The views that Michigan pastor Brad Spenser has expressed in public statements are extremely irresponsible and reprehensible. They show not only ignorance of the different ways the COVID-19 coronavirus can affect the people that are infected with the virus but also a lack of concern for the safety of others that to my mind is un-Christian.

See Mask Mandates Work To Slow Spread Of Coronavirus, Kansas Study Finds, Kansas issued a face mask order.
