On Thursday, July 3, 2025, at the 62nd General Conference Session, a motion to add to the agenda a review and discussion of the GC’s 2015 statement on immunization was voted down by delegates.

On the morning of Friday, July 4, 2025, however, GC president Ted Wilson issued a corrective statement clarifying remarks he had made to delegates the day before while reading directly from that statement, as it was revealed to church officers that the posted version of the statement had been inaccurate for 10 years.

This revelation prompted the following motion:

“Motion to reconsider the failed motion to amend the General Conference Session agenda to include a review and discussion of the 2015 General Conference Administrative Committee statement on immunization, specifically its claim regarding peer-reviewed scientific literature, in addition to the Bible and the writings of Ellen G. White.”

Some discussion ensued among the delegates; however, the new motion was ultimately rejected by a large majority through a vote by card.
