Science Corner: Immunization is a Team Sport

(Photo by ed_needs_a_bicycle )

The Most Pressing Science & Faith Question tournament has reached the final round; scroll down or click here to vote between now and midnight EDT on Sunday (April 11). We’re going to take a break from answering these questions while I line up other folks to offer their perspectives. This week, I’d like to address some omissions from the bracket. Arguably, the most pressing science & faith questions of the moment have to do with religiously motivated COVID-19 vaccine refusal. I left out pandemic topics in part because I wanted this series to provide some respite from them and in part because their urgency is only temporary. Still, public health remains my vocation and so my thoughts never stray too far from SARS-CoV-2. That also means I am extra motivated to do what I can to bring about a time when I can put my focus elsewhere.

I don’t know how to talk about the events of last Wednesday; I don’t know how to not talk about them. I’m fairly certain this is not a moment for a scientist specifically. If you are short on time, I keep coming back to these words from Esau McCaulley, a New Testament scholar and IVP author who wrote powerfully about truth. If you have a few more minutes, consider giving them to Russell Moore’s reflections. For those still here, while this may not be a moment for scientists, I’m fairly certain this is a moment for everyone. So how do we find our part?
