Is NewsMax Host, Rob Schmitt suggesting that his audience should be wiped out by covid? [View all]

You ever notice these folks never count themselves among the people God chose to wipe out with disease?

Newsmax host Rob Schmitt suggests vaccines are

“against nature,” and some diseases are “supposed to wipe out a certain amount of people”

“That's just kind of the way evolution goes. Vaccines kind of stand in the way of that”
