48-year-old Makhan Singh Parhar AKA Mak… anti-masker, anti-vaccine, COVID denier and flat earther. You may remember him as the guy with COVID symptoms who, as he drove around in his car, was coughing and spitting out of his car window and live streaming his car-rants. Vaxman promised to update the post if there was any news surrounding his death as he was reluctant to give more details at the time and some were still unknown. I have that update and a little more for you. Original SAV post: https://www.sorryantivaxxer.com/post/makhan-singh-parhar-48-delta-bc-ca-yoga-instructor-flat-earther-anti-vaxxer-dead
Picture of Mak at the flat earth conference (Centre)
Some new background : Through 2020 he was harassing people wearing masks in Surrey and Delta B.C. and ranting about how COVID was a satanic lie. He posted a series of videos of himself entering healthcare facilities "in search of the truth about the pandemic" as well as hosting“Anti-covIDIOT” gatherings shared on YouTube.
Parha had his business license suspended by bylaw inspectors in March of 2020. His business was Bikram Yoga in Delta. Parhar also travelled to the US to be trained by the famous Yogi guru Bikram Choudhury.
The founder of Bikram Yoga soon became more famous for his *sexual predation. More on that here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bikram_Choudhury *There is no indication that Parha followed in those footsteps, but who knows...
When Parhar reopened his Yoga studio, he lied that hot yoga was still fine to do during the pandemic as the heat killed the virus.
After returning from a **U.S. flat earth conference in the fall of 2020, he also got into trouble for repeat violations of Canada's Quarantine Act.
Customs officials at Vancouver Airport cited him after he refused to sign the required forms on the grounds that the Quarantine Act doesn’t apply to him based on claims Parhar said he was not a “person” or a “traveller” as defined by law. He was required to isolate for 14 days, but violated it several times.
In a video he whined:
“They call it quarantine — it’s not really quarantine, it’s self-imprisonment. That’s what we did back in March. It’s self-imprisonment — put yourself in a jail and stay there, don’t interact with your friends, family, whatever. Stay inside and don’t have a life.”
“The border guard, she was rattled, she couldn’t believe that I didn’t fill out the form and I wasn’t complying. They aren’t used to people that aren’t obedient little sheep. I go home [and] the next day I live my life because I’m not going to put myself in a prison, because I’m a free man with God-given rights.”
He then described Police and RCMP serving violation tickets.
“It’s a bit of an inconvenience that now I have to file the paperwork and say take your $1,150 toilet paper and shove it up your a— because I’m not going to pay it.”
He was finally arrested and spent a couple of days in jail. The notoriety made him a hero with his fellow ignorant anti-mask/vaccine asshole Canadians.
We the Sheeple VS FreeDUMB "lions"
In retaliation, this numbnuts tried to sue the police and the government, but his case was thrown out in April 2021. The judge reminded him that his case was nonsensical and laws applied to him, even though Parhar felt he could opt out of them at a whim. https://www.abbynews.com/news/judge-tosses-lawsuit-of-b-c-covid-denier-accused-of-violating-quarantine-act-1811253
And because of that lawsuit, it came to light that the person representing him was just some a’hole poser from Ontario, which seems so very fitting in this whole scenario. Christopher James Pritchard AKA Christopher James. “is permanently prohibited from appearing as counsel, drafting legal documents or calling himself a lawyer unless he actually goes through law school and passes the bar.”
Turns out he is a self-described ‘counsellor at law’ who interprets laws Sovereign Citizen whacko style. Unsurprisingly, Pritchard has found a niche with Canada’s FreeDUMB fighters and Qnutters / conspiracy theorists and helped them draft pseudo-legal claims related to pandemic restrictions. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/pseudolegal-expert-banned-from-acting-as-a-lawyer-in-b-c-courtrooms-1.6103427
Parhar fell ill in late 2021, but not from “Convid," as he called it. Nope, no way it was COVID, he insisted, as it’s a “hoax.” (See the original post 2nd video made during that time, where he describes his symptoms that are unsurprisingly identical to COVID's)
His court dates for violating COVID public health orders were postponed because he said he was too sick. If he had lived, he would have faced huge fines… adding up to hundreds of thousands of dollars and into 7 figures if he had violated more public safety statutes and pissed off another judge. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/mak-parhar-dead-at-48-1.6238751
In 2022, the coroner confirmed he had COVID,
but that was not what killed him.
He died of an overdose Nov. 4, 2021 at home, Elvis style, in the bathroom “from a mix of ethanol and illicit drugs, including fentanyl and cocaine, according to a May 2022 report.” https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/mak-parhar-coroners-report-1.6739167
He sure showed us what real freeDUMB means!
Sadly , the videos that made him one of the antimasker/antivaccine freeDUMB fighters heroes... are gone… Awwwww! I am sure you all would have wanted to watch/listen to this dumbass speak for hours and hours on end! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdZHEHDT2QQ
“When the attending coroner examined the scene, they found Parhar lying on the floor with drug paraphernalia – an uncapped syringe, burnt spoon and glass pipe – nearby. Parhar had no recent medical history with substance use or opioid agonist treatment, but later toxicology analysis found he had consumed fentanyl, cocaine and ethanol.”
He had a wife and a child. His wife found him. What a loser. I have no qualms saying they will be better off without him. https://www.abbynews.com/news/b-c-covid-denier-mak-parhar-died-from-toxic-drugs-not-virus-coroner-1833077
Although he died with COVID and not FROM COVID, his weakened body assuredly hastened his demise. After finding the drug paraphernalia...and a high concentration of Fentanyl, I doubt the coroner autopsied his lungs and body parts to see if COVID ravaged him further.
He was vaping, and taking Ivermectin along with high doses of Advil and Tylenol for his "CONVID." (All self confessed in his videos.) In the days before he died he smoked crack, drank alcohol, used Fentanol and ethanol and shot up some heroin. (Something he neglected to cover in his videos) But he wouldn’t wear a mask, take the vaccine or wear a seat-belt.
**He attended Flatoberfest, Oct. 24, 2020 in Greenville, South Carolina. Get your tickets now for 2024! COVID is once again wreaking havoc so perhaps this will be a win win at election time and more will join Mak in flat heaven. (or flat hell) https://flatearthfestivals.com/flatoberfest2024/
On Fecesbook just a few days ago, the Flatoberfest loon was bragging about their escapades during the pandemic.
FreeDUMB!
May he rest in piss
Thanks so much for the update (I missed him somehow earlier). As someone whose job was basically unaffected by lock- downs, I try to be empathetic people who lost their businesses but he does seem generally to be a very angry, bitter person. I thought that Yoga also embraced serenity.
I've watched some Youtube videos of Soverign Citizens getting busted by the law and it's got to be one of the dumbest movements ever, on a par with Qanon I'd say. Every single one of them ends up humiliated, none of their bullshit ever works and they keep citing bizarre stuff like Maritime Law.
"Well of course you can walk around completely naked in public, go right ahead there Rear Admiral".
I apologise to anyone who read this last night. When I edited and added items, WIX did its thing and jumbled the paragraphs and erased some and I did not notice until this morning.
At times, when you add new paragraphs, sometimes there is a code error that I type in that triggers a response that erases paragraphs/pictures and sends what is newly typed into a new and higher position in the post. I still have not figured out what it is that does it. DAMMIT!!
Although I have learned to make a file and keep it until I publish... I erased it last night. I am sorry if my editing today still isn't perfect. I did notice that one thing missing was the explanation of why I added the update, but I just cannot remember more.
An example of shitty coding: when you type 13 at the beginning of a paragraph it turns to ...
once you add a space.
and you have to manually correct it with a copy and paste because it puts you into this mode
whereby you see that WIX is shit. And i can't believe people pay to use it.
