    Are you looking for an actual answer? From Wikipedia:

    In April 2020, Harrelson made a post on Instagram promoting the conspiracy theory that claims a link between 5G networks and COVID-19, which was later deleted.[58] In May 2022, Harrelson said he “doesn’t believe in the germ theory” and found the use of face masks as a preventative measure against COVID-19 to be “absurd”, adding, “I’m sick of like, you’re wearing a mask, and you think it contains your breath—but if it did you’d die, you’d be breathing in your own carbon monoxide [sic].”

      “I’m sick of like, you’re wearing a mask, and you think it contains your breath—but if it did you’d die, you’d be breathing in your own carbon monoxide [sic].”

      JFC. How do these people believe this when it’s so easily disprovable! Just last month I put a mask on when I got to the airport for a 14 hour flight to Europe, and didn’t take it off until I was waiting for my friend to pick me up at the other end of the journey. Also slept through half the flight with the mask on.

      I’m still alive.

      edit: Hilariously I didn’t even realize until just now that he said carbon monoxide not carbon dioxide. What a moron.

      Well that’s, something. People who clearly don’t know anything about science probably shouldn’t talk about it.

      “5g causes covid”, “I don’t believe in germ theory”. Pick one.
