Rockstar Bryan Adams calls for closures of farmers markets
Posted: Tue May 12, 2020 8:54 amhttps://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/bryan-adams-promotes-false-coronavirus-myths-in-bizarre-rant-on-instagram-and-twitter/ar-BB13WUaZ?ocid=spartandhp
On one hand I think it's great when celebrities can use their 'following' (of viewers) to affect positive change... but this is completely ill-informed. "we should close all wet markets" is saying "close the farmers markets that sell fresh produce"
in his rant:
"but thanks to some fucking bat eating, wet market animal selling, virus making greedy bastards, the whole world is now on hold, not to mention the thousands that have suffered or died from this virus. My message to them other than “thanks a fucking lot” is go vegan."
Then while millions of people are out of work, struggling to feed their families or of course DYING, he whined about not being able to perform.
"To all the people missing out on our shows, I wish I could be there more than you know. It’s been great hanging out in isolation with my children and family, but I miss my other family, my band, my crew and my fans. Take care of yourselves and hope we can get the show on the road again soon. I’ll be performing a snippet from each album we were supposed to perform for the next few days. X❤️ #songsfromisolation #covid_19 #banwetmarkets"
Bryan, know when to keep your head down, brother.
