Now, it’d be one thing if the Bee was just trying to make a couple bucks with irreverent merch. But Dillon and the new team seem to believe in vaccine trutherism…

In a way, the progress of the Babylon Bee mirrors what has happened to a lot of American Christian organizations over the last few years, both protestants and denizens of the One True Church. The Christian Post became Breitbart for Believers. Liberty University became the MAGA Strayer University. First Things became Theocracy Monthly. And the Babylon Bee turned into the Federalist’s humor vertical.
