Woody Harrelson Pushes Coronavirus Conspiracy Theory
by EG
Add tinfoil hats to masks and respirators on the list of supplies we'll need to get through the coronavirus pandemic. Some people, including Zombieland star Woody Harrelson, think that the spread of the virus is being caused by signals transmitted from cell phone towers. If that's true, Harrelson might have contributed to the problem when he used the high-tech network to post the conspiracy theory (which bears no resemblance to actual science) for his Instagram followers.

Wild conspiracy theories linking 5G networks to the coronavirus pandemic are being blamed for a spate of attacks on UK cellphone towers — and are even being spread by celebrities such as Woody Harrelson.
Fires at towers in Birmingham, Liverpool and Belfast have all been blamed on the conspiracy theories, UK officials said. The theories have ranged from 5G signals causing the virus, to the contagion being started as a cover-up for health maladies related to the networks.
UK Cabinet Minister Michael Gove damned the tales as “dangerous nonsense” while noting that the damaged phone lines are crucial for emergency services battling the pandemic.
Yet the conspiracy theories are quickly reaching a massive audience — thanks in parts to celebrities now sharing them with millions of people on social media.
Former “Cheers” TV star Woody Harrelson recently posted a report “about the negative effects of 5G” and its supposed role in the coronavirus pandemic to his more than 2 million Instagram followers.
“I haven’t fully vetted it I find it very interesting,” he wrote of the report claiming that “5G radiation” is “exacerbating” the contagion’s spread and making it more lethal.
