Oh dear, Eamonn Holmes has gone full David Icke. He talks about the 'mainstream media' as if ITV isn't part of it and thinks it's OK to encourage delusional fuckwits to believe there is a link between 5G and #coronavirus.

I love the 'enquiring mind' excuse for conspiracy theories. Yes, it's just because you're such a genius free thinker that you've started peddling vacuous irresponsible evidence-free horseshit.

Running a book on how long it will be before Eamonn Holmes has his own YouTube channel called "Holmes Truths" and is palling around with Young and Liddle.

Good to see Eamonn Holmes criticising the mainstream media from the underground guerilla bunker of This Morning. Fight the power Eamonn.

If you didn't see #ThisMorning today, Eamonn Holmes suggested he believes that 5G may be to blame for Coronavirus & doesn't think you should listen to the "mainstream media" & "state narrative", NOBODY ACKNOWLEDGED WHAT JUST HAPPENED then Alison Hammond baked some banana bread.
