Dr. Jimmy DeYoung, Sr., a conservative Christian radio host, has died in Chattanooga of Covid-19, according to his family. “Prophecy Today” was broadcast daily over several hundred stations.

In February, DeYoung published an interview promoting the conspiracy theories that the Pfizer vaccine would make women sterile and that world governments were using the virus and vaccine to centralize power. DeYoung’s guest at the time, Sam Rohrer, said that very few people who were infected lost their lives, calling the vaccine only a “purported solution” and “not truly a vaccine.”
Jimmy DeYoung’s website:
“Jimmy DeYoung is a prophecy teacher and journalist who travels the country and the world educating the Body of Christ of the future events foretold in God's prophetic Word.”
It does not take a doctorate in prophecy to see most of his listeners will be suffering from the same infection.
- DeYoung is becoming part of a trend:

- Dick Farrel, a longtime conservative radio host based in Palm Beach County, Florida, who was skeptical of the seriousness of the coronavirus pandemic and refused to get vaccinated, has died of COVID-19.
- Phil Valentine, yet another conservative talk show host in Nashville, is in “grave condition” according to his family. Valentine had been skeptical of Covid vaccines, but his family is now encouraging others to get the shots.
- Marc Bernier, a Daytona Beach talk show commentator who has spoken against vaccinations, has been hospitalized for more than a week with Covid.

38. My sympathy is extremely limited these days
These right-wingers and televangelicals who have chosen to deny what COVID can do and deterred tens of thousands of people from getting vaccinations did untold damage while they were spry and healthy. Their hospitalizations or deaths are delivering effective rebuttals to the misinformation and lies they were peddling not so long ago.
So as ye sow, so shall ye reap.
