I think the California Pastor contracted the virus at the march and then took it to the Rose Garden. There is a better than 50 percent chance Pence was exposed to COVID-19 at the Graham March.
Graham advocates prayer, church, and god as the way to survive an onslaught of a deadly virus. He DOES NOT advocate masks, distancing, or hand hygiene. I think Mr. Graham needs to be reviewed as a mass spreader.
These folks need to be called out when they don't follow the recommendations of doctors and authorities like the CDC, FDA, NIH, and WHO. Evangelicals are a global force on Earth. They could be causing some of the rise in COVID-19 cases globally. They are known for religious prejudice that causes harm to people.
Charlotte - Thousands of Americans (click here) have called a 24/7 COVID-19 prayer line started by the Charlotte-based Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, president and CEO Franklin Graham said Saturday.
“Early this week, we began airing a 60-second evangelistic message on TV across the entire United States, and we have had thousands of people call,” the evangelist posted in a coronavirus ministry update.
“Maybe your heart has been gripped by fear as millions of others have because of the coronavirus pandemic,” Graham posted on Facebook on March 21 when he announced the prayer line, 888-388-2683.
“But I want you to know that God loves you, He made you, He created you, He knows everything about your life,” Graham continued. “You don’t need to be afraid. Jesus said I’ll never leave you nor forsake you.”
The March 21 post has drawn 56,000 likes and 26,000 shares.
On Saturday, Graham urged people who “are struggling with worry in the midst of this crisis” to call the line.
