Are COVID-19 government efforts a plot to kill people or turn them into genetically modified 'transhumans'?

By Sarah Thompson
NO

Sherri Tenpenny, a controversial osteopathic medical doctor, marketer, and evangelist, claimed in a new video that there is a plot to kill and control humanity through vaccines.

Many of her specific claims have been debunked before. Now, she is also saying that COVID-19 vaccines will connect humans to the internet via quantum entanglement, a term from physics.

A physics professor at the University of Oxford called this "completely unrealistic. Besides, to 'hook us' up to the internet, one does not need quantum physics - classical electromagnetic theory is sufficient (any cochlear implant testifies to that)."

This fact brief is responsive to conversations such as this one.
