Archbishop Justin Welby Criticises the Unvaccinated for Going Against ‘Love Thy Neighbour’
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has said that those who refuse to take the Covid vaccine are opposing the Christian principle of ‘love thy neighbour’. Welby cited the alleged benefits of immunisation, such as reducing “my chances of infecting others”, and declared that “now obviously there are some people who, for health reasons, can’t be vaccinated – different question – but it’s not about me and my rights to choose”. MailOnline has more.
The Archbishop of Canterbury has said being vaccinated against Covid is a moral issue.
The Most Reverend Justin Welby said that getting the jab reduces the chances of illness being spread and that “it’s not about me and my rights to choose – it’s about how I love my neighbour”.
His comments come as Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that people could go ahead with their Christmas plans but there is “continuing uncertainty” about the severity of the fast-spreading Omicron variant and hospital admission rates.
Asked during an interview with ITV News At Ten if being vaccinated is a “moral issue”, the Archbishop said: “I’m going to step out on thin ice here and say, yes, I think it is.”
He added: “A lot of people won’t like that, but I think it is because it’s not about me and my rights.
“Now obviously there are some people who, for health reasons, can’t be vaccinated – different question – but it’s not about me and my rights to choose.
“It’s about how I love my neighbour. Vaccination reduces my chances – doesn’t eliminate – but it reduces my chances of getting ill and reducing my chances of getting ill reduces my chances of infecting others. It’s very simple.
“So I would say yes, to love one another – as Jesus said – get vaccinated, get boosted.”
On whether it would be immoral not to get the jab when you are in a position to have it, Welby said: “I understand why people don’t.”
He added: “But I would say, go and get boosted, get vaccinated. It’s how we love our neighbour. Loving our neighbour is what Jesus told us to do. It’s Christmas: do what he said.”
Figures from NHS England show that 1,904 people were in hospital in London with Covid as of December 21st, the highest number since March 2nd and up 41% from a week earlier.
Across England, 6,902 patients were in hospital with Covid on December 21st – the highest number since November 10th and up 7% week-on-week.

He’s not my neighbour, he can fuck off.
To be fair, though, if he was your neighbour you’d tell him to fuck off anyway.
And maybe challenge him to a “square go” next time you were pissed. (Or you could just cut out the middle man and pretend to be pissed).
I remember prior to 2020 all my neighbours were extremely worried about my health, property and well-being. NOT! Yes I’m immoral. Although I think not a tiny bit more than any politician in Europe.
He used to be a businessman: just what liability does he have when they go wrong?
Fair point, well made.
Is he seriously wearing 2 masks in that photo??
He really does look lunatic, doesn’t he, with the fish hat and his wife’s spotted hankie.
Don’t you have to be lunatic to do the job he’s doing in the face of all the empirical evidence that JC, climate change and Wuflu problems don’t exist ?? I don’t mind anyone having wacky beliefs, that’s their problem. But just don’t try to ram their fruitcake ideas down my throat as if they are facts
I like the embroidery on the hat…
Given that many Christians object to vaccines derived from foetal cell lines (which includes Pfizer, Moderna and to an even greater extent, AstraZeneca), you’d think he’d take a more nuanced view.
Head of the neither hot nor cold I will spew thee out of my mouth church.
The remaining Christians in the remaining few churches with Christian vicars have to break away.
I am told by a friend that the Chester dicese will sack any vicar transgessing any of the Covid rules and shut down the church. They are apparently looking for excuses to shut down churches that ar not achieving their 10% tithe of the income estimated to be the norm for their area.
Particularly tough on the local church when the income was assessed on the basis of the largely expensive local houses, but uses up to date population figures which include several massive mid-range housing estates.
So on a cost benefit analysis, which the new church management do, they are no longer profitable.
The end of Christianity in Britain.
Does the Church of England have some kind of deal with Pfizer & pals?
Let’s all worship The Money!
“The Pfizer and the Moderna and the Holy Vaccine”
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/authors/justin-welby
The irony is that often the centralisation by dioceses which decided glebe land was better dealt with by the diocese, has meant those same churches having lost their income are now expected to pay their way, and pay for burgeoning numbers of central officers, no matter how historically unfair that is.
Meanwhile the church commissioners sit on a pot which admittedly pays clergy pensions, but is also either squirreled away over and above what is reasonable, or squandered on favourites. e.g. trendy and ephemeral pet projects run by people in ‘cool’ jeans and trainers who do church-lite without all that pesky doctrinal or ‘difficult’ stuff.
There are still Anglican churches which have 2 readings from Scripture, say the creed, and preach the gospel. In order that they ‘hold the line’ it is necessary to support them, because these days many want, effectively, to sing:
“Crown it with many crowns,
The virus on the throne,
Hark how the dismal anthem drowns
All sound except its own.”
For many that is utterly unacceptable, and we want the right words, not this idolisation of ‘the science’, extreme hypochondria, and rank fear of death (which used to be considered sins.)
For many of us Anglicans there is no other church to go to, and this, in its best manifestations, most adheres to what we believe.
Or be part of an Independent Fellowship as we are.
Best place to be.
What, an archbishp actually thinking before opening gob? Never.
As a Christian, my main objection to these jabs is that they’re gene therapy. They force your cells to create a non-human protein in the human body. You’d think Christians would be a bit more wise to that than this!
Last time God decided to wipe out the whole of humanity in Genesis 6:4 was when they went down the road of mating with non-humans, corrupting and compromising their divine humanity and God’s creation.
Whether as a Christian you believe that God created humans 6000 years ago or whether you believe in a continuously guided process of evolution, we can say with certainty that at each stage of creation/evolutionary development our genes dictated what proteins were created in our bodies. We did not have genetic modification from external sources. And looking at the vision they now have for “genetic medicine” and mRNA being the “software of life” that they are going to create their own “operating system” for (see Moderna’s website for example), I think we’ve started down a slippery slope towards the abomination of transhumanism under the guise of a vaccine. That this snake calls it “loving your neighbour” should get him sent to the darkest pit of hell.
I very much doubt that Welby sees the Old Testament as revelation. Or the New, actually.
Maybe not, but I can’t imagine anything more blasphemous than coercing people to turn over control of their genome, to (metaphorically speaking) install an “operating system” over their existing God-given operating system. Then turning Christians against one another to make it happen under the authority of scripture.
He disgusts me.
Sounds mighty like a mark of the beast.
The nephilim and tartarus?
Exactly.
My objection as a Christian is the multitude of outright lies being told by Govt, and NOT challenged by the churches (inc. Welby) but instead lapping them up.
It should be clear to him that it’s something that Christians can legitimately come to different decisions on for themselves. To say that you’re immoral and going against Jesus’ command to love one another if you don’t reach the same personal decision as him – that’s pushing people in the direction of doing something they believe to be wrong. Paul talks about that in 1 Corinthians 8: 4 Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that “an idol has no real existence,” and that “there is no God but one.” 5 For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”— 6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist. 7 However, not all possess this knowledge. But some, through former association with idols, eat food as really offered to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8 Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do. 9 But take care that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling… Read more »
And if the Archbishop doesn’t think Christians can genuinely (whether they’re right or wrong) have moral objections, he should listen to this:
https://irreverend.buzzsprout.com/1303861/9234563-podcast-extra-abortion-and-the-covid-19-vaccines-w-dave-brennan-of-brephos
And doing no more than using Jesus in the process. The lowest of the low in terms of an argument.
I would imagine that God would want me to use my God given intelligence to read widely, think hard and then make the best decision for myself based on my own individual circumstances.
Oh, but he’s ever so nuanced! (as in failing to distinguish between good and evil).
Church of marx doesn’t care about any of that…
He’s a “modernist”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUSTKisEgTo
This archbishop in the USA does not agree with his fellow archbishop.
The U.S. archbishop is in the minority in the religion/faith community, I would say.
We should have faith in Fauci.

Yes… you’d think that… except maybe he’s found a more interesting hobby than the Church.

So, the double-masked, simple, rich, communist is talking about love thy neighbour? Just to remind him – they are not vaccines, they are not safe, and they are about as useful as masks!
They’re about as useful as he is!
And he thinks they stop transmission!🤦
He it will hopefully stop him stop giving bad advice in the future.
Indeed. Welby is a clueless atheistic globalist puppet.
Welby is a cunt
Him and Pope Idiot
It’s a sign of the times that the Archbishop of Canterbury appears not to be a Christian and the Pope appears not to be a Catholic.
When I see bears being treated for constipation I will know these are the End Times.
RAD, Thanks for a good laugh – much needed.
Pope Belgrano
That may be so, but I bet he’s a rich cunt. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/authors/justin-welby
What a w*nker he is! Double-masked in that photo – maybe he’d find a third mask even more effective?
FO Welby!
He needs a bucket over the head.
Looks like he’s already got one.
I don’t remember Jesus saying “Thou shall dress like a glam rock storm trooper”.
There’s one on his head, but you right it needs to be pushed downwards and very hard.
This man by his words and actions is not a Christian and in fact is in his position to deliberately destabilise the Church and demoralise actual Christians.
Change my mind.
And Archbishop Vigano makes the same point about the state of Christianity and the Catholic Church.
Welby and the Pope are both Davos Monkeys.
He also believes in the ‘climate change’ religion despite the total lack of actual evidence, and the severe harms to people the net-zero policies will do.
Well, as the church doesn’t seem to think f*cking choir boys is a “moral issue”, I’ll look elsewhere for guidance on what it means to ‘love thy neighbour’!
The choir boy is the neighbour though!
Seems to be a very coordinated campaign of demonisation going on at the moment.
Yep, getting a touch frightening.
Next up we’ll have ‘priests’ sacrificing ‘The Unvaccinated’ upon the altars of CofE churches. A dagger through the heart and the blood handed round in the chalice.
Camps are looming
Remember that the CofE is an integral part of the establishment, with 26 seats in the House of Lords. Very few countries have an established religion with official presence in government like this (is Iran the onl yother one?). As the CofE’s membership continually declines this becomes ever-more intolerable, but the government have no interest in doing what ought to be done – disestablishing the CofE and kicking the bishops out of the HoL – as it’s not seen as a vote-winner. Most people underestimate the CofE’s political influence, and wrongly regard it as a well-meaning organisation (when in reality it is simply self-serving and will put the boot in to anyone if it suits its purpose to do so).
By backing up the government over this, Welby is reinfocing the CofE’s position of influence.
“I understand why people don’t.”
You could try reading some stats on risk vs benefits of the vax instead of parroting the party line
A disgrace in the past, and more so now. He’s about as amoral as Johnson and his crew of medicos, politicos and other trash. Also a remarkably stupid man, whose main achievements are expediting the destruction of the C of E, and closing their churches to the faithful.
Well, the core part of his argument is this bit: “Vaccination reduces my chances – doesn’t eliminate – but it reduces my chances of getting ill and reducing my chances of getting ill reduces my chances of infecting others. It’s very simple.”
It reduces your chance of a severe outcome from the illness but does it actually reduce your chance of getting ill, at all?
Does a reduced chance of getting ill then mean you reduce the chance of infecting others?
How do they prove any of that, what you would have had if you haven’t had it
Exactly so.
makes you same infectious but less symptoms apparently
ie vaxxed are superspreaders
No these injections do not inoculate you agaist anything. They turn the cells of the body – in the organs brain heart and bone marrow and blood vessels – all over – into a factiory of a toxic synthetic protein found nowhere in nature via injection of a genetic code which was designed in a computer. Oh and nanotech has been found in the vials all over the world by multiple credible sources. Oh and the blood of all the jabbed looks like a complete mess and the chances are their genetically reset immune systems wont last the distance. These jabs are The Mark Of The Beast. That this piece of shit lowlife scumbag agent of The Devil is recommending The Mark Of The Beast is all you need to know about the current state of The Church.

It *might* reduce chances of a severe outcome – that is becoming less and less clear and it might well go the same way as earlier claims of reducing transmission.
If vaccination increases the chance that you’ll be walking around and not even know you have it, while still having the same viral load as somebody who is lying in bed away from others, doesn’t that increase the likelihood you’ll spread it?
Covid vaccination is Big Pharma’s way of creating superspreaders.
I have this horrible suspicion that he has never heard of either immune escape or antibody dependent enhancement. As for hoping he understands the conjuring trick being played with cycle thresholds, or even the multiplier between each one, I wouldn’t think so. I also doubt that he knows how the PCR test works.
Nor will he have heard what Robert Malone, inventor of gene therapy said, i.e. that this is the “first time in history that the ineffectiveness of a medicine is being blamed on those who haven’t taken it.”
Does he really believe that those who threw the existing strategies for addressing a viral epidemic in the bin and went off on a totalitarian tack were “loving their neighbour”. Where are his critical faculties.
Did Solzhenitsyn suffer and write for nothing? Would Bonhoeffer have bowed to these totalitarian diktats?
Did Magna Carta die in vain?
The Gulag Archipelago are a tough read on many fronts. We are all in a “Gulag” now.
Given that the injected carry a viral load if re-infected up to 251 times that of the un-injected I would suggest this idiot is lying, bullshiting or both.
It has been proven that the vaccinated have the same oronasal viral load as the unvaccinated. Ergo they can spread it as well as the next man, or woman, or preferred pronoun!
But that is completely unscientific.
Firstly, vaccination means you can shed spike protein which could be very harmful to the unvaccinated.
And the unvaccinated might already have had covid in which case they would have nice strong natural immunity which means they won’t be infecting anyone with anything
And lastly, the vaccine does not stop you catching covid and does not stop you transmitting it – the PM said so and it is captured on video.
Where has Welby been??? How can he not know this before he pontificates and lectures on such matters?
I think he has not listened to Boris, evidently not seen Whitty committing professional suicide by making claims on a national TVNHS advert he cannot back up and definitely not the manufacturers’ information. I fear he has been rendered delusional by recent injections.
south africa is calling this a storm in a teacup
europe has collectively shat itself
maybe our jabbed and boosted population is not so healthy?
The Bish goes full Fauci with two facerags. He trusts neither in the Lord nor the jab.
*European dictators have collectively made their populations shit themselves.
What a load of…., unless he really is thick he will know that. Vaccines have always protected the vaccinated and no one else and its propaganda to think otherwise. A lot of people need to be deradicalized after the onslaught of the past 20 months
Render unto Pfizer…
Fuck off and get your own house in order before lecturing others. You could start with the CofE’s pathetic complaints policies, which are so weak and inadequate that no secular organisation which works with kids and vulnterable adults (as the CofE does) would ever regard them as acceptable.
Stay away from me, you vaccinated spreaders, works both ways
Another religious figure hath spoken today.
Masky Mark McClown, High Pontiff of The Western Lands, has decreed a third jab upon the realm. Hail Masky Mark!
I never thought “love thy neighbour” was a one way street.
I’m taking a massive stab that all of this could be about money, once a banker
I have posted this below but will repost here because it is most appropriate as an answer.

Not much point in converting into pubs now either
Not money.
Cowardice. Flagrant unbelief. Complete deafness to the true meaning of. Christianity, life, science, the universe, and everything.
Agree completely. The operators behind the global putsch, at least the visible ones, all appear to be suffering from *love* of money syndrome and as such have fully imbibed “ye shall be as gods” in the misapprehension that they have become masters of the universe.
But pride cometh before the fall, and all that.
CofE is fabulously wealthy – has pension funds invested for vicars pensions etc – wonder what shareholdings CofE currently has their money invested in. Would FoI request be able to find out if they have shares in AZ or Pfizer????
Our prayer group, convened in January this year for prayers about Lockdown and other things connected with this ‘pandemic’, has written TWICE to the Archbishop and on neither occasion have we received a useful response. The first time, in July, we wrote to ask him to make a clear public statement that the so-called ‘Vaccine Passports’ would NEVER bu used in Churches or Church buildings operated by the Church England. By making such a statement, we hoped or expected that all the other denominations would follow. The reply included the mealy-mouthed statement that such ‘passports’ would only be used or required in ‘exceptional circumstances’. Wind the clock on to November and we find that the Bishop of Durham or the Dean of Durham Cathedral (I have not been able to find out which, telephone calls are cut off and emails are ignored) now require sight of the ‘NHS Covid Pass’ to enter the Cathedral for Advent services. Two of our members have experienced difficulty and/or hostility in attending services without a ‘face-covering’. One of them was asked to wear an exemption badge which is specifically contradicted by the Government guidelines. This led to our second letter as follows: Your Grace,… Read more »
As regards Durham, is it being applied across the diocese or just in the cathedral? That should give a fairly strong indication of who is behind it.
Possibly only the Cathedral … at the moment. Do you think this will be rescinded after Epiphany? I don’t.
What’s so exceptional in Durham, I wonder?
Has anyone considered nailing a thesis to the cathedral door?

You know where he lives! I’d go and have a strong word with Welby but Wednesday is my sorting my socks drawer out day.
Another non-Christian pretending to be a Christian.
“Man that looks like a sex pest and dresses in funny costume talks shite”…..nothing to see here, move on.
How about putting up notices on church doors: “Unvaccinated NOT Welcome”.

Child minders for hire?
I’d laugh but then I’d vomit.
If those being injected are contributing to immune escape, and therefore helping to produce a more dangerous virus, then they are the ones who are being selfish.
Injection sceptics, on the other hand, are actually the selfless ones, because they are taking the risk of infection in order to build up herd immunity.
Furthermore, if those with a greater risk from side effects than from any disease get injected, then they are being double selfish, because they are willing to accept the risk of landing in a hospital bed, which could be used by someone in real need, in order to gain virtue signalling kudos.
That guy is a complete scumbag, him being archbishop is like having Dr Shipman running a old people home.
