It Only Took a Few Minutes for Anti-Vaxxers to Start Spreading Lisa Marie Presley Conspiracy Theories

As has become all too predictable in the wake of a celebrity’s death, especially those who die at a young age, cranks, conspiracists, right-wing figures and even fellow celebrities were sharing conspiracy theories about Presley’s death being linked to the COVID-19 vaccine.

There is no public evidence that Presley had been vaccinated against COVID-19, but some people shared a screenshot of a Facebook post from March citing it as evidence that Presley had been vaccinated and said she had “no regrets” about it.

But a VICE News review of the Facebook post found that the message was not posted by Presley, but by a Spanish beauty blogger whose account has the screen name “Lisa Marie.”

These claims were made on mainstream social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, while even wilder conspiracies spread on fringe platforms like Truth Social and Telegram, and message boards like The Donald.

Among the earliest promoters of the bogus claims was Travis Tritt, a country music singer who posted on Truth Social: “This is unbelievably sad. How many more of these premature deaths have to happen before people start to question what the cause is?”

In case there was any doubt, Tritt followed up with another post: “It is the vaccines and boosters, stupid!”

Fox News commentator Tomi Lahren also hinted at a conspiracy when she posted “a lot of sudden deaths lately” on her Instagram account, which has 1.9 million followers.

Lahren’s post is an example of how much of the anti-vax conspiracy theories about Presley’s death are shared in semi-coded language about people dying suddenly, or skeptical claims that this was “another coincidence.”

Another celebrity sharing false claims was actor, Jim Caviezel, who has embraced a number of conspiracy communities in recent years, including QAnon. “Mockingbird Media doesn’t want anyone questioning whether it was from COVID shot,” Caviezel wrote on his Telegram channel, referencing an alleged Cold War-era CIA operation to manipulate the media.

However some others promoted another theory that linked Presley’s death back to a conspiracy theory that her father did not die in 1977, but was actually placed in witness protection and is still alive.

Another theory floated by some QAnon adherents was that Presley was murdered because she was speaking up about child sex abuse and so the so-called “deep state” killed her to protect the liberal, Democratic elite who they—baselessly—believe are running global sex trafficking rings.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Well, all I can say is that I have had all the vaccines and boosters and I'm not dead yet!

You know, if the COVID vaccine was that dangerous, you'd expect there to be some massive die-offs, what with the fact that (as of yesterday) 63.5% of the world's population has completed the initial two-dose protocol. And 69.1% have had at least one dose. For this narrative they're pushing to make any sense, there'd have to be some serious population bottlenecks happening.

If conspiracy theorists were adept at critical thinking and risk analysis, they wouldn't be conspiracy theorists.

I alternate between annoyance with and pity for the people who believe and propagate conspiracies. I hold nothing other than contempt for the people who start them.

So, the New York Times published a credulous story today about Jacques Vallée’s ridiculous claims about the Trinity UFO crash of 1945, with no contrary views, giving credence both to the tall tales about an avocado-shaped UFO piloted by tiny beings recalled seven decades after the fact by people who were first graders at the time, and to Vallée’s claim that federal UFO legislation was purposely altered to incorporate these asinine ideas.
