Editor’s note: LifeSiteNews has interviewed Julian Young, who willingly shared documents showing that he was enrolled as a seminarian in the northeastern United States, that he received two doses of a COVID “vaccine,” and that he is now under medical care for autoimmune disease.
An autoimmune disease led to me leaving the seminary, and I believe my two COVID jabs are to blame.
My name is Julian Young. I am an aspirant to the priesthood for the Catholic Church. I did not grow up in the faith, but a few years after I graduated high school in 2010 I had a life-changing encounter with God and experienced His radical love and forgiveness in my life.
This experience led to a journey towards spiritual truth, but since I did not immediately recognize Jesus Christ as the Truth and as God Himself, my search initially led me down an erroneous path of religious pluralism. For a while I thought of Jesus simply as an ordinary, although wise, spiritual teacher, and I naively viewed all religions as teaching the same truth albeit in different ways.
For the first time, I prayed to Jesus for help
At the time, this way of thinking opened up some undesirable doorways for me, allowing the Enemy to generate a lot of fear and uncertainty in my spiritual life and causing me to rethink my path. One night, while experiencing some anxiety about this, an interior voice prompted me to pray to Jesus for help. It was not something I had ever done before, but at this point I was more than willing since I felt helpless to control the situation that was unfolding in my life. This was the first time I recognized my need for Christ.
Our Lord was quick to answer as, over the next few days, I felt that a flame had ignited in my soul, which now recognized Christ as its Savior and Redeemer, alone deserving of all worship. Satan’s attacks on my spiritual life stopped soon after.
I began to bury myself in Sacred Scripture, and Divine Providence soon led me to the fullness of Truth in the Catholic Church. In 2017, I was received into the Church, taking our Lady, the Blessed Virgin, as my patron saint in confirmation.
It was around this time that I began to discern my vocation. A strong desire to unite myself to Christ in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass led me to consider the priesthood, and in 2019 I took my first definitive step in this direction, trying my best to respond to God’s call.
At first I packed up my bags and left overseas to France to join the Missions Étrangères de Paris as a propaedeutic [student], thinking that our Lord might be pleased were I to evangelize in the east as a missionary priest. However, after several months of discernment, I realized that this was not my call, so I returned home to the USA to join the seminary and begin the path towards diocesan priesthood.
As I settled into the daily seminary routine and pursued my studies, I began to feel a deep sense of happiness and that I was finally where God wanted me to be. Sadly, Satan would again make his attack, this time on a global scale, as we would all became painfully aware.
Happy in my studies, I decided to do the ‘safe’ thing and get the jab
It was 2020 when I began my studies and, of course, at this time there was still widespread fear about COVID-19. The “vaccines” were about to be rolled out, and there was a lot of disagreement about whether or not the shots were safe. By the end of my spring semester 2021, like so many others, I unfortunately allowed fear to dictate my decision and decided to do the “safe” thing for my family and get the jab.
The ill effects of this poor decision weren’t immediate, so at first it did not occur to me that there was any correlation, but over the course of the next several months I began to experience inflammation in my lower body that caused pain in my back, especially, making it hard to sit. I figured that I just needed to go to the chiropractor, which helped a little, but the inflammation persisted.
That winter I made the unfortunate decision to get “boosted,” and that is when things really took a turn for the worse. Around that same time, I had injured my foot while running down some steps, and I began to feel inflammation around the site of the injury. To my bafflement, I began experiencing soon after a mirror phenomenon of pain and inflammation in my other foot as well, although I had done nothing to injure it.
I figured that I just needed to see a doctor, and that my feet would heal soon, so I went to a podiatrist who put me in a boot for six weeks and told me I would get better. However, he could not explain why my other foot was experiencing the same pattern of pain. By the end of the six weeks, not only was I not better, but the pain in both of my feet had elevated to an extreme burning and tingling.
At this time I was in still at the seminary, and although I managed to finish the semester, it was very difficult to get around and also to focus on my studies while trying to figure out what was going on with my health.
By the summer of 2022, my health continued to get worse. The inflammation and burning spread up my body, leading me to be relegated to a wheelchair. I didn’t have much success during the summer with doctors, so eventually I was forced to take a medical leave from my studies. It wasn’t until some friends pointed out to me that I had been “vaccinated” soon before the decline of my health that I began to realize the likely connection.
