| | Poll: Vaccination rates among religious groups | | Curated for you byCP Editors | | Good afternoon! It's Friday, February 11, and we're here with the latest poll on vaccination rates among religious subgroups, an update on the Duggar sisters' "invasion of privacy" lawsuit, and an interview with author Lee Grady. | | A survey from Pew Research Center has revealed that 62% of white Evangelical Protestants have had at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, which is the lowest vaccination rate among all demographic subgroups questioned. The research, which included responses from more than 10,000 U.S. adults, found that 73% of respondents reported that they were fully vaccinated, while 20% indicated they had not gotten a shot. Catholics saw the highest rates of vaccination, with 85% reporting that they had taken at least one dose of the vaccine. |

| COVID lockdowns proven 'ill-founded,' but media ignores | | In January, Johns Hopkins published an extensive study about the destructive results of COVID-19 lockdowns, with the meta-analysis concluding that lockdowns have had little to no public health effects but have had negative repercussions economically and socially. The findings led the researchers to declare, "In consequence, lockdown policies are ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument." However, the report has received little acknowledgment by the media, writes Bill Connor, who asserts the media's iron fist defense of lockdowns while "slamming lockdown critics" has resulted in the industry censoring the report. Connor calls journalists out for this behavior, saying, "The Progressive Left, including allies in the media, cannot be allowed to continue their monopoly on what constitutes 'science' and suppress everyone else. Science comes from continually questioning and demanding proof. That didn’t happen with lockdowns, and hundreds of millions suffered." | | Biden’s latest proposal would force insurers to pay for gender ‘transition’ | | The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has proposed a rule that would add sexual orientation and gender identity language to the 2010 Affordable Care Act, thereby ensuring that those who identify as LGBT receive "medically necessary" care, including "gender-affirming" surgeries and hormone "therapy." In this op-ed, Jay W. Richards, Ph.D., breaks down sex, gender, and the law, declaring, "[T]he department’s proposed rule circumvents the law and treats dubious treatments as essential health benefits in qualified health plans. This not only contradicts the best science and medicine, it’s a disaster for insurers, for medical providers, and, most of all, for those struggling with gender dysphoria." | | Also of Interest... | | When liberal 'truths' come home to roost, we get Lia ThomasSocial infertility and the denial of reality |

| Grady talks discipleship, church growth | | In this interview with The Christian Post, Lee Grady, author and leader of The Mordecai Project, discusses the challenges of discipleship facing the church today and how churches can better foster the spiritual health of their congregants. In addressing the decline of church membership in the U.S., Grady says, "I think that the overarching reason why we’re losing ground is that we didn’t pass the baton and we didn’t know how ... [I]f leaders don’t feel comfortable sitting down and having coffee with someone, or having a small group in their house, or meeting young people at a Starbucks, if there’s not that comfort level for that, then there’s going to be a huge breakdown."
