There is today A mother who does not follow the officially approved vaccination schedule for her infant? Certainly not.. Who does not love and care for their children? It is worth mentioning, briefly, what vaccines have offered humanity. They have offered as much as any other discovery. During the 20th century, they increased the average human lifespan because most infectious diseases were combated until they were eradicated. Tetanus, polio, diphtheria, tuberculosis, smallpox, etc. More recently, hepatitis B. Even neoplastic diseases (cancer) are now being eliminated. Girls are vaccinated against the human papillomavirus, which causes cancer in the genitals. The medical community is studying vaccination for the ultimate victory over other forms of this deadly disease. And for the coronavirus, the current pandemic, the vaccine has emerged as a hope for salvation.
And while the entire scientific community is at the beginning of this truly life-saving vaccination, in official letter from the Hierarch to the Archbishop, which was kindly republished, we read the following. I quote: «The reservation is expressed that there is a fear that these vaccines may adversely affect human memory, alter DNA, cause sterility in women, and play a role similar to that of a «mark» etc.». How can I not wonder: So much obscurantism? Instead of praising the divine inspiration that led the entire scientific community to develop an effective and life-saving vaccine, on the eve of its rollout in our country, unfounded fears are being spread.
None of this is based on the slightest evidence; there is not a shred of medical truth in it. The opinions expressed are so false that I am certain that the Archbishop, who himself fell ill and, thanks to the help of the most advanced scientific means, recovered so quickly and effectively, not only will it not take this letter into consideration, but it will consider it unworthy of a response. It really is maximum ingratitude When a man grew up, he and his generation, freed from the scourges of his time, such as polio and tetanus, thanks to vaccines, could wage a fierce war against them, now that humanity had the vaccine. polio, and tetanus, thanks to vaccines, to rage against them, now that humanity has placed its hopes in vaccines.
I will conclude with one observation. Every year, the flu vaccine is new; it is not the same as last year's. In other words, the know-how for fast and safe vaccine production now exists. Let us rejoice in the vaccine as a gift brought to us by the birth of the baby Jesus, and let us repay him with true love, that is, love for our neighbor. We stay safe so as not to transmit the deadly virus to our fellow human beings, which unfortunately is finding it increasingly easy to spread.
