Woody Harrelson Stuns With SNL Monologue About Vaccines
Daily Caller ^ | February 26, 2023 9:37 AM ET | JULIANNA FRIEMAN

Woody Harrelson delivered a monologue about vaccines Saturday on Saturday Night Live, stunning spectators.

The famous actor used his fifth-time hosting the late night show to deliver a description of a divided nation, defining himself as a “redneck hippie,” according to Daily Beast.

“You know, the red in me thinks you should be allowed to own guns,” Harrelson said. “The blue in me thinks – squirt guns. So, I’m red and blue which makes purple. I’m purple.”

Applause emerged as he extended his arms to receive his Five-Timers club jacket, which he did not receive during the segment.

Harrelson started a story about his last time hosting SNL on Thanksgiving 2019, sharing that he smoked a joint before reading a movie script.

He appeared to lose his train of thought several times, with rambling reflections about his smoking and drinking habits as well aas his upcoming film Champions.

After the tangents, Harrelson continued his story, detailing the 2019 script.

“So the movie goes like this. 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 keep taking the cartel’s drugs, and keep taking them over and over,” Harrelson said.

He said he threw the script away.

“Who was gonna believe that crazy idea? They enforced to do drugs?” Harrelson said, containing laughter, “I do that voluntarily all day long.”

Online reaction was divided. Some characterized Harrelson’s controversial comments as COVID-19 conspiracy theories, while others applauded him for criticizing pharmaceutical companies.

Although Harrelson did not explicitly mention vaccines, his remarks were interpreted to reveal his stance against vaccine mandates.

In April 2020, Harrelson was accused of sharing COVID-19 conspiracy theories on Instagram after he made a post linking the virus to the 5G rollout.

Why stunned? over half the country thinks the same thing. You have to be beyond dumb to think that the vaccines are helping at all.

A friend of mine asked me if I had gotten the vaccine yet. I replied, “No.” She went on to tell me that despite her being vaccinated she has gotten covid three times. Sure, they work.

Leftists would put herpes infected urine in squirt guns. They are a LOT more violent than they would want you to believe.

Like for 2 years they insisted the virus came from a wet market and all the conspiracy theorists said it was clearly a lab leak, which it is now pretty much proven. Other popular conspiracy theories now proven true, Fauci is a criminal, masks don't work, the jab does not work, the jab causes harm.

The Saint Floyd riots for a year proved that for anyone with eyes and ears.

Remember the slack jawed drones from the Apple "1984" commercial when the woman threw a sledgehammer through the video screen of Big Brother lecturing the sheep, smashing it all to bits? Well here were the musicians sitting behind Woody Harrelson on SNL on Saturday night.

“The biggest drug cartels in the world get together and buy up all the media”

They didn’t really ‘buy up’ the media, but what they did do was get Congress to approve prescription drug advertising. With that, they then do most of their advertising on news shows, to the point that 70% of ads are from drug companies.

At this point to borrow a saying: “If you borrow 1 Million, the bank owns you, if you borrow 1 Billion, you own the bank” - the drug companies who now ALMOST FULLY FUND the news that Americans watch can say “You be nice to us, or else...”

...and so that’s where we are.

My Primary Care doc has stopped pushing the vax, he had been harping on me to get the shots, badgering me more or less but I refused and now he just breezed by it at my latest check up.

They are angry, which brings contempt, spite and sociopathy. From there, tge violence can rise abruptly like lava in a long-dormant volcano.

This is a very dangerous and disturbing trend. Any free speech that goes against the official narrative is evidently a “conspiracy theory”. And conspiracy theories must be banned from society.

Old-time liberal: I disagree with you. But you have a right to say it.
Modern liberal: I disagree with you. So you must be silenced.

Come to think of it, modern liberals sound more like fascists than anything else.

He is confident that you’re already in the Database of The Unvaxed so now he can quit nagging you.

My vaxxed and boosted brother was shocked when he ended up in the hospital with a bad case of Covid.

Well, as he quoted his wife as saying, they’re not self-aware as being that level of dumb.

The deadpan silence in the studio at the punchline to that bit says it all. He had to immediately shift back into his desire for recreational drugs - MJ - to elicit any reaction whatsoever (muted at that, the apparent shock still reverberating).

How can anybody take anything this dolt has to say seriously? His character on Cheers wasn’t an act.

At least he just doesn’t mindlessly repeat the talking points from the DNC Fax.
