Eamonn Holmes Under Fire for 5G and COVID-19 Remarks
Written on
Chapter 1: The Controversial Comments
It’s intriguing how Eamonn Holmes, who claims to be the "best live presenter in the country," continuously manages to embarrass himself on live television. From suggesting that a rape survivor should "take taxis" to avoid danger to praising his original employers as "men of vision," Holmes has now found himself in the midst of yet another controversy.
For those unfamiliar with the latest conspiracy theory making waves, it posits that 5G technology is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. The reasoning behind this claim remains vague, with no one daring to clarify how data transmission waves could possibly lead to a viral outbreak. Unlike other conspiracy theories—like the one alleging that Melania Trump has a lookalike—the 5G narrative has proven to have real-world consequences.
Since the emergence of this theory, over 30 5G towers have been vandalized, some completely destroyed. The most notable incident involved a tower that supported the NHS Nightingale Hospital, disrupting communication for many families. This conspiracy isn’t simply misguided; it’s dangerously misguided, and Holmes believes it shouldn’t be dismissed outright.
During a segment where Alice Beer discussed the alarming acts of arson against 5G infrastructure, Holmes abruptly interrupted her with a thought-provoking comment. He seemed to believe he was having a moment of clarity when he stated, "What I don’t accept is mainstream media immediately dismissing that as false when they don’t have definitive proof." Another classic from the nation’s so-called "best live presenter."
The flaw in his statement lies in the fact that we do know this theory is false. It’s impossible for artificially generated radio waves to carry any biological virus. If only Holmes had conducted a bit of research before discussing such topics, he might have grasped this fundamental truth. It’s evident that Holmes may not possess the intellect his name implies; it doesn’t take a detective to uncover such facts.
The cherry on top came the following day when, after receiving numerous complaints online, Holmes attempted to clarify his earlier remarks. He stated he wanted to "address some comments that may have been misinterpreted." It’s a well-known tactic: when in doubt, shift the blame onto the audience for allegedly misunderstanding his comments.
Misinformation is inherently dangerous, and intentional misinformation is even more perilous. In these uncertain times, spreading conspiracy theories on live television is not just irresponsible; it’s reckless and potentially harmful. Perhaps the true conspiracy is why Holmes continues to have a platform?
