Talk to your doctors, pharmacists, etc, about the COVID problem and check whatever they say with respected resources. FOX news and that ilk are not reliable fact checkers. They are entertainment only. Try critical thinking and not broad based assertions. Like the judge in southeastern Minnesota advised-- do your homework. Try calling a reference librarian!!!

Who doesn't benefit? The people who believe everything the government tells them and that everything they read in the news just has to be true. They are living in fear, hiding behind masks & closed doors, and afraid to go anywhere.

They have also developed an intense hatred of anyone who dares think things like, “Maybe COVID isn’t as bad for most normal healthy people as we are led to believe” or “Are we sure the vaccine will not show ill effects later in life since it was rushed into approval & contains genetic instructions” or anyone (like me) who dares venture a dissenting opinion.

Now as to the story of the DJ & the lawyer...
I am trying to figure out how your story has even remotely something to do with either Frank Zappa, media/government induced groupthink, or COVID. ?????
