    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].”

      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.

        Yeah, or at least about 20% of the people I used to be in contact with before I realized I’m much better off jettisoning them before I (or they…) do something irreparable

          I just nod and fake-smile a lot more.

          I just re-heard the “kitty litter for the furries” tale for the hundredth time (gotta be 5-6 years now, and EVERYONE can google!), yet here we are.

            I’m not cishet, and after I got told by a “moderate conservative” (according to his own definition and his voting preferences, anyhow) acquaintance that he thinks the world would be a better place if gender minorities didn’t exist, and that we’re all pretending anyhow, I realized that my life is going to be better without any sort of contact with his kind. Too many of them are either quietly or overtly literally dreaming of genocide

      Harrelson said he “doesn’t believe in the germ theory"

      Fucking what. We’re doomed, and we deserve it.
