  Nowhere in that article does it say that he went to urgent care insisting that covid isn't real. The link that the OP posted says that dying patients are insisting that covid isn't real. Your own link says that the kid thought that it just hit older adults, not that he thought it was fake or a new world order conspiracy or any garbage like that.
