Denver Nuggets striker Michael Porter Jr. made questionable comments on the coronavirus pandemic and mask-wearing guidelines on Tuesday to prevent the spread of the disease.
Porter, who is expected to be a key player for the nuggets during the NBA’s restart plan starting Thursday, said in a Snapchat Q&A that the virus was used to “control” the population and that Fear of the virus “exaggerated” even though 661,000 people die worldwide.

The 22-year-old former student athlete from Missouri University replied: “These are facts.”

“Personally, I think the corona virus is obviously being used for a bigger agenda. It is used for population control in order to control the masses of people. Because of this virus, the whole world is controlled. You have to wear masks and who knows what will happen if this vaccine comes out. You may need to have the vaccine to travel, that would be insane. I’ve never been vaccinated in my life, I’ve never had shots or anything like that.
“It could go crazy, but it is definitely an agenda behind everything that is going on, and all you can do is sit back and watch what is going on and not be too emotionally involved.
“But it’s a serious thing, it’s a real thing, but yes, it is exaggerated.”

According to Porter’s vaccination note, Missouri University requires new participants to comply with the two-dose MMR immunization guideline or to provide evidence that they are immune to mumps, measles, and rubella. The school says that students who don’t comply with the rule may not register for their second semester. Porter played three games for the Tigers in 2018 before injuring himself. He then entered the NBA draft and was later selected by the Nuggets.
