Analysis / Bias
The website strongly opposes vaccination, arguing from a religious and moral standpoint. It publishes content critical of vaccines, categorizing them as harmful and contrary to God’s design. This perspective is evident in the thematic organization of its articles and the explicit call to action for the Christian community to oppose vaccination practices.
Every article reviewed either promoted false information, conspiracy theories or pseudoscience, such as this that equates vaccines as sinful: The SINFUL & DANGEROUS Allure of Vaccinating for the Praise of Man and this under the tag Mass Murder: How Vaccination KEEPS you from Recovering and can ASSAULT your Internal Organs. Finally, they have published false information such as this Vaccination & the EPIDEMIC of Collapsing Athletes (Video Compilation). This story is false. When it comes to sourcing, they rely on anti-vaccination advocates like Children’s Health Defense and Steve Kirsch, who have poor fact-check records.
In general, Vaccines and Christianity hold far-right viewpoints and consistently promote false and misleading claims regarding vaccines.
