DeAnna Lorraine, who transitioned a failed 2020 congressional campaign into a full-time career spreading conspiracies as ultra right-wing pundit, has announced she will not take one of the COVID-19 vaccines even “if Jesus takes it.”
Of course, he’d have to show up again in order for that to happen, which may be a very real possibility in Lorraine’s mind.
The comments came via her Infowars program, which she typically uses to pray at the altar of Donald Trump.
On this segment, however, Lorraine had a bone to pick with her cult leader president, who has voiced support for the soon-to-be-available vaccines.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Apparently Donald Trump just said he’s willing to take the vaccine also live on TV,” Lorraine complained. “I don’t like this. You know, Trump, probably 80 percent of your base does not want that vaccine. They are not willing to take a foreign, rushed substance and jab it into our arms. I don’t care who takes it. I don’t care if Jesus takes it, I’m not taking the vaccine.”
“It’s weird, and it makes me feel uncomfortable that President Trump is jumping on the bandwagon with Obama and the Clintons and Bill Gates and now Fauci and Cuomo, saying they’re going to take this live on TV,” she went on.
“We don’t care. In fact, you know, the more you guys do this weird, desperate attempt to try to convince us that the vaccine is safe that was rushed at warp speed, the more uneasy I feel with the vaccine. So, President Trump, if you’re smart, if you don’t want to lose your base of support, please don’t keep jumping on this vaccine bandwagon and saying you’re gonna join these clowns and take the vaccine live on TV.”
To contrast, here’s how Joel Ernst, Chief Professor of medicine at UCSF’s Division of Experimental Medicine, assesses the situation:
I would say it’s a personal decision on when to be vaccinated, not whether to be vaccinated. It’s a societal imperative if we are to overcome this pandemic that all of us who can get vaccinated must get vaccinated. The recent data on safety and efficacy of three of the COVID-19 vaccines indicate that some of us will make that decision soon.
To make sure a vaccine is safe for everyone, I’d personally feel most comfortable with six months of data from phase III testing. Knowing that a vaccine has been tested in a broad population of people – not just 21-year-old, physically fit volunteers, but also people with underlying health conditions – will reassure me that it’s safe even from the perspective of rare side effects.

Vaccines are safe. Yes, even the ones for covid. If you’re not a biologist, STFU.
Dez
just like the polio vaccine was safe right?… oh wait, it wasn’t.

Just shows how so called “christians” are clueless when it come to the Nazarene

Well, if DeAnna chooses not to take the vaccine, maybe she’ll get the chance to meet Jesus sooner than she thinks.

Her and the other “80%” of the fear mongering, conspiracy believing, radical right wing morons will meet Jesus or more aptly, Satan, the better off we’ll be. So go on you idiots, lick some door knobs, gather by the thousands without masks, kiss each other it’s all good.

Yes hopefully anyone that refuses to be vaccinated will suffer from the consequences, and hopefully those will be fatal. Stupidity like gets needs to die out.
missvamp
amen- let darwinism do it’s job.

Like I care if she and her buddies don’t choose to get the vaccine? They’ll be just more casualties who eventually get covid. I have no problem being vaccinated, especially if it means I’m going to come into contact with people like her.

Natural selection. Darwin would understand.

I can really appreciate the comment by Dr. Joel Ernst above. It’s unusual to see a Professor of Medicine not give the simple answer of “you got to take it asap”. His response makes great sense for anyone who isn’t “21 and healthy”. Contrary to popular belief, not all vaccines are safe for everyone. I understand all 3 Covid vaccines in the works have been blind studied, which makes me feel good since the manufacturers supposedly have zero influence in the testing or results. Still, like many recent medicines that have been tested and approved, there have been several prove to be dangerous after extended observation of them in the general population. I hope the reported side effects of the current 2- dose vaccine aren’t so severe that people opt out of taking the second dose and nullifying the whole process. It’s said that you can expect to feel fairly beat up after taking the vaccine. We all need to be prepared for feeling bad and push thru both doses.

It’s cute how you try to insert all that B.S. about medicines being unsafe etc.
You just can’t help trolling can you?

The part that should upset true Christians is that she sets herself above Jesus. She is saying she wouldn’t do it even if he did, something that should enrage other evangelicals. You can tell Republicans aren’t religious, it’s just all about their hate, bigotry and conspiracies.
Man About Town
Maybe she’ll reconsider if Michelle Bachman takes it…
Heywood Jablowme
Jesus will take the vaccine right after he gets done with His Xbox game.
Mister P
The fact that she believes in Jesus and doesn’t trust vaccines proves she is stupid.

Darwin. Oh, and “Jesus wept.”
