Jonathan Jarry, writing for McGill about “Awaken with JP”‘s JP Sears:

It may come as a shock to find out that not only has he become the very thing that he once ridiculed, JP Sears is now using his massive online platforms to discredit public health measures against COVID-19 and to open the door to grand conspiracy theories. Distrust is the name of the game, and he does it with comedic flair.

I remember watching JP do his “What if meat eaters acted like vegans” schtick and, having been a veg for a time in college, it was funny and cringey. It’s sad to see that he’s gone down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole, but I imagine he’s laughing all the way to the bank.
