Actually, I don't think he has named anyone that's died from tiny razor blades.
I've just done a search of this thread, and there was one video that talked about unexpected deaths among children- but no mention of tiny razor blades- and some quotes from the Qur'an. And that's it. He's not even trying to support these claims. It's just snarky waffle. |

I just saw a website (sorry, no link, site tossed unheralded) that contended that the vaccines (so called vaccines in scare quotes of course) are 99 percent graphene. I guess that explains why my last booster was done with a hammer. But it's very handy, because now I have only to come close to an electrical outlet and I strike an arc that lights up the whole room. Heeding the sage warnings seen above I am going to take the money I save on flashlight batteries and spend it all on

It's not surprising, because it seems that failing a fact-check and being given a low rating on fact-checking sites is actually a kind of badge of honour in conspiracy circles.
It's a weird, topsy-turvy way of thinking, that says that it's not wrong, it's just that "they"- or (((they)))- are trying to suppress "the truth". It's also a lazy way to avoid having to address the rebuttals in any kind of depth. |

They used to talk about recycling old battleships into razor blades. Imagine how many graphs they must have recycled to make all those billions of vaccine shots. Amazing.

I took a break from trying to get a clean shave from a pencil to notice that, shockingly, the nutbars were (still) wrong (again) about ivermectin (as well).
Ivermectin does not prevent COVID-19 hospitalization, a new study says (npr.org)

[Nods head ] Hmm you might have a point.
Meanwhile https://youtu.be/uZvSKauPU1o?t=63 (ETA: YouTube link 63 second in - you only need a few seconds around that for starters) Antivaxer Dolores Cahill serves notice on Sgt Hugh Shovelin, saying he isn't identifying himself whilst he's actually correcting her spelling of his name. ![]() She's now "in hiding" as a warrant is out for her arrest https://www.independent.ie/irish-new...-41515233.html |

One thing that's starting to help convince me that the pandemic really is almost over is how quiet this thread has gone.

Maybe. Most of the conspiratorial input wasn't about the pandemic, though, was it? It was about the supposed deadly effects of vaccinations, and the imminent establishment of a global fascist regime, and all that.
Perhaps- and this may be wildly optimistic- the complete absence of those things has led those people to reassess their beliefs. |
