Qanon moves on to vaccine hesitancy & conspiracies

The big tent of conspiracies moves along, the qanon people are now on something called Telegram, with 100's of thousands of people in these groups, and their chatter is almost exclusively about vaccines now. When one conspiracy quietly dies, the locusts move on to the next thing.
Misinformation and conspiratorial thinking are infecting our culture, and propagated by social media. Social media will be the undoing of our society, and it's not just because of the impossible narcissism that it breeds, it will be because reality is no longer an objective and shared mutual understanding, it is fractured into little spheres of influence where everyone knows everything and expertise is just elitism.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/03/11/with-trump-gone-qanon-groups-focus-fury-attacking-covid-vaccines/ With Trump gone, QAnon groups focus fury on attacking coronavirus vaccines Conspiracy theories about covid and vaccines once ran rampant on the likes of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. But months of purges of accounts that trafficked heavily in misinformation - especially after the baseless QAnon ideology helped fuel the Jan. 6 siege on the U.S. Capitol - have driven adherents to the less visible but still virulent world of private groups on encrypted chat apps such as Telegram. Some groups have hundreds of thousands of users.

Is there a website where Qanon publishes their conspiracy theories? I’m not really familiar with this group other than what I’ve read on this board. Curious to see what they’re publishing.

The QAnon "drops" from the "real Q" happened on 4Chan or something like that. It would get picked up and circulated by "Q Influencers" on twitter, facebook groups, etc. Eventually what gets filtered down into people's social media feeds is often something as simple as the one lady in the mommy group that sells essential oils posting about hold pedophiles and child sex traffickers will pick off kids at Target.
So, to answer your question, there are places that lots, lots and lots, of people go to get this stuff straight from the source. The Q influencer accounts on Twitter had millions of followers. Much more difficult now that they are permabanned from basically all mainstream platforms, but they naturally find a way to congregate back together.
The more common scenario is that you see that one, or two, or handful of people that you know that will post stuff that they hear, or conspiracies they see on youtube vids, etc. Heck, people on this very forum are basically main-lining Q conspiracies here for everyone to see, even if they're not labelled as such.

Hard to believe anyone still believes that Q junk, especially since all of their other predictions never materialized.

Yes, but that's the beauty of it. Outside of a few limited cases, predictions not coming to fruition doesn't force people to reconcile their beliefs with reality, excuses are made and the train moves on down the track to the next thing. It's a mindset, not any one particular belief.

crazy. However, I see your juvenile tactic here of trying to associate anyone who disagrees with you - who has obviously just swallowed everything the MSM has regurgitated into your pie hole - as some sort of crazy conspiracy theorist.
The government lies, we all know this. People who point this out are not crazy conspiracy theorists, and it's dishonest and really just sh*tty to try and paint them that way.

Speaking of regurgitating things you hear or see on youtube videos, why don't you tell us all again about how the COVID vaccines are "gene therapy," and how exactly it is you've come to that conclusion?

Heard they started a new one today: “no crisis at the border.”
