‘We Have No King but King Jesus’: 101 Ohio Pastors Push Back Against Vaccine Mandate in Open Letter to Biden
Faith Wire ^ | 10/12/21 | Andrea Morris

The debate over President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate continues to be a matter of contention among federal workers, contractors, and the private sector as his administration attempts to crack down on unvaccinated Americans.

Some say the mandate violates an individual’s personal and religious freedom while others argue that it ignores the natural immunity of millions of Americans because they have fully recovered after coming down with COVID-19.

A group of Ohio clergy representing more than 100 congregations across the state signed a letter Monday that was addressed to President Biden, detailing why they strongly disapprove of his directive, according to Front Lines Ohio.

“As clergymen from one hundred and one (101) diverse congregations across North Central Ohio, we would like to note that this unnecessary mandate by your office is in sharp contrast to the statement you made as President-elect on December 4th, 2020 when you stated you would not impose a national vaccine mandate,” the letter reads.

It also points out that on Oct. 7, 2020, Vice President Kamala Harris stated she “would not take a COVID-19 vaccine if ordered by the President of the United States.”

The pastors draw attention to the virus’ high survival rate which has raised issues over why the Biden administration is mandating that people receive the vaccine.

“The federal government should not impose its will on persons by mandating COVID-19 experimental vaccines and removing other alternative treatments. The people should have the ability to make their own health decisions,” the letter read.

That was the motto of the Continental Army in the Revolution. “No other king but Jesus.”

Xiden the Chinese Bot certainly ain’t no “king.” Not in the Biblical sense. Nor in the secular sense, since we’re a Republic.
