After President Joe Biden (D) addressed the nation about the growing menace of the omicron variant of COVID-19 and his plan for combatting the global pandemic, Alabama GOP gubernatorial candidate Dean Odle responded saying: “I would not trust that man or anyone in his administration to walk one of my dogs.”

Odle called the Biden administration an example of a "rogue federal government" and said here in Alabama, state leadership is mirroring that.

“We saw Kay Ivey cave to their shutdown suggestions in 2020 and her recent do-nothing executive order was just political theatre for the masses," said Odle. "This is why I am running for Governor of Alabama. Our state MUST elect a strong, conservative outsider in 2022 who is willing to do whatever is necessary to STOP federal overreach in our state. President Ronald Reagan was right when he said, 'The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help.”

The President announced that the Federal Emergency Management Agency would be setting up vaccination clinics, even though most pharmacies, hospitals, and other medical providers already vaccinate for COVID-19.

“Unlike my opponents in the Alabama gubernatorial race, I am not a 'Johnny-come-lately' to speaking out against this vaccine/FEMA camp agenda,” Odle said. “I have been warning about the problems with vaccines, pharmaceutical companies, and corrupt government institutions since 2010. In fact, I gave a 2-hour, documented presentation in May of 2010 explaining the rise of 'FEMA camps' and how FEMA would eventually be used to make a tyrannical move to take our freedoms. I warned in early 2020 that dangerous vaccines would be developed and then mandated. A good leader doesn’t just react to current events, they need to anticipate them.”

Odle has regularly made claims about forces determined to undermine the freedom and independence of the United States by controlling the public, using means of the media and FEMA Camps. In past campaign appearances, he has talked about a "new world order" that is backed by the Democrat Party and mainstream media, using the results of his own research to back his assertions. 

“As many countries go into lockdown again, talking about forced vaccinations, heavy fines or even detention in 'quarantine camps' for refusing the COVID vaccines, Biden dips his toe in the pool by dispatching FEMA and military personnel,” Odle stated. “I believe Biden and the Democrats will continue to push the envelope to see how much control they can exert over the American people. Sadly, weak, compliant Governors will let it happen.”

Odle has also been skeptical about the vaccine, its effectiveness, and its side effects.

“Dr. Robert Malone (inventor of the mRNA technology) issued a statement warning parents not to allow their children to get the COVID-19 vaccines,” Odle said. “Brandon Goodwin of the Atlanta Hawks stated that he was told to keep quiet about his season-ending health problem (blood clots in his lungs) being caused by the jab. Alabama’s own Ft. Rucker Flight Surgeon, Lt. Col. Dr. Theresa Long, has become a whistleblower on how the COVID vaccines are injuring our pilots and even some of our Army Rangers. She told these things to our group at dinner a few weeks ago and gave a sworn affidavit about it all.

“Most importantly, there are now many studies and doctors that have proven that early treatment of COVID-19 with zinc, hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin, blood thinners, anti-inflammatories, steroids, and increased vitamins C and D will save lives and keep people out of the hospital,” Odle claimed. “I know this to be true because my doctor saved me from dying of COVID-19 in August with this early treatment protocol created by Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Didier Raoult, Dr. Harvey Risch, and Dr. Pierre Kory to name a few. There was NEVER a need for experimental vaccines, nor was there a need to mandate these dangerous vaccines. Here we are almost two years later with people losing their lives, losing their jobs, being told to continue wearing masks and the federal government is moving even further into our states. In the near future, they will mandate RFID microchip vaccine passports to be implanted in your hand (probably after another planned and gain-of-function-created bioweapon is released).”

Odle is a Lee County pastor. He was recently questioned about his beliefs of so-called "conspiracy theories." Those beliefs include that the Earth is flat and that NASA faked the moon landing. After being criticized, Odle told 1819 News that he has been “viciously attacked and mocked in the Alabama press." Odle said he should be free to believe what he wants without character assassination.

Odle is challenging incumbent Gov. Kay Ivey (R) in the Republican primary. Greenville businessman Tim James, State Auditor Jim Zeigler, Kings Home President Lew Burdette, and former Ambassador to Slovenia Lindy Blanchard are also campaigning for Governor in the GOP primary.

The Republican primary is May 24, 2022.
