Elder Gabriel of Mt. Athos on vaccines and repentance

I was told so...
Some priests were reading prayers to a demonized man.
There was also a girl who was present, who had taken the vaccine but later had repented.
At a certain moment the demon turned to the girl and said:
"You should thank the Most Holy Theotokos...
who has turned the vaccine inside of you to water".
These were the words of the demon.
This happened because the girl had repented.
So, we should say to those who had gone and taken the vaccine...
that they should repent, go to confession and attend church...,
keep the fast, and pray and do good deeds.
And the Lord would accept them...
as if they had never taken the vaccine.
If they repented.
Otherwise, if they would not repent...
The Igumen of the Monastery of St. Paul (a great ascetic from the Holy Mountain)...
[said] that "Who would be vaccinated will live from two to five years".
He will die (unprepared spiritually).
