In early July, Health Minister Adam Niedzielski admitted that the authority of the Church could help a lot in persuading Poles to accept the vaccine.
Experts spoke in a similar vein. – This is (…) an element that we lack – a clear voice of the Church – said the national consultant in the field of infectious diseases, prof. Andrzej Horban. In the program “Onet.Rano.” Dr. Paweł Grzesiowski, an immunologist, said directly: – We will not be able to cope in smaller towns without the help of the Church.
The president of the Polish Ecumenical Council responded to the minister’s words. «The commandment of love says to care for your neighbors and yourself, so I encourage everyone to get vaccinated. Let us listen to epidemiologists, let us convince those who succumb to disinformation. Let’s vaccinate for the common good »- wrote Bishop Jerzy Samiec on Twitter. In a statement published in early July, the chairman of the Polish Bishops’ Conference, Archbishop Stanisław Gądecki, emphasized that vaccination against COVID-19 is an important tool for limiting the spread of infections.
The metropolitan of Warsaw, Cardinal Kazimierz Nycz – Department of Pastoral Care of the Archdiocese of Warsaw sent a letter to priests in which he encourages them to be involved in the promotion of vaccination. The bishop of Elbląg, Jacek Jezierski, recently appealed to the faithful of his diocese, asking them to forestall a new wave of epidemics and to undergo vaccinations against COVID-19. “God has given us the time to live on earth, for work, creativity and family community. Yet our life is fragile. By failing to follow the doctors’ recommendations, we risk losing it prematurely. So I appeal to all those who are not vaccinated: do not give up vaccinations! ”.
