People Are Very Angry At This Conspiracy Theorist Who Breezed Through A COVID Checkpoint
"It's not "brave" or "courageous" to evade quarantine, it's selfish and disgusting. Do you think you're the only one that wants to be somewhere else?"
A Melbourne conspiracy theorist has been dragged to absolute filth online after she filmed herself breaching a coronavirus roadblock and refusing to answer police questions about where she’s travelling from.
To give you an idea of what we’re up against here, Eve Black filmed herself driving up to the roadblock while praying for strength to “stand up for not only my own rights but the rights that you have given my brothers and sisters here on earth”.
Apparently those rights include the right to do whatever you want and endanger other people’s lives, not the right to breathe without needing medical intervention.
Black then uploaded the video to social media, where she also refers to the COVID-19 pandemic as a “SCAMdemic”.
Today Victoria recorded 300 new cases of COVID-19 and another six deaths, which officially gives the state the highest toll in the country.
They’ve been trying to contain the recent outbreaks to avoid that death toll getting any higher, but their job isn’t being made any easier by people’s damaging conspiracy theories.
Meet Eve Black.
She's an anti-vaxxer, anti-establishment, anti-science, god-botherer. In other words, she's a millennial Karen.

At the checkpoint a police officer asks Black her reason for travelling, to which she responded, “have I disturbed the peace today?”
“No, I’m just asking what your reason for travelling is,” the officer responded.
After she refuses to tell him he asks her where she’s coming from — an entirely reasonable question considering Melbourne is a huge hotspot at the moment.
“I don’t need to answer your questions. Have I committed a crime?” she said.
The officer eventually gives up and waves her through the checkpoint, after which she starts laughing and celebrating.
She thinks she achieved something? There’s an officer in a mask trying to make the lockdown work, health professionals, teachers, cleaners, retail and so on working to contain this lethal virus. WWJD? Selfishness and vanity? Nope.

It’s not “brave” or “courageous” to evade quarantine, it’s selfish and disgusting. Do you think you’re the only one that wants to be somewhere else? Inventing reasons to make yourself special enough to be above the rules shows how gross a human you are.

Whats the point of police power if Indigenous Australians get bashed, newly arrived Australians are locked in their houses, but deadshit, ignorant crystal gazers like Eve Black get to roll thru check points just by being fucking obnoxious? https://t.co/nr88nJtXAe

As Victoria (and now New South Wales) tries to get its second wave of coronavirus under control, conspiracy theorists — who think the virus that’s killed more than 635,000 people globally is a hoax — have encouraged people to breach restrictions and not wear masks.
Police have said they’ll be following up and if she wasn’t permitted to be in the area she’d be getting a fine.
