We live in an age where too many Christian leaders are either silent about vaccines, or even, to the church’s shame, openly support them. Instead, Christianity needs in its ranks more no-nonsense, unapologetic anti-vaccine leaders like L.W.C. Keuchenius who do not sugarcoat vaccines — but who warn people about them, point out the religious devotion attached to them, and rebuke those who create and promote them.
Thanks to the labors of men such as Kuyper, a voice against mandatory vaccination would be entrenched in the public sphere of the Netherlands. Kuyper, then, did not use his influence to shill for vaccination — as so many do today. Rather, as an adherent of the Christian religion, he worked to protect people from being forced to undergo this pagan poison rite.
When it comes to defending human life, vaccination — which has insidiously injured and killed countless people — is, along with abortion, the biggest battle of the day.
As such, it is imperative that churches have official statements condemning vaccination (both its use and state-imposed mandates). Here are some statements from churches that are taking this issue seriously.
Good sermon! Pastor/Dr. Jason Garwood critiques vaccine tyranny fostered by statist idolatry, and calls to end the silence on vaccines. Pray other pastors follow his example.
Christians have always been divided on the ethics of vaccination. As for those who have seen vaccination for the evil that it is, the recognition that vaccination is “doing evil that good may come” is not novel; there has been Christians who have discerned this throughout the history of vaccination (and its forerunner, inoculation).
