Christian Comment has no official (or unofficial) ‘position’ on vaccination, but thought that this counter-narrative is worthy of reporting.
Archbishop José Gomez
This is relevant but we should point out that the quotes immediately below are in relation to wokeness, not vaccinations. The Archbishop of Los Angeles, José Gomez, is president of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops. He gave an address by video to a conference in Madrid about a Christian response to wokeness. Whilst this was about wokeness it perhaps impacts our approach to ‘vaccination’.
“An elite leadership class has risen in our countries that has little interest in religion and no real attachments to the nations they live in or to local traditions or cultures. This group, which is in charge in corporations, governments, universities, the media, and in the cultural and professional establishments, wants to establish what we might call a global civilization, built on a consumer economy and guided by science, technology, humanitarian values, and technocratic ideas about organizing society….
… I think history will look back and see that this pandemic did not change our societies as much as it accelerated trends and directions that were already at work. Social changes that might have taken decades to play out, are now moving more rapidly in the wake of this disease and our societies’ responses
… The new social movements and ideologies that we are talking about today, were being seeded and prepared for many years in our universities and cultural institutions. But with the tension and fear caused by the pandemic and social isolation, and with the killing of an unarmed black man by a white policeman and the protests that followed in our cities, these movements were fully unleashed in our society”.
Christian Comment: that is the philosophical and social background in which current vax-anti-vax battles are being waged.
Pray first!
Christian Comment’s clear and prayerful advisory to any taking (or not taking) the mRNA technology, or any other technology, is to do so first and foremost in prayer: https://christiancomment.org/?s=vaccine+prayer
A different perspective
Whilst not a Christian commentary, this seems worthy of consideration: https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/why-have-we-doctors-been-silent/
Something is going on in our world and neither the media not the ‘governments’ and their institutions will roll-back what they have undertaken. Christian Comment was one of the earlier blogs to point out that fear has been used as a weapon from day one of the Covid saga:

Pray last!
Keep praying friends. And seek first His Kingdom. Amen.
