The abbot and five monks of Holy Trinity Monastery in Ano Gatzea, Pelion, Greece, will soon face trial in Volos for publishing a pocket calendar with information against COVID vaccines.
The monks face charges of distributing fake news for their calendar entitled, “Think Before You Vaccinate,” reports Magnesia News.
The monastery is a dependency of the Athonite monastery of the Great Lavra.
The publication contained statements from molecular biologists, professors, and a lawyer cautioning people against receiving COVID vaccines. The biologist emphasized the use of fetal tissue in the production of various vaccines.
According to a law amended last November, “anyone who publicly disseminates fake news, which is capable of causing confusion or fear to the citizen and shakes his confidence in the public health system, is punished with imprisonment of at least 3 months to 5 years and a fine.”
