Pope Suggests Getting Vaccinated Against COVID-19 Is a ‘Moral Obligation’
Pope Francis says the COVID-19 vaccine is “the most reasonable solution” for the prevention of the virus.
According to The Associated Press, Francis said in a speech Monday that individuals are responsible for taking care of themselves, “and this translates into respect for the health of those around us. Health care is a moral obligation.”
He argued individuals are letting “themselves be influenced by the ideology of the moment, often bolstered by baseless information or poorly documented facts.”

He continued, “Vaccines are not a magical means of healing, yet surely they represent, in addition to other treatments that need to be developed, the most reasonable solution for the prevention of the disease.” – READ MORE
