Pastor Greg Locke Claims 'Political Elites' Fake Getting Vaccinated, Inject 'Sugar Water' Instead

Pastor Greg Locke urged his followers not to get vaccinated, claiming that "political elites" pretend to get vaccinated by getting injected with "sugar water" instead.

Locke, head of the Baptist Global Vision Bible Church in Tennessee, previously predicted on multiple occasions that former President Donald Trump would remain in office—even after it was clear that President Joe Biden had won the election. Earlier this month, Locke claimed that Biden is a "fake president" and that he "stole" the election. During a Sunday sermon this week, the pastor took aim at COVID-19 vaccines.

"I have not changed my stance. I haven't softened my stance. I have strengthened, strictly my stance against the [COVID-19] vaccine," Locke asserted. Right Wing Watch first reported the pastor's remarks.

"I don't care what Pfizer—I don't care what any of the four groups do out there. Look, if you think... for one minute that those political elites actually got that vaccination, you are smoking meth in your mama's basement," the pastor argued, drawing loud applause from those attending the religious service. "Bunch of fake liars is what they are. They didn't shoot nothing in their arm but a bunch of sugar water," Locke insisted.

At the beginning of the pandemic, ministers would pack their flocks into churches, claiming COVID was a hoax, or that Jesus would protect them. Then two weeks later they'd be dead.

Damn, that could be dangerous!

Isotonic saline and it needs to be sterile as well, please! You know, 'Do no harm' Hippocratic oath and all that.

But I'm sure his audience won't notice.

But what can you expect from trumplicans, who like tRump, are too lazy to research their claims and use "alternate facts" instead? "Alternate facts" indoctination was step #1 in the trumplican plan, and it worked well with those who support the orange one. "Everything tRump touches dies" is my favorite fact from the tRump era.

I mean the blood sugar would skyrocket into a diabetic comma even for non diabetics. Just a guess but it doesn’t sound very healthy.

is probably still weighing their choice of a laser up the poop chute, or injecting Pinesol into their veins or lungs.........
Tough decision for them..........

I am more than sure Mother Nature is criticizing herself for creating the virus, and not making it so it just infected RepubliCONs and other countries politicians that have an authoritarian government.......

Like Trump, he knows his followers will believe anything, even that people inject themselves with sugar water for some bizarre reason. I wouldn't be surprised if the Pastor has secretly gotten the vaccine. That's what Trump did.

....51 for getting the vaccine.

Vaccine rates per state.
The top 16 all voted for Biden and 18 of the top 20 voted blue. BTW what is the matter with Iowa? They used to have the
highest % of college grads in the nation. I don't know if that it is true anymore. The bottom 15 states in vaccination rates
all went to Trump. Fox News is killing Americans. And so are clowns like Pastor Locke.
