Six members of a church in Florida, all of whom were unvaccinated, died of Covid-19 in less than two weeks, a pastor said.

The Rev. George Davis of the Impact Church in Jacksonville mourned the victims Sunday in a church service livestream.

"We've had now six members of our church over the course of a couple weeks now that have passed away from Covid," Davis said. "It has just absolutely ripped our hearts apart."

“Why is your church holding another vaccination event?”

BECAUSE…6 church members have died in the last 10 days. 4 of them under 35. All healthy. All unvaccinated. And I’m tired of crying about and burying people I love.

So take the political & religious games somewhere else!!

The church hosted a Covid-19 vaccination clinic on Sunday — its second event since March when 800 people got their first dose, according to WFLA.

1. I hope he's not allowing unvaccinated people inside his services.

Obviously, for the clinics, that's exactly who has to come, though.

2. For whatever reason

The Black folks , at least the ones in the Fort Myers area, have been very hesitant to take the vaccine. This is a mostly Black church in Jacksonville and it seems the same way there

3. Four under 35! Not that deaths of older people aren't also tragedies, but...!

Good for that pastor for finally taking a stand against factional depravity.

RIP to all.

4. I wonder if someone is tracking all of these church deaths?

A lot of idiotic state governors and/or legislators granted churches and their memberships few or no restrictions on meetings (for the most part), etc., but to give credit when credit is due, some responsible churches continued to meet via online services, via large parking lots (w/ members inside their vehicles), etc.

This is six members of one church, but I do recall other deaths in other church groups thus I was wondering if anyone is keeping track of these types of deaths.

I also have to give this church some credit though, they hosted vaccination clinics for folks, like the guy said..."So take the political & religious games somewhere else!!".

Bit by bit, this monster can be wrestled to the ground and beaten. For all of the naysayers and vaccine deniers, perhaps it is time for the wrath of the rest of us against those who are enabling this horrible disease to fester and spread unabated to kick in.

If they are not vaccinated, etc., they should not be allowed to work, to shop, etc., participate in normal society events, until they are vaccinated. You kinda see this already happening where workplaces are mandating that their employees be vaccinated/wear masks 100% of the time, schools are taking such measures too, and many retail establishments are doing the same (masks on). All is takes is one idiot to continue the spread of COVID...there should be no exceptions to the vaccines (other than purely medical (allergic to components of the vaccine(s), etc.)).

5. DeSantis doesn't care about this church

I'll let you figure out why.
