Official Declaration Concerning Vaccines
The Torah commands, ונשמרתם מאד לנפשותיכם “Guard your selves/lives carefully” (Deut. 4:15a) This Biblical commandment requires one to be very vigilant in caring for one’s nefesh (life/self), and to refrain from any action that may put his life or health in danger. Additionally, many vaccines contain unkosher substances. The benefits and risks of vaccination are a much-debated matter in medical and scientific circles. Although one may follow the opinion of most doctors and choose to vaccinate his/herself and his or her children, the individual who has done his or her own research has the obligation to act according to his or her own knowledge. If one’s research has led him or her to understand that the risks of vaccination outweigh its benefits, and especially when his or her view is supported by many medical doctors and researchers, the commandment of ונשמרתם מאד לנפשותיכם “Guard your selves/lives carefully” (Deut. 4:15a) obligates that person to shield himself/herself and his or her children from vaccines. Moreover, such an individual would also be bound to refuse such a vaccination due to its unkosher content. This is even more true when a parent has reasons to believe that his or her children are sensitive to vaccines. To act otherwise would be a transgression of the above Torah commandment.

This position was passed before Covid-19 is known to have existed, and long before Covid-19 vaccines existed. Where a religious exemption exists, Nazarenes may certainly claim such an exemption.
Thank you!
I was never really into vaccines before, but after the Father opened my eyes to Torah and His standards for what to put into my body, I’m definitely staying clear of them now. I’m thankful for the Torah observant groups that I’ve met, they informed me on a lot of substances that are contained in vaccines
Thank you for posting this statement. There are many out there who are Torah keepers who were not aware of this exemption.
Don’t let anyone jab you with this current so-called “vaccine” Per Phd Epidemiologist Judy Mikovich “the infection is in the injection”. Convid is a lie put forth by big pharma and Fauci’s minions.
