According to Patriarch Bartholomew, pandemic and vaccination deniers "do not think right, do not think logically and do injustice to themselves and their fellows".

Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople, in an interview with the Greek television channel Mega TV, said that it is absurd to be afraid of vaccination and urged everyone to get vaccinated, reports romfea.gr.

"It is completely absurd and unfair for some people to be afraid to get the vaccine. There is no reasonable excuse. I call again on everyone to be vaccinated without reservation to avoid possible serious dangers that will lead them to death," the Patriarch noted.

"We as a church, as a religion, as the Ecumenical Patriarchate in particular, respect science, the representatives of science, the findings and discoveries of science and conform our lives to them," he added.

Regarding the pandemic deniers and the vaccinators, Patriarch Bartholomew said that "they do not think correctly and do not think logically and do injustice to themselves and their fellow human beings. Because they can transmit the coronavirus to their fellow human beings without realizing it. There is a great danger."

As reported, in January 2019, the Phanar head was vaccinated against COVID.
