QAnon Thinks Kirstie Alley Was Murdered Because She Was an Anti-vaxxer

QAnon conspiracists were quick to claim that Cheers actor Kirstie Alley on Monday was possibly murdered because of her outspoken criticism of the COVID-19 vaccines. That, or she was forcibly given one and it killed her.

Alley’s death was confirmed in a statement from her children True and Lillie Parker that was posted on social media Monday night. “We are sad to inform you that our incredible, fierce and loving mother has passed away after a battle with cancer, only recently discovered,” they said.

But within minutes of Alley’s death being announced, far-right conspiracy groups on platforms like Telegram were spinning up their own narratives, without any evidence, about why or how Alley died.

On the QAnon message board the Great Awakening, members concluded that the sudden nature of Alley’s death was a clear sign that her death was part of a global plot to silence critics of the COVID vaccines.

“I wholly believe the [deep state] has a way of dosing people with poisons that create aggressive cancers,” one member wrote. Another added: “She either just drew the short straw or she was poisoned by the Deep State for being a public Patriot.”

People who disdained vaccines and masks, and ended up dead from COVID-19 essentially killed themselves.

And Kirstie Alley died from cancer.

Something interesting about the great awakening forum is that if you say anything negative about Russia your posts will quickly be deleted. I've tested this numerous times and it's consistent. I suspect that site is part of a Ruskie influence operation. You'll find they are early adopters of any Russian propaganda. Perhaps some if it even originates from there. The people who are attracted to that site are prime candidates to become super spreaders of disinfo.

I attended the 2022 Deep State Convention as a Delegate. I wasn't on the COVID Death Committee, but I attended the meetings. Kirstie Alley was NOT on the hit list for 2022 or 2023. She was a maybe for 2024.
