QAnon conspiracists were quick to claim that Cheers actor Kirstie Alley on Monday was possibly murdered because of her outspoken criticism of the COVID-19 vaccines. That, or she was forcibly given one and it killed her.
Alleys death was confirmed in a statement from her children True and Lillie Parker that was posted on social media Monday night. We are sad to inform you that our incredible, fierce and loving mother has passed away after a battle with cancer, only recently discovered, they said.
But within minutes of Alleys death being announced, far-right conspiracy groups on platforms like Telegram were spinning up their own narratives, without any evidence, about why or how Alley died.
On the QAnon message board the Great Awakening, members concluded that the sudden nature of Alleys death was a clear sign that her death was part of a global plot to silence critics of the COVID vaccines.
I wholly believe the [deep state] has a way of dosing people with poisons that create aggressive cancers, one member wrote. Another added: She either just drew the short straw or she was poisoned by the Deep State for being a public Patriot.

And Kirstie Alley died from cancer.

(634 posts)Something interesting about the great awakening forum is that if you say anything negative about Russia your posts will quickly be deleted. I've tested this numerous times and it's consistent. I suspect that site is part of a Ruskie influence operation. You'll find they are early adopters of any Russian propaganda. Perhaps some if it even originates from there. The people who are attracted to that site are prime candidates to become super spreaders of disinfo.
