SCOTUS Rejects Lawsuit Over Anti-Vax Videos Posted By Ministry Whose Founder Died Of Something In 2021

The Christian Post reports:

The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from the Daystar Television Network, which is suing Vimeo over the website’s decision to remove multiple anti-vaccine videos uploaded by the Christian ministry.

In an orders list released Monday morning, the high court denied certiorari without comment in the case of Word of God Fellowship v. Vimeo, Inc. et al., which allows a lower court ruling against Daystar to remain in effect.

In November 2021, Daystar joined the American Family Association in suing the federal government over its COVID-19 vaccine mandate, arguing that the measure violated their beliefs.

From a March 2021 report by Media Matters:

Daystar Television has repeatedly hosted notorious medical misinformers Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Del Bigtree, and Simone Gold on its flagship broadcast Ministry Now to tell viewers that COVID-19 vaccines could kill half of their recipients, to claim that vaccines would implant a tracking microchip, and to exhort people with the potentially deadly advice that  hydroxychloroquine, an ineffective and potentially dangerous COVID-19 treatment, is the best alternative to a COVID-19 vaccine.

Daystar’s founder, anti-vax televangelist Marcus Lamb, died of COVID in late November 2021 after weeks in critical condition.

His death came less than a month after his lawsuit against federal COVID mandates, which he claimed were “a sin against God’s holy word.”

In November 2020, Inside Edition busted Lamb for buying a private jet after receiving nearly $4 million in the Paycheck Protection Program bailout.

The Supreme Court turned away an appeal that would have expanded the legal liability of social media companies for content-moderation decisions. https://t.co/sJLSB6muzm
