A new conspiracy theory has taken hold in the anti-masker/anti-vaxxer/anti-common-sense community. It’s always a tricky tightrope with things like these, wanting to share some bananas news but also not wanting to give more oxygen to dangerous conspiracies. This one, though, is so far removed from any sense of reality that the threat of giving it any sort of validation seems impossibly low.
Reuters, the theory puts forward the idea that vaccinated people “shed” vaccine particles and that those particles can be ingested or otherwise absorbed by non-vaccinated people. These people believe that this causes special harm to pregnant people and can lead to miscarriage or otherwise affect reproductive systems.
