Y’all are gonna look really stupid when it turns out, years from now, that the plague that nearly caused human extinction back in 2020 was actually caused by a combination of 5G and vaccinations. ---

People are so gullible. This is obviously a ruse to cover up the fact that 5G cures Coronavirus. The virus was created by a conglomerate of global elite cellular providers so that everybody would have to switch to 5G to stay alive. Somehow the virus was released a little early, it’s believed due to a 5G failure at a Chinese cell phone factory. ---

> [@WildaBeast](#): > > There is no virus; that’s just a story the Illuminati are spreading to conceal the truth, in order to protect the profits of Big Cellular. Pay no attention to the fact that the illness is showing up in places that don’t have 5G yet. [/conspiracy theorist] > > More seriously, the myth that cell towers make people sick has been around for decades. It used to be mainly “cell towers cause cancer”, but now it seems to have made the leap to “cell towers cause COVID-19”. Last week TLDR News on YouTube had a piece on 20 COVID-19 myths that mentioned this as one of them. This week was posted a follow-up on just the 5G part triggered by [this bint](https://youtu.be/ysCwsWZdRLA?t=459) who is berating telecom workers who are installing a _fiber optic cable_. “Why do you think they’re building 25,000 concentration camps right here in the London XL(?)? It’s because of this wire right here.” ---

They’ve got it all backwards, Cancer causes smoking. COVID causes 5G. Tramp causes brain damage. It’s so clear. ---

The Grey Aliens and the Reptiloids, along with their Illuminati human-Quislings, have been using advanced electromagnetic technology in their secret Earth bases for thousands of years as part of their competing campaigns to conquer this planet for Zeti Reticuli or for Sigma Draconis. _Duh._ ---
