Jake Paul Says COVID Is ‘A Hoax’ And Will Continue To Throw Parties
Controversial YouTuber Jake Paul might need to get his utilities shut off because he is part of the problem during the worldwide Coronavirus pandemic.
The star who has been throwing huge parties during the entire pandemic, despite lockdown rules, recently did an interview where he said that 98% of what the news says is fake, and that the COVID-19 virus is a hoax, despite the fact that millions of people have died worldwide.
During his Daily Beast interview he was asked about ignoring social distancing, he responded, “Yeah, I mean … it’s time for us to open up. Obviously, it’s a controversial subject, but it’s time for our nation to open up and go back to normal.”

“There are people losing jobs, there are small businesses who are going bankrupt, there are millions of people who are unemployed right now, people are turning to alcohol and drugs to cope with everything that’s going on. This is the most detrimental thing to our society. COVID cases are at less than 1 percent, and I think the disease is a hoax.”
Paul also compared the deadly virus to the flu,
“I think if someone’s at-risk, they should quarantine. Obviously, the coronavirus has killed people. I think if you’re at-risk, be careful. If you’re around people who are at-risk, be careful. Quarantine, do everything right, and live in a bubble, essentially,” he said. “But I think if you’re young, healthy, and don’t have any health issues, I don’t think anything should be different. These kids are losing out on education, they’re missing their graduations, they’re missing out on sports, kids are losing out on scholarships, restaurants, everything.”
Paul also voiced his distrust for medical professionals who recommend wearing a mask.
“I don’t think we do know who the health professionals are. People like yourself, or people who go on Twitter and read articles all day, you know, 98 percent of news is fake, so how do we know what’s actually real, and what we’re actually supposed to do?” he asked. “I see people on Twitter complaining and being all upset, and saying this person knows this or that, but no one actually knows what to believe.”
“Medical professionals have also said that masks do absolutely nothing to prevent the spread of coronavirus.”
