STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- A key component of the campaign to entice people into taking the experimental COVID shots has been to enlist “trusted messengers,” from social media influencers and celebrities to medical doctors and faith leaders. The U.S. government has established formal collaborations with faith-based organizations for the sole purpose of pushing the government’s narrative
- According to Walmart, many of the company’s most successful vaccination clinics have been held after Sunday services. Facebook ads in which faith leaders promoted the COVID jabs also outperformed other “trusted messengers,” including health care providers
- Evangelical pastors, theologians and seminary heads across the U.S. followed the lead of Dr. Francis Collins, a self-proclaimed Christian and the former head of the National Institutes of Health, who leveraged his relationships with church leaders to convince Christians that submitting to lockdowns and COVID jab mandates was a matter of obedience to God
- A number of faith leaders have insisted that Jesus himself would get the jab, were he here today. But not once did Jesus advise people to rely on the tools — or word — of man. Instead, he warned of a future time when even the elect will fall prey to a grand deception
- Hindsight, scientific evidence and statistical data allow us to conclude that many faith leaders led their flocks astray. The COVID shot does not protect you from infection and death, nor does it protect anyone else. It was all a lie, and excess death rates skyrocketed after the rollout of the COVID shots
The video1 above is a short teaser from “Plandemic 3,” the third documentary film about the COVID scamdemic from filmmaker Mikki Willis. It shows just how widespread the advertising of the COVID shots were.
Entertainment industries across the world were enlisted to sing and dance about the wonder of vaccines, and how the COVID shot would end lockdowns, give us back our freedom and save the world. The constant message was “Just get the shot!”
As noted in the film, 46% of all vaccine injuries in the last three decades have occurred in the past two years,2 following the rollout of these experimental gene therapies, and deaths from the COVID jabs now surpass deaths from COVID-19 itself.
That’s the end result of this mass indoctrination campaign. Not improved public health. Not freedom. And even though a majority of the populations across the globe have received the shot, the pandemic STILL has not been declared “over.”
Trusted Messengers
A key component of the campaign to entice people into taking these experimental bioweapons has been to enlist “trusted messengers,”3,4,5 from social media influencers and celebrities to medical doctors and faith leaders.
Even former U.S. presidents preached the gospel of the COVID jabs, as seen in the video above. In it, they repeat the Big Lie — that the shots will prevent infection and spread, thereby putting an end to the pandemic. But the enlistment of faith leaders has perhaps been one of the most effective, yet egregious, ways to get shots into arms.
As reported by the Daily Wire,6 evangelical pastors, theologians and seminary heads across the U.S. followed the lead of Dr. Francis Collins, a self-proclaimed Christian and the former head of the National Institutes of Health, who “leveraged his relationships with church leaders like ‘The Purpose Driven Life’ author Rick Warren and apologist Tim Keller to convince Christians across the nation that submitting to lockdowns and mandates was a matter of obedience to God.”
Christianity Today theologian Russell Moore and Ed Stetzer, director of the Billy Graham Center — both personal friends of Collins — “argued that Christians had a responsibility to tamp down on ‘conspiracy theories’ like the notion that the virus leaked from a Wuhan lab or that masks were ineffective,” Daily Wire writes.
Former NIH Director Pushed the Big Lie to Christians
Collins’ messaging was in part distributed via BioLogos, an organization founded by Collins in 2007 “to create bridges between scientists and Christians.” In late August 2020, BioLogos distributed a public statement titled “Love Your Neighbor, Get the Shot.”7
The statement was signed by a long list of well-known Christian leaders, including theologian N.T. Wright, Christian authors Philip Yancey and Lisa Sharon Harper, Veggie Tales creator Phil Vischer, Christianity Today CEO Timothy Dalrymple and several seminary presidents.
All vowed to “actively promote accurate scientific and public health information from trustworthy, consensus sources,” and to counter “misinformation” and “conspiracy theories.” Messaging included statements such as:8
“Mask rules are not experts taking away our freedom, but an opportunity to follow Jesus’ command to love our neighbors as ourselves (Luke 6:31),” and “Get vaccinated” because “Vaccination is a provision from God.”
March 16, 2021, Collins, Dr. Anthony Fauci and the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities director Dr. Eliseo Pérez-Stable and White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships executive director Melissa Rogers also joined faith leaders at the Washington National Cathedral to promote the COVID jab and “inspire confidence in the coronavirus vaccines.”9,10
Attending clergy included Presbyterian, Episcopal, Methodist, African Methodist Episcopal, Baptist and non-denominational Christians, as well Jewish and Islamic denominations. At the end, more than two dozen of these faith leaders lined up to get the shot, right then and there, on camera, “as examples for their worship communities.”
Faith Leaders Beguiled by False Teachings
Even Pope Francis went on record urging people to get the shot — and to encourage others to get it — calling it “an act of love”11 and “an ethical option because it concerns your life but also that of others.”12
Curiously, the Vatican went so far as to say “It is morally acceptable to receive COVID-19 vaccines that have used cell lines from aborted fetuses” provided there are no other alternatives, and provided it “does not constitute formal cooperation with … abortion …”13
According to Vatican News,14 Pope Francis’ announcement was made in collaboration with the Ad Council, which has led “a massive communications effort to educate the American public and build confidence around the COVID-19 vaccines,” and whose stated goal “is to shift the public mindset from vaccine concern to vaccine confidence.”15
The Ad Council also produced the presidential COVID jab ad above. It has toolkits with “message guidance” and “language do’s and don’ts” for a wide variety of communities, including Black, Hispanic, rural and faith communities.16

The Ad Council’s toolkit for faith communities include prewritten sermons, preselected Bible quotes, Sunday school curricula on “making wise decisions” and a “parents conversation guide.”17 Care USA18 and The U.S. government’s own COVID-19 public education campaign called “We Can Do This” also provides materials aimed directly at faith-based leaders.19
What Would Jesus Actually Do?
A number of faith leaders, including evangelist Franklin Graham,20 Rev. Jane Willan21 and Canterbury Archbishop Justin Welby,22 have insisted that Jesus himself would get the jab, were he here today.
It’s an odd conclusion, considering Jesus depended solely on God for his ability to heal people of everything from chronic bleeding and leprosy to death itself. Not once does Jesus advise people to rely on the tools and schemes — or word — of man. Instead, he warns of a future time when even the elect will fall prey to a grand deception.
How do we know all these faith leaders led their flocks astray? Hindsight. Some, like minister Tony Hopkins, valiantly tried to make a case for Jesus as a vaccine peddler:23
“The more theological among us might center the discussion on Jesus’ divine nature: given his ability to heal any disease, he wouldn’t need the vaccine.
The point is well made, but isn’t there a striking parallel with Jesus’ baptism? For the rest of us, baptism is about repentance. Jesus did not sin and therefore did not need to repent, yet he chose to be baptized as an example for us …
The apostle Paul summarizes Jesus’ teachings on selflessness with remarkable brevity in Philippians 2:4: ‘Let each of you look not to your own interests but to the interests of others.’ Vaccination actually does both, show thoughtfulness toward others while also protecting the vaccine recipient!”
Alas, therein lies the rub. The COVID shot does not protect you from infection and death, nor does it protect anyone else. It was a lie, and excess death rates skyrocketed after the rollout of the COVID shots.
That’s how we can unequivocally say that faith leaders around the world have utterly failed in their duty to the flocks they shepherd — and in their interpretation of the Bible. And why? Because they believed the lies of people who’ve made careers out of lying — which, by the way, is a hallmark of Satan himself, according to the Bible.
Hindsight Proves Who Was Right and Who Was Wrong
Pfizer is one of the leading criminal corporations in the world,24 yet this is whom faith leaders chose to place their trust in. Jesus specifically stated that “by their fruits shall ye know them,” good or bad, yet faith leaders completely overlooked the drug industry’s checkered past, placing the lives of their followers into their untrustworthy hands. They also overlooked the role of the military-industrial complex in the development of these shots.
In his 2010 paper,25 “Tough on Crime? Pfizer and the CIHR,” Robert G. Evans, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor at Vancouver School of Economics, described Pfizer as “a ‘habitual offender,’ persistently engaging in illegal and corrupt marketing practices, bribing physicians and suppressing adverse trial results.” Between 2002 and 2010 alone, Pfizer and its subsidiaries were fined $3 billion in criminal convictions, civil penalties and jury awards.
In 2011, Pfizer agreed to pay another $14.5 million to settle federal charges of illegal marketing,26 and in 2014 they settled federal charges relating to improper marketing of the kidney transplant drug Rapamune to the tune of $35 million.27
They also had a $75 million judgment to settle charges relating to their unethical testing of a new broad spectrum antibiotic on critically ill Nigerian children. That same year, Pfizer also faced thousands of lawsuits accusing it of hiding known side effects of its anticholesterol drug Lipitor.28
The Biggest Crime in History
As for the COVID shots, we have whistleblowers showing how they falsified trial data. Pfizer’s own documents also reveal they mislabeled almost all side effects that occurred during its Phase 3 trials and that deaths and serious adverse events actually numbered in the tens of thousands.
Mounting evidence also shows the COVID shots destroy immune function over time and actually make you more susceptible to COVID, other infections and chronic illness.
The clincher, of course — which demolishes the “love your neighbor” argument once and for all — is unequivocal proof that the shots do not prevent infection or transmission. In fact, the shots were never tested to determine if they could do either, yet we were told that they would. It was all a lie.
Many of us saw through the narrative right from the start and tried to warn people. We were silenced and written off as a bunch of looney-tune conspiracy theorists, but the fact of the matter is that anyone with half their normal allotment of critical thinking skills could have investigated the claims about the COVID shots and come to the same conclusions we did.
Instead, most were effectively brainwashed by ultrasophisticated brainwashing from the mainstream and social media and ignored the warning signs and swallowed the lies of known deceivers whole. And while faith leaders aren’t the only ones guilty of this, their role in pushing the false narrative has been significant.
According to Amy Hill, senior director for public affairs for Walmart, many of the company’s most successful vaccination clinics have been held after Sunday services.29 Care USA has also reported that Facebook ads in which faith leaders promoted the COVID jabs outperformed other “trusted messengers,” including health care providers.30
Breaking Rather Than Building Bonds of Trust
During a May 2021 Faiths 4 Vaccines online summit, White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships executive director Melissa Rogers read a letter from President Joe Biden to the clergy helping get shots into arms:31
“You are not only saving lives; you are building lasting bonds of trust. With your partnership and dedication, we will beat this virus, save lives and build back better from the COVID-19 pandemic.”
In reality, COVID jab-pushing clergy have contributed to hundreds of thousands of serious injuries and deaths,32 so rather than build trust, they’ve broken it. As it turns out, the blind have been leading the blind straight into a ditch.
Nothing New Under the Sun
The fact that government will team up with faith-based organizations to ensure its agenda won’t meet with resistance behind the pulpit is nothing new. While the modern-day idea of faith-based organizations teaming up with government started with Jimmy Carter, the collaboration between government and churches to give vaccines began under Barack Obama during the 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic.33,34,35
In March 2019, the American Journal of Public Health published an article36 detailing the history of faith-based collaborations to increase uptake of influenza vaccines:
“The Partnership Center and IHP [Interfaith Health Program at Emory University] created the partnership, ‘Faith-Based and Public Health Partnerships: Strengthening Community Networks,’ (referred to as ‘the Influenza Initiative’), which was supported by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The goal of the Influenza Initiative was to quickly mobilize existing local faith and health collaboratives to bring 2009 H1N1 prevention services to priority populations. In the partnership’s second year, the focus shifted to seasonal influenza, and the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) became a new national partner.
Together, the Interfaith Health Program (IHP) and ASTHO [Association of State and Territorial Health Officials] formed a unique multilevel, multidirectional 6-year partnership to align and leverage the strengths of the faith community with those of public health organizations to address influenza prevention and health disparities.”
So, in closing, it’s important to realize that many churches are actively collaborating with government on health programs that may or may not be in your best interest. And the fact that your faith leader is promoting a health intervention such as the COVID shot does not mean he or she has actually researched the issue before coming to a conclusion. In many if not most cases, they’re simply parroting the narrative they’ve been brainwashed to promote.
It’s also possible that faith-based organizations are given financial incentives to collaborate with federal health authorities, although I have no evidence of this at the moment. Either way, when it comes to COVID-19, this collaborative effort to promote a one-sided message has had devastating consequences, as faith leaders around the U.S. have led their flocks to proverbial slaughter.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that fiat currencies across the globe, including the U.S. Dollar, are under attack. Paper money is losing its value, translating into insane inflation and less value in our life’s savings.
Genesis Gold Group believes physical precious metals are an amazing option for those seeking to move their wealth or retirement to higher ground. Whether Central Bank Digital Currencies replace current fiat currencies or not, precious metals are poised to retain or even increase in value. This is why central banks and mega-asset managers like BlackRock are moving much of their holdings to precious metals.
As a Christian company, Genesis Gold Group has maintained a perfect 5 out of 5 rating with the Better Business Bureau. Their faith-driven values allow them to help Americans protect their life’s savings without the gimmicks used by most precious metals companies. Reach out to them today to see how they can streamline the rollover or transfer of your current and previous retirement accounts.
They have to say what they are told to say. It is all about the money. As the O’Jays sing, written by Gamble and Huff, “For The Love of Money” people will sell their sole.
“Trusted Messengers”, LOL. Discredited non-expert authority figures known for spreading lies to further their own finances or personal/political agenda. Even if it kills people. Fortunately, most sane Americans are pretty skeptical of “religious leaders”, televangelists and has-been politicians.
Rick Warren has always been a sellout. He took millions of dollars from Saudi Arabia to preach join the interfaith alliance, promoting a One Abrahamic Religion, and preaching the lie that Christianity and Islam are the same.
The three clowns above are reason enough to not trust the Gates/Fauci/CCP genocide injection.
Sorry there are no leaders of faith advocating for vaccines. There are false prophets that people buy into that were mentioned but there was no actual mention of even one actual leader of faith.
Ny Gov Hochul said “… come up with a vaccine. That is from God to us and we must say, thank you, God…But you know there’s people out there who aren’t listening to God. … I need you to be my apostles”
WH Covid Chief Dr Jha: “I really believe this is why God gave us two arms — one for the flu shot and the other one for the COVID shot.”
Joel Olsteen Easter Sunday 2021: repeated refrains of “take the anti venom”
I think you are too kind about the intentions of the pastors. They may have been ignorant of the actual harm of the shot, but their motivations were not rooted in Christ, more like $$$ and political and social pull. There was an article on Zerohedge or Gateway Pundit or a similar level website in Nov or Dec 2020 that said the clinical trials or the FDA or EMA approval submissions had admitted that the shots did not stop infection or transmission. In 2020! In a widely read online publication! I wish I had saved the info and bookpaged the site so I could be more precise – but the info was available for even a non science nobody, low education person like me.
The vaccine doesn’t prevent you from getting Covid, or from getting it again, or from transmitting it to others, but does have the risk of serious, lasting injuries and sudden death. Tell us again why we’re supposed to be getting it and why so many are pushing so hard to get the jab into our arms?
Christians are warned to test every spirit – because not every spirit comes from God.
Christians are to search the Scriptures, because false teachers and false prophets abound, but the Word of God is right and true.
Christians know that God’s Word is always true, and that science which agrees with God’s word is also true, if the science denies God’s Word or is in opposition to it, then the science is wrong.
BioLogos is one of the purveyors of false teaching and wrong science** that deceives many because
– it was started by a “Christian” and so is considered “safe”
– it purports to “bridge” the word of God with science
Christians can only protect themselves from deception by these people and groups and “leaders” by comparing everything to the Word of God. Eisegetical teachings from “faith leaders” (e.g. “if Jesus were here he’d get the vaccine” or “He’d tell people to get the vaccine as a selfless act, thinking of others” etc.) are a BIG RED flag that you don’t want to listen to them. Probably on ANYTHING if they are so easily deceived themselves and then leading others in deception as well (2 Tim 3:13)
** BioLogos is a supposedly “Christian” organization that denies the word of God and replaces it with wrong (false) science. e.g.
– The Bible is clear that God created the various forms of life as unique kinds (think “dogs, cats, lizards, ants, etc. etc.) and that reproduction within the kinds keeps them separated and unique (Gen 1:24) and that characteristics are passed down from progenitor to progeny with various combinations that produce differences in size, color, shape, etc. (think “breeds” in animals and various traits in humans: Gen 27:11, Gen 30-31) and that we can even SELECTIVELY BREED if desired. But it is clear that with all the variations and all the traits there is no going beyond the “kinds”. Yet BioLogos teaches that “goo to you by way of the zoo” is how God created life and that all life and all life features – even those with “apparent irreproducible complexity, like the eye or ear” – are evolved from simple to more complex.
– To “fix” the problem of God’s account of man’s specific creation and the BioLogos account of man, eventual, by evolution, from lesser organisms BioLogos re-interprets God’s Word as needed and where convenient to push their own narrative. The Bible says God created the FIRST MAN, Adam, from the dust of the earth and that from him and Eve (the first woman formed from part of the man) the two produced all humans on the earth. BioLogos says man evolved over time, so the story of Adam can’t be about the first MAN, but about the first KING; not about the beginning of humanity but about the beginning of kingship that culminates in Christ.
BioLogos is the result of a man whose God was science; who saw that science could not explain what he was seeing when he looked into the complexity of DNA; and who came face to face with the hand of the Creator by looking at the creation. His response? To admit that God existed. But he could not accept God as God (omnipotent and sovereign and true) but had to box Him up (so to speak) to explain God in terms of what he thought he already knew. Instead of letting God be true, and requiring that man adjust his thinking to match God’s (repentance) he brought God down to man’s level saying “we have you figured out now” and while claiming to hold that the Scripture is inerrant in the truths it wants to convey, the technicalities of those truths is to be considered just part of the way the human authors said it. (Leaving Collins, and us, free to interpret the word of God as we need to fit what we think we know about the fallen world around us as seen through our fallen eyes, with broken instrumentation, and interpreted with fallen minds.)
Too many professing Christians have put their trust in a mere man that they admire, rather than seeking understanding of the Word of God. Call no man “father” is a warning to not be so devoted to a man that you don’t check him. When the government spends so much effort trying to convince us to do something, we should be very suspicious.
The closest thing to a true atheist is a corrupt member of the clergy.
After all, they’re betting on it
Rev. 18:23 “ Your merchants were the world’s great men, and by their (I n Greek pharmacia ) all the nations were lead astray.”
Need l say more?!
There is a lot of CRAP that the “churches” push. Let’s make a list.
1: JUDEO-Christianity. There is NO SUCH THING as “Judeo-Christianity”. Judaism is as far from Christianity as oil is from water. Jews admit this. Why have we allowed ourselves to be brainwashed thusly?
2: Jesus being Jewish. For the record, JESUS WAS NOT JEWISH.
3: Jews are the “chosen people”. Completely wrong. Jews are HATED by God. He commanded us to DESTROY them in Deuteronomy 20:17.
4: That only 8 people survived the “Noah flood”. Sorry, folks, once again, completely WRONG. 8 people DESCENDED FROM ADAM survived the Noah flood, which was a LOCAL EVENT, not a GLOBAL EVENT.
5: That all people on Earth descended from Adam. WRONG. THERE WERE PEOPLE ON EARTH BEFORE ADAM. Otherwise, when Cain was cast from the garden for murdering his HALF BROTHER ABEL, why was he crying about “everyone who sees me will try to kill me”? Everyone WHO??? Hmmm… So, folks, Asians, blacks, Jews, none of these people are descended from Adam. White western Europeans are descended from Adam. And that’s ALL.
If you’re not yet aware that Jews have corrupted and co-opted our scripture, it might be time to do a little research. If you’re not yet aware that Jews control big pharma and the bio weapons known as “vaccines” (yes, ALL vaccines), it might be time to do a little research. If you’re not yet aware that Jews control the media (yes, pretty much ALL of it), if you’re not yet aware that Jews control our SCHOOLS, if you’re not yet aware that Jews control our GOVERNMENT, if you’re not yet aware that Jews control our MONEY, it might be time to do a little research.
And before any silly little nothings try to claim otherwise, this is NOT ANTI-SEMITISM, because JEWS ARE NOT SEMITIC. WHITE PEOPLE (which I am a proud member) ARE SEMITIC. Therefore, I CAN NOT BE ANTI-SEMITIC. I am ANTI-JEW, for as Jesus said in John 8:44, THEY ARE OF THEIR FATHER THE DEVIL, and I am resolutely AGAINST THE DEVIL.
I am a pastor and I saw through the farce very early on. I never spoke about the jab, and when asked I shared my suspicion about of.. God help us.
Hopefully, you tell your flock that the Jew is the ENEMY and not the FRIEND.
What exactly is a ‘faith’ leader and a ‘faith-based’ religion? Is it a ‘church thing’ or is it a scriptural title?
I exposed out a particular “faith leader” who was shilling for the (not) vax in a manipulative way in this post a while back for The Q-Tree blog. Some superb researchers on the site added some great info within the discussion there too.
https://www.theqtree.com/2021/10/25/sheep-to-the-slaughter/
Thanks so much for publishing this Excellent Piece, for the deep research, & the documentation you provided to back up so much of what you shared. Great Work!!!
It’s the 501C’s, it’s all about the money for these APOSTATE wolves in sheep’s clothing leading their flocks to the pits of hell.
