Fox News host doesn't believe in germs ...

[rslade]

Pete Hegseth is a host on the Faux News show "Fox and Friends." On Sunday he said that "My 2019 resolution is to say things on air that I say off air. I don’t think I’ve washed my hands for 10 years. Really, I don’t really wash my hands ever."

He doesn't wash his hands because germs aren't real.

Of course, he also says that his lack of hygiene inoculates him, but if germ theory isn't real, then that doesn't make any sense.

OK, this could just be yet another stupid celebrity story. Except that it means that there are people in positions of influence who are that stupid. And who contribute to things like anti-vax movements while measles epidemics are raging ...

I wonder what health benefits / medical insurance one would be able to avail of with such an attitude...

Is he in a meaningful relationship? 

I wonder what Lous Pasteur would think, possibly turn in his grave.

Is stupidity excluded as a pre-existing condition?

I've never seen Louis Pasteur, so obviously he, and, by extension, germs, doesn't
exist.

"I'm a bug, I'm a germ, I'm a bug, I'm a germ ... Oh, no! Louis Pasteur! I'm not a
bug! I'm not a germ! I'm not a bug! I'm not a germ ..."

He'd certainly be smart to grab one that does...

I've always fantasized about following a guy who doesn't wash his hands in a restaurant to his table to tell his friends that he didn't wash his hands in the bathroom.

I'd never do it, of course, but I can only imagine the reaction 🙂

Would you like "germs" with your fry's?  Take your pick?

https://www.initial.co.uk/blog/infections-can-spread-not-washing-hands/

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b&q=What+are+the+most+common+germs+found+on+hands%3F&sa...

"Staphylococcus epidermidis is the dominant species,66 and oxacillin resistance is extraordinarily high, particularly among HCWs. Other resident bacteria include S. hominis and other coagulase-negative staphylococci, followed by coryneform bacteria (propionibacteria, corynebacteria, dermobacteria, and micrococci)."

Bring your own hand wipes at all times.

Then ask yourself the question about mobile phones as well?

You would probably be surprised - not.
