Prof Brian Cox’s epic response to a debunked Covid conspiracy theory is something else

It is one of the weirder Covid conspiracies.

Republican leaders have condemned party colleague Marjorie Taylor Greene over her “appalling” comparison of Covid-19 safety measures to the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany. It comes as, over in the UK, we are also more than capable of insane conspiracies around Covid.

“Marjorie is wrong, and her intentional decision to compare the horrors of the Holocaust with wearing masks is appalling,” House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy said in a statement, while stopping short of calling for disciplinary measures.

“The fact that this needs to be stated today is deeply troubling.”

Ms Greene, a conservative firebrand Representative from Georgia and ally of former President Donald Trump, has thrived on stirring controversy, pushing conspiracy theories and forcefully confronting her colleagues since taking her seat in the House in January.

Vaccinated employees get a vaccination logo just like the Nazi’s forced Jewish people to wear a gold star.

Vaccine passports & mask mandates create discrimination against unvaxxed people who trust their immune systems to a virus that is 99% survivable.https://t.co/6X6VNolcA7

Prof Cox

Back in blighty there was a conspiracy theory that the Covid vaccine makes you bluetoot-enabled. Yep, you wish it was a joke.

To clear this up Full Fact tweeted: “The Covid-19 vaccines do not make you Bluetooth-enabled, as some have claimed on social media. There is nothing in the vaccine that could possibly have anything to do with Bluetooth.”

It wasn’t just Professor Cox who had something to say on this theory.

Nonsense. As soon as I got back from the vaccination centre I immediately paired with the cat. pic.twitter.com/lifHE6MRsV

I heard it uses Bluetooth 5.2 but my phone only has 4.1 which is why I can't pair myself with my phone. Should I get a new phone or will there be an over the air update do you think?

I don’t know about Bluetooth but my internet speeds genuinely increased by 40% after only one dose of the AZ vaccine.

*The installation of upgraded fibre-optic broadband and a new mesh WiFi system at the time was purely circumstantial.

This must be a piss take, surely?

There can't be enough people out there who genuinely think this might be the case for fact checkers to really do this.

There can't.

Can there?

Lordy.

This is why I'm thinking of burning tyres in my back garden instead of joining others in trying to save the planet.

We're just not worth saving.

But we will leave it to Prof Cox to sign off with this tweet…

If you’re daft enough to believe this I’d imagine you’re too stupid to successfully pair yourself with another Bluetooth device anyway. https://t.co/SRb1PWI3yZ
