Nigerian Pastor Ashimolowo Receives COVID-19 Vaccine
The founder of Kingsway International Christian Centre, Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, has received shot of COVID-19 vaccine.
Ashimolowo, whose church has branches in Nigeria and the United Kingdom, shared photos of his vaccination on social media on Sunday.
“I have taken the vaccination today. Very simple and quick. I encourage all BAME (Black, Asian and ethnic minority community) to take the vaccination. Save lives. Stay Safe. Protect yourselves. We need to do this. Let’s go,” the UK-based Nigerian pastor captioned some photos of his vaccination in a Facebook post.
The development comes months after Ashimolowo criticized pastors who linked the coronavirus pandemic to 5G technology.
He had also urged Christians to ignore claims that the link between COVID-19 and 5G is an initiative to facilitate the antichrist agenda across the world.
However, in a statement, the church said, “COVID-19 vaccination reduces your risks of severe infection and the need for admission to Intensive Care Unit, evidence is becoming available that vaccination will prevent transmission of the COVID-19 virus the known benefits of COVID-19 vaccinations outweigh the known and potential risks. The vaccines do not cause COVID-19 because they do not contain the Coronavirus.”
