Franklin Graham told ABC News in a recent interview during a segment in which mainstream media was selling the various Covid-19 vaccines to the American people. “I think if there were vaccines available in the time of Christ, Jesus would have made reference to them and used them.”
Claiming to know that Jesus Christ would make “reference” to vaccines and use them is borderline blasphemous, according to this article author, Carl Durrek.
Graham also said,
Durrek also points out,
ABC News interview is linked in the article with one notable exception:
The ABC News report being referred to is titled, Blessing by way of medicine: These pastors preach COVID-19 vaccination as God's healing power. It's a very interesting article that contains the opinions of a number of pastors in different denominations and settings Well worth the read.

“I believe it is consistent with Scripture that we protect our lives and do whatever we can to save life,” Graham said. “So I don’t have any problem with telling a person to take an aspirin or telling a person to have a vaccine.”
Durrek also points out,
At another point in the segment, Graham and others seem to insinuate that religious leaders who are pushing against the Covid vaccines are taking risks with their parishioners. This may be true, but these pro-vaccine religious leaders did not note the opposite side of the coin. Should those pushing Covid vaccines feel badly if someone they’re counseling dies from it? There have been numerous cases of deaths cause by the vaccines, though mainstream media generally ignores these or even covers them up.
ABC News interview is linked in the article with one notable exception:
It’s conspicuous that the statement regarding Jesus taking vaccines was removed from the digital version of the video, but was still included in the news report accompanying it as of the posting of this article.
