In an Unprecedented Move, Ted Wilson Came Out to "Strongly Urge" the Delegates to Shut Down All Discussions on Covid-19

Jonathan Zirkle, a delegate from the General Conference, proposed that the Seventh-day Adventist Church reexamine its position on vaccines and that this topic be included on the agenda for the 61st General Conference Session. Jonathan Zirkle stated that the church's present stance on vaccinations has caused many church members to suffer and has negatively impacted them during the Covid pandemic.

In an unprecedented move, President Ted Wilson stepped out to personally address the 61st General Conference Session delegates just as the motion on Covid-19 was going to be considered by the delegates. The chair unexpectedly announced that Ted Wilson would be giving some remarks. Ted Wilson was not chairing this meeting, and there were several other votes and resolutions during these sessions, but this was the first and only time that Ted Wilson interrupted a proceeding. Notice what Ted Wilson told the delegates:

"I want to strongly urge … that we stand united in asking this body not to put that issue on the agenda."

"The General Conference has not mandated that people take the vaccination. It has given people a choice."

"This is not an agenda item for the General Conference. It is an administrative item. It has been dealt with and some people don't like the way it has been dealt with, and that is their right."

"We respectfully, kindly, and very much in a determined manner ask that you, the delegates, vote 'no' on placing this item as an agenda item." (YouTube Video).

Ted Wilson came out to "urge" the delegates in a "very much determined manner" to vote "no" to adding Covid-19 to the agenda of the 61st General Conference Session. Was this a motion to the delegates, or was it a command? Whichever it was, Ted Wilson used his position as President of the General Conference to influence the vote. He got involved only after the chairman failed to kill this debate on Covid through questionable tactics.

Again, it was only after it was obvious that a discussion was going to take place on Covid-19 that Ted Wilson injected himself into the process and forcefully asked the delegates to shut down the conversation on Covid. Surprisingly, or maybe not, the delegates acquiesced and the matter was voted down.

This is truly amazing. It's incredible that when it comes to shutting down discussion on Covid, Ted Wilson will go to great lengths to stop this effort. Where is the same enthusiasm to put an end to apostasy? Where is the same effort to purify the people of God? Where is his desire to purge the church of many evils? If Ted Wilson can use his power and influence to stop a vote during a General Conference Session, can he not use this same authority to stop a lot of the shenanigans in Adventism?
