Newsmax distanced itself from its White House correspondent after she claimed COVID vaccines contain

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Right-wing news network Newsmax distanced itself from one of its top reporters Thursday after she tweeted a bizarre false claim about the COVID-19 vaccine, saying it contains a bioluminescent marker that enables tracking.

The network's White House correspondent Emerald Robinson tweeted: "Dear Christians: The vaccines contain a bioluminescent marker called LUCIFERASE so that you can be tracked. Read the last book of the New Testament to see how this ends."

She was retweeting someone claiming that the Moderna COVID vaccine contains the substance.

The tweet has since been taken down for violating Twitter's rules, but Daily Beast media reporter Justin Baragona caught a screenshot:

Even too crazy for Newsmax

1. I believe that's the chemical that makes fireflies glow.

Someone here will know.

[jpak]

3. Yes, it's the enzyme used by fireflies

It's substrate is luciferin.

[FSogol]

4. So if you got vaccinated, clench your stomach really hard and your butt will light up.

[marybourg]

6. Probably!

🐞 (I know, that's a ladybug. That's the best I could do)

[Comfortably_Numb]

8. A long fart will light up a room.

5. It Is

It was coined by Dubois over a hundred years ago.
I'm not convinced, however, that the oxidation mechanism that causes the chemiluminescence wouldn't be so rapid in the human body to render it useless as a tracking agent.
Seems to me it would last a few minutes.
So, I think she is stupid & got trolled.

[Biophilic]

14. Ya think. Yeah, stupid and allowing herself to be trolled. And she has a job? Wow. nt

[keep_left]

18. It's used extensively in molecular biology, e.g. many processes used to make vaccines.

Emerald Robinson is a total moron.

7. Book of Revelation

Modern theological scholars characterize the Book of Revelation's author as "John of Patmos". The bulk of traditional sources date the book to the reign of the Roman emperor Domitian (AD 81–96).

John of Patmos was a crazy "prophet" living in a cave on a remote Greek island, he was NOT a companion of Jesus.

The inclusion of his rantings about 7 headed beasts and mark of the devil was hotly debated in the curia that decided official canon of the new testament. It was finally included because the pope wanted a story to scare people to Christian faith.

It should have been discarded centuries ago.

10. Coincidence: JOHN of Patmos and JOHN F Kennedy Jr?

[lapfog_1]

20. In the Bible, the Book of Revelations

was listed as "written by John" whom most people believe to be the apostle John.

The name John as used by Western Europeans, and likely the catholic Kennedy clan, is a appellation of the Apostle's name.

Possibly even John of Patmos was named after the Apostle John.

So... in a way JFK, and JFK, Jr. are both named after the same person that the writer of the Book of Revelations was named after... along with hundreds of millions of other people in the 2000 years since the time of Jesus and his apostles.

Assuming that Jesus and his apostles every really existed, of course.

9. Distanced from. Not fired from, note.

[lpbk2713]

11. Diabolical.

[blueinredohio]

12. I got the Moderns shot

and now that its autumn it gets dark before I get home from my after supper walk. No one has told me I'm glowing yet.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

13. Christian Crazy is a feature at Newsmax and Fox...almost like there was some connection...

[ret5hd]

15. ALL I KNOW IS...

when I hold a magnet to my forehead, my butt lights up and my Wi-Fi router tries to connect to China.

Just sayin’, folks. Just sayin’.

[onecaliberal]

16. How does it find its shoes in the morning?

[Shermann]

17. Luciferase actually is a tracking marker!

It marks your soul in order to locate it in Hell. Then your soul can be extracted back to purgatory enroute to Heaven. Don't forget Trump developed the damn thing.

What, you thought conservatives went straight to Heaven? Nah, they are using loopholes and dirty tricks like with everything else.

So her followers are opting out of their safety harness at the same time they're getting a nudge in that downwards direction.

19. Emerald Robinson is now suspended from NewsLeast...er...Newsmax.

She is already suspended from Twitter, which is mentioned in the AdWeek article. I don't understand why Twitter hasn't canned her completely. She's Tweeted exactly this kind of crap before, and she will do so again the moment she returns.
