Pastor Who Claimed Covid-19 ‘Hysteria’ Was Plot Against Trump Dies From Virus

Conspiracy Revelation: 29.3.2020: Objectivism and Gnosis (empiric knowingness) is always superior to subjective belief systems in this natural (descended) world with natural enemies: „Nature works according to eternal, necessary, divine laws in such a way that the deity itself could not change anything about it. (J.W. Goethe)[2344]“
„Pastor Who Claimed Covid-19 ‘Hysteria’ Was Plot Against Trump Dies From Virus“
„Religious Ignorance Kills: Landon Spradlin, a Virginia pastor who claimed the “mass hysteria” around the coronavirus pandemic was part of a media plot against Trump, has died from the virus.
The 66-year-old father and husband from Virginia died due to complications from COVID-19 on Wednesday morning in North Carolina.
While on the way home from a mission trip, Spradlin collapsed and was taken to a hospital in Concord, North Carolina. He was eventually put on a ventilator as his condition worsened.
According to reports, Spradlin, a 66-year-old Christian “musical evangelist,” fell ill while on a missionary trip to New Orleans with his wife.
…
On his Facebook page Spradlin shared a misleading meme attempting to minimize COVID-19, comparing the virus to the swine flu, and suggesting that the response to the coronavirus pandemic was media created “mass hysteria” to damage Trump: Spradlin also shared a post from a pastor claiming that a missionary in South Africa “protected” himself from the bubonic plague with the “Spirit of God.” A quote from the post reads:
As long as I walk in the light of that law [of the Spirit of life], no germ will attach itself to me.
The stupid, it kills.
The following is a sample of the reactions to Spradlin’s death via Twitter:

On March 13, Pastor Landon Spradlin shared this post suggesting #COVID19 is a hoax. On March 24th he died of that hoax.
You can thank Trump and @FoxNews for perpetuating that narrative.
