As he recovers from COVID-19, San Antonio evangelist John Hagee says Jesus is the vaccine

When San Antonio megachurch pastor John Hagee was diagnosed with COVID-19 last month, his son and fellow pastor Matt Hagee extolled the "watchful care" doctors were giving his 80-year-old father.

But now that he's sufficiently recovered to return to his evangelical Cornerstone Church, the elder Hagee has chalked up his recovery to Jesus, not medical intervention.

"I bring under the authority of Jesus Christ every sickness and every disease, especially the COVID thing that's sweeping the nation," said Hagee, whose breathing difficulty and raspy voice are apparent in a clip posted by on the Friendly Atheist YouTube account. "We have a vaccine. The name is Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. Let Him sweep through this country and heal the righteous who dare to ask for it."

Hagee, seated on a throne-like white chair, tells his flock that his ability to appear during the recent service shows the Almighty's healing power.

I guess Jesus didn't much love the 1,340,000 dead humans who didn't live up to his quality of 'God fearing'?

Holier-than-thou fuk.

or whatever crazed supernatural mumbo-jumbo they believe in for like 6 months.

Rest of us intelligent people could stay in/away and let them just mingle away 'safely' under the protective care of Sky Daddy.

So many benefits there ...
