Antivaxxers are looking at #CovidVaccines under the microscope and finding "horrifying" things. This is an old antivax and quack technique that has long produced hilariously ridiculous results.

Every thing old is new again. I know that my readers probably get tired of my saying this, but its true. Since the pandemic began, there is not a single piece of misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines or single technique of portraying them as horrifically dangerous that is new. Be they weaponizing VAERS to blame vaccines for death and destruction, claiming that vaccines are sterilizing our women, portraying them as laden with frighteningly awful toxins, or many others, the antivax tropes reborn for COVID-19 vaccines that are shocking those previously oblivious to them are simply repackagings, tweaks, and reinventions of old antivax tropes that Ive been writing about for nearly two decades. There is, however, one that I hadnt seen yet (or at least hadnt written about yet), and thats when antivaxxers start looking at vaccines under the microscope. That changed when I saw this doozy of an article on that center of all quackery, antivaccine nonsense, and conspiracy theories on the Internet, Mike Adams website Natural News, in the form of a story entitled, SHOCK: German physicians discover astonishing impurities in COVID vaccine. Predictably (at least to those of us whove been following the antivaccine movement, it involves antivax scientists looking at COVID-19 vaccines under a microscope and finding things, horrifying things although I will give them credit for going on step beyond what antivaxxers used to do and finding impurities in the blood of the vaccinated as well:
A group of German doctors and researchers have become the latest to find substantial impurities in COVID-19 vaccines as well as the blood of vaccinated individuals.
As reported by the RAIR Foundation, the pathologists presented an analysis complete with video and photos of the vaccine during a shocking but little-publicized press conference in September, a clip of which has been translated for the organization.
According to the video and presentation, foreign objects were discovered in the vaccines along with the blood of some people who were given the jabs.
Some of the foreign objects were described as accurately constructed and also shockingly worms that were hatched from eggs, the foundation said in a report.
Unsurprisingly:
The live-streamed press conference was organized by the Stiftung Corona-Ausschuss, which can be loosely described as Germanys equivalent of Americas Frontline Doctors. As expected, their remarkable presentation was slammed by the German legacy media.
Americas Frontline Doctors, you might recall, is a group of quacks who came to prominence during the summer of 2020 for promoting the use of hydroxychloroquine as a miracle cure for COVID-19, moved on to promoting the anthelminthic drug ivermectin asyou guessed it!a miracle cure for COVID-19, and are now promoting a cocktail of drugs for the early treatment of COVID-19. So seeing the German version of Americas Frontline Doctors pull a stunt like this definitely tracks.
