He founded the Christian television channel Daystar in the US state of Texas and has spoken out on television programs several times against being vaccinated against the coronavirus.
Now the presenter Marcus Lamb has died at the age of 64 after a corona infection, as reported by several US media, such as NBC and the "New York Times".
"It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Marcus Lamb, president and founder of Daystar Television Network, has gone home to be with the Lord," the station tweeted.
Lamb's wife Joni had previously asked to pray for the moderator.
"Pray specifically that his lungs will be cleared of Covid and pray that his oxygen levels will rise so we can take him home," she said, according to NBC.
Daystar and the Lambs had questioned the effectiveness of the corona vaccine several times, according to the New York Times.
In May, the couple falsely claimed that the vaccine "killed" the immune system.
Instead of getting vaccinated, "we can pray," said Marcus Lamb.
The moderator's son, Jonathan Lamb, described his father's Covid 19 disease as a "spiritual attack by the enemy".
Marcus Lamb last appeared on Ministry Now on November 3rd and coughed several times during the hour-long show.
