The pandemic has fleshed a wealth of fresh derangement out of conservative figures who already had demonstrated a pretty high capacity for it. Dennis Prager, however, is putting his anti-vaxx colleagues to shame. The 73-year-old radio host, perhaps best known for trying to pass off conservative propaganda videos as reputable under the name “PragerU,” has been projectile vomiting Covid misinformation since the pandemic began.
Prager claimed last year that the disease is “not a killer” while continually drawing and erasing and re-drawing the line for when the U.S. should take real action to combat it. He even called the lockdown “the greatest mistake in the history of humanity.” He’s since touted a number of unproven therapeutics, including the “Zelenko Protocol,” a treatment plan developed by conspiracy theorist doctor and Jan. 6 rally attendee Vladimir Zelenko.
Always the asshole. That's what they do. Covid find him, please...
The phrase you used "Covid find him" strikes a deep resonance with me! I can see myself using it yesterday in Costco, where everybody is (as State regs require) masked except a woman with 2 pre-teen daughters. I also think I would want to slip the kids the phone # for the Abuse Hotline.
@AnneWimsey I sorta thought better of Prager; I didn't think he'd stoop to using outright hate-speech, but that is now the norm for MAGAs. Specifically, comparing slavery or the Holocaust to the inconveniences of fighting the pandemic. GQP actually only use the pandemic as an excuse to minimize the horrors of slavery and the Holocaust; it's a device for insulting Blacks and Jews, and thus to "own the libs." Prager claims to be a Jew, but he's certainly qualifies as scum by supporting inhumane conservative values.
