    I’m curious; I know that he’s anti-vaccine and anti-nuclear, but how was he racist and antisemitic?

    Edit: He said that COVID racially spared Jews and Asians, which I get maybe? But that was the only one I could find, and there are certainly far more award-worthy mouths.

        So:

        1. Claiming COVID is racist, as I said, including manipulating evidence
        2. Associating with a pretty antisemitic rapper
        3. Defending Roger Waters for donning a Nazi-esque costume in a Berlin event, which, knowing what actually happens in the album referenced, I don’t see much problem with
        4. Associating with “the Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan, who regularly unleashed tirades about alleged Jewish control of media and government”
        5. Being an exemplary of Godwin’s Law (which I don’t think is really antisemitic)

        Besides association with two big antisemites, I really don’t see much in that article

      Allegedly he said that Chinese and Jewish people are more resistant to covid, but he claims he was misunderstood. That’s all I could find, since those stories dominate the search engine results pages.

      Edit: your edit popped up after I posted my response. I agree there are far worthier mouths, such as the person in the picture, and even he isn’t the final award winner. Calling people racist seems to be a knee-jerk reaction these days.
