WTF is this bullshit I'm seeing about the RFID/5G/Bill Gates/COVID-19 ''connection?''

[Orrex]

I saw one post about it on FB the other day, but today the idiocy seems to have exploded.

The claim is that Gates either helped to engineer the virus outright or else that he's using it as part of his "bogus vaccination scheme" for his "targeted depopulation campaign."

Anti-vaxers are the only idiots more consistently fucking stupid than Herr Trump's cult of idiot racist fuckheads, but this is a new, stupid low even for them.


Anyone else seeing such bullshit?

1. Lots.

Why do you think the morons are burning down 5G towers?

[Orrex]

2. I thought they were doing that simply because they're stupid assholes

I didn't realize that they had a "purpose" in doing it.

11. It's all about 5G towers causing COVID-19.

No, not joking.

15. Yeah, I've heard that one too

Fools in my own community are going apeshit about a proposed tower here in town.

It's hard to believe that people are getting dumber, but the evidence really points to it.

3. That has been around...

There are so many of these deluded flights of paranoia and they have been around for a long time.

If you haven't looked into those basements of hysteria, unsubstantiated claims and theories that come from people who think of fact checking as a wasted effort, then you may not want to know more about this growing threat to our collective sanity.

Even countries like Russia and China, etc. are capitalizing on these deluded "truth" seekers who deal with mostly admixtures of reality and fantasy and live on a steady diet of false equivalences and fallacies. They seem to live in an alternative reality and when they start to act on it, it even becomes dangerous as in harmful and deadly.

4. It's a attack on Gates because he gave speech warning of pandemics

It was in 2017 or 2018. Not exactly groundbreaking, pandemics are the top of the list of severe threats. I'm guessing they are going after him to gobble up references to his speech. He's one of those smart people you know.

As far as the 5G. Other than just being morons I'm guessing it's an anti-global thing or fear of smart people.

6. ...

"Anti-vaxers are the only idiots more consistently fucking stupid than Herr Trump's cult of idiot racist fuckheads"

that Venn diagram is almost just a circle isn't it?

[Orrex]

9. LOL.

Sadly, we see a far-too-large number of anti-vax cultists here on DU.

Love the idea, though!

[Nictuku]

8. Yep

10. Idiocy has exploded on Facebook?

How can one tell? That's like saying a sewer has exploded with bacteria.

[Warpy]

12. People are smart enough to be scared and are looking

for punching bags to take it out on. Right now, those are bogeymen for the Alex Jones crowd.

It will get worse.

16. Ugh

Though I'm not surprised, given that those types were vile enough to claim that Sandy Hook was faked by gun control advocates.

[CatLady78]

17. heh

Poor Bill Gates...well he should be grateful he at least is not being accused of running child sex rings that sell pizza or whatever that other piece of drivel is..
