All COVID-19 Discussion GOES HERE

Daily Beast via Google News:

[Priest] Don Paolo Romeo had resisted pleas to get vaccinated from friends and colleagues who tried to talk sense into him… Romeo, who served as parish priest at Santo Stefano Abbey in Genoa, had clung to the conspiracy theory espoused by followers of French Catholic Archbishop Marcel François Marie Joseph Lefebvre: that vaccines are made using cells from aborted embryos.

(This claim is false and has been debunked even by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops…)

The Santo Stefano Abbey paid tribute to him on social media, …writing Monday that he “has risen to heaven.”

Also,

…[Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò], former Vatican ambassador to the United States…recently has been on a tear about the pandemic supposedly being a plot by a “globalist oligarchy” to enslave humanity. He recently addressed protesters in Rome and told them to defy vaccine mandates.

…That has not worked out too well for other members of the Catholic Church who fell ill. Cardinal Raymund Burke, who spewed conspiracy theories about COVID-19 vaccines and referred to the coronavirus as the “Wuhan virus,” was placed on a ventilator after falling ill with the virus last year. He survived but admitted during a Mass in December that he has still not made a full recovery.

It occurs to me that we’ve actually been living through two pandemics, one of which is disinformational.
