The Orthodox Church in Moldova has denounced the potential use of a vaccine against COVID-19, calling it a satanic plan to microchip people, or introduce other foreign devices into the human body.
The Church is in full communion with other mainline Orthodox Christian Churches throughout the world.
“The global anti-Christian system wants to introduce microchips into people’s bodies with whose help they can control them, through 5G technology,” a cleric said in a press release on Tuesday evening.
The Moldovan Metropolitan Church, the largest faith group in the country, is canonically subordinated to the Russian Orthodox Church. Official data say almost 97 percent of people in Moldova are officially Orthodox Christians, and most of them belong to this denomination.
The socially conservative Church claimed Microsoft boss Bill Gates is primarily responsible for creating microchipping technology and could therefore gain control of people through a COVID vaccine.
“Vaccination introduces nanoparticles into the body that react to the waves transmitted by 5G technology and allow the system to control humans remotely,” the Church statement said.
Rhetoric about the allegedly negative effects of 5G has been intensively promoted during the COVID-19 pandemic by conservative circles in Europe and the US, together with Russian media affiliated to the Kremlin.
The Church warned Moldovan Prime Minister Ion Chicu that if he did not lift restrictions on gatherings in churches sooner than the planned date of June 30 he would be struck off the prayer list.
“We will take the canonical and moral right to exclude you from remembrance in the Church’s prayers,” the statement said. “Do not fight against the Church, for it is Christ who defends it.”
Chicu on Wednesday urged everyone to remain calm in a Facebook post.
“Let us all pray for the lucidity and health of the people, including bureaucrats and employees and the Church,” the prime minister wrote, adding that the medical crisis “reminds us of how important it is to restore the education system in the country… in a [more] elevated society, such warnings would not appear.”
The COVID-19 infection rate in Moldova has remained high with 200 new registered cases on Tuesday alone, bringing the total case number to 6,340 and the death toll to 224.

This is getting out hand, it’s time for the Patriarchs of the Orthodox Church to take a stance once and for all against the conspiracy theories. These are a threat to human life, one way or another. Not speaking up at this point is greatly risking the lives of laypersons and clergy.
First of all, the Eastern Orthodox Church is NOT a denomination! It is pre-denominational, following the only and unchanged doctrine which Jesus taught! Please read your history! We preceded Catholicism by a thousand years. We are unchanged. All prophecies have been fulfilled to the letter in perfect chronology and science. My point here is that we are mot to take the vaccine for both side effects as well as to not be controlled. This is a warning by our late and revered St. Paisios of MT. Athos as well as in Revelation. We are not radical fanatics as Jesus was not, is not! We are simply logical and abide by the perfect and unchanged Source. We must have faith and build our immunity and use common sense. Just because the virus is smaller than the perforations of a mask does not mean it can penetrate as it also has other properties which prevent mask transmission such as electrostatic components, etc. Trump should have slammed this virus by making mandatory mask wearing like Korea has who has no problems with the virus. Now we’re in a mess, and at this point a vaccine will not be effective anyway. Moreover, it’s such a tricky virus that there couldn’t possibly be an effective vaccine. I’m a biology teacher and these are my beliefs!
Elder Ephraim of Arizona prophecies (with who I personally witnessed a miracle) has prophecies that all (or nearly all) of the priests will end up getting the mark of the Beast. He said we will have to travel very far to find a priest…
