UFC star B.J. Penn pushes unproven COVID treatment, vows to end pandemic if elected Governor

The Omicron variant of COVID-19 has caused a new surge around the world. It’s now the dominant variant in the United States, reportedly accounting for more than 73% of new cases in the country.

In Hawaii, for example, hospitals are preparing for a huge influx of patients with the sharp rise of new infections in the island state. And to avoid overwhelming the healthcare system, 2022 gubernatorial aspirant and former UFC champion B.J. Penn suggested homeopathic care for COVID-19 patients.

The 43-year-old Penn, who said he contracted the virus for the second time and has now recovered, recently released this video on social media.
