In the USA, the television priest and anti-vaccination opponent Marcus Lamb died as a result of Covid-19. Together with his wife, he had warned an audience of millions of the “deadly danger of a vaccination”.
Another TV preacher who was critical of vaccinations died of Corona in the USA: Marcus Lamb, 64 years old, founder of the Christian TV channel “Daystar”. “It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Marcus Lamb, President and Founder of Daystar Television Network, has gone home to be with the Lord,” wrote the broadcaster on Twitter.
Pray instead of vaccinating
According to the “New York Times”, the television priest had regularly questioned the effectiveness of corona vaccinations. In addition, he and his wife Joni, also a moderator, spread conspiracy theories. In the spring they claimed the vaccine was fatal. Instead, the couple advised viewers to “pray”.
Shortly before Lamb’s death, Joni Lamb said, according to NBC, “Pray that his lungs will be cleared of Covid and pray that his oxygen levels will rise so we can take him home,” she said, according to NBC. Her husband was hospitalized on November 18 because of his infection. Lamb had his last TV appearance two weeks earlier, coughing. His son described Covid-19 disease as a “spiritual attack by the enemy”.
Marcus Lamb reached 100 million households
Marcus Lamb was born in the southern state of Georgia and began preaching when he was 15. Around ten years later, in 1981, he founded the “Word of God Fellowship”, and in 1997 the TV channel “Daystar” with which he reached 100 million households.
The arch-conservative anti-vaccination opponent and TV presenter Dick Farrell only died of Corona in August. 13 months ago, TV preacher Irvin Baxter, who was also critical of vaccinations, succumbed to Covid-19.
