Failed GOP candidate who denounced Pete Buttigieg's "homo-ocracy" gets COVID after claiming immunity


"I can't get it, cause I've talked to God about it, and I've taken my vaccine, and my vaccine is Psalm 91!"

By Alex Bollinger Wednesday, November 18, 2020

E.W. Jackson – a failed Republican Senate candidate, conservative pundit, and Christian pastor with a long history of extreme anti-LGBTQ statements – has been diagnosed with the COVID-19 virus after he claimed he couldn’t get it because “I’ve taken my vaccine, and my vaccine is Psalm 91.”

In a Facebook Live sermon earlier this week, Jackson said that both he and his wife had been diagnosed with the novel coronavirus even after claiming multiple times that he wouldn’t get it.

“I’m not gonna get the coronavirus. I’m not gonna give anybody the coronavirus, cause I can’t get it, cause I’ve talked to God about it,” he said in a sermon this past March. He referred to Psalm 91, which says in part: “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty… surely he will save you… from the deadly pestilence.”

Most Christians do not understand that passage to mean that they are impervious to contagious disease. In that sermon, Jackson said “of course [Christians] can” get coronavirus.

“But here’s what I’m saying: You don’t have to. If you know how to believe God, you don’t have to. Hallelujah. And if you don’t have to, then don’t,” he explained.

Cult followers .. I just don’t understand any of them. God gave us a brain so why not show your appreciation and use it?

Naw, man, you've got to rip that page out of the Bible, burn it into a fine ash and snort it all the way up your nose. That's the only it works, bruh.*
