Robert Schmitt is a popular host on Newsmax TV, an influential news channel in the conservative circles in the United States. His show last week was dedicated to the COVID-19 vaccines, in light of the current spike in infection cases in the US and around the world. Schmitt is known along a good number of his colleagues at the network for their rants propagating conspiracy theories, which have reached its peak during last year’s presidential elections when the channel adopted and fed into Donald Trump's wild accusations of massive poll fraud. But last week Schmitt topped himself. He displayed an absolute level of lunacy, saying on his show that he didn’t mind if part of humanity was “wiped out” by the coronavirus pandemic. That would be part of natural selection, ala Darwin, he argued.
