QAnon Star Who Said Only 'Idiots' Get Vaxxed Is Dead

Cirsten Weldon, a leading QAnon promoter who urged both her followers and strangers she passed on the street not to take the Covid vaccine, died Thursday of the coronavirus, making her just the latest vaccine opponent killed by the disease, the Daily Beast reports.

Said Weldon, in one of her videos: “The vaccines kill, don’t get it! This is how gullible these idiots are. They’re all getting vaccine!”

hospital where they died. Scott McKay, a QAnon personality known as the “Patriot Streetfighter,” said he would publicize the names of doctors and nurses involved in treating Weldon, saying he wanted to “put the fear into these medical professionals” in a Telegram post.

McKay proposed the hospital staff be sentenced to death, or be murdered in vigilante violence.

“If it’s not done in a military tribunal then it’s going to be done in the street eventually and not to my wishes,” McKay wrote. “That’s my greatest fear. But if it’s necessary, it’s going to be necessary.”

Why didn't she just stay home and rub horse de-wormer all over herself? Why didn't she drink bleach, take massive amounts of Vitamins C and D? Why didn't she take every damned "alternative" treatment her conspiracy buddies talked about?

Her conspiracy pals should have never allowed her inside a hospital. That's for sick people, not intelligent, informed people who know all the answers!

One of the greatest minds of our Qtime, and she died of "bacterial pneumonia" (her diagnosis) and definitely NOT COVID!

I think a Congressional investigation is warranted so we can get to the bottom of this. Of course there's nothing but bottom when it comes to these 'Q' nitwits, so there's really no place to go from there.

Of course she "only" had bacterial pneumonia ( her diagnosis) and NOT COVID!

I think people get the idea though.

The word 'bêtise' could have been replaced with: ➙ sottise, idiotie, imbécillité, stupidité ; familier connerie. That last one is very useful these days.

QAnon conspiracy theorist Scott McKay was livestreaming when he got word that Cirsten Weldon had died. He blamed the hospital for killing her, vowed to destroy the doctors and nurses who treated her, and threatened violence: "You're dead men walking."

He is going to file a lawsuit? I mean any idiot can file a lawsuit. I am not a lawyer but even I know that the suit will be thrown out immediately. Why? You have to have STANDING to file a suit. What is he going to say is his injury? "Well your honor, we were both, batshit crazy anti-vaxxers and friends, and now she's dead from the virus that neither of us vaccinated against." I am sure when the suit gets thrown out it will just be because the courts are now part of the conspiracy to ... I don't know, uphold the law?

I am surprised he can tie his shoes.

It’s no different than if she walked around with an assault rifle spraying bullets into the air, although someone with such a twisted sociopathic mindset like her would probably claim a “gawd giving rite to shoot my gun wheres I want.” 🖕her. Her mode of depraved indifference homicide just happened to use a virus as the lethal instrumentality. 😡🤬Good riddance as she no longer poses a threat to human life.
