I wonder if this guy understands the situation:
Amid recent surging coronavirus cases in Florida, a top Republican National Committee official in the state has spread anti-vaccine rhetoric and misinformation, comparing the Biden administration’s vaccine efforts to Nazi-era “brown shirts,” and twice calling the vaccines “the mark of the beast,” comparable to a “false god.”
A review by CNN’s KFile found that Peter Feaman, a lawyer and RNC committeeman from Florida made the comments on his blog the “The Backhoe Chronicles,” which he publishes regularly in a private group on MeWe. The social media platform bills itself as the “anti-Facebook” app.
“The Biden brown shirts are beginning to show up at private homes questioning vaccine papers,” Feaman wrote on July 20, incorrectly implying government officials would be showing up at people’s homes to question their vaccination status, comparing them to the Nazi Party paramilitary wing.
…
In May, Feaman called Covid-19 vaccines a “mark of the beast” — a reference to a symbol from the biblical Book of Revelations showing allegiance to Satan — and called Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer “diabolical” for encouraging vaccines. “Diabolical Michigan Governor Whiter wants her citizens to get the Mark of the Beast to participate in society,” Feaman wrote. [CNN/Politics]
This guy Feaman is preaching a behavior that will lead to sickness and death to those who hear and obey.
Other Republican doctrines have the potential to heavily arm these same people, as well as their potentially very angry relatives.
He could end up dead for his irrational preaching.
And that’s what it is. If we’re to trust our fellow citizens, who are scientists and study this sort of thing all their adult lives, it appears to be safe and effective to be vaccinated, at least so far. Feaman preaches distrust and disrespect.
If you’re a believer, remember this: the Divine, whatever it is, brought into being reality. Scientists study that reality, and are in that regard far more holy than mere pastors and prophets and lawyers like this guy – because they have implemented and try to improve verification procedures for those studies.
This guy just wants to retain his position of power and prestige, and he sees science as a threat because it has a claim on Truth that rivals and exceeds his.
I fear he may be endangering himself with his thirst for this power.
