Pope Francis urges people to get vaccinated against Covid-19
Pope Francis launches a powerful appeal for people to get vaccinated with approved Covid-19 vaccines, calling it “an act of love.”
This is where sentiment clouds the facts. Leading vaccinologists tell us mass vax is exactly the WRONG thing. Vax the vulnerable. Vaxing the healthy drives the variants

Does he require that all clergy be vaccinated and pedophile clergy be castrated?

I knew someone would post something like this.

However, it just goes to show you really don't know the details of the sex abuse scandal
by priest. Let me just inform you, less than 4% of the priest population were involved in sexual abuse. Of that number, less than 1% were actually pedophiles. The majority are homosexual priest who had affairs with young homosexual teen age boys and seminarians. Now, learn what a pedophile actually is, then come back and argue.

The problems are twofold; we have multiple sets of experts all telling us different things. Try it. Try hunting for a study which claims or concludes thing a) about this virus or the vaccine, then turn right around and try to find a study or report which claims or concludes thing b), basically the exact opposite. Chances are good you can find examples of both.

The second dimension is that this vaccine issue is being horribly over-spiritualized by both sides. Some are terrifying people by claiming it’s the Mark of the Beast. Others are mocking and shaming those who don’t want it as “bad Christians”, superstitious, or foolish. Both takes are wrong.

The CDC and WHO report the consensus of the scientists findings, not a few
maverick doctors.

Anti-vaxers listen to the mavericks and will help spread the virus until it mutates once
again and God forbid, the vaccines no longer protect us.

"Hip, hip hooray! for Pfizer/Moderna/J&J"—With love, Francis.

Not the vaccines themselves, but getting vaccination in order not to spread
the disease unto others is done out of an act of love.

Sure. "Whoopsie, we just made another billion today! Golly gee whiz how'd that happen?!? (Thanks, Francis. Now how can we help you?)

in order not to spread the disease unto others is done out of an act of love.

But they do still catch it, and spread it. "Unloving"?

Who exactly are these leading vaccinologists? The great majority of medical authorities recommend that as many people as possible should be vaccinated.

A lot of people aren't taking the vaccine because they're afraid of it. In my case I just happened to be more scared of catching the virus. As far as caring for others, I'm avoiding being near people and wearing a mask when I have to go shopping etc. Because for all I know I might be carrying the virus from what I've heard.

I think you would know it if you were carrying the virus!
