Evangelical pastor Franklin Graham says he would be happy to work with the Biden administration in encouraging evangelicals to get COVID-19 vaccines.
“I would work with the Biden administration. I would work with the CDC. I would work with all of ‘em to try to help save life,” he told Axios’ Mike Allen on an episode of “Axios on HBO” that aired Sunday.
Evangelicals have expressed high levels of vaccine hesitancy.
An AP/NORC poll in March found that 40% of white evangelicals are unlikely to get vaccinated, a much higher number than other Christian groups, reported Axios.
Graham, president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse, also warned Christians that if they waited too long to get the inoculation, “it could be too late.”
“I want people to know that God loves them,” Graham said in response to a question from Allen. “He will forgive you and God will accept you into his presence.”
“I want people to know that COVID-19 can kill you,” he continued. “But we have a vaccine out there that could possibly save your life. And if you wait, it could be too late.”

After encouraging Trump to concede, I had to unfollow him on Instagram. I do not follow him on GAB and precisely for the reasons below.
He is not on our side. God loves us and forgives us. What the heck does that have to do with taking the shot?
If we wait too long it might be too late? What to get into heaven? Over a possibly fake virus with a 99.8% survival rate?

what is wrong with people?.....Graham must have been threatened....
This apple fell VERY FAR from the tree.
“I want people to know that COVID-19 can kill you,” he continued. “But we have a vaccine out there that could possibly save your life. And if you wait, it could be too late.”

so...COVID could \possibly\ kill you but the vaccine could \possibly\ save your life.
Do I see a “superhero”, wiping sweat from his brow as he contemplates which button to push?
