If you've been vaccinated and you're reading this post today, October 4th, you still have a few hours. Better to enjoy them as people before you turn into zombies, at least that's what the anti-vaccinationists think.
An absurd conspiracy theory circulating on social media claims that every vaccinated person on the planet will turn into a zombie starting today, October 4th.
In a video originally posted on Instagram, a user claims that all COVID vaccines contained the Marburg virus. The Marburg virus causes a severe hemorrhagic fever that kills 70 percent of those infected.
The user goes on to state that the virus will be activated when three one minute 18 gigahertz pulse waves are sent from (you guessed it), 5G cell towers.
"The government has been preparing for this for years and it will be released in October 2023," the user said.
The proof provided by the conspiracy theorist? Claims by an alleged attorney named Jeffrey Prather. A quick look at Prather's website shows your typical QAnon-style content, with podcast episodes featuring titles like “BREAKING: CHINA SATELLITES FIRED MAUI!”
The Instagram video continues with footage of Prather himself detailing his fantastical, insidious plan to turn the masses into zombies for some inexplicable reason.
In other words, it's going to be a rough week for the billions of people who have been vaccinated for COVID-19. But think, if the conspiracy theorists were right, the entire vaccinated population would have died at least 15 times over by now. So it's safe to say that no one will be a zombie this week at least.
Misinformation holds good.
For those who agreed to put themselves on an experimental drug test.
