The YouTube administration removed the UOJ interview with Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou because of his words about the COVID vaccine. YouTube cited the dissemination of "false medical information" as the reason for the sanctions.
“On YouTube, it is forbidden to publish materials with false medical information that can cause serious harm to health about currently used vaccines, the effectiveness and safety of which has been confirmed by local health authorities and the World Health Organization (WHO),” such a message was received by UOJ admins on YouTube.
Recall what exactly the Metropolitan of Morphou said about the vaccine: “Not only in Cyprus, but all over the world, everything was preceded by a great venture with covid and vaccination. About 70% of Cypriots or even more have been vaccinated. Neither politicians nor spiritual leaders have told us what this vaccine really is. And now vaccinated people have terrible side effects. There are disabilities, there are sudden deaths. And I think that one of the side effects of this genetically modified vaccine (which is not the same as it used to be) is a change in the human will, depriving humans of the gift of freedom, which is the greatest gift bestowed by God to His beloved creation –man.”
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that, according to Metropolitan Neophytos, Metropolitan Onuphry bespeaks the truth in Ukraine today.
