His Eminence’s office and the Doctrinal Council of the Druze monotheistic faith… An Appeal to Our Dear Brothers and Citizens

2021-05-28

In the name of God the Merciful,
An appeal to our dear brothers and family
Out of concern for public safety and the personal safety of each individual, and in response to the appeal of the relevant authorities and competent references:
In view of the reluctance of some members of our Lebanese society to seek the “Corona” virus vaccine as required nationally, some of these members think that the epidemic has receded and disappeared and others have fear of the effects of the vaccine.
With an emphasis on adherence to the responsible health directive, which says that it is necessary to continue to adopt means of prevention, including the necessity of vaccination, and based on the results of research issued by scientific and health references on the importance of vaccines:
We would like to recommend, out of a sense of responsibility, to take the initiative to receive the vaccine as soon as possible, unless there is a health impediment specified by the specialist doctor. The reason is to avoid the repercussions of the pandemic on various areas of life, and to increase protection for oneself, the family and the community from any potential danger. In addition, it is considered a duty of service to the homeland that allows its citizens to live their normal and safe lives without worrying about further transmission and spread of the pandemic.
And as we re-iterate, the reality of faith and religious literature in general, requires, in disavowal, extreme awareness of the danger of transmitting infection, and effective precaution with what is required by reason, science and faith alike, and God Almighty is the Preserver and Helper in every case and at all times.
