If you’ve received the vaccine and are reading this before October 4, you still have time. Time for what you ask? To enjoy your last hours as a human. At least that’s what anti-vaxxers believe.
An absurd conspiracy theory circulating on social media claims that every vaccinated individual on the planet will transform into a zombie on October 4. Luckily for those inoculated against COVID-19, however, the claim is utter nonsense.
In a video originally posted to Instagram, a user alleges that all COVID shots were secretly booby-trapped with the Marburg virus. The Marburg virus causes a severe hemorrhagic fever that has historically killed 70 percent of those infected.
The user continues by stating that the virus will be activated when three one-minute long 18 gigahertz pulse waves are sent out from, you guessed it, 5G cell towers.
“The government has been preparing for this for years now and will be released in October of 2023,” the user says.
And what proof does this conspiracy theorist provide? Claims from a purported attorney named Jeffrey Prather. A quick glance at Prather’s website shows your typical QAnon-style content, with podcast episodes containing titles such as “BREAKING: CHINA SATELLITES FIRED MAUI!” At least they aren’t blaming Jewish lasers, for once.
The Instagram video continues with footage of Prather himself detailing the imagined, devious plan to zombify the masses for some unexplained reason. But it’s not just Marburg in the shots. The dastardly Deep State also put some Ebola in there for good measure too, according to Prather.
Only it’s not the Marburg virus or Ebola that will turn you into a zombie. Prather concludes by stating that those who survive the initial onslaught will have certain genes deleted from their body, causing them to enter into a zombie-like state.
In other words, it’s going to be a rough week for the billions of people who have received a COVID-19 shot. Luckily, such claims have been made countless times and always fail to come to fruition. If conspiracy theorists were correct, the entire vaccinated population would have died 15 times over by now. It’s safe to say no one will become a zombie this week.
Why it matters
Despite being several years out from the release of the COVID-19 vaccine, none of the doomsday predictions made by conspiracy theorists have come true. Yet that hasn’t slowed down the nonsensical theories.
Many conspiracy theorists choose to double down when proven wrong. That’s why anti-vaccine content remains so prevalent. When no one becomes a zombie, expect anti-vaxxers to move the goalpost once again.
The vaxxtards insisted we (the sane people) would be facing a “Winter of Illness and Death” in 2021.
They were ... mistaken.
265 Million Americans jabbed. America is still functioning. Bill Gates has failed again, just like his Windows 10 needing 1200 updates.
Loons are loons
Man, what a buzzkill. I was sort of looking forward to it. That means I’m gonna have to rake the leaves now, doesn’t it?
I was told by paranoid anti-vaxxers I will be dead from blood clots within 6 months. Now it is nearly 4 years since my first 2 jabs. Still strong like bull. Doing this 4 times every week for 25 minutes. No heart issues, no blood clots, just pure health without prescription drugs at age 83.

Lock and Load for the Zombie Apocalypse.
I thought it was a Conspiracy Theory when it IS true. Conspiracy theories have been right about almost everything in the last few years.
I never suggested anything like that to anyone. I just stood my ground for my own personal choice, and stood up for personal choice in general
But I guess if you choose against the FR hive mind on certain issues, you aren’t allowed personal choices without undergoing a barrage of insults.
It’s not so much conspiracy theories, as it is a recognition that while history may not repeat, it sure does rhyme, and you recognize the patterns.
Have the Booster boosters shown up yet?
That kind of looks like fun.
Are you saying there's still Hope?
It all depends on what the definition of zombie is.
There are millions of idiotic people out there.
Just watch a “real cops” show or The View. Plenty of zombies right there.
zombie - see Democrat voter................
Just take a trip to Philadelphia or San Francisco
Those weren't 'updates', they were 'BOOSTERS".............
