Anyone besides me get their second booster shot?

For some reason, since I was in my thirties, each time I got a flu vaccine, I got the flu. I quit getting flu vaccines after three years.

Enter Covid. I got the Moderna and had Covid a few days later.
I won’t get any more vaccines.

Some people in my family had adverse reactions, but thankfully, not life-threatening.

So, I understand that vaccines are a private decision.

Who is Bryan Ardis?

As we have also reported, QAnon has been closely linked to debunked and dangerous cures in the past, especially around Covid-19. Now, there’s a running debate about whether or not the CDC is poisoning water supplies with snake venom. The claims reportedly originate from former chiropractor Bryan Ardis, who has since defended the bonkers theory.

The man behind the theory is Dallas-Fort Worth-based Bryan Ardis, who is currently the “Chief Formulating Officer” of Ardis Labs. An alumnus of Brigham Young University and Parker College of Chiropractic, Ardis ran his own healing center between 2004 and 2018 in both Tennessee and Texas. According to Tennessee state records, he is now voluntarily retired. Ardis now spends his time selling cures online under the brand Ardis Labs, which was launched in 2019.

Along with Ardis Labs, the doctor also spends his time spreading fake medical theories and claims, mostly around Covid-19. He once appeared on an “expert panel” discussion about Covid-19 at the Pennsylvania State Capitol. During that discussion, he claimed, “remdesivir is killing people… remdesivir is proven to kill lives.” Before that, he appeared on Alex Jones’ ‘Infowars’ show and claimed, “They’re driving a narrative to kill as many Americans as possible,” about the use of remdesivir. He also once claimed the Covid-19 vaccines make people magnetic.

He’s now claiming that Covid-19 “is not a respiratory virus of any kind”, adding, “It is actually venom poisoning… they’re administering them and targeting them to certain people.” How did he come about this claim? You can thank TV for that.

Ardis claimed that the CDC planted cobra venom in water supplies to “transfer Satanic DNA to unsuspecting people.” He first said this in the documentary ‘Watch the Water’, produced by Stew Peters. Ardis came to this conclusion after watching ‘The Blacklist’, the NBC show starring James Spader. In one episode, Spader’s character suspects he has been poisoned by venom in a beverage.

“When I saw this, I knew. I I was right, I knew I was supposed to see that, because it was confirmation to me that other people knew this was planned all along, which, we’ve known this was a plan ,” he claimed. Ardis then goes on to make several more wild accusations, such as “They are using the water systems because they can target specific demographics,” and the plot originated from “the Catholic Church or whoever.”

Once the theory blew up amongst QAnon, Ardis appeared on QAnon figure Ann Vandersteel’s show to defend his theory, saying, “The story is not the water.” He then begged, “Please, please, please do not try to destroy my reputation of trying to save lives because I said to a person ‘I think they’re doing it in the water.” He used that appearance also to downplay the theory a bit after some questions were raised.

However, it may already be too late. Ardis’ theory has spawned numerous solutions to a problem that doesn’t even exist. QAnon promoter Phil Godlewski launched a water filtration system that costs hundreds of dollars. One anti-vaxxer, Christopher Key, has begun telling supporters he will mail them chlorine dioxide as a cure. More are expected to come, as QAnon followers flock toward these bizarre solutions thanks to Ardis.
