Anti-Vaccine Pastor Hospitalized with COVID
Conservative pastor Rick Wiles has apparently fallen ill with COVID-19 after condemning the vaccines that fight the disease, baselessly claiming they are being used to carry out a "global genocide."
Wiles—the founder of the conspiracy-promoting TruNews website and the senior pastor of Flowing Streams Church in Florida—asserted on this show in April that he would not get vaccinated against COVID-19 and would survive the "global genocide."
"I am not going to be vaccinated," he said. "I'm going to be one of the survivors. I'm going to survive the genocide. You and I are witnessing the world's first mass murder and it is being led by Satan's team on the planet. You have to survive it. Do not get vaccinated. The only good thing that will come out of this is a lot of stupid people will be killed off. If the vaccine wipes out a lot of stupid people, well, we'll have a better world."
Today in an email from the spokesperson:
"Rick is very much in need of your continued prayers. He was taken to the emergency room, and under medical advice, was admitted to the hospital. He is currently on oxygen and is expected to remain there for a number of days.
[His wife] Susan remains ill, but also needs your prayers as well. We would request that you would pray for healing for her body, but that you will also pray that the Lord will give her peace regarding Rick's condition.
Already, the naysayers and mockers have started with their taunts. Let them speak their foolish words and let them mock. It will only serve to be used to fuel their flames of torment in hell, unless they repent.
If I know Rick, and I believe I do, this attack of the enemy will only serve to strengthen his resolve to speak against the forces of darkness. We will say it again: NO weapon formed against us shall prosper! NONE!"
