Sully Erna from Godsmack seems...confused about some things.
During a new appearance on "The Mistress Carrie Podcast", GODSMACK frontman Sully Erna said that the coronavirus is not as deadly as health officials have made it out to be. "I'm sorry, man, and there may be some people that may get mad at me about saying this, but COVID is not a global killer," he said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). "It's doing damage, and it's certainly affecting the elderly, and we pray for them, and we are really sympathetic towards that, and that's why we're all wearing masks, that's why we're all doing our job. Because there's a lot of us that aren't afraid of COVID, and we know that we're probably gonna blow right through it. But we don't wanna roll the dice with our loved ones, so we're being responsible. But at the same time, the reality is this isn't a global killer. It's gonna pass, we're gonna get past it, and we need to get back to normal. So we have to influence the strong to get out there and start working and start going to school and doing what they need to do so we can create population immunity. That's what's gonna get us through this. And then we'll be able to get back to normal."Erna also repeated a narrative pushed by conservative media and disputed by health experts that suggested the official death count of 516,000 from the coronavirus in the U.S. was inflated."There's been a lot of things proven within the media, the news, to who's on what side of what, and whether some of this was a political agenda to begin within, whether the numbers are accurate enough to be able to base it on, those half a million people dead," Erna said. "Because there was a lot of people coming forward, a lot of doctors and everything, saying, 'Why the fuck are we being asked to put COVID on everything? Why did someone just die of pneumonia, and we have to write 'COVID'? Why did someone come in and have a heart attack, and we're being told to write 'COVID'?' So whether that half-a-million number is correct, that's the part that I feel like we need to be responsible enough to try and be optimistic about not steering people down one rabbit hole, because that's what CNN does on one side and Fox does on the other side. So CNN delivers one side of this, and Fox takes you down a different rabbit hole."He continued: "The thing with COVID is I myself know at least — at least — a dozen, two dozen people, maybe, that have gotten COVID. And I have a friend of mine that, three months later, he's, like, 'I'm still having some issues. And it's weird — I'm getting dizzy spells. I'm getting this, that and the other thing. And what the fuck?' And then I know another group of people that were, like, 'Dude, I've had a hangover that was worse than this. I had a fever of 99 for about a day and a half and haven't had a problem since.' And so it affects everybody differently, and that's the big mystery."

In retrospect, 'there is no such thing as a stupid question' is among the biggest lies I was told as a kid.

This isn't complicated: COVID both is and is not a big deal, is and is not a killer, is and is not affecting the entire world, we should both wear masks and scoff at the need for masks. I don't know why you're confused about my position here. COVID is just like...everything, man, knowhuti'msayin'? (takes 45-second bong rip while wearing 'CRIMINALIZE THE POT' t-shirt)

(Jordan) Peterson posted a photo of himself with Lovett and bandmates Winston Marshall and Ted Dwane at their studio. It took a couple of months for the music press to notice it, but when they did there was a small outcry – and an opportunity for wags on social media to lay into the band (“I assumed they were, ‘My dad was a vicar’ Tory, not ‘concerned about white birthrates’ Tory,” quipped one Twitter user). Lovett is unapologetic. “I looked forward to having a conversation with him, but only because I wanted to have a conversation with as many people as possible,” he says, although he can’t remember what they actually talked about. ..He describes Peterson as “an intellectualist more than anything: I don’t think he particularly likes how political it is”. Mumford smirks back: “I think he loves it.”

In response to "I don't know why he is so into this but it's really worrying to me that it's automatically counted as a strike against someone" I would ask you: what do you know about Andy Ngo, what do you know about what his book is actually about, and what do you know about what he has gotten up to for a number of years that has led up to this book? If you know plenty about Andy Ngo and are asking that question then there isn't much to say. In my opinion calling Andy Ngo "brave" and his book "important" AFTER having read it isn't really a casual statement. You believe some terrible shit if you take Andy seriously (he lies fucking ALL THE TIME) or, worse, think that he is making these points in good faith and also agree with them (which it is hard to suggest this asshole doesn't since he is literally endorsing the book).
