Bishop of Vani and Baghdadi dioceses, Anton, says that 'he is not a vocal vaccine denier,' but he thinks only time will tell what is better for us.
"Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind.
Obviously, we should familiarize ourselves with scientists' and doctors' views.
I would lie if I said I will get the vaccine first. I will first observe developments, study facts, and the vaccine's side effects; however, I cannot say I am a vocal vaccine denier. I will never say they can vaccinate me over my dead body. I will neither disavow those who will get vaccinated. The Eucharist will also be permitted for them," the bishop told Rustavi 2.
