C-Span host Greta Brawner appeared gobsmacked as she received a bizarre phone call on live television.
A Tennessee caller told Brawner she was refusing the freely available COVID-19 vaccine because she was "vaccinated by the blood of Jesus Christ."
You can see the moment here:
The woman, who identified herself as "Joanne," said she was 84-years-old, a survivor of lung cancer and she didn't care that these things made her more susceptible to SARS-CoV-2.
"I don't trust CDC, I don't trust [Dr. Anthony Fauci] they all have flipped back and forth too many times."
"They've got the people so confused here in the United States."
Joanne seemed ignorant of the fact Fauci answered individual citizens' emails himself with clear and consistent instructions on what to do.
But Joanne said:
"They don't know what to do. And I'm not a sheep. I'm not going to follow everybody else."
Others were not as certain of Joanne's immunity.
It amazes me that these true believers never make the logical jump that if something is created by man (aka vaccine) that it was because God gave people the capacity to create the cure.— The Big Lie (@The Big Lie) 1627569889
My brother's partner is an ICU nurse. A few weeks ago a lady was admitted to the hospital short of breath. She was parrotting all kinds of moronic Facebook antivax garbage as well as saying God would protect her.\n\nThat lady didn't last long. She was intubated, put under and died.— Jimmy Dee (@Jimmy Dee) 1627569875
My mother was a member of a faith healer group and they achieved some wonderful things. But never once did they contradict a doctor or advise withholding medication or vaccine. Nowhere does the Bible teach AGAINST medicine. Healing is a BOTH/AND, not EITHER/OR, situation.— Sophia - Get vaxxed!!#FarmersProtest#FreePalestine (@Sophia - Get vaxxed!!#FarmersProtest#FreePalestine) 1627571644

If she gets COVID, Joanne doesn\u2019t get to go running to the hospital and take an ICU bed and ventilator. Rely on the Will of God and Jesus blood to cure you at home or accept his will to take you.— KathyLeBlanc (@KathyLeBlanc) 1627570198
Joanne added:
"And ma'am, I don't know how you feel but I trust my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. And I am vaccinated by the blood of Jesus Christ."
"And that's the main thing that we need to do is to get our country back to trusting in God and he will take care of all this Covid."
Scientific guidance changes because we learn new things.

If you want to belive Jesus helps you then thank him for giving researchers the knowledge to develop vaccines. You are spitting in his face otherwise.https://twitter.com/TeaPainUSA/status/1420754780910129154\u00a0\u2026— Terri Bartoloni (@Terri Bartoloni) 1627571580

The current strain of the virus is responsible for the majority of both infections and deaths in the unvaccinated population in the United States at the present moment, which is proof the vaccine is working.
Now that Los Angeles will require vaccination proof or weekly tests for employees, it will be interesting to see how the bible thumping, trump worshiping "God-Boy" who I have to work with reacts. He quotes @TuckerCarlson made up stats verbatim to justify his stupidity.https://twitter.com/TeaPainUSA/status/1420754780910129154\u00a0\u2026— Tim Sewell (@Tim Sewell) 1627570739

Joanne, being a survivor of lung cancer, is at particular risk of developing a severe illness if she catches SARS-Cov-2, and her refusal to get vaccinated may be the literal nail in her coffin.
We sincerely hope Joanne sees reason.
