FRANCIS COLLINS OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH TALKING ABOUT ONE OF THE GROUPS OF AMERICANS WHO ARE MOST SKEPTICAL OF GETTING THE CORONAVIRUS VACCINE THAT'S WHITE EVANGELICALS. THERE'S ABOUT 41 MILLION ACCORDING TO THE PEW RESEARCH CENTER AND MOST SAY THEY WON'T GET THE SHOT. EXPERTS SAY WHAT SOME EVANGELICAL PASTORS PREACH FROM THE PULPIT FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS HAD A PROFOUND EFFECT IN SHAPING THEIR OPINIONS. >> DO NOT TAKE THE VACCINE. [ SPEAKING IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE ] >> BELIEVE IN THE BLOOD MUCH JESUS. BELIEVE IN DIVINE IMMUNITY. >> THAT IS PASTOR WHOSE CHURCH IN MIAMI HAS BEEN A MUST VISIT FOR REPUBLICANS RUNNING FOR OFFICE IN RECENT YEARS INCLUDING FORMER FLORIDA GOVERNOR AND CURRENT U.S. SENATOR RICK SCOTT AND PRESIDENT TRUMP WHO LAUNCHED HIS EVANGELICAL SUPPORT GROUP THERE AND INACTIVITIED THE PASTOR TO THE WHITE HOUSE. IN MIAMI-DADE COUNTY WHERE HE IS HEADQUARTERED MORE THAN 6,000 PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM COVID. LAST YEAR WHILE THE CDC RECOMMENDED LIMITING MASK GATHERINGS, HE SAID THE FEAR THAT KEPT PEOPLE HOME WAS A DEMONIC SPIRIT AND HE ALSO SAID THIS. >> I CAN'T GO TO CHURCH TODAY. WHY? I THINK THE PASTOR WILL HAVE A VIRUS. IF WE DIE, WE DIE FOR CHRIST. >> HE'S JUST ONE OF A NUMBER OF EVANGELICAL PREACHERS WHO HAVE SPREAD DISINFORMATION ABOUT OR DOWN PLAYED THE CORONAVIRUS. >> THAT'S CALLED GERMOPHOBIC. YOU THINK I'M SUCKING THE VIRUS OFF OF HER? >> I CAME TODAY TO DECLARE VICTORY OVER THE VIRUS. >> COVID-19. >> COVID-19. >> I BLOW THE WIND OF GOD ON YOU. YOU ARE DESTROYED FOREVER. >> YOU ARE DESTROYED FOREVER. >> AND YOU'LL NEVER BE BACK. >> THAT LAST ONE WAS TEXAS MEGA CHURCH PASTOR KENNETH COPELAND WHEN AT THE TIME THE U.S. DEATH TOLL HIT 10 HOUSE TO.

MORE THAN 31 MILLION OTHERS HAVE BEENAND YOU WILL NEVER BE BACK. >> THAT LAST ONE WAS TEXAS MEGA CHURCH PASTOR KENNETH COPELAND WHEN HE ALSO SAID CHRISTIANS ABOUT IMMUNE FROM THE VIRUS BECAUSE PRESIDENT TRUMP RECOVERED FROM IT. >> THIS DISPLAY OF OUR GOVERNMENT GIVING GOD THANKS, FOR HELPING HIM IN THAT TIME. AND HE WALKED OUT IMMUNE. >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> SOMEHOW. GLORY TO GOD. WOO! THANK YOU JESUS. >> YEAH, AMEN. >> COME ON, MAN. SOME -- HEY, WE'RE IMMUNE. >> THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S RIGHT. >> WE'RE GOING THROUGH THIS THING WITH A HOLY SPIRIT IMMUNITY FROM THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL. >> AT LEAST HE ACKNOWLEDGED THERE IS A PANDEMIC. >> THERE IS NO PANDEMIC. >> THAT IS JOHN MacARTHUR, MEGA CHURCH PASTOR IN L.A. WHO TOLD HIS PASTORS LAST AUGUST WHILE HOLDING INDOOR SERVICES DEFYING THE STATE'S HEALTH GUIDANCE AS CONGREGANTS GATHERED, SHOOK HANDS AND SANG MANY DID SO WITHOUT MASKS EVEN THOUGH WE LEARNED EARLY ON THAT CHURCHES WERE SUPER SPREADERS AFTER A CHURCH IN THE STATE HAD 5 PEOPLE FALLING ILL AND TWO DYING. MacARTHUR THEN SANG A DIFFERENT TUNE. >> THIS IS NOT PERSECUTION OF THE CHURCH. THIS IS GOVERNMENT LAW FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF THE POPULATION. IT'S NOT NOBLE TO SAY, WELL, WE'RE GOING TO MEET WHATEVER THE GOVERNMENT SAYS. THAT IS THE KIND OF DEFIANCE THAT MAKES CHRISTIANITY LOOK ANYTHING BUT LOVING. >> WE CONTACTED MacARTHUR AND HIS CHURCH ABOUT THIS SHIFT IN TONE. AND WE RECEIVED AN EMAIL BACK FROM JENNA ELLIS FORMER TRUMP SENIOR LEGAL ADVISER WHO SAID SHE REPRESENTED THE PASTOR AND THE CHURCH ASKED IF THEY STAND BY THE COMMENT, QUOTE, THERE IS NO PANDEMIC" ELLIS DID NOT RESPOND. SHE CONTRACTED THE VIRUS HERSELF LAST DECEMBER. IT IS FED BY A MIXTURE OF DISTRUST IN GOVERNMENT, QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW VACCINES WORK. ON SOCIAL MEDIA ONE CONSPIRACY THEORY THAT SOME EADVANTAGE GELCALS SEIZE ON IS THAT THE VACCINE IS THE MARK OF THE BEAST. IT IS A REFERENCE TO THE BACK OF REVELATIONS. ANOTHER BASELESS CLAIM IS THAT THE VACCINE IS ACTUALLY A REDUCE FOR IMPLANTING MICROCHIPS IN AMERICANS. AND RECENTLY JIM BAKKER USED HESS PLATFORM TO HOST WALKING DEAD CONSPIRACY THEORIES SERIOUSLY WHEN ONE OF HIS GUESTS TOLD THE AUDIENCE COVID-19 NASAL TESTED ARE MEANT THE STEAL DNA THE TURN AMERICANS INTO FLESH-EATING ZOMBIES. >> ZOMBIES THAT ARE ON EARTH ARE DISEASE LIKE ANY OTHER DISEASE THAT AFFECTS PEOPLE AND THEY BECOME LIKE ZOMBIES; IS THAT RIGHT. >> ZOMBIES ALSO HAVE THE EVIL ENTITY KNOWN AS DEMON POSSESSION. >> BAKER ALSO PUSHED A PRODUCT ON HIS SHOW LAST YEAR CALLED SILVER SOLUTION THAT HE FALSELY SAID COULD RID COVID FROM YOUR BODY. IT CONTAINS A SUBSTANCE THAT CAN BE DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH. >> THIS INFLUENZA THAT IS NOW CIRCLING THE GLOBE, YOU ARE SAYING THAT SILVER SOLUTION WOULD BE EFFECTIVE? >> LET'S SAY IT HASN'T BEEN TESTED ON THIS STRAIN OF THE CORONAVIRUS, BUT IT HAS BEEN TESTED ON OTHER STRAINS. >> YEAH. >> OF THE CORONAVIRUS, AND HAS BEEN ABLE TO ELIMINATE IT WITHIN 12 HOURS. >> MEANT OF THE COMMENTS WE JUST PLAYED CAME DURING THE EARLY DAYS OF THE VIRUS BUT JUST LAST WEEK CNN WENT TO BATON ROUGE AND MET WITH A PASTOR TONE SPELLS. SPELLS ADAMANTLY IS AGAINST GETTING A VACCINE. >> ANTI-VAXX, AND ANTI-VACCINE, ANTI-GOVERNMENT, AND I AM PROUD TO BE ANTI-GOVERNMENT. >> LISTENING TO ALL OF THIS DISINFORMATION IT MIGHT SURPRISE YOU TO LEARN THAT SOME OF THE BIGGEST EVANGELICAL VOICE THIS IS THE COUNTRY MADE A CRUSADE OF PROMOTING THE VACCINE LIKE THIS PROMINENT SOUTHERN BAPTIST PREACHER. >> I AM CALLING THESE VACCINES AN EARLY CHRISTMAS PRESENT FROM GOD. IT SHOULDN'T SURPRISE US THAT GOD WOULD USE SCIENCE TO BRING HEALING INTO OUR WORLD. AFTER ALL IN THE PAST PEOPLE LIKE ISAAC NOW TON AND PASCHALL, AND LOUIS PASTURE WERE NOT JUST MEN OF SCIENCE BUT MEN OF FAITH WHO BELIEVED GOD CREATED THIS WORLD IN AN ORDERLY WAY THAT COULD BE STUDIED AND BENEFITTED FROM. >> AND GRONK LISTEN GRAHAM WROTE ON FACEBOOK TO HIS NEARLY 10 MILLION FOLLOWERS THAT JESUS WOULD ADVOCATE FOR PEOPLE USING THE VACCINE TO SAVE LIVES. BASE ON THE PARABLE OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN IN THE BIBLE HE SAID I WOULD SAY YES, I THINK VACCINES AND MEDICINES TREAT SUFFERING AND SAVE LIVES. THERE ARE 20,000 COMMENTS ON GRAHAM'S POST CHOCK FULL OF CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND MISINFORMATION ALONG WITH THESE TYPES OF MESSAGES LIKE SATANIC SELLOUT AND YOU, MY FRIEND FRANKLIN, GRAHAM, ARE LEADING YOUR SHEEP TO SLAUGHTER. AND FATHER I PRAY YOU WOULD OPEN MR. GRAHAM'S EYES AND STOP HIM FROM LEADING OTHERS ASTRAY. THE LOSS THIS COUNTRY HAS EXPERIENCE OVER THE PAST YEAR HAS BEEN OVERWHELMING AND MANY AMERICANS TURNED TO FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND TOPHYTE FOR COMFORT AND ANSWERS. UNFORTUNATELY FOR MANY

This news segment shows Christian evangelical pastors influencing thier parishioners to not get the COVID vaccine, or denying its existence while thier ppl are catching it at thier super spreader meetings.
Also, some believe the government is taking DNA at testing sites to create zombies. Yes, fucking zombies & they're serious.
Also shows how some flip flopped from supporting vaccination & distancing.
Edit: spelling.
Even if they do, it won’t be before they’ve stolen enough wealth from the poor to set themselves and their families up for life.
But yes, would be nice to expose them for the charlatans they are.
This insane freak is a walking meme.
I’m pretty sure this was already happening in the younger generations but the remaining believers are digging themselves in deeper. Honestly I think anyone still watching these idiots is in too deep to ever come back to reality.
It’s almost like religion is a primal way of thinking and we should’ve abandoned it centuries ago or better yet never invented it in the first place.
Con men, religious con men in particular will never go away.
I remember when Jimmy Swaggart had his prostitution controversy. It hit him hard at first, but he came back. Then just a couple years later, Jim Bakker had his tax evasion and infidelity scandal. He came back from that just fine.
I guarantee that if Joel Osteen got caught with an ounce of meth while having a threesome with two 16 year old dudes, he'd be back in a year or so.
These criminals should be locked up and the people that fall for their evil diatribe given the help they need. All religion is evil.
Anything that keeps these bullshit artists from lining their pockets with the tithings of the gullible is going to be dismissed as a lie or healed by prayer. And so we get more of the perpetual victimhood from the whiniest, greediest bastards to have walked the planet. It's stuff like this that makes me wish there actually was a judgement at the end of your life and these miserable pukes paid some kind of price. Instead they fly around in a G6 and crap in a golden toilet while extolling the virtues of the good book.
