Immer wieder sprach sich Marcus Lamb gegen die Corona-Impfung aus. In seinem Fernsehsender kamen Impfgegner und Verschwörungstheoretiker zu Wort. Nun ist der US-Prediger nach einer Covid-Erkrankung gestorben. Der US-amerikanische Fernsehprediger Marcus Lamb ist tot. Er starb bereits am vergangenen Dienstag im Alter von 64 Jahren. Lamb ist Gründer des im Bundesstaat Texas ansässigen evangelikalen Senders “Daystar Television Network” und galt als überzeugter Impfgegner. Er wurde 64 Jahre alt. (…) Seine Ehefrau Joni Lamb gab in einer Show des Senders bekannt, dass ihr Mann in eine Klinik eingeliefert worden sei, nachdem er sich mit dem Coronavirus angesteckt habe. (…) Lamb empfahl seinen Zuschauern, statt einer Impfung zu beten. In einer Sendung Anfang des Jahres bezeichnete der Evangelist die Vakzine als “experimentelle Injektionen”, die “gefährlich” seien. Menschen würden durch die Impfungen sterben oder neurologische Schäden davontragen. Unter weißen US-Evangelikalen ist die Quote der Impfverweigerer deutlich höher als in anderen religiösen Gemeinschaften.
