“I have so much to say because this was during the time when I was on Bioreports. I was reporting extensively on COVID,” Hopper said. “I was out there on the front lines. And I remember after a couple of years of dealing with hearing this man and interviewing this man and having to wear masks and having our kids out of school for years, I remember questioning what he was doing.

And I got in trouble and pulled off air for a couple of days because I started questioning him. “You weren’t supposed to question the agenda and the narrative at that point.
And I apologized, and I went back on air covering what I was supposed to do as I’ve mentioned before on here. I was their puppet on mainstream media for so many years. Hopefully, more and more people are waking up to, you know, really, the lack of journalistic integrity that we’re seeing.”

“I hope that this is somewhat of a wake-up call for news organizations around the world,” Hopper said. “The six feet apart thing that he made up, wearing masks outside with not a single soul around us, you know, there were so many questions that were left unanswered and … let me give him the benefit of the doubt.
“That first year, many of us — we had no idea what was going on, but then when we started to learn more and more and started to really use journalistic integrity, which maybe that’s just been thrown out the window … news agencies jumped on the bandwagon with him and just feared so many Americans.”
