Actor Woody Harrelson hosted Saturday Night Live and obliterated the COVID-19 narrative during his opening monologue.
Harrelson referred to the pharmaceutical companies as drug cartels who buy off the media and politicians.
“So the movie goes like this,” Harrelson said.
“The biggest drug cartels in the world get together and buy up all the media and all the politicians and force all the people in the world to stay locked in their homes, and people can only come out if they take the cartel’s drugs and keep taking them over and over,” Harrelson elaborated.
“I threw the script away. I mean who’s gonna believe that crazy idea.”

It’s crazy but 100% true.
Harrelson described the insane COVID-19 narrative that played out in real life the past three years.
The pharmaceutical companies are the world’s biggest drug cartels.
Big Pharma bought off the media and politicians to lock people in their homes until they take their product over and over.
Hilariously, the Pharma-owned media attacked Harrelson and SNL for spreading anti-vaxx conspiracy theories.

However, others thought Harrelson’s monologue was brilliant.

Harrelson then joked: “I threw the script away. I mean, who was going to believe that crazy idea? Being forced to do drugs? I do that voluntarily all day.”
The comments were widely covered by media outlets, who called them “anti-vax” or “vax conspiracies.”
Several people on social media continued the conversation — with many people agreeing with the actor — then Musk chimed in.
“So based. Nice work,” Musk responded.
In another tweet, Musk suggested the comments were spot on and reflective of life in the U.S. over the last few years.
When one Twitter user warned for people to “get ready for the meltdowns,” Musk said: “Maybe they [media outlets] don’t realize that their propaganda is wrong?”
Maybe they don’t realize that their propaganda is wrong?

Elon Musk tweeted earlier this week that the COVID-19 response was a scam.
