DISINFO: Navalny may have died due to a mRNA vaccine supplied by Germany
SUMMARY
The Western agent in Russia, Alexei Navalny, died because of a blood clot. According to some reliable rumours, he received four doses of messenger RNA genic therapy while being in jail, because he did not trust the anti-Covid vaccine developed by Russian scientists. He got 4 doses of graphene, courtesy of the German embassy. One cannot say that the blood clot was 100 percent caused by the genic therapy, but it certainly seems a real possibility, as it has already taken the lives of sport stars and TV presenters in front of cameras.
RESPONSE
This conspiracy theory, not backed by any evidence, aims to increase vaccine hesitancy among Western audiences while diverting any Russian responsibility for the death of Alexei Navalny - a frequent target of pro-Kremlin disinformation. The reasons for his death remain unclear.
Efforts to prevent Navalny's family from accessing his body, coupled with reports of an FSB team visiting the prison and tampering with security cameras, which ultimately malfunctioned on the day of Navalny's death, fuel suspicions of a possible state-sanctioned murder by Russian authorities.
Russia has promoted anti-vaccination disinformation for years. Allegations about celebrities dying due to the mRNA vaccine are unsubstantiated, and scientific studies have found no evidence of an increased risk of death following inoculation with this type of vaccine.
See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that COVID-19 vaccines are more dangerous to most people than the virus itself, that the poisoning of drug addict Navalny was a hoax, that the West tried to destabilise Russia by using Navalny in 2021, or that Navalny was allegedly poisoned to unleash a new anti-Russian campaign.
