Benny Says COVID Was a Hoax
Benny announces a conspiracy. Meffff replies with the least convincing scientific evidence ever.
Benny the Bat hangs upside down at The Soggy Stool, ready with another revelation.
“COVID was a hoax.”
Meffff looks up from his beer. “Never got it.”
Benny considers this a decisive breakthrough. “See?”
Meffff gestures proudly at himself.
“I took my methamphetamines.”
Neither animal has made a remotely useful public-health argument.
Behind the Disaster
Personal anecdotes do not establish whether a disease is real or whether a substance prevents infection.
Conspiracy thinking can feel persuasive when a simple story explains complicated events. Reliable evidence, credible medical sources and a willingness to question our own assumptions matter more than a confident bloke at a bar. Methamphetamine does not protect against COVID-19.
