After defying restrictions on the spread of the new coronavirus for months, the Archbishop of Thomis, Theodosius, changed his mind about the vaccine. The high prelate now urges vaccination and affirms that the authorities have not informed him sufficiently on this issue. But now he says he has studied the subject himself.
“I am in a very good study and I have positive thoughts. I acquired some knowledge, that I did not have, from someone who studied for a long time. And they did not inform me, tomorrow I will be better informed and I will tell you,” they said. Theodosius told reporters.
Asked if he had changed his mind about the vaccine, the Archbishop of Tomis replied that he does not give his opinion, but he trusts the scientists.
“Not that opinion, I documented. We do not walk with opinions, we walk with solid scientific knowledge.
