Chuck Woolery, the former host of popular game shows like Love Connection and Wheel of Fortune, made headlines earlier this week for a series of tweets.

On July 12, Woolery, a Republican, tweeted out a conspiracy theory that scientists, doctors, Democrats and the media around the world were all collaborating in a massive lie about the global pandemic just to hurt the United States economy—the only positive of Trump's presidency—to hurt Trump's reelection chances. Woolery was not specific on whether the estimated 590,000 people who died worldwide were in on the conspiracy.

The tweet gained widespread attention when it was retweeted by President Donald Trump.



A day later, Woolery returned to Twitter.

It seems his opinion on the risks of the virus changed after his son tested positive for it.

He wrote on Twitter:

"To further clarify and add perspective, Covid-19 is real and it is here. My son tested positive for the virus, and I feel for of [sic] those suffering and especially for those who have lost loved ones."

Shortly after posting about his son, Woolery deleted his Twitter account.


Similar to Woolery, the President has been reluctant to admit the seriousness of the pandemic.

During an interview with CBS's Catherine Herridge, Trump was asked:

"You reposted a tweet yesterday saying that CDC and health officials are lying. You understand this is confusing for the public."
"So who do they believe? You, or the medical professionals like Dr. Fauci?"

Trump responded:

"I didn't make a comment. I reposted a tweet that a lot of people feel."
"But all I am doing is making a comment. I'm just putting somebody's voice out there."
"There are many voices. There are many people that think we shouldn't do this kind of testing, because all we do, it's a trap."

Twitter couldn't help but notice the cosmic irony of Woolery learning his lesson the hard way.


Some thought the disappearance of Woolery's account was due to a suspension for his false claims and promotion of conspiracy theories.

We could all stand to pay a little more attention to the experts of the world.



Hopefully Chuck Woolery's son recovers soon and the former game show host will have learned a lesson about listening to real experts.

MAGA Politicians Get Blunt Factcheck After Trying To Blame Biden For Screwworm Emergency In Texas

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall were called out after blaming a rise in screwworm infections in Texas cattle on former President Joe Biden—even though it was President Donald Trump's administration that cut funding for programs that track the parasite.

Earlier, the Department of Agriculture announced that a case of New World Screwworm—a flesh-eating parasitic fly—has been detected in a three-week-old calf near La Pryor, Texas, about 30 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. The discovery marks the parasite's arrival in the U.S. after it spread northward through Central America and Mexico over recent years.

Florida Republican Representative Randy Fine was widely mocked after claiming during a Newsmax interview that Democratic voters in California went dumpster diving for discarded ballots to rig the primary election.

Republicans have alleged fraud took place but many of the fraud allegations appear to stem from a misunderstanding of how California counts votes, particularly the time required to complete the process.

Savannah Guthrie Opens Up About What She Tells Her Kids Amid Her Mom's Disappearance In Emotional 'Today' Clip

Some say that parenting is an impossible job, with an unending list of decisions and possible missteps, but parenting might feel uniquely impossible to someone in Savannah Guthrie's position.

Guthrie's mother, 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, went missing from her home at the end of January. Her absence was first noted when she did not appear at church service that Sunday. One of her doors was discovered ajar and a single image of a blurry figure was caught on camera, and there's been no sign of her or her whereabouts since.

Hugh Laurie Hilariously Claps Back After Journalist Offers Her Disappointed Critique Of 'House'

Dr. Gregory House spent eight seasons insisting everybody lies, but even he might be surprised by what people diagnose on social media.

When freelance journalist Janet Murray shared her less-than-glowing assessment of House on X, claiming the medical drama followed the same formula every episode, series star Hugh Laurie responded with a characteristically dry rebuttal that quickly became the real case of the week.
