John Piper 
 voices Covid 
 vaccine doubt

Dr Michelle Ols

US Evangelical leader John Piper has expressed his doubts about some of the current Covid vaccines being developed.

In an interview on the Desiring God website, the famous preacher and writer said: ‘If we really believe that the killing of unborn children is abhorrent to God and falls into the category of the shedding of innocent blood, for which God’s judgment fell, we should not think of turning this wickedness into a wonder drug to save our lives. We should not do evil that good may come.’

‘If a scientist avoids using tissue and organs harvested from babies killed in abortion, or if an ordinary citizen avoids using a medication that they know has been developed specifically through such harvesting and research, the aim is that the Christian conscience is preserved and Christ is made much of as more valuable than any security or safety or health we might get through sin.’
