Michael Porter Jr. said the coronavirus is being used “for a broader agenda” during a Snapchat question-and-answer session on Tuesday.
The Nuggets rookie made the statement after responding to an interrogator who asked if the virus was being used to scare people.
“(It) is being used for population control in terms of being able to control the masses,” he said. “Due to the virus, everyone is being controlled. I mean, you should wear masks, and who knows what will happen when this vaccine comes out? You may have to be vaccinated to travel. “
Porter, who arrived in Orlando weeks after his teammates and only played for the first time on Monday night, added that he had never been vaccinated in his life.
During his post-game Zoom session with reporters, Porter said he had been fighting 5-on-5 with his friends while at his home in Missouri because “the boys down there really weren’t paying much attention to the virus from the start “
He went on to say during the Q&A on Tuesday that “it is definitely an agenda behind everything that is happening right now.” All you can do is sit back and watch what’s going on, not get too emotionally involved. It is serious, it is real, but yes, it is being exaggerated. “
As of Tuesday night, the United States was close to 150,000 COVID deaths.
