and all beings of OLYMPUS (though mythical) also made one mistake or the other that led to committed sins. Giving an essence that they were humans who is bound to be tempted, but have the options to either accept or decline.
.
As an adult, I've discern that this SICKNESS (Illness/Unwellness) is a state of man when he is not disposed; when he has distaste to a particular or everything; when he is very tired or wishing to have no more; when he is having an unpleasant feeling; when he is anguished, self-absorbed, despaired, and even (sometimes) revolting against God.
All these have one after-effect or the other (vomiting, sleeping, dying, etc.). In fact, these are what sickness is termed to be.
This sickness have always been among the gravest problems confronted in human life. It makes man experience his powerlessness, limitations, finitude, and even make us glimpse death.
At times, to other men, sickness brings maturity which helps him to discern what is not essential so that he can turn towards that which is.

#MyPoint:
It is obvious enough that SICKNESS IS BASED ON SIN, but it seems so because, very often, sickness provokes a search for God and a return to him which is more reason why sickness is NOT based on sin.
Below is the EVIDENCE why SICKNESS is BASED not on SIN:
"A man named Lazarus...was ill." (John 11:1)
"...when Jesus received the news that Lazarus was ill, he stayed where he was for TWO more days." (John 11:6)
"And Jesus said, 'the final result of this illness...is in order to bring glory to God...'" (John 11:4)
"When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had died and been buried..." (John 11:17)
"Didn't I tell you that you would see God's glory if you believed?" (John 11:40)
"Jesus Wept!" (John 11:35)
"...he called out in a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come out!" (John 11:43)
"...and they believed in him." (John 11:45)
Here is where the ANNOINTING OF THE SICK comes in.
SICKNESS IS NOT BASED ON SIN.
Anyone wanna counter me?!
