Francis Collins Urges Evangelicals: ‘Love Your Neighbor,’ Get COVID-19 Vaccine


‘It was an answer, even beyond what I had almost dared to pray for,’ the National Institutes of Health director said of vaccine efficacy.

Francis Collins, the director of the National Institutes of Health and an outspoken evangelical Christian, urged his fellow evangelicals, many of whom have resisted the COVID-19 vaccine, to get the shot and encourage others to do the same.

“It’s not just about this decision for yourself; it’s also about the opportunity to do something for your neighbors,” said Collins at a webinar called “Evangelicals & COVID-19 Vaccine” on Tuesday (April 27). “Brothers and sisters, this really is a love-your-neighbor moment.”

Collins was joined on the virtual panel by Southern Baptist ethicist Russell Moore and Christianity Today President Timothy Dalrymple. The event was hosted by Wheaton College’s Humanitarian Disaster Institute. Read More
