Far-Right Group Fantasizes They've Been Attacked With AnthraxI have been following this saga for days. Basically, the guys behind the ‘election fraud audits’ are all sick after attending Michael Flynn and Clay Clark’s big QAnon conference, and they believe that anthrax was pumped in through the churches’ fog machines to poison them. pic.twitter.com/C8yL7mdRZ8

Several right-wing personalities claim they were hit with bioweapons at a Texas event starring Eric Trump, ensnaring organizers in a bonkers new conspiracy theory.

A baseless claim of a bioweapons attack in the form of anthrax pouring from fog machines at a far-right QAnon-friendly ReAwaken America Tour event earlier this month in Texas has left conspiracy theorists petrified.Following the event—which took place in Dallas and featured prominent speakers like Eric Trump, Mike Lindell, and Michael Flynn—several presenters and attendees reported falling ill.
While the Omicron variant of the coronavirus has surged throughout the United States, the group of ardently pro-Trump activists have not chalked the illnesses up to COVID-19, but rather something far more sinister and unlikely.
Joe Oltmann, a far-right hanger-on who hosts the Conservative Daily podcast and attended the gathering, alleged on Sunday that he was the victim of an anthrax attack. "South Florida peeps. I have a [sic] urgent need! I have been sick with what could be an anthrax attack it turns out. More later on this," he wrote on Telegram, a messaging app beloved by the extreme right. . . .
The anthrax rumor gained further steam as Oltmann floated on Telegram that fellow 2020 election conspiracy theorist Jovan Pulitzer—who had come in close contact with Oltmann during the ReAwaken America event—may have also come down with anthrax poisoning. . . .
"Please pray for him. Bring the spirit of healing upon him. In Jesus name, Amen," Oltmann posted on Monday. "Might be Anthrax." . . .
Eventually, on Wednesday, Oltmann said he was able to make contact: "Jovan just reached out," he wrote. . . . "Negative for Anthrax. . . . [S]o no idea what he has." . . .
According to Clay Clark, ReAwaken America Tour's lead organizer . . . [W]e have done seven events of these so far, and at each event, people have claimed they have been attacked by a bio-weapon. This is actually normal for me."
Fox [Propaganda] Hosts 'Acknowledge' They're Back to Working Remotely Amid Omicron Spike: 'We're in Boxes'
Justin Baragona, The Daily Beast, December 22, 2021
With COVID-19 cases exploding in New York City due to the Omicron variant, Fox News is back to remotely taping some of its New York-based programs until after the holidays. On Wednesday, both Fox & Friends and The Five broadcast from remote locations, prompting Jesse Watters to grouse that he and his Five colleagues weren't sitting at their trademarked table. "So, I think we all have to acknowledge here we're in boxes," he sighed, using studio jargon. "We don't want to be in boxes. We hate being in boxes. We resisted being in boxes. We were told to be in a box out of an abundance of caution, just to get us through the holidays and, hopefully, we will be back to the normal table situation when we return from said holiday." While many of the network’s hosts and commentators have relentlessly railed on-air about vaccine mandates and COVID-19 mitigation efforts, Fox’s parent company has implemented a stringent vaccine policy and recently announced all New York employees will need to be vaccinated to work in the office.

Trump acknowledged he's boosted and faced jeers from his supporters for doing so. Asked the same question on Fox News, Ron DeSantis reacted as if he was just asked to recite his bank account and Social Security numbers. https://t.co/KKcQFGW6re

So many people are going to die needlessly this winter. But for Lauren Boebert, it’s all just a big joke. Owning the libs, until they are begging for help from an ER doctor. pic.twitter.com/Gk91T9A2OD

I read hundreds of posts like this a day. ‘Biden said he would get a handle on covid, so why isn’t it over?’ It’s a worldwide pandemic. With new variants. And the same people trying to blame Biden are the ones telling their people “Do Not Comply” with any of his covid policies. pic.twitter.com/WvV4Y2FK2b

Sarah Palin showed up in Phoenix this morning to tell that crowd “it will be over my dead body” that she gets vaccinated. Then she encourages others to “stiffen their spines” and fight back. “There is an empowerment in a group like this where we can kind of feed off each other.” pic.twitter.com/t47oxxrGtB

Sarah Palin is an evergreen reminder that the blazing idiocy on display in the Republican Party these days did not start with Donald Trump.https://t.co/KYXpXkpqu1

I’d be interested to know how she got to Phoenix without proof of vaccination.
