UPDATE (11/30/21): Marcus has succumbed to COVID. See Below.
Original Post (11/14/21):
According to social media posts (below), Marcus is in the ICU with COVID. This is significant because Marcus is responsible for promoting and spreading more anti-vaxx and pro-alternative treatment disinformation to more people than anyone on sorry-anti-vaxxer so far. In fact, he's claimed that he and his wife Joni have been taking Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, and vitamins and minerals as a preventative. Apparently that didn't work out for him. Marcus and Joni own Daystar Television Network, the second largest Christian network in the world after CBN. Throughout the pandemic they have been hosting and promoting the most notorious anti-vaxxers in the world, many of whom are members of the despicable American Frontline Doctors, which is being investigated by Congress for fraudulent practices and spreading misinformation. Marcus and Joni's guests on Daystar have been the likes of RFK, jr., Dr. Sherri Tenpenny (she told lawmakers that vaccines magnetize people), Dr. Lee Merritt, Dr. Simone Gold (founder of AFLD, and arrested during the Jan 6 attack on the Capital), Del Bigtree (CEO of antivaxx network), Dr. Rashid Buttar (who has claimed all vaccinated people would be dead by 2025). You can see all of these performances at https://vaccines.daystar.com or you can stick with me here and I'll show you the one that is the most revealing and infuriating.
Rather than post some quotes or screenshots of tweets, I think the best thing to do is show you Marcus and Joni in action, hosting Dr. Ryan Cole, the owner of Cole Diagnostics, a company that (conveniently enough) offers COVID testing. He's a fountain of disinformation, intentionally misrepresenting statistics. The following interview is a scripted tsunami of disinformation pretending to be an interview. They touch on every single anti-vaxx argument we've seen on this site over the past four months. Why doctors like Ryan Cole haven't been stripped of their medical licenses over this kind of performance is a testament that something has to change. These Christian grifters and MD quacks are causing countless amounts of suffering and death.
From October 9, 2021:
Let's go through each section and find out what's real and what's not:
First, he's introduced as having 350,000 "patients" and later he says he has had 100,000 COVID patients. He didn't have patients. His lab, Cole Diagnostics, was conducting lab tests. Before COVID, these tests were run for other doctors and clinics, so they weren't his patients as he claims. During the pandemic, they did blood tests for people coming in to several partner clinics to test for COVID. Again, it's a stretch to call these people HIS patients. This is the first sign that he's pulling the wool over the audience's eyes. It's also possible that, as part of the AFLD Telemedicine group, he may have prescribed Ivermectin for 100,000 people at $90 a pop. They never mention that expense, only that ivermectin is $4 a box.
He makes safety claims for Ivermectin. It is prescribed for parasites and one dose is taken approximately every 3 months. These AFLD are recommending taking it daily? OK, suddenly we're in the not safe zone, Doctor!
Then he goes on to make a score of claims: "blocks the spike proteins from attaching to the ACE2 receptor"... only in a petri dish at high concentrations. I'm sure there are myriad poisons that do the same thing at high concentrations. They have not found a safe dose that works this way in the human body. In vitro does not imply in vivo!
They do the 'Comirnaty was approved by the FDA, but Pfizer Bio-Ntech wasn't.' Another grifter move. Comirnaty is just the brand name Pfizer chose. They are the same and it is FDA approved. These fuck heads must know that but are choosing to lie about it.
Marcus throws in his government conspiracy theories, and how the Elites are using this vaccine for population control. Ugh.
In answering a fake question from the "audience", Dr. Cole goes into the VAERS data. Another grifter technique. He surely knows the purpose and limitations of VAERS. He's choosing to mischaracterize the data, just like all the other anti-vaxxers. If we did VAERS data after drinking a bowl of hot milk the numbers would be similar. People die for all kinds of reasons AFTER they've done something else.
Then they do the "same as the flu", hell, Ryan even says it's not as bad as the flu.
AND THEN, another preplanned scripted question is about mRNA vaccine causing cancer. This is where Ryan really goes off the rails, claiming that "we're seeing" cancer go up because of these vaccines. "Thousands of patients, weeks after the shot, we're seeing stage 3 or stage 4 cancer". WTF?!
Ok, well, Marcus Lamb got COVID and has pneumonia and is in serious condition. How is that Ivermectin, Vitamin D, Quercitin, and Hydroxychloroquine working out for you?
First reported by Right Wing Watch:
Requesting prayers of course...
More prayers...
Even more prayers...there are a myriad 'prayers for Marcus Lamb' posts now:
And this is Marcus's most recent post:
We couldn't agree more, Marcus!
Get, well.
------------------UPDATES-----------------------
UPDATE (11/30/21): Marcus Lamb has died. See this story
Of course, his son Jonathan previously called Marcus' illness an "attack by the enemy":
Let's see if Jonathan, Joni, and Daystar repent and urge their viewers to get vaccinated. I doubt it, but it would be amazing.
RIP Marcus.
Marcus,
I know you were expecting to see me when you died--your eternal reward for bringing so many to me--but I was not there. YOU KNOW WHY? YOU ARE NOT VACCINATED, and I sent the vaccine to earth to save you.
Oh well, because you were so stupid, you do not get to be in my presence... but, and I say this with all honesty, you can enjoy a friend of mine's hospitality in the basement of the eternal plane... it is a bit warm, but you'll get used to that.
BURN IN HELL ASSHOLE.
Love,
Jesus
I'm not religious, but I have read the bible and how any of these charlatans or their followers can claim to identify with Christ is beyond me.
Of all the anti-vaxxers, he’s the best. God, adultery, weird smile, weird wife, he had it all. Like so many, he was in deep and had to ride that lie to the grave. RIP
Jesus cured a leper with the poke of his finger. A simple poke would have saved Marcus. A simple poke could protect his entire flock and yet even after Marcus showed them how deadly this disease is, his wife and network are actively advocating against it. These are the times when I really hope they are correct in their beliefs because no way in Hell is a just God letting these charlatans into Heaven. Just before I go to sleep at night, I imagine the looks on their faces when they find out. It makes me smile.
There's something satisfying about an antiva pastor with a platform dying from covid. I can feel the world heal, just a little bit.
