Loads of Articles Addressing Vaccination from a Biblical Worldview
Christian Opposition to Vaccination in History
I have written several biblical critiques of vaccination in particular areas on this website. Here is a more concise critique that gets to the heart of the matter quickly — good for sharing with fellow Christians struggling in this area. (Although I do highly recommend other articles on this site at some point for a more thorough critique.)
If you a Christian who vaccinates, this is all not to “beat you up,” but to convict and motivate you to change your mind. We all stumble in many ways, so no one but God is perfectly righteousness.
This is the first edition. I may update this article from time to time. There is so much to be said, surely more can be added.
The idea of vaccination has been pushed on our society for countless decades — and is presented as scientifically infallible and morally obligatory. Like many narratives that the elites push on us, however, nothing could be further from the case.
Here we assess vaccination not by the fallible word of man, but by the infallible word of God — and find it morally wanting. Yes, Scripture speaks to vaccination — not by name, but by principles of wisdom and moral imperatives.
As Christians, we are tasked with being salt and light in our culture, which has long been in decay; a rotting corpse with the stench of many evils — vaccination included. With the use of clever lies and in the name of saving lives, vaccination has long been the source of untold bloodshed and misery for humanity.
My hope is that many Christians will be convicted by this material that vaccination is immoral, and should be actively opposed — both by Christians individually, and as a body. Perhaps the church, by the power of God, can play a significant role in curing this cultural rot and thus help reverse our moral declension.

Vaccination opposes God’s natural order
Scripture says,
And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. (Genesis 1:31a, ESV)
God designed the body to work a certain way, and to assimilate some things and not others. Vaccination violates both of these principles.
God has given us the skin to protect our bodies from foreign substances. He has also given us bodily defenses (such as the gut, which filters and detoxifies foreign substances to protect the bloodstream) should we assimilate foreign substances through the mucosal route.
(It is via this route that supposed “vaccine preventable diseases” are said to enter the body, and so why would we expect vaccination — which bypasses this route — to more effectively deal with them?)
Indeed, 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 makes an analogy between the physical body and the body of Christ to say that all of those in the church are interdependent of one another and everyone plays a crucial role. This is based on the fact that all parts of the physical body are interdependent and each part likewise plays a crucial role.
In vaccination, your bodily defenses — such as the skin (which externally protects the bloodstream), the gut (which internally filters and detoxifies foreign substances to protect the bloodstream), and other important defenses — are considered “unnecessary” because they are bypassed via injection.
In essence, vaccination says to your most vital bodily defenses, “I have no need of you” — despite their critical role in keeping out or filtering poisons (including vaccine ingredients themselves). Practically speaking, when vaccination is performed, the organs and protections that it bypasses are removed, as their uses in that occasion are nullified.
Thus vaccination very dangerously disregards both of these integral aspects of God’s natural design by injection of foreign substances directly into the body. Such substances shouldn’t go into the body to begin with — but their danger is compounded in the way the enter the body.
And so vaccination is doubly unnatural: the injection of unnatural ingredients into the body in an unnatural way.
Vaccination is a violation of the Sixth Commandment
Consider the timeless truths of Scripture that we reap what we sow (e.g., Galatians 6:7, 8), and that bad trees bear bad fruit (e.g., Matthew 7:15-20). By disregarding God’s natural design, we would expect then that vaccination does not promote health and life, but disease and death.
And it does — everything from cancer, to sudden death — and a host of other things.
Indeed, countless eyewitness testimonies throughout vaccine history show that vaccination is outright genocide — and Scripture takes seriously such testimony. Consider texts that affirm the validity of more than one credible witness for incredibly serious matters as capital punishment and excommunication: Deuteronomy 19:15, Numbers 35:30, Matthew 18:15-17.
Many witnesses of vaccine murder are parents who see their children go downhill and die soon after vaccination (even the very day of). And the wisdom of Solomon teaches us the reliability of parents due to the natural affection they have for their children (1 Kings 3:23-28).
It is useless to dismiss the countless testimonies under the pretext of “correlation is not causation.” God has given us an ability to make commonsense connections regarding temporal events — and if we won’t let countless testimonies of harm throughout vaccine history convince us, then we are really at war against God’s reality.
On that note, we have Christ in His earthly ministry healing people who knew to credit Christ for doing so. They did not need a committee of pharma-funded shills or corrupt science to think for them. They believed the obvious: cause and effect was right before them. Unlike “correlation is not causation” propagandists, they made an honest assessment of temporal events.
Back to vaccination. It should be clear, then, that this procedure violates the Sixth Commandment: “Thou shalt not kill” (Exodus 20:13, KJV)
This, by the way, refutes the idea that vaccination is in the category of Christian liberty as expressed in Romans 14 — for matters of liberty and matters of law are two distinct things. Your choice of eating meat (a matter of liberty) is obviously completely different from a choice to poison someone.
A further level of moral aggravation is torturing born children to death in order to obtain their organs for fetal cell lines to create certain vaccines. We should absolutely have nothing to do with such vaccines — but since all vaccines cause injuries and deaths (to adults and children alike), even those that are not created with fetal cell lines should be avoided.
There are, of course, levels of moral complicity. Is one completely clueless as to whether vaccines harm? Does one suspect it — but does not bother to research it further? Does one know vaccines harm but continues to promote vaccines or vaccinate others? Or does one actually push vaccines as a deliberate tool for harm?
Scripture says,
And that servant who knew his master’s will but did not get ready or act according to his will, will receive a severe beating. But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, will receive a light beating. Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more. (Luke 12:47, 48, ESV)
Vaccination is doing evil that good may come
Some might try to get around that vaccination violates the Sixth Commandment by arguing that vaccination is still preferable to non-vaccination due to a “costs versus benefits” ethic.
In such a mindset, viruses are more likely to harm a child than vaccines. Therefore, get the jab, hope you survive, and then you’ll have a degree of protection from viruses. Some will die — but it is an acceptable loss for “the greater good.” More will be saved than will be killed.
Even if we disregard such fallacious thinking that vaccination is efficacious, as well as the question of how a virus — even if it were more dangerous than vaccination (at least when someone actually catches the virus) — can be on net balance more dangerous when it is a mere potentiality versus the definite risk that comes from vaccination, vaccination is still not morally justifiable.
This is because the ends do not justify the means. Scripture says,
And why not do evil that good may come?—as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just. (Romans 3:8, ESV)
We cannot do evil that good may come; in the case of vaccination, we cannot harm ourselves or others in the name of preventing harm. As we previously have shown, vaccination unlawfully endangers and harms people and is therefore evil — a violation of the Sixth Commandment.
If you thought that a witch had the power to improve your health, would you employ her to cast a spell to achieve it? No Christian, I would hope, would say yes — and yet, vaccination is analagous to such a method.
In sum, we can say that vaccination is doing evil that good may come on two levels: the personal, where an individual’s health is harmed in the name of preventing possible future harm to his health; and the national, where the few are sacrificed to save the many (even though in reality vaccination is killing many to save none!).
Such a twisted ethic recalls the words from Isaiah:
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20, ESV)
What about possible dangers in necessary surgery?
But wait — are emergency medical procedures both unnatural processes and doing evil (putting you in danger) that good may come — both of which this piece condemns?
It is true that emergency procedures are often unnatural processes. For instance, heart surgery involves cutting one open and perhaps other unnatural processes.
But note: these are done to fix what is broken — they are not breaking what already works, as vaccination does. Legit surgical procedures attempt, as much as possible, to restore the body to God’s original design.
Necessary surgery is an attempt to offset as much as possible a less than ideal, or unnatural, situation. Vaccination, by contrast, deliberately brings about a less than ideal situation (blood poisoning and compromised health.)
Put another way, necessary surgery undergoes a potential danger to avoid an existing danger, while vaccination subjects one to an existing danger in the name of avoiding a potential danger. (The difference between jumping out of a second story window to avoid a fire and jumping out of a second story window [to never return to the house] in case a fire someday occurs.) Thus, necessary surgery and vaccination are actually opposite concepts.
And so, as we previously noted, vaccination is sinful, and we cannot sin in order to bring about good (i.e., disease immunity). Such moral pragmatism is like justifying theft to pay one’s bills, or murdering to appease an angry mob.
God is in sovereign control, and so the duty is ours; the results are God’s. As such, we should not vaccinate and, while disregarding God’s law, presumptuously assume God’s blessing in the matter.
Vaccination as presumption before God
Let us not forget Satan himself, in tempting Jesus in the wilderness, tries to persuade Him to commit a dangerous, presumptuous action before God. But Jesus rebukes Him for putting God to the test:
“Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, ‘If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written,
‘“He will command his angels concerning you,”
and
‘“On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.”’
Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” (Matthew 4:5-7, ESV)
Is this not the temptation of vaccination? The murderous vaccine propagandists, in order to get you to inject foreign substances in the body in the name of health, say, “Jump from this high place! You will be safe!” Is this not presumption before God — to seek health by playing roulette with a poisoned needle against God’s established laws of health?
Vaccination implies man can do better than God
Scripture says,
And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, ‘Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.’ (Mark 2:17, ESV)
Obviously a spiritual point is made about sinners (those who are sick) needing a Savior, Jesus Christ. But it assumes a physical truth that healthy people do not need a doctor (at least in terms of fixing something that has gone wrong in the body, e.g., an unbroken bone does not need to be fixed). Vaccination in particular assumes one’s bodily defenses against ill health (which God created) are broken until man can fix them with poison shots.
What is implied is that God’s design of the body (which actually opposes the process of vaccination) is at best severely defective, and at worst useless. In any case, man — according to this perverse view — can do better than God.
Understandably, many might call such a view blasphemous. Even when vaccinators don’t intend to, vaccination amounts to speaking against God, as it implies that God did not create an infant with sufficient bodily defenses, and thus it needs man’s help with poison injections. In short, it is complaining against God’s provision. An analogy would be the Israelites who complained against God’s provision in the wilderness, and wanted to return to the (poisonous) tyranny of Egypt.
Vaccination is irrational and does not count the cost
There are many who are willing acknowledge that vaccines can cause harm, and yet, still vaccinate out of fear of viruses. But this fails to count the cost (cf. Luke 14:28) — why would you run headlong into danger to prevent a danger that may never occur?
Such irrationality makes no sense. It lacks any semblance of proportionality. Why harm yourself to keep yourself from getting harmed? Would you shoot yourself in the chest to develop immunity from gun shots? Would you throw your child off of a cliff if you thought he would be impervious to danger if he survived?
Better not to fall into the hands of men
When David was faced with a choice between three judgments (three years of famine, three months of enemy attacks, or three days of pestilence), David chose pestilence, for this reason: “Let us fall into the hand of the LORD, for his mercy is great; but let me not fall into the hand of man.” (2 Samuel 24:14b, ESV).
What do we make of this pestilence? A contagion, or a non-contagious illness striking every victim directly from God’s hand? Whatever the case, David still prefers providential disease to the involvement of men.
And so even if I believed that what are today labelled as contagious diseases to be a threat, I would still have to come to terms with the fact that vaccination (administered by men) also is — and much more so. And so, with David, I would prefer to take my chances with contagious disease than with a poisoned needle — and therefore not fall into the hands of men.
Vaccination is based on lies
When it comes to vaccination and lies, we have two issues: (1) the fact that the vaccine narrative is based on lies, and (2) the need to seriously investigate whether this is the case.
It is obvious that lying is evil, and we all think that we take it seriously — but how seriously do we take the need to investigate whether something is a lie? Not all discoveries of lies land in our lap — it may require some work.
Concerning the truth of Scripture, the Bible says this of the Bereans:
Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. (Acts 17:11, ESV)
The Bereans did not blindly accept what they were told. They searched the Scriptures daily to see if what they were told was true. As such, they were more “noble” than certain others.
In addition to being truth seekers, we must likewise guard ourselves against deceivers :
Let everyone beware of his neighbor, and put no trust in any brother, for every brother is a deceiver, and every neighbor goes about as a slanderer. (Jeremiah 9:4, ESV)
Is it that different today than when it was written? Whatever the case, the principle remains: we are not to trust deceivers. When it comes to vaccination, it may cost us our health — and even our life.
And so the wise course of action is to not trust the deceived (to avoid being the blind following the blind) and outright liars who want you to inject poisons into your body, and the bodies of your children. It is best not to learn our lesson about vaccines until it is too late:
The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it. (Proverbs 27:12, ESV)
So, let’s look at some lies about vaccination — a sampling, but more than enough to show that we are dealing with deceivers who cannot be trusted — violators of the Ninth Commandment.
- Vaccination is not safe, but dangerous
Contrary to what we are told, vaccination is not safe. Whether the COVID shot, or vaccines in general, vaccination is deadly — and has always been so — hence Christian opposition to vaccination throughout vaccine history. Vaccines are obviously today a tool of depopulation, and in earlier vaccine history may have been so as well. - Vaccine dangers are deliberately concealed
Not only, as we see today, is the danger of vaccination covered up via online censorship, but has historically been covered up via falsifying death certificates. Moreover, false “conditions” are made up to cover for vaccine-caused deaths and injuries [SIDS, SADS, autism, etc.]) - Antibodies do not necessarily protect from illness (based on the vaccinators’ own narratives)
We are repeatedly told that vaccine-induced antibodies give one “protection” — but if so, then why are antibody narratives all over the map?- Naturally-acquired antibodies and vaccine induced antibodies are not the same.
- Injection with antibodies is insufficient to prevent disease
- HIV antibodies do not combat HIV
- Antibodies can, at least regarding some viruses, increase disease severity.
- Antibodies are “neither needed nor sufficient for protection” from neurotropic vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)
- There are those who can develop immunity to measles who are genetically unable to produce antibodies.
- The idea of viral contagion is unscientific
We can’t truly isolate viruses, we can’t prove viral contagion via testing, and there are other explanations for why people get sick (e.g., weather conditions) that they don’t want us to consider. - Data is constantly manipulated to make vaccines appear effective
For instance, with the smallpox vaccine, the polio vaccine, and the COVID vaccine.
If your child asks for a fish, would you give him a serpent?
Scripture says,
What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? (Luke 11: 11, 12, ESV)
The idea is that no normal, affectionate parents would deliberately give their children something that would harm them instead of something that would help them.
Vaccination — which parents commonly perform on their children — is analogous to both the sting of a scorpion and the bite of a venomous serpent, as it punctures the skin with dangerous poison. And in the case of vaccination, not just one poison — but a cocktail of poisons — dangerous in even “small” or “trace amounts.”
Parents who do this, of course, normally mean well — but the effect is nevertheless inescapable — vaccination is giving your child a serpent. Therefore it must be avoided at all costs.
Vaccination should be criminalized
That vaccination is a criminal act is seen in the moral accountablity for taking life in the Sixth Commandment: “You shall not murder.” (Exodus 20:13, ESV) In Genesis 9:6, we see that such should be punished by civil governments:
Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image. (ESV)
Even when taking life is unintentional (such as via vaccination), it still could be punishable when it is not due to malice, but criminal negligence. See Deuteronomy 22:8 and Exodus 21:22-25 and 28-30. Countless eyewitness testimonies throughout vaccine history tell us that vaccination regularly injures and kills, making it a criminally negligent act (if not outright intended murder by those at the top of the vaccine pyramid).
Is vaccination ever morally permissible?
What about those who want to be missionaries in countries that require vaccination for entry? Is vaccination sinful in this case — or could it actually be an example of loving one’s neighbor by risking one’s life (by a poisoned shot) to help others?
(This same question might also apply to those who want to join an occupation where they can help save lives, such as becoming a firefighter where vaccination is a condition of employment.)
In this, by the way, we are not implying it is okay to risk one’s life to take a worthless vaccine (which they all are) to prevent transmission of a fake or overhyped disease. We are simply discussing risking one’s life by taking a poison when forced to do so as a condition to engaging in an activity that is extremely beneficial to another (e.g., their spiritual or physical welfare).
And so back to missions in particular. If in fact getting vaccinated when required for missions work is morally lawful, it is a rare exception to the rule that vaccination is sinful — and should only be done as a last resort.
If you have a heart for missions, in countries that require vaccination for entrance, be sure to consider other options — such as funding missionaries already within the country that you would travel to. Also consider if it is morally lawful (per, for example, the actions of Rahab and the Hebrew Midwives) to get fake proof of vaccination, if the opportunity presents itself.
Maybe even, if possible, sneak into the country. True ministers of the Gospel have Christ’s authority to enter countries to fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) — and sometimes it has to be done without the consent of the government. (Sure beats vaccine suicide.)
Make sure you count the cost. Would you also engage in Russian Roulette to do missions work? Because taking a vaccine — depending on the lot — might be just as dangerous in the short-term, not to mention the long-term (e.g., cancer). If you die, you won’t be able to share the Gospel with anyone. No more missions.
If you have a family, you may leave them without a provider if the vaccine does serious harm. You might be sterilized. Moreover, who knows what deformities and mutations might occur in your offspring if you received a gene-altering shot, such as the COVID vaccine.
We need to continue the Great Commission — I am not suggesting we start minimizing it. But we need to, as much as possible, go the extra mile and figure out ways that don’t involve vaccine suicide. These are just things to prayerfully consider if you have a heart for missions. I’m encouraging caution — not quitting.
Concluding thoughts
Scripture describes an unclean spirit that has left a person, but then returns with “seven other spirits more evil than itself,” so that “the last state of that person is worse than the first” (Matthew 12:43-45, ESV). This is an example of one’s spiritual state, but let’s make this analagous with one’s health. One might think one is healthy after vaccination, but it could occur that sometime after vaccination — hours, days, weeks, or even years — one’s state of health is worse than the first (even to the point of death).
And we would expect this to be the case, since vaccination is an assault on God’s natural design. We reap what we sow.
The propagandists assure us that vaccines are safe, when in reality, they are a mass killer, as evidenced by countless witnesses throughout vaccine history. The propagandists also assure us that vaccines are effective, when in reality they are not, as evidenced by ongoing data manipulation in vaccine history. That is not even to mention the great difficulty of proving viral contagion exists, making vaccination a moot point.
Vaccination is not based on a biblical ethic, but a godless ethic that says that the ends justify the means — and with a such an ethic, there are no limits to what evils can be justified. Just as it is a sin to presumptively jump from a dangerous height, so it is to play roulette by vaccinating.
It is better to fall into the hands of God than the vaccinators. The deed is irreverent towards God (implying his design of the body is at best defective), irrational, and does not count the cost.
It is based on lies, and being outright dangerous, beyond useless. We should no more vaccinate our children than give them a venomous serpent. Blood-poisoning should be criminalized, not encouraged.
The only possible moral permissibility of vaccination I can think of is when it is mandatory to engage in an activity in order to fulfill a life- or soul-saving service (e.g., firefighter or missionary). But such should be a last resort — and we must weigh this with other moral obligations, such as living to be able to provide for a family.
For many, actually, vaccination is idolatry — an “all-powerful,” “infallible” cure of disease that requires absolute allegiance. We cannot question the vaccine priesthood (vaccine-pushing medical doctors and vaccine scientists) — and we must be willing to sacrifice our own children to vaccination “for the greater good.”
In the end, vaccination is a twisted ethic that calls evil good and good evil, and is just a repackaging of the Satanic lie from the Serpent in the Garden of Eden: “Ye shall not surely die”. As Christians, then, we must discern deadly Satanic fictions. We must beware of a “spirit of fear” (cf. 2 Timothy 1:7) where we flee when none is in pursuit (cf. Leviticus 26:17) — in the case of vaccination, a mindset that drives us and our children into poisoned needles.
Such actions have been a tool of Satan for centuries to plague the church with sickness and death — handicapping its work.
But all of this is to say that, in sum, let us simply trust in Jesus and live for Him — not trust in, and die for, vaccination.
