Pandemic myths: the virus is sprayed from planes and the vaccine causes infertility

“We have a new fake - heavy metals were found in the vaccine (No. 263 in our database). The source is, of course, parent groups. And I have a question - have you met with something similar?", - asks in her blog the anthropologist Alexandra Arkhipova, who professionally studies rumors and their impact on society.

And the readers did not fail to share their knowledge:

- This is the reincarnation of a horror story imported from the West about "mercury in vaccines that causes autism". The horror story is 50 years old at lunchtime. It is based on the fact that a mercury drug, thimerosal, was used as a preservative for some vaccines (but any noticeable amount of mercury still cannot get into a person during vaccination).

- Omniscient Samara taxi drivers told me about heavy metals in the vaccine, however, in "Sputnik". They also said that the virus is being sprayed from planes. In the mornings, we observe how many planes began to leave a trail in the sky, and it quickly disappears. This, according to their assurances, is the sprayed virus.

- There is also a version that the Jews and the world government want to exterminate everyone and leave the "golden billion" of people.

- I only met the version that the whole of Israel will die out from the vaccine, since this is a postponed genocide of the Jewish people. A considerable part of the Russian-speaking people in Israel are shouting about the experiment on us.

- The vaccine is radioactive. This is exactly what is checked by devices disguised as non-contact thermometers.

- In the city, leaflets on poles and bus stops hung about non-contact thermometers, that they infect people, take care of children and all that.

- These are not non-contact thermometers, one mother told me - this is the irradiation of people, they infect people through these pistols

- In Orthodox circles there is a rumor that the vaccine leads to infertility...
