Vaccinations
The Golden Age, February 4, 1931, p. 293
"Vaccination is a direct violation of the everlasting
covenant that God made with Noah after the flood."
The Watchtower, December 15, 1952, p. 764
"Is vaccination a violation of God's law forbidding the
taking of blood into the system?É After consideration of the
matter, it does not appear to us to be in violation of the
everlasting covenant made with Noah, as set down in Genesis
9:4, nor contrary to God's related commandment at Leviticus
17:10- 14É Hence all objection to vaccination on Scriptural
grounds seems to be lacking."
The Watchtower, November 1, 1961, p. 670
"Since the Bible forbids the eating of blood, how are
Christians to view the use of serums and vaccines? Has the
Society changed its viewpoint on this?ÉHowever, vaccination
is a virtually unavoidable practice in many segments of
modern society, and the Christian may find some comfort
under the circumstances in the fact that this use is not in
actuality a feeding or nourishing process, which was
specifically forbidden when God said that man was not to eat
blood, but it is a contamination of the human system.
Awake!, August 22, 1965, p. 20
"There can be little doubt that vaccinations appear to
have caused a marked decrease in the number of people
contracting certain contagious diseases."
The Watchtower, October 1, 1994, p. 31
"Would it be proper to accept a vaccination or some other
medical injection containing albumin derived from human
blood? Witnesses have long realized that this is a matter
for private decision in accord with each one's Bible-trained
conscience. Some Christians who feel that they can in good
conscience accept such injections have noted that antibodies
from the blood of a pregnant woman cross into the blood of
the baby in her womb."
