After the Coronavirus started to spread, the epidemic has been evaluated in terms of social, economic, political, and religious perspectives. How different belief systems view such diseases came to the fore. The New Religious Movements, which started to emerge after the second half of the 20th century and became an essential part of the world's belief map, also took their place in the discussions on the subject.
Firstly, this article has been discussed how New Religious Movements interpret the epidemics. Then their reactions to the restrictions within the scope of Covid-19 measures or their solution to the crisis has been tried to determine. Finally, attitudes and behaviors towards the application of vaccines developed to protect individual and public health have been examined. Many New Religious Movements or the diversity of perspectives and approaches towards the epidemics make it very difficult to talk about their thoughts and practical applications. For this reason, the movements that come to the fore with their discourses and actions during the epidemic period are discussed in the article.

Yeni Dinî Hareketlerin Salgın Hastalıklar ve Tedavi Yöntemleri Karşısındaki Tutum ve Davranışları

Koronavirüs yayılmaya başladıktan sonra salgın toplumsal, ekonomik, siyasal olduğu kadar dinî perspektiften de değerlendirmeye tabi tutulmuş ve farklı inanç sistemlerinin bu tür hastalıklara nasıl baktığı gündeme gelmiştir. XX. yüzyılın ikinci yarısından sonra ortaya çıkmaya başlayan ve yeryüzünün inanç haritasının önemli bir parçası haline gelen Yeni Dinî Hareketler de konu ile ilgili tartışmalardaki yerini almıştır.
Bu makalede ilk olarak Yeni Dinî Hareketlerin salgın hastalıkları nasıl yorumladıkları ele alınmıştır. Ardından Covid-19 salgını tedbirleri kapsamında getirilen kısıtlamalara yönelik tepkileri ya da yaşanan bu kriz karşısındaki çözüm önerileri tespit edilmeye çalışılmış, son olarak da birey ve toplum sağlığını korumak amacıyla geliştirilen aşıların uygulanması karşısındaki tutum ve davranışları incelenmiştir. Bir yandan Yeni Dinî Hareketlerin sayıca çokluğu diğer taraftan salgın hastalıklara yönelik tutum ve yaklaşımların çeşitliliği, söz konusu hareketlerin tamamının konu ile ilgili düşünceleri ile pratikteki uygulamalarından bahsetmeyi oldukça zor, hatta imkânsız bir girişim haline getirmektedir. Bu nedenle örnek olarak daha ziyade salgın döneminde gerek söylemleri ile gerekse eylemleriyle öne geçerek kendisinden söz ettirmeyi başaran hareketlere müracaat edilmiştir.
