In January 2022, a video was circulated on platforms such as Telegram, Gettr, and Bitchute that supposedly showed the heads of people in Israel who had been vaccinated for COVID-19 exploding after the country switched on their 5G network. As this video is real (albeit it has nothing to do with COVID-19 vaccines or 5G) and features genuine images of people dying, we won't show it here. But here's a screenshot of one social media post for reference: This video is unrelated to the COVID-19 pandemic. It also has nothing to do with 5G cellular networks. This video cobbles together footage from 2019 of protesters in Iraq (not Israel) who were killed after being shot with non-lethal gas canisters. In October 2019, when these protesters were killed after being shot at point blank range with gas canisters, Lynn Maalouf, Middle East Research Director at Amnesty International, said: Here's a news report about these protests from NBC News. The man in the red and grey shirt from the above-displayed screenshot of the Parler post about vaxxed peoples heads exploding due to 5G can be seen at the 2:07 mark of the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RAQ48HPSQwThis viral video does not show vaxxed peoples heads exploding due to 5G. In reality, someone cut together footage of people being fatally shot at close range with gas canisters and then miscaptioned the video with a ludicrous claims about COVID-19 vaccines and 5G network. This gruesome rumor is just the latest evolution in the conspiracy theory that the COVID-19 vaccines contain some sort of microchip and that 5G internet (which has been slowly rolling out since 2016) causes serious health complications.
