“I don’t even know what to say to people who say I’m dead,” she told The Daily Beast in a recent interview. “I’m not.”
between monkeypox and a crash involving dozens of monkeys, reframing the incident as a clear sign of the long-planned and manufactured nature of this new supposed pandemic-to-be.[and] 6 months later we have a Monkey Pox outbreak!!???” one conspiratorial Reddit forum user posted in mid-May.
Michele Fallon of Pennsylvania told The Daily Beast that she started seeing people on social media claiming she’d had monkeypox and was now dead almost as soon as she heard about the first case of monkeypox in the United States. She was baffled by the apparent shift in the way conspiracies portrayed her. “One minute you’re saying I’m fake, and now you’re saying I’m real,” she noted, incredulously.
An obituary for a different woman named Michele Lee Fallon Riffle became “evidence” of a coverup for the conspiracy theorists.Unsurprisingly, as soon as you so much as lightly tug on any of the threads tying together this crash, Fallon’s alleged death, and the monkeypox outbreak, the entire theory falls right apart.
Attempts to equate Fallon and Fallon Riffle don’t scan, either. Fallon is 45 while Fallon Riffle was 51, and the two don’t look alike. Even a few members of conspiracy forums have pointed out all the wild leaps and factual flaws in the theories linking Fallon’s “death” to the monkeypox outbreak. However, most in these circles who cast doubt on the story do so not due to factual issues but instead because it does not gel with their own wild and baseless narratives.
