(The Daily Beast) – A leading QAnon promoter who urged both her followers and strangers she passed on the street not to take the COVID vaccine died Thursday of the coronavirus, making her just the latest vaccine opponent killed by the disease.

Cirsten Weldon had amassed tens of thousands of followers across right-wing social media networks by promoting the pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy under the screenname “CirstenW.” She was prominent enough to become a sort of QAnon interpreter for comedian conspiracy theorist Roseanne Barr and started recording videos about QAnon with her.

Weldon focused on attacking vaccines and other efforts to fight COVID-19, saying in one video that Dr. Anthony Fauci “needs to be hung from a rope.” She claimed the vaccine killed people and even recorded herself yelling at people standing in line to receive vaccines.

“The vaccines kill, don’t get it!” Weldon warned the waiting vaccine recipients in an undated video posted to one of her online accounts. “This is how gullible these idiots are. They’re all getting vaccine!”

In late December, however, Weldon started showing symptoms of coronavirus infection. In her last video, posted on 28 December 2021, Weldon struggled through her remarks about the coming overthrow of the United States government, coughing and complaining that she was exhausted.

Three days later, Weldon was hospitalized in Camarillo, California. She posted a picture of herself wearing an oxygen mask to Instagram and claimed she had “bacterial pneumonia.” Weldon wrote in a post on the social media network Telegram that she refused to take coronavirus treatment remdesivir, calling it “Dr Fauci’s Resmedervir (sic).”

Weldon’s death from COVID is just the latest instance of a far-right personality who opposed vaccination being killed by the virus. On Jan. 3, radio host Doug Kuzma died while infected with the coronavirus. In August, QAnon promoter Robert David Steele died of the virus shortly after posting a picture of himself in an oxygen mask and vowing to still refuse the vaccine.

In September, a QAnon follower named Veronica Wolski became a cause celebre in QAnon circles after she was hospitalized with the coronavirus. QAnon fans besieged the hospital with phone calls demanding that Wolski receive ivermectin, the deworming drug used by some as an unproven coronavirus treatment. Wolski died of the disease later that month.

In the face of these deaths, their surviving friends and supporters have started to allege that the dead QAnon figures are being murdered, either because they were refused internet folk remedies like ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine, or because they were killed by the deep-state to cover up their conspiracy theories. In December, Kuzma and a number of other conspiracy theorists were sickened with COVID-like symptoms after appearing together at a conference. Rather than acknowledge that they had COVID, the far-right influencers suggested they had been targeted by an anthrax attack. [more]

Cirsten Weldon, 61, Sarasota, FL, “Influencer”, Q-tuber, anti-vaxx, dead from COVID.

7 January 2022 (Sorry Antivaxxer) – According to social media posts (below), Cirsten Tien Soong Weldon died from COVID. Cirsten is a well-known Qanon Conspiracy “Qtuber” who does live feed shows and posts on Telegram. She wrote “Intel Drops” which is a conspiracy theory laden book she claims was an Amazon best seller until Amazon “killed it” by removing it.

She is sometimes listed as an actress but her only roles listed on IMDB were as “girl in a car” in The Doors and “an agent’s girlfriend” in Hard to Die, she was topless in both scenes. She became an interior designer and owner of Eurasiadesigns, and claims that she has done work all over the world including New Zealand, Los Angeles, Hawaii, Florida, New York, Napa, Florida, and Tennessee. When she died, she was living with her parents in Sarasota.

She was once featured in Newsweek for claiming that Hillary Clinton died of “Kuru” which is a disease you can get from eating human infected brains and that Angela Merkel is in “stage 3” of the same disease. As recently as 28 December 2021 she was live on her show coughing and clearly very ill, claiming she had the flu and was going to be traveling the next day. Let’s hope she didn’t! [more]
