Pope Francis reiterated the need to be vaccinated against COVID 19 and recalled that “humanity has a history of friendship with vaccines.”
At the press conference he gave this Wednesday, September 15, to journalists accompanying him on the plane back to Rome after his apostolic trip to Rome, the Holy Father recalled that “all children have been vaccinated and none deia ‘mu’ “.
“Then came this,” he lamented in reference to the fear of the coronavirus vaccine. Perhaps this has come from the virulence, the uncertainty, not only from the pandemic, but also from the diversity of vaccines and also from the fame of some vaccines, which ‘are something else’, ‘a little distilled water · lada ‘. That scared people. “
“Then, others who say that it is a danger because with the vaccine the virus enters … Many discussions that have created this division. Also in the college of cardinals there are some deniers and one of them, poor, goes being infected with the virus. Ironies of life “.
The Pope noted that these doubts about vaccines are explained “by the diversity of vaccines that have not been sufficiently experienced, and are afraid. It must be clarified and spoken calmly about this. In the Vatican we are all vaccinated, except for a small group that is being studied how to help them. “
In a video made with bishops of the United States and Latin America, released on August 18, Pope Francis argued that “vaccinating with vaccines authorized by the competent authorities is an act of love.”
He also argued that “helping most people do it is an act of love. Love for oneself, love for family and friends, love for all peoples.”
“Vaccinating is a simple but profound way to promote the common good and to care for each other, especially the most vulnerable,” he noted on that occasion.
