I posted a comment as a joke response to a friend years ago, definitely before COVID, I wanna say like 2018, saying that you can hold a raw potato to the “vaccine wound” and someone thought I was being serious, screenshot it, and spread it everywhere. So if you ever hear that people believe a potato will remove a vaccine, you now know who to blame for that.
This was 100% made up by me. I posted this. I personally am responsible for a small conspiracy theory.
An article someone wrote about it, apparently it was early 2019.
This is exactly how easily misinformation gets spread around btw. Like there are multiple articles about this half-assed shitpost. I absolutely 100% invented it out of thin air. Zero basis. Just was going through my “potatoes are funny” phase.
you’re the person to blame?! lol, same shit with stuff like “8 spiders a year”. it’s weird how critique/parody of misinformation ends up becoming its own misinformation.
This is brilliant though because maybe anti vaxxers will go ahead and get vaccinated in the belief they can undo it with a potato. Job done.
