The Head of the Catholic Church in Fiji, Archbishop Peter Loy Chong says he thinks we should correct those who are calling the COVID-19 vaccine evil and satanic.

In an interview with fijivillage, Archbishop Chong says if something brings about good and is of good intention, it cannot be the work of evil.

He further says the vaccine is supposed to bring about good health and stopping the spread of the virus which is good.

The Archbishop adds God has gifted us with knowledge, intellect, ability to study and research which is meant to be at the service for the common good of all people and what comes from God brings about good.

He further says some religious bodies are saying they have their freedom and rights, however he says those rights and freedoms do not supercede other people’s rights and freedoms.

Archbishop Chong also highlighted that it is our moral obligation to get vaccinated.

He says after the Easter weekend he will register to get vaccinated.
