Anti-vaccine preacher dies of COVID-19

TV preacher who has repeatedly opposed vaccinations dies due to COVID-19

Multiple anti-vaccination TV evangelist Markus Lamb died after contracting COVID-19. This was reported on Twitter by the conservative Christian broadcaster Daystar Television, which Lamb founded.

Lamb passed away at the age of 64. His wife said that after the infection, her husband developed pneumonia, but he kept everything under control. She noted that her husband followed the advice on treatment, which were allegedly voiced by experts in the programs of his television company, because he “believed 100 percent in everything they said.”

Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, Daystar Television has been spreading misinformation about vaccines. Some guests on airtime promoted conspiracy theories and treatments for COVID-19 that have nothing to do with medicine. For example, one of the doctors on the air advised the treatment of coronavirus with hydroxychloroquine.

The Daystar Television Network, headquartered in Texas, is the largest Christian network in the United States and the second largest in the world, reaching over two billion viewers worldwide.
