According to social media posts (below), Marcus is in the ICU with COVID. This is significant because Marcus is responsible for promoting and spreading more anti-vaxx and pro-alternative treatment disinformation to more people than anyone on sorry-anti-vaxxer so far. In fact, he's claimed that he and his wife Joni have been taking Ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, and vitamins and minerals as a preventative. Apparently that didn't work out for him. Marcus and Joni own Daystar Television Network the second largest Christian Network in the World behind CBN. Throughout the pandemic, they have been hosting and promoting the most notorious anti-vaxxers in the world, many of whom are members of the despicable American Frontline Doctors which is being investigated by Congress for fraudulent practices and spreading misinformation. Marcus and Joni's guests on Daystar have been the likes of RFK, jr., Dr. Sherri Tenpenny (she told lawmakers that vaccines magnetize people), Dr. Lee Merritt, Dr. Simone Gold (founder of AFLD, and arrested during the Jan 6 attack on the Capital), Del Bigtree (CEO of antivaxx network), Dr. Rashid Buttar (who has claimed all vaccinated would be dead by 2025). You can see all of these performances at https://vaccines.daystar.com or you can stick with me here and I'll show you the one that is the most revealing and infuriating.
Rather than post some quotes or screenshots of tweets, I think the best thing to do is to see Marcus and Joni in action hosting Dr. Ryan Cole, the owner of Cole Diagnostics, a company which conveniently enough offers COVID testing. He's a fountain of disinformation, and obviously and intentionally misrepresenting statistics. The following interview is a scripted tsunami of disinformation pretending to be an interview. They touch on every single anti-vaxx argument we've seen on this site over the past four months. Why Doctors like Ryan Cole haven't been stripped of their medical licenses over this kind of performance is a testament that something has to change. These Christian grifters and these MD quacks are causing countless amounts of suffering and death.
First, he's introduced as having 350,000 "patients" and later he says he has had 100,000 covid patients. He didn't have patients, his lab Cole Diagnostics was conducting lab tests. Before COVID, these tests were run for other doctors and clinics, so they weren't his patients as he claims. During the pandemic, they did blood tests for people coming in to several partner clinics to test for COVID. Again it's a stretch to call these people HIS patients. This is the first sign that he's pulling the wool over the audiences eyes. It's also possible that as part of the AFLD Telemedicine group he may have prescribed 100,000 people with Ivermectin at $90 a pop. They never mention that expense only that ivermectin is $4 a box.

(7,304 posts)When are real Christians going to stand up and tell all these ministers, who flout their disrespect for their Ten Commandments and their 'savior's ' words, to go to hell?
I mean large scale. On prime time TV? Until they do the whole Christian religion is being judged.
At least in my mind.
False Prophets indeed.
