“World is Being Controlled”: Denver Nuggets Youngster Believes the Coronavirus is Being Overblown
Follow Us
The coronavirus has affected all fields of life. NBA is one of the entities to have taken a big hit due to the ensuing pandemic. So, to proceed with a return, the NBA was forced to have a bubble environment to keep its players safe. They have also issued a number of protocols to ensure maximum safety. But despite the league taking it so seriously, Denver Nuggets youngster Michael Porter Jr thinks it is being “overblown.”
Clevis Murray from the Athletic reported that Porter Jr said, “Personally I think the coronavirus is being used obviously for a bigger agenda. It’s being used for population control in terms of being able to control the masses of people. The whole world is being controlled.”

Was the Denver Nuggets youngster insensitive?
Porter then said he has never been vaccinated. Next, he ended his soliloquy by saying that though the virus is serious, it is overblown. This comes just a week after Dwight Howard said he doesn’t believe in vaccinations either. But Murray debunks the anti-vaccination claim. He mentions that Porter Jr was enrolled in a university where it was mandatory for players to be vaccinated.
Porter Jr. ended his response to the question with the following: “It is a serious thing. It’s a real thing but this is being overblown.”

Porter Jr had contracted the virus himself, but recovered. So according to his words, anyone else can recover too. However, it is not the wisest analogy to follow. His colleague, Karl Anthony-Towns, lost his mother to the virus. So Towns, or any other person who has lost their relative or friend, will be furious at such comments.
