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.
The piece below is from the The Vaccination Inquirer and Health Review, December, 1881. Very relevant for today — let us cry out for God to put an end to the murderous practice of vaccination.
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).
This statement 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 the countless deaths and injuries caused by vaccines.
