The chances are, you haven’t heard of British politician David Kurten just yet. The leader of the Heritage Party, who’s an avid Twitter user, has previously said that "face masks have little to no effect" and that he "will not be taking an experimental Covid vaccine and I am not recommending it." This time, he’s in with another questionable "eureka" tweet with a picture of a lion and a caption "Lions don’t wear masks."

But as we already know very well, the internet can sometimes be a magic place and people are smart enough not to believe everything they see on there. But this time, though, Mr. Kurten has seriously struck a chord with many, and people just couldn’t help but roast his proud statement in a series of hilarious tweets.

After all, when you really think of it, armadillos don’t exactly use microwaves and this is totally fine. But does it change anything about Covid-19? The question begs to be questioned.

NO, Chi-Wei Shen - nothing sharp or pointy, ever, for these people. And, Suncastle, no more than plastic spoons for David Kurten either! As a matter of fact, maybe he should just eat with his fingers. We'd all be safer that way. Mercy! Where, where, where do these people come from???????? And they get elected! Appalling.

    David Kurten, who is a British politician for the Heritage Party and a London Assembly member, has made headlines previously for sharing anti-Covid and anti-mask statements.

    In July, he wrote on his Facebook page that “face masks have little to no effect” and encouraged people to “say no to the 'new normal.'” Kurten also shared the hashtag #keepbritainfree which indicates support of the controversial Keep Britain Free movement that describes itself as “representing the millions of people who want to think for themselves and take responsibility for their own lives.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    In his latest tweet on Monday, Kurten made headlines again by claiming that he won’t be taking the “experimental Covid vaccine” and he doesn’t recommend it to others either. According to Evening Standard, it’s likely that David was referring to the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, “which has been approved for use in countries including the UK and the US after regulators found it was 95 percent effective.”

    Fellow London politicians have openly criticized Kurten for his "reckless" and "irresponsible" statements.

    Well, anyone who has not looked at the FACTS about this SCAM shouldn't be allowed near a voting booth. Just a few little FACTS for you, my brain-dead friend. 1. The CDC admitted that masks do not work. On the package of those ubiquitous blue masks it says in plain English "Not for protection against virus." Guess you missed that one. 2. It takes 5 to 10 years to properly test a vaccine. They rolled this out in 6 months??? Crazy. Now we are hearing about people having terrible side effects, which, of course, our lying media isn't reporting on. We can't even get an effective vaccine against the common cold or flu and yet I am supposed to believe this garbage works??? No thanks. You can have my dose. 3. The CDC admitted to lying about the Covid death figures. They admitted that they said that 131,000 deaths claimed as Covid in their reports were actually from the flu or pneumonia. Stop being a sheep, Gordon. Stand up for yourself.

    The cdc didn’t lie, it was a mistake from the hospitals, not all, but some. The flu and pneumonia, could have come from COVID-19, it’s happened a few times, and it’s likely we don’t know the exact amount as is, but our best guess, as far as hospital records go, 86 Million cases, 1.6 Million deaths, updated a few days ago, and they factored out the deaths they mistakenly labeled as COVID-19. As for your anti vaccination statement, the flu and the common cold mutate all the time, thus making it difficult to predict the new strain, COVID-19 doesn’t evolve every Monday morning at 6:00pm, making it simple to pinpoint the strain that will be most effective. My mother (she’s an essential worker) got the vaccine, and sure, as with any vaccine, you’ll experience effects, the effects I saw were minor headache, soreness around injection site, and other minor effects, so I’m 100% certain that the major side effects are really, really rare. Okay, now I’m going to do some math, 1.6m-131k=1.4m hm.

    First the mandatory mask. Then the mandatory UNTESTED vaccines. Then the mandatory vaccine certificates to travel. Then the mandatory stay at home orders. All this for a virus that 99% of the people who get it survive. Did you read that??? 99% of the people SURVIVE. We didn't do this for the flu for the last 10 years. Why now??? What is our lying government up to?? What is Bill Gates up to with his vaccines??? Tell you what, you KEEP your masks, your vaccines, and I will keep my freedom.

    The vaccine was tested extensively, and swiftly, and the FDA took their grand time approving it, you know why? Because not everybody comes home from covid. Not every family remains full. Nurses are now popping up with covid due to them not following proper guidelines, we are in a global pandemic, your freedom means nothing. You understand? Getting people sick with a virus that killed hundreds of thousands, from somebody not wearing a mask. You’re selfish if your freedom is held above others lives.

    We should declare them endangered species if they've already not been categorized as such because 20,000 in the entire world is tragic. We must save these magnificent creatures. Trophy hunting needs to be banned worldwide.

    Well, anyone who has not looked at the FACTS about this SCAM shouldn't be allowed near a voting booth. Just a few little FACTS for you, my brain-dead friend. 1. The CDC admitted that masks do not work. On the package of those ubiquitous blue masks it says in plain English "Not for protection against virus." Guess you missed that one. 2. It takes 5 to 10 years to properly test a vaccine. They rolled this out in 6 months??? Crazy. Now we are hearing about people having terrible side effects, which, of course, our lying media isn't reporting on. We can't even get an effective vaccine against the common cold or flu and yet I am supposed to believe this garbage works??? No thanks. You can have my dose. 3. The CDC admitted to lying about the Covid death figures. They admitted that they said that 131,000 deaths claimed as Covid in their reports were actually from the flu or pneumonia. If you believe the lies about this virus, you are the one lacking in brain cells.

    No, the dumbest Corona virus take are the people like you who don't bother researching and discovering the massive body of LIES that have been told about this virus. 1. Will kill millions in the USA alone. True death count from Corona virus ALONE is about 20,000 right now. The hospitals and CDC are inflating the death counts. 2. Masks work. Baloney!! Right on the packaging for the blue masks everyone wears it says "Not effective against viruses" 3. Asymptomactic people are dangerous. No, researchers have found that there is no such thing as "Asymptomactic disease transmission" with this virus. Another bald-faced LIE. You should really be wondering what our lying and corrupt government is up to with this SCAM!!! WAKE THE HELL UP AND DO YOUR RESEARCH. Stop being a sheep.

Why masks when 99% of the people who have caught the virus have survived it??? THIS IS NOT ABOUT HEALTH. IT'S ABOUT CONTROL, and you and your sheep buddies are going right along with it. But you are too dumb to even realize it because you listen to CNN, ABD, and other corrupt news outlets who couldn't tell the truth if you put a gun to their heads. Wake up, dude!!
