Franklin Graham is vaccinated and encourages his flock to do so too (from CNN, blitzer)

Do you think he holds enough sway to change a lot of evangelicals minds. Also said he'd do a PSA if Biden asked him to.

Vaccines are important. I would encourage people to pray about it," says Rev. Franklin Graham.

"I would never tell somebody they had to have it... we certainly should encourage people to consider the vaccine. And if you don't take it, there are some real risks for some groups."

but as soon as I saw Graham, I turned back. I could never listen to that man or any like him, no matter what they say.

I'm not a fan of either. But Billy was loved world wide. Franklin has always come across as angry.

Angry Christians are loved by their base...but not much more. I would think that being a Christian would eliminate the need to be angry. Empathy and hope should replace anger. I mean these people are going to live forever with god once this life is over. If you really believed that, why get angry. Just be helpful.

agreed with his message), but that Franklin was just a cynical opportunist cashing in on his dad's fame.
