A Mexican cardinal has been censored by Facebook after claiming that the Covid-19 pandemic is part of a \u201cnew world order plot\u201d and saying vaccines against the disease contain satanic microchips.<\/p>\n
Cardinal Juan Sandoval Iniguez claimed in a video on the social media platform that vaccines to combat the spread of the coronavirus contain\u00a0\u201cthe mark of the beast.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n In a video titled \u2018Plot of a new world order\u2019, which was released on January 12, the 87-year-old claimed that the pandemic will continue for several more years.<\/p>\n \u201cThis pandemic won’t end in a month or two months, perhaps not this year, perhaps not in three, four, five, six years. That’s what these men want,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n Sandoval went on to blast Bill Gates, saying the Microsoft founder has given himself the attributes of a\u00a0\u201cprophet\u201d<\/em>\u00a0by forecasting the outbreak of deadly diseases.<\/p>\n \u201cIt turns out, coincidentally, that a laboratory in Atlanta, of which Bill Games is a benefactor, has a strain of smallpox, so we are prepared for this new pandemic,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n Facebook quickly censored the post, making the video inaccessible and adding a warning that read:\u00a0\u201cThis publication repeats information about COVID-19, which independent fact checkers indicated is false.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
