Why I Was Vaccinated (Metropolitan Hierotheos of Nafpaktos)

 
 
Why I Was Vaccinated
 
By Metropolitan Hierotheos of Nafpaktos and Agiou Vlasiou
 
I am one of the first in Greece to get the new vaccine and with this text I wanted to express some of my thoughts that led me to this.

1. The Pandemic as War

For about a year we have been suffering from the new coronavirus (sars-cov2) which causes covid-19 disease, and has created many problems in the Church, society and the family. The economic, psychological and, above all, the social consequences are great and no one can number and surpass them.

During the first period of the pandemic, when I was a representative of the Church, I was given the opportunity to see all the issues related to the new virus, and the effects it has on people, society and the Church.
