Last fall, he was ordered to pay nearly $1.5 billion in defamatory damages to the families of the victims as a result of his falsehoods. Jones is best known for his false claim that the Sandy Hook school shooting in 2012 was fake. The episode was headlined on Jones’ website InfoWars as “Federal Officials Blow the Whistle on Biden’s Plan for New COVID Lockdowns.” Jones then claimed that he called a source within Customs and Border Protection after hearing this, and the source allegedly told him to expect “COVID protocols” to begin rolling out in mid-September and to “get ready for a whole new rollout of what happened before.” He added that the public should expect by December a return to “full COVID protocols.” Specifically, he said a “high level manager” in the Transportation Security Administration told him that by mid-September, TSA and airport employees would be required to wear masks due to concerns over “the new variant in Canada.” By mid-October, everyone would have to wear masks on airplanes, he said. 18 episode of “The Alex Jones Show,” the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones claimed sources within the federal government told him “new lockdowns are coming.” In a few limited instances, colleges and companies have announced they will be requiring masks for the time being.īut contrary to many viral social media posts, there is no indication that any kind of government-ordered COVID-19 restrictions are about to begin.
This has led some public health experts to suggest that some people - especially those at higher risk of severe COVID-19 - wear masks when out in public, and to be a bit more cautious about contracting the coronavirus.
