Beloved chimp advocate is the new enemy of conspiracy theorists
"Conspiracy theorists believe that Jane Goodall, the world renowned chimpanzee advocate, was somehow involved in the COVID-19 pandemic due to her remarks regarding population growth. Obviously, the entire allegation is nonsense.
The conspiracy theory was popularized on Instagram last week by conservative commentator David Harris Jr., who highlighted comments made by Goodall at the 2020 World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland.
Goodall merely noted the increase in population and its effects on the planet but never once suggested the number of humans should be reduced. The conversation was centered around deforestation in the Amazon specifically.
“We cannot hide away from human population growth because, you know, it underlines so many other problems,” she said. “All these things we talk about wouldn’t be a problem if there was a size of population that was 500 years ago.”"
