Georgian clerics have attended a meeting organised by the Rondeli Foundation (Georgian Foundation for Strategic and International Studies) in Tbilisi earlier today, dedicated to the importance of vaccines and the turmoil around the still uncreated vaccine of COVID-19.
A lecture was delivered by Doctor Maka Lomidze from the Lembach Diagnostic European Group Mrcheveli within the project supported by National Endowment for Democracy.
Before the meeting took place several top Georgian clerics came out against the COVID-19 future vaccine, claiming that the vaccine would be mandatory and be used to implant ‘devil’s chips’ in humans.
Doctor Lomidze said that the clerics who attended the meeting were not against the vaccine. However, they had questions whether the vaccine would be mandatory or not.

I received the offer regarding the meeting from the Rondeli foundation as there were controversies around the COVID-19 vaccine. The foundation wanted to provide the clerics with genuine information regarding the vaccination. I have not heard that the future vaccine of COVID-19 to be mandatory. Moreover, there will be such a high demand for the vaccine it is unlikely it will be mandatory,” Netgazeti cited Lomidze as saying.
Earlier Deputy Head of Georgia’s National Disease Control Centre Paata Imnadze responded to speculations regarding the COVID-19 vaccine by stating that ‘we should pray for there to be enough vaccine for Georgia.’
In previous years Rondeli foundation also organised the visits of Georgian clerics to Brussels, to the headquarters of NATO and the EU, to further raise the clergymen’s awareness of the organisations and the country’s Euro-Atlantic intentions.
The church is one of the most trusted institutions in Georgia.
