While talking at Hardaway’s funeral service onJan 21, Richardson, much better understood by the tag of “Silk,” showed up to press a widely-debunked “died suddenly” conspiracy concept.
In current months, the use of both words “died suddenly” had actually come to be a method to press a report that presumes, without reputable proof, that COVID-19 vaccinations have actually enhanced occurrences of individuals unexpectedly passing away with little to no caution.

So what I wish to claim to everyone is do not you attempt call me a conspiracy theory philosopher, since I saw it take place. I saw just how it took place. I existed when it took place, and also it took place unexpectedly I desire America to get up and also focus. Something ain’t right. It’s time to explore what’s truly taking place below, and also obtain some solution to why individuals are dropping dead unexpectedly
The AP likewise kept in mind that Richardson “insinuated Hardaway may have been ‘poisoned’ by another person who had been vaccinated, amplifying the false notion that recipients can affect those around them.”

Right- wing protestor Rogan O’Handley, whose account has a blue checkmark given that he is signed up for Twitter Blue for $8 each month, tweeted, “This is horrible to watch. Diamond said she couldn’t breathe and then died suddenly. Silk is demanding answers about the vaccine and what it did to her sister. Why does this keep happening?! Why do healthy Americans keep dying suddenly out of nowhere?!”
Further, Twitter customer @DiedSuddenly _, likewise a Twitter Blue customer, made use of a syringe emoji as an obvious referral to vaccinations when referencing Silk’s comments:
However, once more, the AP reported that Hardaway’s death certification claimed that she passed away of heart problem because of persistent hypertension.
