On December 1 2020, TV channel Loveworld aired a 29-hour programme called the Global Day of Prayer, during which claims were made about the coronavirus pandemic.
These claims included the notion that the outbreak was ‘planned’, that the ‘sinister’ vaccine can be used to implant ‘nanochips’ that can control and cause harm to members of the public and the debunked theory that the virus was somehow caused by 5G.
Following an investigation by Ofcom, the communications regulatory body concluded that the programme breached broadcasting rules by sharing ‘potentially harmful’ claims about Covid-19.
This marks the second time in a year that Ofcom has ruled against Loveworld for making unsubstantiated statements about coronavirus.
The firm previously instructed Loveworld not to repeat the programme following its broadcast and to air a summary of its decision three times in one day.
The hefty fine has since come into the equation after Ofcom concluded Loveworld’s breach of broadcasting guidelines were ‘serious, repeated and reckless’.
In a statement released by Ofcom to Metro.co.uk, it said that the TV channel posed a risk of ‘serious harm’ to viewers who tuned in to watch the programme.
‘Loveworld’s failure to put these unsubstantiated statements into context risked serious harm to its audience,’ the statement said.
Ofcom added that Loveworld had the ‘potential’ to make people question the measures put in place to protect against Covid-19.
‘They had the potential to undermine confidence in public health measures put in place to tackle Covid-19 – at a time when cases, hospital admissions and deaths were rising in the UK, and when people were looking for reliable information given advances in the vaccination programme,’ the firm stated.
Loveworld is a religious TV channel from an Evangelical Christian denomination with a global network of churches.
It is broadcast on satellite for viewers in the UK

ReplyDelete🤣😂🤣😂🤣
DeleteWhat if it's true, just asking.
ReplyDeleteAfterall US and 12 states are angry at the report they released about the origin of corona virus
It’s not true, just telling. Believe Chris at your own peril.
DeleteI prefer it when Pastors focus on their calling and teach more about Christ principle
ReplyDeleteBut not everybody has calling and some have lost their own so off to YouTube to mix and match horror stories. The hustle is real.
DeleteMy Aunt lives on Loveworld! Errday, 247. Can remember when she came telling us about this nanochip and mind control theory. Haha, we almost pissed ourselves laughing, thought she was joking ooo until we saw her unsmiling face. Sis was not amused.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad when religious leaders decide to use their huge platform to "misyarn", not only does it mislead people, it ridicules the ministry.
My ex boyfriend goes to his church. They’re so brainwashed it’s ridiculous. 🤦🏾♀️
ReplyDeleteVery Ridiculous. The first time I entered that church was my last time. Come see daylight robbery in the name of tithe
DeleteAnd their girls like sex more than bible and breakfast.
DeleteChris should stop misleading people abeg
ReplyDeleteHahahaha. Laughing at y'all. Fine my foot. Una eyes go soon clear
ReplyDeleteA relative of mine that attends his church visited my house and was talking same rubbish about the vaccine turning into nanochip in human body. I bared her from visiting us onwards. The woman thought I was joking. I stressed it to her in very strong terms not to visit my house without having the vaccine,she was very upset. I didn't care about the way my wife felt for reprimanding our guest. The woman was obviously brainwashed from church doctrine.
ReplyDeleteBros, you do well. I remember those years when my uncle served time in this man's mental prison till his God-given intelligence kicked in and he japa never to look back. It's like virtual reality. We still have one relative tied up there. Even to see him, you must drop love seed.
Deleteit's well 🙏
ReplyDeleteNa wa...
ReplyDeleteWhether Pastor Chris is asking you to take the vaccine or not, I believe everyone has some level of reasoning capabilities to make that choice for himself/herself. So please leave Pastor Chris alone and do what suits you, period!!!
ReplyDeletePastor Chris should leave people alone and stop living in the dark crevices of YouTube where conspiracies reign. He was the one that spread a lie and he should be scolded for it. When he sneaks to take this vaccine like his Short Fused friend, he should post the pictures o
