There is growing and well-justified concern about the safety and efficacy of the vaccines which have been sped to market at breakneck speed.

Historically, vaccine safety protocols mean the products are tested for up to 10 years before release to the public. In contrast, the COVID-19 vaccine has been developed in under one year. It will be years before the full side effects of this new vaccine are known, raising serious health concerns.

In just the few weeks the vaccine has been available, a startling number of people have died within hours or days of taking the vaccine. Those vaccine victims include a doctor, health care workers and a number of elderly people – the very people vaccine makers tell us they are trying to help.

A 56-year-old pro-vaccine Miami doctor died from taking the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine.

Within 72 hours of getting the vaccine, Dr. Gregory Michael was rushed to the emergency room. Testing showed he had zero platelets in his blood. "No matter what they did, the platelet count refused to go up,” said his wife, Heidi Neckelmann.

Dr. Michael “was a pro-vaccine advocate and that is why he got it himself,” stated his wife. “In my mind, his death was 100 percent linked to the vaccine. There is no other explanation.”

And while death is a terrifying side effect, so too are the other known and unknown side effects of these untested vaccines.

Thanks to good friends like you, Christians in Defense of Israel has taken Christian college students to Israel under our Covenant Journey program for several years. In the 30 tours we have led, I have personally witnessed miraculous physical, spiritual and emotional healings.

I have witnessed a new generation come to love Israel—a generation which will fight for Israel for all the generations to come.

Many of our young college-age alumni now work in Congress, the White House and in virtually every profession around the world. One of our alumni teaches Israeli fighter pilots how to fly the American F-35 fighter jets!

Covenant Journey alumni return to America with a passion for God and for Israel that is carried over into everything they do.

Your kind generosity helps make all this possible! But now Christians of any age face a huge barrier to visiting Israel.

Yes, it’s certainly true that Israel’s health policies are Israel’s business. However, a mandatory vaccine will impact all of Christendom. It is not simply our Covenant Journey college students and church groups who will miss the opportunity to visit Israel.

After surviving a year like 2020, the world needs MORE pilgrimages to the Holy Land, not less! That’s why I urge you . . .

Don’t let Israel shut down Christian tourism. Act now to sign our petition to Prime Minister Netanyahu and Israeli government officials. Make your voice heard! And be as generous as you can as you respond.

CIDI and Covenant Journey are held in high esteem by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He knows the role CIDI plays in supporting Israel.

Join me in signing this personal and prayerful letter to the Prime Minister, asking that Israel please drop mandatory vaccinations for travelers.
