Pastor Says Church Event Tied to Deadly COVID Outbreak Was ‘What God Wanted Us to Do’ – By Daniel Villarreal (Newsweek) / Nov 17 2021
Pastor Robert Smith of the Gospel Light Baptist Church in Amherst, a city in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, has said, “I followed what God wanted us to do,” when discussing a recent event at his church, which has since been linked to three recent COVID-19 deaths.
At the end of October, the church hosted a multi-day gathering of faith groups across Nova Scotia. Over 100 people attended. They weren’t required to wear face masks or show proof of vaccination beforehand, which violated public health orders, officials told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC).
A guest at the event allegedly caused an outbreak at Rupert House, a local group home for those with intellectual disabilities, in Amherst.
The outbreak led to the death of Victoria Harrison, a 64-year-old vaccinated woman who lived in the house. Harrison died November 10, one week after being diagnosed with COVID-19. At the time of her diagnosis, she was already suffering from pneumonia.
