Coronavirus is “man-made” Aamir Khan

London:British-Pakistani boxer Aamir Khan placed his belief in a conspiracy theory that the coronavirus is “man-made” and resulted due to the building of 5G towers.

In videos shared on Instagram, the two-time world champion said he did not believe that the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic was what it has been made out to be, saying that “it’s been put there for a reason — while they test 5G”.

Urging fans not to believe everything they read about the virus, cases of which have surpassed 47,000 in the UK caused the deaths of 4,932 people there, the 33-year-old said: “I don’t think it’s coming from China. That’s a lie, really.

“People are saying that they were eating bats and snakes and the poison mixed. What [expletive] is that? Do you believe that? I don’t!”

Khan, who has in the past won the silver medal for Britain during the 2004 Olympics, went on to stress that the COVID-19 was a man-made disease that the government created on purpose to control the growing population.

“Coronavirus this, coronavirus that — you’re probably getting bored of it, as I am. Do you not think it’s anything to do with that 5G in these towers that are going up?

“It’s a man-made thing. It’s been put there for a reason — while they test 5G. It might be for population control — get rid of a lot of us, especially when they say that it harms old people. Look at these towers at night-time that have been put up, then telling people not to go out,” he claimed, according to Mirror UK.
