Anti-Vax Flat Earth Preacher Rob Skiba Dies From COVID-19

Anti-Vax Flat Earth Preacher Rob Skiba Dies From COVID-19

"The one scenario that really does appear to be coming into focus is the likelihood that within I’d say 2 to 3 years or so... one of us will probably be dead," Skiba posted to Facebook to those getting vaccinated.
By Ed Scarce


Skiba was calling vaccine mandates the "mark of the beast" from Revelations way back in 2012. He thought COVID-19 vaccinations were dangerous, posting on Facebook, "To those who disagree with my position on our current situation... One of us is right,” he wrote.

Rob Skiba made a really bad bet.


Rob Skiba, an influential figure in flat earth and Christian circles, has died of COVID-19, colleagues announced on Thursday. He had been fighting the virus since at least late August, when he began exhibiting symptoms after “Take On The World,” a biblical flat earth conference. “He has been sick since coming back from TOTW,” a Facebook friend posted in early September, adding that Skiba had been hospitalized for low oxygen levels. One of the country’s most prominent advocates of Flat Earth Theory, Skiba was also skeptical of COVID-19 vaccines and some of the illness’ treatments. On the first day of the Take On The World conference, Skiba authored a Facebook post suggesting that the COVID-19 vaccines were dangerous.

‘To those who disagree with my position on our current situation... One of us is right,” he wrote. “Unless YHWH miraculously intervenes, based on what I’m seeing/hearing, the one scenario that really does appear to be coming into focus is the likelihood that within I’d say 2 to 3 years or so... one of us will probably be dead. Truly, I take no joy in saying this, nor will I if I'm the one still standing.”

Allow me to retort, preacher. I’m happy that you’re no longer sucking good air and bloviating it back in people’s faces. Your screed contributed to sickness and death, and the spherical world is better off without you. At one time, I would endeavor to avoid deriving satisfaction from your demise as a fomenter of ignorance, but I can no longer indulge that luxury. The stakes are too massive to pretend that your very visible demise is anything but a blessing for humanity - worthy of rejoicing.

You’ve spent months scoffing about the COVID 19 vaccines’ effectiveness and decrying their use. And, unlike the hypocrites at Faux Cable Noise, you didn’t get vaccinated on the sly. Now the COVID killed you while the prudent and the secular got their shots. They’re still here, you’re not.

Your final message was “Maybe it’s better to get vaccinated” whether you like it or not.
