#USBiolabs has been trending. The account claiming that Putin may have attacked US biolabs in Ukraine, presumably in response to covid conspiracies, is a follower of Q, has called for the execution of police, media, officials, and doctors, and has pushed past racist rhetoric.

WarClandestine’s thread has thousands of RT’s and uses a map with circled locations as evidence.

That’s the problem. The locations don’t match up exactly. There also might be a McDonald’s in all those locations but it doesn’t mean Russia is targeting them.

What does this latest conspiracy theory mean?

Anti-vaccine and anti-mask conspiracy folks will in the US will see Russia’s attack on Ukraine as affirming their covid conspiracy theories. They will view attempts to sanction or retaliate against Russia as attempts at coverup.

Let’s take a look at the account that got #USBiolabs trending.
