Kevin Sorbo’s Hot Take On The Flu Turns Him Into Twitter Laughingstock
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Former “Hercules” star Kevin Sorbo confused the heck out of people on Twitter on Friday with his latest questionable post.
“Remember when we treated the flu with tea, soup, and saltines instead of communism,” wrote the conservative ’90s-era actor, more known in recent years for his equally awful hot takes on COVID-19 vaccines and parroting of right-wing conspiracy theories.

COVID-19 has killed 50% more Americans in 2 years than were killed in 4 years of combat during WWII. It also has killed more Americans in 2 years than the Spanish Flu did in 3 years, despite a century of advances in modern medicine. You remember nothing.

B. Neither is a cold, and neither is trivial or easy to treat.— (((Dorit Reiss))) (@doritmi) March 18, 2022
Remember when people used to listen to doctors and other medical experts and follow their advice, until someone thought it would be a great idea to better connect to people like you who barely passed biology to teach us about viruses?
