Willem Bilderdijk (1756-1831) was a Dutch poet, a noted lawyer, and an important figure in the Protestant revival in the Netherlands.
In opposition to vaccines, he at one point noted the evil of using the pulpit as a means to promote vaccination:
God preserve us that we should recommend a vaccine and thereby misuse the Church’s pulpit and the position of a servant of God. Never the less anything is possible for Christians in these despicable times of restraint of conscience.
This quote brings to mind some Christians today who write public articles in support of vaccinations; experts in what they know nothing about, and who are unwittingly contributing to countless deaths and injuries caused by vaccines.
