But a slim majority have not heard their congregation’s leaders say much about them
As houses of worship continue to reopen, most U.S. adults who regularly attend religious services voice confidence in their clergy to provide guidance on the coronavirus vaccines – and far more say they have heard their pastor, priest, rabbi or imam encourage people to get vaccinated than have heard their clergy raise doubts about COVID-19 vaccines. But a slim majority of regular worshippers say they have not heard their religious leaders say much about vaccinations either way, according to a new Pew Research Center survey conducted Sept. 20-26, 2021.
Also, among U.S. adults overall, there is no clear consensus about whether houses of worship have had a positive or negative impact on the American response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The survey finds that a growing share of Americans are now attending religious services in person. Among those who say they typically attend services at least once or twice a month, a clear majority (64%) report that they actually have gone in person in the past month, the first time that has been the case in three surveys conducted since the pandemic began.
The resumption of in-person attendance has been accompanied by a decline in the share of both U.S. adults overall and regular worshippers who say they have watched religious services online or on TV in the past month.
Many U.S. congregants – i.e., people who say either that they typically attend religious services at least monthly or that they have attended in person in the past month, who together comprise a little more than a third of all U.S. adults – say they have heard the clergy or religious leaders at their house of worship weigh in on coronavirus vaccines. And among those who have heard.......

Most people are stupid
I do not consult my pastor about medical decisions.
It’s not their job to coerce me into injecting experimental substances and would find a new one if mine did.
Not me.
Not me.
My pastor gave a sermon about why he ain’t taking no Covid vaccine.
yup. Clergy and journalists have a role but it’s not virology.
It should be a personal choice....
I enjoy liturgical learning - my priest has far greater knowledge on that subject than I do.
As for the rest? Hard no.
I went to the Pfizer and Moderna websites to find out about the level of fetal cell use in relationship to their Covid vaccines and did not find the information I sought.
From the linked sources:
Covaxin (codenamed as BBV152) is an inactivated virus-based COVID-19 vaccine developed by Bharat Biotech in collaboration with the Indian Council of Medical Research.
A sample of SARS-CoV-2 was isolated by India’s National Institute of Virology and used to grow large quantities of the virus using vero cells. From then on, the viruses are soaked in beta-propiolactone, which deactivates them by binding to their genes, while leaving other viral particles intact. The resulting inactivated viruses are then mixed with the aluminium-based adjuvant Alhydroxiquim-II.
On 7 April [2021], Mexico gave emergency authorization for Covaxin.
On 31 March, the Brazilian health regulator Anvisa rejected Bharat Biotech’s application for supplying Covaxin in the country due to non-compliance with manufacturing norms. Bharat Biotech stated that they would re-apply after meeting the requirements. On June 4, Anvisa approved exceptional imports of Covaxin, imposing conditions that restrict it mainly to healthy adults and limiting it to just 1% of the country’s population to manage the risks through control and supervision of side effects. Anvisa cited as main concerns the incomplete phase III study, a short 45-day follow-up, which should be 60 days to meet the international consensus, and a novel imidazoquinoline adjuvant that may increase the chance of developing an autoimmune disease. On 30 June, Brazilian regulators suspended the deal and an investigation was opened into it by federal prosecutors to probe accusations of irregularity.
In July 2021, Bharat Biotech reported the vaccine to be 64% (95% CI, 29–82%) effective against asymptomatic cases, 78% (65–86%) effective against symptomatic cases, 93% (57–100%) effective against severe COVID-19 infection, and 65% (33–83%) effective against the Delta variant.

“Vero cells are a lineage of cells used in cell cultures. The ‘Vero’ lineage was isolated from kidney epithelial cells extracted from an African green monkey...The lineage was developed on 27 March 1962, by Yasumura and Kawakita at the Chiba University in Chiba, Japan.”

Bingo. I don’t consult my doctor on spiritual matters. I don’t consult my pastor on medical matters. And my car mechanic doesn’t chime in on either.
Who would? This is weird.
Sure they would......... NOT.
The best example of why people are skeptical of all leaders in high is the Antipope Bergolio (Francis) squatting in the papal throne who is not Catholic.
Bizarre article—the mass media is trying every trick in the book to con people into taking a potentially dangerous vaxx.
Next up—Santa Claus recommends the vaxx for kids!
My former pastor, who, by God’s Grace, had recovered from Covid, went and got vaccinated.
Former pastor.
The second your “clergy” tells you to mask up, is the time for you to walk out and never return.
“Clergy” that push this are part of the Great Reset.
As if they’ll admit what they put in the suicide shots?
You ready for your boosters yet?
Agree.
If the clergy member is not a part of the Great Reset knowingly, he is unknowingly in that he does not have the gift of discernment.
Do your own research. Don’t trust anyone else.
