Conspiracy Theories Spread As Man Dies From New Bird Flu Strain
Social media platforms are awash with conspiracy theories following the death of a Mexican man from a new strain of bird flu.
The theories are largely based on the false belief that the U.S. government is concocting a new pandemic ahead of the November election, four years on from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, as a means to control the population and presumably tip the result in President Joe Biden's favor.
Charlie Kirk, founder and CEO of conservative organization Turning Point USA, posted: "Election flu season is officially upon us! Bring it."
Kirk's post included a screenshot of web search results for news about the Mexican man's death.
Conservative podcast host Joey Mannarino said: "Let me explain something about the bird flu outbreak. I won't vaccinate for it. I won't mask for it. I won't social distance for it. I won't use a "green pass" for it. I won't do ANYTHING for it. Go f*** yourselves."
Toby Rogers, who has more than 60,000 X followers and says he has a Ph.D, posted: "The dude who supposedly died of bird flu in Mexico had "chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes" and "had no history of exposure to poultry." Oh, so basically they made up the bird flu part. Because of course they did."

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"
