New Survey: Most U.S. Churchgoers Trust Their Clergy for COVID Vaccine Guidance, but Clergy Aren’t Really Offering It

Since the coronavirus pandemic began, clergy have been among prominent figures in the news and on social media discussing vaccines. Some have described them as “the mark of the beast” or an infringement on religious liberty, while others have framed the shots as a moral and religious duty. But a new survey out Friday finds the majority of regular churchgoers have heard little if anything, positive or negative, from their clergy about vaccines.
