Coronavirus Australia live: Gary Ablett Sr posts COVID-19 conspiracy theory video
Aussie legend Gary Ablett Sr has raised eyebrows after posting a lengthy, bizarre conspiracy theory rant on YouTube, declaring the coronavirus was “deliberately designed”.
The 58-year-old – who is the father of fellow AFL great Gary Ablett Jr – also declared that the rapture was “imminent” and the race to find a COVID-19 vaccine was a “trans-humanist” plot.
“It’s not natural. It didn’t come from bats. They’re lying to us and they have been for decades,” he said in the clip.
“It was man made in a lab. Deliberately designed and deliberately released.
“They don’t want a cure. Why? Because they want us to take their vaccines. And their vaccines are going to kill us. They want to wipe out billions of people.”
The rant comes as police brace for the third consecutive weekend of anti-lockdown protests in Melbourne, with organisers planning rallies in mystery locations across the city.
