Jacob McMorris was a parishioner of Tony Spell's Life Tabernacle Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana during the 2020s. In April 2021, he was interviewed by CNN correspondent Elle Reeve amid the COVID-19 pandemic (during which Spell had exhorted his followers not to follow COVID guidelines, wear masks, or take vaccines), and he stated his belief that he never liked the idea of vaccines, even though he acknowledged that they worked medically.
