Analysis / Bias
Wake Up Sheeple! consistently publishes content that aligns with conspiracy theories and pseudoscientific claims. For instance, the article “Fauci is back in the limelight and he’s busy promoting a future COVID or flu pandemic” portrays Dr. Anthony Fauci as orchestrating future pandemics, a narrative commonly found in conspiracy circles.
Another article, “Death by doctor: Why and how doctors are now paid to kill their patients”, suggests that medical professionals are incentivized to harm patients, a claim that lacks credible evidence and promotes distrust in healthcare systems.
The piece titled “Another major study confirms COVID vaccines cause VAIDS” propagates the debunked notion that COVID-19 vaccines lead to Vaccine Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (VAIDS), a concept not recognized by the scientific community.
The site’s News Feed aggregates content from sources known for disseminating misinformation and conspiracy theories. Notable among these are:
