“We don’t really need a vaccine. We need more Vitamin D… We are so frightened over this COVID. Now they’re getting us ready for the vaccine. Brothers and sisters, do you believe that Satan—Satan—is concerned about vaccinating you? Come on, brothers and sisters, you trust him—after all that he’s done to destroy us, you trust him—and your trust is sickening, because you love your enemy and you hate yourself and your friend. How could you allow him to stick a needle into you, saying he’s helping you. ‘Well, well, we have black people that are in the trials, they’re in this part and that part and they’re telling us it’s OK’…
“You notice they’re offering you money now [to get vaccoinated]? When has this devil ever offered you $1,000 or $1,500 to take a shot?...
“They’re giving you free shots of toxic waste. Free. The same lead that’s in the water in Flint is in the water in Detroit is in the water in Cleveland… is in the water in Chicago… I want you to live. God wants you to live. But if you refuse knowledge, if you love the enemy so much and are afraid of him, because he’ll tell you, ‘Alright, if you dont take this vaccine, you can’t work here’…”Louis Farrakhan, “Minister Louis Farrakhan’s Remarks at the National Afrikan/Black Leadership Summit,” Nation of Islam, December 12, 2020, 51:35, https://www.noi.org/minister-louis-farrakhan-afrikan-black-leadership/.
