Prominent Christian televangelist and anti-vaccine advocate Marcus Lamb died after being hospitalized with Covid-19, his family announced Tuesday.
Lamb founded Christian television network Daystar Television Network in 1997.
His wife Joni Lamb, announced the televangelist's death on Daystar's program streamed to Facebook Tuesday. She said her husband had diabetes but was healthy and was hospitalized after being diagnosed with Covid-19.
"He never talked about that, but he had diabetes, but he kept it in check. He was very healthy, he ate healthy, he kept his weight down, and always kept his sugar at a good level. But with trying to treat Covid and the pneumonia, the different protocols that are used, including many of the protocols we talked about here on Daystar, and we used those, and I used them and breezed through Covid.
Marcus Lamb often spoke out against the Covid-19 vaccines on his show. In an episode earlier this year featuring anti-vaccine activists Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Del Bigtree, Lamb said the Covid-19 vaccine was "not really a vaccine," but an "an experimental shot" that was "dangerous. Marcus Lamb alleged that people were dying or having neurological disorders from the vaccine.
Marcus Lamb's son, Jonathan Lamb, described his father's Covid-19 diagnosis as a "spiritual attack from the enemy" as he hosted the show on November 23. "There's no doubt in my mind that this is a spiritual attack from the enemy. As much as my parents have gone on here to kind of inform everyone about everything going on in the pandemic and some of the ways to treat Covid, there's no doubt that the enemy is not happy about that, and he's doing everything he can to take down my dad," Jonathan Lamb said.
MY heart goes out to his family and loved ones. The bolded though has me scratching my head.
 
Oh lordy, a conspiracy about the death. Gotta keep the grifting "Christian" network going, I guess. I'm sure running with a looney ass "enemy took him down" theory will bring in the donations. After all, the church needs another airplane or two.

Henry, based on the family's religious beliefs, I took "the enemy" in the son's statement to mean the devil or Satan. I might be wrong, but it seems to kind of fit--especially since he refers to the "enemy" with a singular "he."

His followers were probably not educated and worldly. Needless suffering and death, including his.

They need a justification for what is happening so they create one.

It's sad when religion and mental illness go hand in hand, but he is literally blaming the devil for the sickness and trying to say they are still correct about COVID and the way it should be handled.

So, basically, when dramatically proven incorrect, the mentally ill will simply tell a story that still has them completely in the right.
