Televangelist: Dont Bother Getting a Flu Shot Since Jesus Got One For All Of Us
February 1, 2018 by Hemant Mehta
Televangelist Gloria Copeland would like you all to know that you dont have to get a flu shot even though flu deaths are happening at record highs right now.
And why dont you need the vaccine? Because Jesus gave us a metaphorical flu shot when He died for us therefore magic.Listen partners, we dont have a flu season, Gloria Copeland said. And dont receive it when somebody threatens you with, Everybody is getting the flu. Weve already had our shot, He bore our sicknesses and carried our diseases. Thats what we stand on.
Praying for those who may already have the flu, Copeland proclaimed, Flu, I bind you off the people in the name of Jesus. Jesus himself gave us the flu shot, He redeemed us from the curse of flu. Those who dont have the flu, she promised, can protect themselves by simply declaring, Ill never have the flu.
Inoculate yourself with the word of God, Copeland advised.
In case youre wondering, no credible medical association has ever said you can prevent diseases by scaring them off with the name of Jesus.
Im not surprised she doesnt give a damn about how serious this epidemic is. After all, if the flu hits her community, she can just hop onto her husband Kenneth Copelands $65 million private jet and fly to safety.

That anyone listens to this kind of utter nonsense is truly amazing.
