Chuck Woolery, the smarmy snake oil salesman recently retweeted by Trump, was the "personality"

who appeared on TV commercials several years ago to promote an expensive gimmick called the "Willow Curve". The device was basically a low level light assembly that was said to provide drugless pain relief. It cost over $600 and was strapped onto the knee or elbow or wherever the pain was located. Chuck "guaranteed" that the Willow Curve would "change your life."

The FTC sued the manufacturer and its owners, alleging that the claims were deceptive, false and unproven. There was never any scientific evidence that validated the claims of pain relief.

Woolery is a RWNJ who, if the price is right, can be hired to recite any script. He is an enthusiastic supporter of Trump.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a stunning repudiation of the nation’s leading infectious-disease expert, Donald J. Trump has replaced Dr. Anthony Fauci with the veteran game-show host Chuck Woolery.

Appearing at the White House with his newest Coronavirus Task Force member, Trump said that he chose Woolery because he has “a much better record of success than Tony.”

“Tony Fauci is a nice guy, but he’s been wrong a lot,” Trump said. “Chuck has made thousands of love connections that turned out a hundred-per-cent right.”

Had the TV on and was listening while doing paper work and Williams dead panned the following. "Everyone appreciated hearing from world renowned epidemiologist and world public health expert Chuck Woolsey who has been widely quoted on Fox News recently.

Never broke the monotone, never smiled, really first class shade. In fact I looked at the thermometer and the temperature dropped from 117 to 110 because of Williams blanket of shade.

All of this conspiracy theory crap takes time and energy away from getting the message of science, logic and reason out consistently. Anyone adding to that crap is just vile.
