Dan trusts practically nothing the media and medical establishments say about the COVID-19 pandemic. He considers the threat overblown. And saying as much on Twitter has triggered some heated arguments.
âYou question anything, you get told youâre going to kill grandma or youâre doing something wrong, and youâre made to feel like youâre unpatriotic for not putting on a mask,â he told Wisconsin Watch.
Dan of Muskego, Wisconsin, is an active voter whoâs worked for the past several years at a restaurant. He requested that Wisconsin Watch omit his last name for fear of online harassment. He counts himself as one of the few people watching the âreal world,â unlike those who âlive in ignorance.â

Protesters are seen at a rally at the Wisconsin State Capitol on April 24, 2020. They were demanding an end to the wide-ranging shutdown of normal life and business in Wisconsin aimed at curbing the coronavirus pandemic. Weeks later, Gov. Tony Evers’ Safer at Home order was overturned by the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Even as the state’s pandemic death toll surges, some Wisconsin residents believe the threat of COVID-19 is overblown, that masks are dangerous and restrictions to curb the disease are part of a plot to ruin the economy and make people dependent on the government.
