Right-wing anti-vaccine activist Sherri Tenpenny was among the gaggle of conspiracy theorists who graced the stage at the ReAwaken America rally held last weekend at right-wing pastor John Hagee’s Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas.
Addressing the crowd on Sunday, Tenpenny declared that requiring non-vaccinated individuals to undergo regular COVID-19 testing is “torture” and that giving vaccines to children is modern-day “child sacrifice” and an effort to carry out “very, very, very, very late-term abortion.”
“People have got to start saying to their bosses who are requiring them to get tested if they don’t get a shot, you need to start saying to them, ‘Torture is illegal in the United States of America, and you repeatedly testing me for being non-compliant and disobedient is torture,’” Tenpenny said. “I think that we’re going to be writing that up, and we’re going to sending it into the [Equal Employment Opportunity Commission], and we’re going to start accusing you and these policies of being torture.”
