On October 4th at 2:20 ET, all Americans will recieve an alert on their phones, to test FEMA’s emergency alert system. If this event does not frighten you into catatonia, you aren’t paying sufficient attention to antivaxxers and Qtards.
CLAIM: An emergency broadcast system test on Oct. 4 will send a signal to cell phones nationwide in order to activate nanoparticles such as graphene oxide that have been introduced into peopleâs bodies.
THE FACTS: Social media users are raising dire warnings about upcoming tests of the national emergency warning system.
Many are imploring their followers to shut off their cellphones on the day of the test because they believe itâs part of a broader conspiracy to exert control over the population.
One popular video shows a woman claiming the test will somehow switch on technology that has been introduced into peopleâs bodies.
âThe emergency broadcasting system under FEMA is going to be activated,â the woman explains, speaking directly into the camera. âItâs not a test. Itâs going to be sending these high frequency signals into cell phones, radios, TVs. The intention of activating nanoparticles, including graphene oxide.â
In another widely shared video, a man issues a similar warning, adding that graphene oxide and other nanoparticles have been inserted into billions of human beings around the world âthrough obvious mediums.â
âEveryone will be affected, regardless of status,â he adds in the video, which was widely shared on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, along with the hashtag âCovidVaccine.â
But while FEMA is conducting a routine test of its emergency warning system … there is no truth to the claim that it will emit a wireless signal that will somehow activate graphene oxide or nanoparticles in the body.
Stanley Perlman, professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, said the claims appear to be referring to old myths about the contents of COVID vaccines.
These baseless conspiracy theories claim — without evidence — that the vaccines contain various materials, such as graphene oxide or other nanoparticles, that can interact with wireless communications technology. They claim that the materials, when activated, can allow governments to control and monitor people.
But graphene oxide â a material made by oxidizing graphite â isnât an ingredient in the COVID vaccine, notes Matthew Laurens, a pediatric infectious disease specialist with the Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
âGraphene oxide is not in the mRNA-based vaccines for COVID-19 manufactured by Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna,â he wrote in an email Monday. âGraphene oxide was used to study vaccine structure only, and is not part of the vaccine formulation.â
Regardless, the notion that graphene oxide can be âactivatedâ in this way is ânonsense,â wrote Julia Greer, a materials science professor at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena who has used graphene oxide in her research, in an email Monday.
âYou canât âactivateâ graphene oxide,â she wrote. âWhat does that even mean?â
Why, it means you haven’t been doing your research, doc. Wake up!

Several people have pointed out that if we had been zombified, we’d be doomed – there would be nothing to eat.
Well, the alerts went off on time (5 devices in my household), yet somehow I managed to escape the vaccine nanoparticle attack so I am able to type this.
But… is anyone reading it? Maybe I’m the Last Man On Earth!

Incredible the way they are so concerned about what the vaccine will do to people while being totally unaware that social media has turned their brains into mush. Who exactly are the zombies here?
These baseless conspiracy theories claim â without evidence â that the vaccines contain various materials, such as graphene oxide or other nanoparticles, that can interact with wireless communications technology. They claim that the materials, when activated, can allow governments to control and monitor people. The babbling idiots in repub congress got this a day early.
