We have come full circle as some churches have become covid vaccination centres after much opposition previously came from some of them.
When the drive towards vaccination against coronavirus began, many with a Christian background where influenced to believe this might be the mark of the beast. This is one of many school of thoughts on vaccination by church goers. Vaccinating such ones proved to be a challenge.
Another school of thought is that vaccinations aren’t effective. This thought has even been the foundation for Denmark’s eradication of these covid preventative measures.
Following the government’s move allowing churches to open if congregants are vaccinated, it seems some churches are now singing a different tune. About 200 people are already being vaccinated per day at New Highfield Roman Catholic Church in Harare. This has been done to avoid people having to walk to the next vaccination centre which is far.
Those that thought this the government’s decision was just a drive to try and give people no choice but to get vaccinated thought this would happen. Pastors obviously don’t want to be arrested like what happened at Christ Embassy.
In short, if the decision on churches was indeed a move to increase the number of people getting vaccinated, then this is yet another win for the government.
