2020: The Year Of Peak Fooling

Ah, 2020, a year that seemed to be filled with its fair share of fooling, both intentional and unintentional. Let’s reminisce on some of the peak fooling moments from that unforgettable year:

Pastor Chris’ 5G and Coronavirus Connection Presentation: This one definitely takes the cake for its sheer audacity and the widespread impact it had. Pastor Chris, the founder of Christ Embassy, made headlines when he presented a slideshow supposedly linking 5G technology to the spread of the Coronavirus. Despite being widely debunked by experts, the video circulated virally, sparking conspiracy theories and panic among some communities.
