Welby: Getting vaxxed is loving your neighbour and what Jesus told us to do

Getting vaccinated against coronavirus is a moral issue, the Archbishop of Canterbury has said. Welby has been heavily criticised in the past for his failure to deal with paedophile priests in the church.

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”.

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, Mr 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.”
