While certain celebs are doing what they can to spread helpful information about best health practices and safe physical distancing (see: Stephen Colbert, Jennifer Aniston, Lady Gaga, etc.), others are doing a deep dive into the murky world of misinformation (see: Roseanne). Among the latest celebs to sound off on the Coronavirus pandemic is Woody Harrelson, who's posting that cell towers *might* be behind this new disease. Spoiler alert: No. No, they are not.In a series of Instagram posts that have since disappeared (now
there’s a conspiracy!) Harrelson posited the theory that 5G technology, the fifth and newest generation of wireless infrastructure, and COVID-19 could be linked.“A lot of my friends have been talking about the negative effects of 5G,”
wrote the
Hunger Games star (though now that we think about it, this theory seems in line with something Harrelson’s hapless
Cheers character might come up with). “My friend Camilla seems [sic] this to me today and though I haven’t fully vetted it I find it very interesting.”
