Pope Francis calls anti-vaccine sentiment 'baseless' in his annual state-of-the-world speech
ROME — In a sweeping speech on the pandemic and other global issues, Pope Francis on Monday called for widespread vaccination in all countries and suggested the global coronavirus response was being complicated by “baseless information or poorly documented facts.”
“Vaccines are not a magical means of healing,” Francis said, directly addressing vaccine hesitancy as the omicron variant surges. “Yet surely they represent, in addition to other treatments that need to be developed, the most reasonable solution for the prevention of the disease.”
Countries that have widely used vaccines, the pope noted, have seen a reduction in severe cases.
“It is therefore important to continue the effort to immunize the general population as much as possible,” Francis said.
