One of the first deaths in Virginia from coronavirus was a
66-year-old Christian “musical evangelist” who fell ill while on a trip
to New Orleans with his wife. As the Friendly Atheist’s Hemant Mehta points out, Landon Spradlin had previously shared opinions that the pandemic was the result of “mass hysteria” from the media.
On March 13, Spradlin shared a misleading meme that compared coronavirus deaths to swine flu deaths and suggested the media is using the pandemic to hurt Trump. In the comments, Spradlin acknowledged that the outbreak is a “real issue,” but added that he believes “the media is pumping out fear and doing more harm than good”
“It will come and it will go,” he wrote.
That same say, he shared a post
from another pastor that told the story of a missionary in South Africa
who “protected” himself from the bubonic plague with the “Spirit of
God.”
